Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Acquisition of Choose Digital

On June 24, 2014, Viggle Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Viggle”), and Viggle Merger Sub III Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Viggle (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Choose Digital Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Choose Digital”), certain stockholders of Choose Digital (solely with respect to Articles 1, 5 and 6 and Subsection 10.1) and Amossyklein Family Holdings, LLLP, a Florida limited liability limited partnership (solely in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Agent).

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby have been approved by the board of directors of each of Viggle, Merger Sub and Choose Digital. Within twenty four hours following the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Choose Digital delivered to Viggle and Merger Sub the irrevocable written consent (the “Written Consent”) of certain of the holders of Choose Digital common stock (the “Choose Digital Common Stock”) and Choose Digital preferred stock (the “Choose Digital Preferred Stock” and, collectively with the Choose Digital Common Stock, the “Choose Digital Capital Stock”) adopting and approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Following receipt of the Written Consent, upon the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Choose Digital (the “Merger”), with Choose Digital continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viggle.




In connection with the Merger, all outstanding shares of Choose Digital Capital Stock, along with certain promissory notes payable by Choose Digital, were converted into the right to receive in the aggregate (A) approximately 1,963,309 shares of Viggle common stock (the “Stock Consideration”), plus (B) a contingent payment, to be made within five Business Days after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, in an aggregate amount up to $4,791,673.94, depending on the trading price of Viggle common stock at that time.   

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of Viggle, Merger Sub and Choose Digital.

A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby.  The Merger Agreement is not intended to provide any other factual information about Viggle, Choose Digital or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.  The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of Viggle and Choose Digital.  The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Merger Agreement and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement.  The disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement.  In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what an investor might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts.  Accordingly, you should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about Viggle, Choose Digital and their respective subsidiaries that are included in reports, statements and other filings made by Viggle with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Merger Agreement also contained certain registration rights, effective at the closing of the Merger, pursuant to which Viggle granted piggy-back registration rights to the shareholders and noteholders of Choose Digital for a specified period following October 30, 2014.

Also pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Viggle entered into a lockup agreement, effective at the closing of the Merger, with certain shareholders and noteholders of Choose Digital, pursuant to which such shareholders and noteholders party thereto are prohibited from selling shares of Viggle common stock until the date that is six months following the closing of the Merger.
