Item 8.01 Other Events

On October 22, 2010, Dynasil Corporation of America (the "Company") determined to cause the mandatory conversion of all outstanding shares of its Series C 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") into shares of its Common Stock, $.0005 par value per share ("Common Stock"), at a conversion price of $2.50 per share. The conversion will be effected on December 21, 2010 (the "Conversion Date"). As a result, following the conversion on the Conversion Date, all 5,256,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock that had been outstanding will be cancelled and will be automatically converted, without any action required on the part of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, into an aggregate of 2,102,400 shares of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has 12,732,963 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock will accrue through the Conversion Date and will be paid to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock on the regularly scheduled payment date of January 5, 2011.

As a result of foregoing, as of the Conversion Date, the Company will no longer incur the annual Series C Preferred Stock dividend cost of $525,600 in cash or common stock dividends, as applicable.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Subscription Agreement relating thereto, two years after the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company can effect a mandatory conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share, if the closing price of the Common Stock is $4.00 per share or higher for a specified period. The 2 year period has elapsed, the $4.00 per share trading price requirement has been met and the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the conversion in order to eliminate the dividend payments.
