Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On December 29, 2010, Sourcefire, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Immunet Corporation, a California corporation (“Immunet”), Cloud Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain shareholders of Immunet. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on December 30, 2010, Merger Sub merged with and into Immunet, with Immunet as the surviving company and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

     Immunet is a provider of advanced cloud-based anti-malware technologies.

     The Company agreed to acquire Immunet for an aggregate amount in cash up to $21 million (subject to later adjustment based on final determination of net working capital) (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration includes $17 million paid at closing and up to $4 million payable to the holders of Immunet’s Common Stock and outstanding options and warrants to acquire Immunet’s Common Stock upon the achievement of certain post-closing milestones related to Immunet’s products. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all of Immunet’s outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock, as well as outstanding warrants to acquire Immunet’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock and outstanding, unexercised options to acquire Immunet’s Common Stock, were cancelled and converted into the right to receive an applicable portion of the Merger Consideration.

     The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Immunet’s shareholders will indemnify the Company, subject to certain limitations, for losses arising out of breaches of representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, as well as certain other indemnification items specified in the Merger Agreement.

     Immunet’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted the Merger Agreement and approved the Merger and recommended adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger by Immunet’s shareholders. A majority of Immunet’s stockholders, in the form of a written consent, have approved the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

     The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Merger Agreement, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to Sourcefire’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

The full text of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Company also announced in the press release a conference call to be held at 5:00 p.m. today to discuss the Merger, the Company’s preliminary fourth quarter 2010 results and its initial 2011 outlook.
