Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 31, 2012, MICROS Systems, Inc. (the
“Company”), Torex Retail Holdings Limited (“Torex”), the stockholders and optionholders of Torex, and MF
UK FC Limited (“Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, closed the transaction under which the Buyer acquired
all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Torex pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into by the parties on
April 26, 2012 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), previously described in the Company’s Current Report on Form
8-K dated April 26, 2012. The closing of the transaction was subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals by the Bundeskartellamt
(Federal Cartel Office) in Germany and the Konkurransetilsynet (Norwegian Competition Authority) in Norway, which have been obtained.
Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Buyer
acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Torex for a purchase price of approximately £119.9 million (approximately
$184.7 million calculated at the May 31, 2012 exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on June 1, 2012). The Company
through one of its subsidiaries also purchased certain assets of Torex located in the U.S. for a purchase price of £2.5 million
(approximately $3.9 million). These amounts exclude cash acquired of approximately £5.8 million (approximately $8.9 million).
The Company also assumed debt valued at £45.2 million (approximately $69.6 million). Of the purchase price, £19.4 million
(approximately $29.9 million) was paid into escrow upon closing to secure post-closing indemnification obligations of the Torex
stockholders. Amounts held in escrow will be released incrementally so that after the first and second anniversaries of the closing
date, £9.0 million (plus the balance of the initial retention amount of £2.8 million) and £1.4 million, respectively
(plus, in each case, amounts subject to pending indemnification claims, if any), will remain in escrow. Any remaining amounts other
than amounts subject to pending indemnification claims, if any, will be released on the seventh anniversary of the signing of the
Stock Purchase Agreement. The purchase price is subject to increase or decrease, as the case may be, to the extent that the “Working
Capital” (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) of Torex is more or less than the agreed working capital target (as
determined in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement). Certain of the Torex stockholders are prohibited for a period of 24
months following the consummation of the transaction from soliciting or hiring Torex employees retained by Buyer and from engaging
in specified competitive activities. The Company agreed to guarantee the performance by Buyer of its obligations under the Stock
Purchase Agreement. The Stock Purchase Agreement also includes various other provisions customary for transactions such as the
transaction contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement.
The foregoing includes a summary of the
material provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement. This summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
