Item 2.01   Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On August 31, 2011, Northeast Bancorp announced that certain assets of its insurance division, Northeast Bank Insurance Group (“NBIG”), had been acquired by local agencies in two separate transactions, effective September 1, 2011. The Varney Agency, of Bangor, Maine, purchased the assets of nine NBIG insurance offices which cover Southern, Central, and Western Maine for $6.3 million. Brad Scott, previously a member of the NBIG’s senior management team, acquired for $3.4 million the assets of Spence and Mathews Insurance, which operates one insurance office in Berwick, Maine, and serves customers in Southern Maine and Seacoast New Hampshire. In each transaction, the assets sold consisted primarily of customer lists and other intangible assets. The formula for establishing the consideration to be paid for the assets sold was a multiple of revenues typical for transactions of this type. The agreed upon consideration based on this formula was consistent with bids received from non-affiliated parties.
