20-Jun-2008

Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Financial Statements and Exhibits


Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In connection with the acquisition of the remaining equity interests in certain businesses, on September 12, 2007 Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. ("LNW") and certain other subsidiaries of Live Nation, Inc. ("Live Nation") entered into a Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with KSC Consulting (Barbados) Inc. ("KSC"), a consulting company wholly-owned by Michael Cohl. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, KSC agreed to provide the full-time services of Mr. Cohl for a term of five years to serve as Chief Executive Officer of certain companies owned by Live Nation and as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company's Live Nation Artists division.

On June 20, 2008, the parties entered into an amendment to the Services Agreement (the "First Amendment"), under which Mr. Cohl will perform consulting services for LNW and certain of its subsidiaries through June 2012. LNW will, within five business days of the date of the First Amendment, pay to KSC a lump-sum payment of $4.5 million as full payment for Mr. Cohl's services under the consulting engagement. As part of the First Amendment, Mr. Cohl resigned as a director of Live Nation and from all offices he held with Live Nation and its affiliates, including as head of the Live Nation Artists division, and KSC and Mr. Cohl also entered into a general release of claims. Other provisions of the Services Agreement, including the non-competition provisions, remain in effect.

Live Nation, Mr. Cohl and SAMCO Investments Ltd. ("SAMCO") also entered into a Lockup and Registration Rights Agreement on September 12, 2007 in connection with the acquisition of the remaining equity interests in the acquired businesses (the "Lockup Agreement"). In connection with the First Amendment, Live Nation has released the lockup provisions contained in the Lockup Agreement. The other provisions of the Lockup Agreement remain in effect.

Also in connection with the September 2007 acquisition, Live Nation, SAMCO, Mr. Cohl and a trustee entered into a Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement"). Live Nation delivered shares of its common stock, which were part of the acquisition consideration, to the trustee to be held for the benefit of SAMCO and Mr. Cohl. As contemplated by the Trust Agreement, Live Nation will seek a ruling from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that Section 312.03 of the NYSE rules would not apply to a transfer of the shares held in the trust from the trustee to SAMCO and Mr. Cohl as a result of Mr. Cohl's resignation as a director and executive officer of Live Nation.
