Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On April 14, 2003, Provant, Inc. completed the sale of its Senn-Delaney Leadership Consulting division (the “Business”) to Senn-Delaney Leadership Consulting Group, LLC (the “Purchaser”). The Purchaser is a company that is controlled by a group of employees led by Larry Senn, the founder and former principal owner of the Business. The Business was transferred to the Purchaser effective as of March 31, 2003 by the sale of tangible and intangible assets used in connection with the conduct of the Business. The purchase price consisted of $2.4 million cash paid at closing, an additional $540,000 of cash payable in equal monthly installments over three years, 1.4 million shares of Provant common stock valued at approximately $150,000 and the assumption by the Purchaser of $300,000 of indebtedness, a $600,000 obligation to certain employees and other liabilities relating to the Business. If the Business is resold within four years for a price of more than $8.0 million, Provant also will receive 50% of the sale price above $8.0 million subject to a cap of $3.0 million as additional purchase price.

The purchase price was determined through arms-length negotiations between Provant and the Purchaser. Provant used the cash proceeds less expenses to reduce its bank debt by $2.0 million.

Provant’s remaining business is its Government group.

Prior to the transaction, no material relationship existed between Provant (including its affiliates) and the Purchaser, although, prior to the closing, Larry Senn and James Hart, the Purchaser’s principal members, were stockholders and employees of Provant and Mr. Hart was an executive officer of Provant. In connection with the transaction, Mr. Hart resigned as an executive officer of Provant.
