Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 1, 2006, Kforce Inc. (the “Firm”) entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Firm, Bradson Corporation, a Rhode Island corporation (“Bradson”), Kforce Government Holdings Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Firm (“KGH”), Ronald M. Bradley (“Bradley”), Barbara J. Lewis (“Lewis”) and David M. Halstead (“Halstead”) (collectively, Bradley, Lewis and Halstead are referred to as the “Shareholders”) and Ronald M. Bradley in his capacity as the Representative.

Bradson is a privately held company based in Arlington, Virginia, and has been a prime contractor of Finance & Accounting Professional Services to the Federal Government for over 20 years. Bradson’s primary customers include the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, KGH acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Bradson for a purchase price of $73,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which was subject to Bradson delivering a minimum of $4,000,000 in working capital at the time of closing. The Firm also expects to realize a future cash tax benefit with a net present value of approximately $13 million as a result of the election to classify the transaction as an asset sale for tax purposes under section 338(h)(10) of the IRS code. The cash consideration paid by KGH was comprised of the Firm’s cash on hand and borrowings under the Firm’s credit facility. On October 2, 2006, KGH placed into escrow $5,000,000 of the total Purchase Price to secure Bradson’s indemnification obligations, and to satisfy certain adjustments to the Purchase Price. KGH, Bradson, and the Shareholders have made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Firm is a party to the Stock Purchase Agreement as a guarantor of the performance of all obligations of KGH, including all obligations to make the payments of the Purchase Price to the Shareholders.
