Underwriting Agreement

On April 29, 2014, ePlus inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Stifel and William Blair as joint book-running managers, and Canaccord Genuity, as co-lead manager (the “Underwriters”) and the selling stockholders named therein (the “Selling Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell 1,573,913 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), to the Underwriters (the “Offering”). The Offering is expected to close on May 5, 2014, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company is not selling any shares in the Offering and will not receive any proceeds from the Offering.

The Offering was made pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated April 29, 2014, to the prospectus, dated February 14, 2014, included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-193457), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2014.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and includes the terms and conditions for the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders to the Underwriters, indemnification and contribution obligations and other terms and conditions customary in agreements of this type.

On April 29, 2014, the Company also entered into a stock repurchase agreement (the “Stock Repurchase Agreement”) with the Underwriters, pursuant to which the Underwriters agreed to sell 400,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which the Underwriters purchased from the Selling Stockholders in the Offering, to the Company at the price per share equal to the price paid by the Underwriters to purchase the shares from the Selling Stockholders in the Offering (the “Repurchase”). The Repurchase is expected to close on May 5, 2014.

The Stock Repurchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and includes the terms and conditions for the sale of the shares by the Underwriters to the Company, indemnification and contribution obligations and other terms and conditions customary in agreements of this type.
