| Item 2.01 | Acquisition or Disposition of Assets |
On February 28, 2007, Transgenomic, Inc. (the “Registrant”) sold its warehouse facility located in Glasgow, Scotland (the “Facility”) to Construction Industry Training Board, an unaffiliated entity. The Facility had been used by the Registrant in connection with its discontinued Nucleic Acids operating segment. The gross sale price for the Facility was £1.5 million, which resulted in net proceeds to the Registrant (after transaction expenses and fees paid to the real estate brokers) of approximately £1.4 million (US $2.7 million). The net proceeds will be used primarily for general working capital purposes. The sale of the Facility did not result in any significant gain or loss to the Registrant.
