On October 17, 2012, Imperial Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), announced that Q.E.P. Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation (“QEP”), had completed the acquisition of the Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, QEP and Imperial Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of QEP.

ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On October 17, 2012, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, QEP completed the acquisition of the Company through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of QEP.  As a result of the Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) was automatically converted into the right to receive $0.30 cash per share (the “Merger Consideration”).  Additionally, each stock option granted under any Company stock plan and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration less the exercise price for the option. Based on the aggregate number, immediately prior to the Effective Time, of outstanding (i) shares of Common Stock and (ii) stock options with an exercise price less than the Merger Consideration, the total purchase price paid pursuant to the Merger was approximately $770,000.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions described therein is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 10.6 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 31, 2012.

The total purchase price paid pursuant to the Merger was approximately $770,000, which consideration was funded from QEP’s cash and existing credit facilities.

ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
