As previously reported, Fleetwood Homes, Inc. (“Fleetwood Homes”), a subsidiary of Cavco Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), through its newly-formed subsidiary, Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Co.”), entered into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Palm Harbor”) and certain of its subsidiaries to purchase substantially all of the assets, and assume specified liabilities, of Palm Harbor, subject to an auction process under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010. On March 1, 2011, Acquisition Co. was selected as the successful bidder in the court auction with a bid of $83.9 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.  The Company announced that the transaction was approved and a sale order entered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on March 4, 2011. The Company and Third Avenue Value Fund (“Third Avenue”) each owns 50% of Fleetwood Homes.  The purchase price will be funded by Fleetwood Homes’ cash on hand along with equal equity contributions from the Company and Third Avenue. A copy of the Corporation’s press release announcing these events is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
