Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
This amendment No. 1 amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Houston Wire & Cable Company (“HWC”) on October 5, 2016 (the “October 8-K”) reporting HWC’s acquisition of Vertex Corporate Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Vertex”) from DXP Enterprises Inc.

HWC has engaged independent public accountants to perform the audit of the financial statements of Vertex for the year ended December 31, 2015, incorporating the balance sheet at that date and the income and cash flow statements for the twelve months then ended. The audit work is still in progress, so additional time will be needed to complete the audit and a final Form 8-K/A including the necessary financial statements and exhibits will be filed at that time.
