Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On March 22, 2011, All American Group, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“AAG”) and William P. Johnson, as Trustee, entered into a Liquidating Trust Agreement, creating the Specialty Vehicles Liquidating Trust (the “Liquidating Trust”) under Indiana law. Mr. Johnson is the former Chairman of the Board of AAG. Units of beneficial interest in the Liquidating Trust (the “Units”) will be issued to former shareholders of AAG as part of the consideration in the merger described in Item 8.01 of this Report. A copy of the executed Liquidating Trust Agreement is being filed as Exhibit 99 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
     If AAG’s Specialty Vehicles business is sold within the time periods and for the minimum net proceeds provided for the in the merger agreement described in Item 8.01 of this Report, the Liquidating Trust will receive the net proceeds of such sale in excess of $5 million and distribute such excess to the holders of the Units.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
     On March 24, 2011, AAG filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Indiana, pursuant to which Acquisition Sub merged with and into AAG, with AAG continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, AAG became a wholly owned subsidiary of All American Group Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Acquiror”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each Common Share was canceled and ceased to exist, and except for those Common Shares held by AAG or its subsidiaries, Acquiror or its affiliates, or shareholders that perfect their dissenters’ rights under Indiana law, automatically converted into the right to receive $0.20 in cash, without interest, and one Unit of the Liquidating Trust (the “Merger Consideration”). Each Common Share held by Acquiror or its affiliates was converted into a right to receive one Unit of the Liquidating Trust. Common Shares held by shareholders that perfected dissenters’ rights under Indiana law ceased to be outstanding and entitle the holder only to the rights provided under Indiana law.
     The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2 to AAG’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 10, 2010, and is incorporated herein by reference.
