Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 16, 2012, Convergys Corporation (the “Company”) completed the previously announced sale of its Information Management business (the “IM Business”) to NetCracker Technology Corporation (“NetCracker”), a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC Corporation (“NEC”), for $449 million in cash, subject to post-close working capital adjustments.

In connection with the completion of the sale, the Company also entered into a Transition Services Agreement with NetCracker whereby Convergys would provide certain services to NetCracker subsequent to the completion of the sale. Additional documents that were negotiated as part of the completion of the transaction include various real property leases and subleases. Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries will provide up to 15 months of various services, such as facilities services, finance and accounting services and information technology services, to NetCracker to facilitate the transition of the IM Business.

The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement are solely for the benefit of the parties thereto, may represent an allocation of risk between the parties, may be subject to standards of materiality that differ from those that are applicable to investors and may be qualified by disclosures between the parties.
