Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 1, 2010, Convergys Corporation (the “Company”) completed the previously announced sale of its Human Resources Management (“HRM”) line of business to NorthgateArinso, the Human Resources division of Northgate Information Solutions Limited, for approximately $100 million, subject to post-close working capital adjustments. The consideration received at the closing consisted of approximately $80 million in cash and a zero coupon note issued by NorthgateArinso in the principal amount of $15 million. The note is payable in increments of $5 million on the second anniversary of the closing and $10 million on the third anniversary of the closing. The remaining $5 million of the purchase price is payable in cash and relates to and is conditioned upon successfully closing the sale of the Company’s HRM operations in Singapore, India and Russia, which sales are expected to be completed later this year.
