Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported, on August 7, 2012, Hyde Park Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 7,500,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”). The shares of Common Stock were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $75,000,000.

Also as previously reported, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 693,750 shares of Common Stock (“Sponsors’ Shares”) at a price of $10.00 per share, generating total proceeds of $6,937,500, to its initial stockholders. The Sponsors’ Shares are identical to the shares of Common Stock sold in the IPO. However, the purchasers have agreed (A) to vote their Sponsors’ Shares in favor of any proposed business combination, and (B) not to convert any Sponsors’ Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the Company’s proposed initial business combination or to sell any Sponsors’ Shares to the Company pursuant to any tender offer in connection with an initial business combination. Additionally, the purchasers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Sponsors’ Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination.

An audited balance sheet as of August 7, 2012 reflecting receipt of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
