Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 3, 2012, Kforce Inc. (the “Firm”) issued a press release announcing the closing of the Firm’s sale of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Kforce Clinical Research, Inc. (“KCR”) to inVentiv Health, Inc. (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 17, 2012, by and among the Firm, KCR and the Purchaser . A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.

The information furnished herewith pursuant to Item 7.01 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date of this Current Report, regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

In connection with the disposition of KCR as described in Item 7.01 above, the Firm’s Board of Directors exercised its discretion to accelerate the vesting of all outstanding and unvested restricted stock awards and alternative long-term incentive awards (“ALTI”) effective March 31, 2012 for tax planning purposes. The Firm will recognize a tax benefit from the acceleration of the vesting of restricted stock and ALTI which will allow it to defer all the tax liability generated from the sale of KCR. The Firm will be required to recognize all remaining unrecognized compensation expense associated with these awards in the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The incremental compensation expense to be recognized in the first quarter of approximately $31 million on a pre-tax basis will be reflected in the Firm’s selling, general and administrative expense.
