Item 2.01 |
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets |
On April 18, 2013, Kadant Inc. (the "Company") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose that a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Companhia Brasileira de Tecnologia Industrial (CBTI) on April 12, 2013. In this Form 8-K, the Company indicated that, to the extent necessary, the financial statements required by Item 9.01(a) of Form 8-K and the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K would be filed by amendment to the Form 8-K within 71 calendar days.
Upon further analysis following completion of the acquisition, the Company has determined that the acquisition was not significant under Section 11-01(b) of Regulation S-X and that such financial statements and pro forma financial statements are therefore not required to be filed. Accordingly, the Company hereby amends the Form 8-K filed on April 18, 2013 to eliminate the references to the subsequent filing of financial statements and pro forma financial information relating to the acquisition.
