Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On January 8, 2007, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting that we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Glass & Associates, Inc. (“Glass”). This transaction was subsequently consummated on January 9, 2007. Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Glass, the shareholders of Glass, Huron Consulting Group Holdings LLC, and Huron Consulting Group Inc., dated as of January 2, 2007 (the “Glass Agreement”) and joinder agreements by and between certain Glass shareholders and Huron Consulting Group Holdings LLC, dated as of January 2, 2007 (the “Joinders”), we acquired Glass for an aggregate purchase price at closing of approximately $30 million in cash, subject to standard post-closing adjustments. As described in detail in the Glass Agreement and the Joinders, additional purchase consideration is payable in cash if specific performance targets are met over the next four years. The amount of additional purchase consideration that may become payable is not determinable at this time, but the aggregate amount that potentially may be paid could be significant. We would expect, however, to fund such payments using cash flows generated from our operations.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Glass Agreement and the Joinders, copies of which were filed as Exhibits 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, respectively, to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 29, 2006 and filed on January 8, 2007, and are incorporated by reference herein.

In addition to historical information, this Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” or “continue.” These forward-looking statements reflect our current expectation about our future performance or achievements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual performance or achievements to be materially different from any expressed by these forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and in other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a complete description of the material risks we face.
