Section 1—Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 19, 2006, Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc. and Spice Hot Entertainment, Inc., each indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant (collectively, “Playboy”), entered into an agreement with DirecTV, Inc. (“DirecTV”) to extend their existing relationship for the distribution of Playboy channels to DirecTV subscribers.

 

The agreement grants DirecTV the non-exclusive right to transmit Playboy’s Playboy TV, Spice Xcess and Club Jenna networks in the United States to customers of DirecTV for a period ending on November 15, 2008. Playboy currently provides DirecTV with Playboy TV and two additional channels through its existing agreement with DirecTV. Playboy anticipates that transmission of the new networks will commence on November 16, 2006.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Playboy’s revenue will reflect its contractual share of revenues received from DirecTV’s residential customers who purchase the right to view the networks’ programming, subject to DirecTV receiving certain minimum revenue amounts from the networks other than Playboy TV.

 

The foregoing is a summary description of the terms of the agreement and by its nature is incomplete. For further information regarding the terms and conditions of the agreement, reference is made to the complete text of the agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
