CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

 
Transaction Valuation*   Amount of Filing Fee**
$511,409,101.50   $59,375.00
 
 
* Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation assumes the purchase of 92,613,473 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at $5.50 per share. The transaction value also includes the aggregate offer price for 370,000 shares of common stock estimated to be issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than $5.50 per share, which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding options by an amount equal to $5.50 minus the weighted average exercise price of such options.
** The amount of the filing fee is calculated in accordance with Fee Rate Advisory #5 for Fiscal Year 2011 issued by the SEC, effective December 27, 2010, by multiplying the Transaction Value by 0.00011610.

Item 11: Additional Information

Regulation M-A Item 1011

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase under the caption THE TENDER OFFER—Section 14 (“Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals”) is amended and supplemented as follows:

The information set forth under the heading “Litigation” is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

Three lawsuits have been initiated on behalf of a putative class of public stockholders of CKx concerning the Offer and the Merger, two of them in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, styled Nierenberg v. CKx, Inc., et al. (C.A. No. 5545-CC) and Vanwhy v. CKx, Inc., et al. One or both of these lawsuits name as defendants CKx, its current directors, Parent, Merger Sub and Apollo Global Management, LLC and Apollo Global Management VII, L.P. and, in one case, Mr. Sillerman. The complaints allege, among other things, that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by failing to obtain fair consideration for CKx’s stockholders and approving terms in the Merger Agreement that are allegedly unfair to public stockholders. One or both of the complaints further allege that CKx, Parent, Merger Sub, Apollo Global Management, LLC and Apollo Global Management VII, L.P. and, in one case, Mr. Sillerman aided and abetted those alleged breaches of duty. The complaints seek, among other things, certification of a class consisting of owners of Common Shares, an order preliminarily and permanently enjoining the proposed transaction, a judgment directing the individual defendants to take all appropriate and necessary steps to maximize stockholder value, an accounting by the defendants to plaintiff for all damages allegedly caused by them, rescission of the transaction with Parent and Merger Sub if it is consummated and setting it aside or awarding compensatory and/or rescissory damages, and attorneys’ fees and expenses and, in one case, an order requiring the disclosure of all material information necessary for CKx’s unaffiliated stockholders to make an informed decision whether to tender their Common Shares. As of the date of this filing, for procedural reasons, the Vanwhy complaint had not yet been accepted by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. CKx and the other defendants believe the plaintiffs’ allegations lack merit, and will contest them vigorously.

The third lawsuit, styled Leone v. Edwin M. Banks, et al (No. 650538/2010), is pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and names CKx, Apollo Global Management, LLC, Parent, Merger Sub, Offeror and Mr. Sillerman as defendants in addition to the current members of the CKx Board (other than Mr. Bloom). The complaint alleges, among other things, that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by failing to obtain fair consideration for CKx’s stockholders and approving terms in the Merger Agreement that are allegedly unfair to public stockholders. The complaint further alleges that Parent, Merger Sub, Apollo Global Management, LLC, Offeror and Mr. Sillerman aided and abetted those alleged breaches of duty. The complaint seeks, among other things, certification that the action is properly maintainable as a class action and certifying the plaintiff as class representative, an order enjoining the proposed transaction unless and until CKx adopts and implements a procedure or process to obtain a merger agreement providing the best possible terms for stockholders, rescission of the transaction with Parent and Merger Sub if it is consummated, declaration that the amendment to CKx’s bylaws (as described in Section I.17 (“The Merger Agreement and Certain Other Agreements”)) is null and void, an accounting by the defendants to plaintiff for all damages allegedly caused by them and an award of plaintiff’s costs and disbursement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits (a)(5)(D), (a)(5)(E) and (a)(5)(F) of the Schedule 14D-9 which are incorporated herein by reference.
