Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 4, 2010, GeoEye, Inc. ("GeoEye") entered into an agreement to acquire SPADAC Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SPADAC"), with a total purchase price of $46 million in a merger (the "Merger") as described below. SPADAC provides geospatial predictive analytics solutions to the defense, intelligence and homeland security market. Their industry leading predictive analytics technology combined with their world class team of analysts and intelligence professionals enable them to deliver solutions that customers rely on to support their operations around the world.

As consideration for the Merger, GeoEye will purchase 100% of SPADAC’s common stock for $46 million. The consideration will be comprised of (i) $34.5 million in cash, (ii) $9 million of unregistered shares of GeoEye common stock, par value $.01, and (iii) $2.5 million of GeoEye’s converted equity as a result of GeoEye’s previous investment in SPADAC. The Merger Agreement (as defined below) includes an adjustment for changes to the tangible net worth of SPADAC as of the closing of the Merger.

As discussed above, GeoEye entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") by and among GeoEye, GeoEye Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of GeoEye ("Merger Sub"), SPADAC, U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent under the Merger Agreement, and Jerry Poch, as the representative of the SPADAC stockholders under the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the satisfaction of certain closing conditions Merger Sub will merge with and into SPADAC, with SPADAC continuing as the surviving corporation after the Merger. The Merger Agreement was signed on December 4, 2010, and the parties expect to consummate the Merger before December 31, 2010. As a result of the Merger, SPADAC will become a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of GeoEye and be renamed GeoEye Analytics Inc.
