Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 10, 2010, Lawson Products, Inc. (“the Company”) completed the sale of substantially all
of the assets of Rutland Tool & Supply Company (“Rutland”), its wholly owned subsidiary, to Sid
Tool Co. Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc., (“MSC”) for
approximately $11.0 million in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The purchase price
may be adjusted based on the final value of the net working capital of Rutland. The Company
originally announced it had entered into the agreement to sell the assets of Rutland to MSC on
November 9, 2010.
In connection with the sale of Rutland, the Company and The PrivateBank and Trust Company

“Amendment”). The Amendment confirms PrivateBank’s consent to the sale of Rutland as set forth
above and releases Rutland from any and all liabilities and obligations under the Credit Agreement
between the Company and PrivateBank. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its
entirety to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing summary of
the sale of Rutland is qualified in its entirety by the Asset Agreement by and
between the Company and Rutland Tool & Supply Co., Sid Tool Co., Inc. and
MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc., which agreement is incorporated herein by
reference to Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K
