Item 8.01 Other Events

 

Escalade’s wholly owned subsidiary, Indian Industries, Inc. has acquired substantially all of the business and assets of Cue and Case Sales’ billiard accessories business. Escalade believes these assets, including the acquired brands and trade names, will complement Escalade’s existing product lines in this category. This asset acquisition is not material to Escalade as it does not involve a significant amount of assets for financial reporting purposes.
