ITEM 8.01. Other Events

On June 18, 2008, Danka Business Systems PLC (“Danka” or the “Company”) filed a supplement to the proxy statement dated May 30, 2008, and issued a press release announcing that in response to statements by a number of holders of Danka’s ordinary shares/American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) that they support the sale of Danka Office Imaging Company (“DOIC”) to Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (“Konica Minolta”), but do not support the members voluntary liquidation (“MVL”) as currently proposed, Danka’s board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of Danka and its shareholders as a whole to no longer condition completion of the sale of DOIC to Konica Minolta upon shareholder approval of the MVL.

As a result, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Danka shareholders scheduled to be held on June 27, 2008, the board of directors will propose an amendment to the resolution to approve the sale of DOIC to Konica Minolta, such that if the resolution relating to the sale transaction is amended and the sale transaction then approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, the sale of DOIC to Konica Minolta will be completed, regardless of the outcome of the resolution to approve the MVL.

The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The supplement to the proxy statement was filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 18, 2008 and Danka shareholders are encouraged to read the proxy statement supplement in its entirety.

On June 18, 2008, in connection with the announcement that the board of directors will propose an amendment to the resolution to approve the sale of DOIC to Konica Minolta, the Company (i) amended the stock purchase agreement among the Company, Danka Holding Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danka, and Konica Minolta; (ii) amended and restated the letter agreement between the Company and the Cypress Shareholders, pursuant to which the Cypress Shareholders have agreed to vote in favor of proposed amendment to the resolution relating to the sale transaction, and they have reaffirmed their previous agreement to vote in favor of the sale transaction, MVL and related proposals; (iii) amended the deed of undertaking with the holders of the Company’s 6.50% senior convertible participating shares (the “Participating Shares”) such that the holders of the Participating Shares have reaffirmed their agreement to instruct any liquidators appointed in connection with a members voluntary liquidation, whether it be the proposed MVL approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting or a members voluntary liquidation approved at a future shareholder meeting, to pay to the holders of the Company’s ordinary shares (including holders of American Depositary Shares) as at the time at which the Liquidation commences, a payment in cash of $0.025 per ordinary share (or $0.10 per American Depositary Share); (iv) issued a press release in the United Kingdom (UK); and (v) sent a communication to the Company’s employees regarding these recent developments.

In addition, Cypress Merchant Banking Partners II L.P. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Cypress Shareholders”), which collectively hold approximately 92% of the Company’s outstanding Participating Shares, amended the voting agreement between the Cypress Shareholders and Konica Minolta, pursuant to which the Cypress Shareholders have agreed to vote in favor of, among other things, the sale transaction, the MVL and related proposals.

The amendment to the stock purchase agreement, the second amended and restated letter agreement, the amendment to the deed of undertaking, the amendment to the voting agreement, the UK press release and communication to employees are attached as Exhibits 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5, 99.6 and 99.7 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

On June 19, 2008, in connection with the proposed amendment to the resolution to approve the sale of DOIC to Konica Minolta, a supplement to the Class 1 Circular (“UK Circular”) was sent to holders of the Company’s ordinary shares in the United Kingdom pursuant to the UK Listing Authority listing rules.

The supplement to the UK Circular is attached as Exhibit 99.8 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
