Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement





Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets



On January 3, 2017, National Presto Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Presto Absorbent Products, Inc. (“Seller”), entered into and simultaneously consummated the transactions contemplated an asset purchase agreement (the “asset purchase agreement”) with Drylock Technologies, Ltd. (“Buyer”). A copy of the asset purchase agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1.

Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, on the January 3, 2017 closing date Seller sold to Buyer certain assets used exclusively in Seller’s business of designing, manufacturing and marketing private-label and branded adult incontinence products (the “Business”). Buyer also assumed certain agreements and liabilities of the Business as of the closing date. Certain assets were excluded from the asset sale transaction, including Seller’s cash and cash equivalents, excluded contracts, and any assets not exclusively used in the Business.

On January 3, 2017, the Buyer paid the Seller approximately $67 million in respect of the asset sale transaction, subject to adjustment following the closing date for the difference between estimated and actual net working capital amounts.

Excluded from the assets sold at the January 3, 2017 closing were certain damaged assets exclusively used in the Business. The asset purchase agreement provides that, when repaired or replaced and otherwise meeting defined performance standards, these assets will be sold by Seller to Buyer on a delayed basis for $4.0 million at a subsequent closing.

As contemplated by the asset purchase agreement, on January 3, 2017, the Buyer offered employment to all of the Seller’s employees, and the Company, as landlord, entered into a lease agreement with Buyer, as tenant for the lease of a portion of the Company’s Eau Claire facility. Buyer will use the leased premises for manufacturing private-label and branded adult incontinence products and related activities.

The foregoing summary of the asset purchase agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the asset purchase agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. On January 3, 2017,  pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, by and among the registrant and Drylock Technologies, Ltd. (“Drylock”), the registrant sold substantially all assets of its wholly-owned absorbents product subsidiary, Presto Absorbent Products, Inc. to Drylock.  The registrant issued a press release regarding the transaction, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K. Such Exhibit shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the
