Item 2.01   Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On December 9, 2005, UNOVA, Inc. (the "Company") completed the disposition of
its Landis Grinding Systems division ("Landis") to members of Groupe
Fives-Lille, an international industrial engineering group based in
Montreuil-sous-Bois, France. The two companies announced the transaction on
October 28, 2005.




The selling parties under the Agreement are the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries UNOVA Industrial Automation Systems, Inc. ("UIASI"), UNOVA U.K.
Limited and UNOVA IP Corp. The purchasing parties are Compagnie de Fives-Lille,
a private French company, Cinetic Landis Grinding Corp., a Delaware corporation,
and Cinetic Landis Grinding Limited, a United Kingdom company. The purchasing
parties acquired the global operations of Landis through the purchase of
substantially all of the assets of the Landis Grinding Systems, Gardner
Abrasives, and CITCO divisions of UIASI in the U.S. and the Landis Lund and
Cranfield Precision divisions of UNOVA U.K. Limited in the United Kingdom.

The consideration for the purchased assets consisted of $69 million in cash, a
$10 million two-year note, and the assumption of certain liabilities, including
specified liabilities relating to pension and other post-retirement obligations.
The purchase price is subject to possible adjustments based on net working
assets at closing.
