10, 2005, we announced that we had acquired Speltz &amp; Weis LLC pursuant to a
Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among Huron Consulting
Group Inc., Speltz &amp; Weis LLC (&#8220;S&amp;W&#8221;), SC Holding, LLC, David E. Speltz
and Timothy C. Weiss dated as of May 5, 2005 (the &#8220;Purchase and Sale
Agreement&#8221;). We acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of S&amp;W
for $17 million, of which $14 million was paid in cash and $3 million will be
paid in three equal annual installments of $1 million (together with accrued
interest at 4% per annum) beginning on May 8, 2006. The purchase price is
subject to standard post-closing adjustments. In addition, we will pay the
sellers additional amounts based on (i) the performance of S&amp;W during the
three-year period beginning June 1, 2005 and ending May 30, 2008 and (ii) the
amount of revenue we receive during that same period from referrals made by
S&amp;W and its employees from existing referral sources.</FONT></DIV>
