Item 1.01 . Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement .
On September 20, 2017, Dejana Truck & Utility Equipment Company, LLC (formerly known as Acquisition Delta LLC) ( Delta ) entered into a Second Amendment (the Amendment ) to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 15, 2016 and amended on February 27, 2017 (the Agreement ), with Peter Paul Dejana Family Trust 12/31/98 (the Trust ), Peteco Kings Park Inc. (formerly known as Dejana Truck & Utility Equipment Company, Inc.) ( DTUENY ) and, solely in the capacity of appointed agent, Andrew Dejana. Pursuant to the Agreement, Delta, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Douglas Dynamics, Inc. (the Company ), acquired substantially all of the assets of DTUENY and specified entities directly or indirectly owned by the Trust on July 15, 2016.
As previously disclosed in the Companys Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on June 20, 2016 and March 1, 2017, the Agreement, as amended, provided for potential earnout payments of up to $26.0 million in the aggregate, contingent on the financial performance of the acquired business for each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018. In light of the financial performance of the acquired business that occurred for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, as well as the Companys expectation for the performance of the business for the years ended December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018, the Company anticipates that a portion of the $16.0 million of the potential remaining earnout payouts could be unearned. The Amendment extends the earnout measurement periods for an additional two years, namely the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, with the potential for the selling entities to earn up to 50% of the remaining earnout payments unearned based on the original earnout targets and measurement periods.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this Second Amendment ) is effective as of September 20, 2017 among Dejana Truck & Utility Equipment Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formerly known as Acquisition Delta LLC ( Buyer ), Peter Paul Dejana Family Trust Dated 12/31/98, a Florida trust (the Trust ), Peteco Kings Park Inc., a New York corporation formerly known as Dejana Truck & Utility Equipment Company, Inc. ( DTUENY ), and, solely in the capacity of representative, attorney-in-fact and agent of the Trust and DTUENY, Andrew Dejana, a resident of the State of New York ( Appointed Agent ).
WHEREAS, Buyer, the Trust, DTUENY and Appointed Agent have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement effective as of June 15, 2016 and amended as of February 27, 2017 (the Purchase Agreement ), pursuant to which Buyer acquired substantially all of the assets of DTUENY and certain of its affiliates; and
WHEREAS, Buyer, the Trust, DTUENY and Appointed Agent wish to enter into this Second Amendment to reflect certain amendments with respect to the manner in which the Annual Earnout Payments (if any) will be calculated under the Purchase Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants set forth in this Second Amendment, the parties agree as follows:
1. Earnout Actual Gross Profit . The definition of Earnout Actual Gross Profit in Section 11.16 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below:

As a result, (a) in the case of the Earnout Year ended December 31, 2017, the Earnout Actual Gross Profit for such Earnout Year shall exclude $1,796,912 on account of the $7,187,647 of net sales excluded from Earnout Actual Gross Sales for such Earnout Year and (b) in the case of the Earnout Year ended December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, the Earnout Actual Gross Profit for each such Earnout Year shall exclude $2,695,368 on account of the $10,781,470 of net sales excluded from Earnout Actual Gross Sales for each such Earnout Year.
2. Earnout Actual Gross Sales . The definition of Earnout Actual Gross Sales in Section 11.16 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below:

· in the case of the Earnout Year ended December 31, 2016, $0;
· in the case of the Earnout Year ended December 31, 2017, $7,187,647;
