Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported, on December 22, 2014, ModusLink received a letter from a major customer, which claimed that ModusLink was responsible for the theft of the customer’s proprietary data from two of ModusLink’s sites in China. The letter alleged that the customer had suffered significant losses as a result of the alleged theft. ModusLink vigorously denied the allegations. The parties have resolved the issue and have entered into a confidential settlement agreement. This settlement will not result in a material impact on ModusLink’s financial condition or results of operations.
