Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 1, 2009, Steel Vault Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Steel Vault”), VeriChip Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“VeriChip”), and VeriChip Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of VeriChip (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Amendment No. 1”). Amendment No. 1 amends the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) dated September 4, 2009, pursuant to which the Acquisition Subsidiary will be merged with and into Steel Vault, with Steel Vault surviving and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of VeriChip (the “Merger”).

Amendment No. 1 provides that any fractional shares of VeriChip common stock issuable as merger consideration shall be exchanged for an amount of cash (without interest) equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the average of the daily closing sales prices of a share of VeriChip common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the effective time of the Merger, rather than rounding any fractional share up to the nearest whole share of VeriChip common stock.

A copy of Amendment No. 1 is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the Merger Agreement was previously filed on September 8, 2009 as Exhibit 2.1 to Current Report on Form 8-K.
