Item 8.01.   Other Events.
     On December 23, 2008, 3D Systems Corporation (the “Company”) completed the sale of its Grand Junction, Colorado facility to an unrelated purchaser for $5.5 million. At the closing of the sale, the Company received $3.5 million in cash and a secured $2.0 million note due in December 2013 covering the remainder of the purchase price. The security for this note consists of a second mortgage on both the facility that the company sold and an additional facility owned by the buyer of the Grand Junction facility. In addition, the buyer has executed a personal guarantee to secure the note. This second mortgage is subordinated to a mortgage covering the same collateral that is held by the buyer’s bank.
     Quarterly payments of $6,800 are due on this note starting in September 2009 with a balloon payment for the then outstanding balance due in December 2013. The buyer is required to prepay the note if either of the properties that serve as collateral are sold or future financing is obtained. The Company intends to assign a fair value to this note in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but it has not yet calculated such amount.
     The sale price exceeded both the $3.5 million of net assets related to the Grand Junction facility that the Company held on its balance sheet as well as the $3.1 million of industrial development bonds that were outstanding on the facility at the time of sale.
     The Company fully collaterized the repayment of those industrial development bonds, including interest and any other amounts due through the redemption date, with a portion of the cash proceeds of the sale of the Grand Junction facility and the $1.2 million of previously disclosed restricted cash associated with these bonds held by their trustee. Net of expenses relating to the sale and the amount necessary to fund the redemption of these bonds, the Company received approximately $1.1 million of net cash proceeds upon the closing of the sale.
     On December 24, 2008, the Company gave the required 35-day notice to redeem the outstanding bonds and expects the remaining outstanding amounts of these bonds to be redeemed in accordance with their terms on January 28, 2009.
