Item 1.01.
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On July 20, 2006, Perficient, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, Perficient DCSS, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Buyer”), and Digital Consulting & Software Services, Inc., a Texas corporation (“DCSS”), pursuant to which Buyer purchased substantially all of DCSS’s assets and properties used or held for use in connection with DCSS’s Energy, Government and General Business unit (the “EGG Division”) and assumed certain liabilities of DCSS (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition closed on July 21, 2006. The consideration paid by the Company and Buyer to DCSS in the transaction is approximately $12.9 million, and includes $6.4 million in cash and 511,381 shares of the Company’s common stock worth $6.5 million (based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the thirty trading days immediately preceding the closing date of the Acquisition; GAAP accounting will require using the closing price of the Company’s common stock at or near the closing date of the Acquisition in reporting the value of the stock consideration paid in the Acquisition).

The Purchase Agreement contains other customary terms and provisions. The assets acquired in the Acquisition include accounts receivable, personal property, the rights and benefits under certain contracts and intangible assets relating to the EGG Division. Prior to the Acquisition, the assets of the EGG Division were used by DCSS to provide information technology consulting and staffing solutions to the EGG Division’s customers. The Company intends to continue such uses for the assets acquired in the Acquisition.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
