Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 18, 2017, HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, HEICO Electronic Technologies Group has agreed to purchase 100% of the stock of AAT in exchange for $316.5 million in cash, subject to typical post-closing adjustments, and up to $20 million in aggregate of additional contingent consideration payable during the first six years following the acquisition. Closing, which is subject to governmental approval and standard closing conditions, is expected to occur within 60 days.
