Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibit

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 9, 2009, VirnetX Holding Corporation (the "Company") entered into an engagement letter (the "Engagement Letter") with McKool Smith, a professional corporation ("McKool"), confirming McKool as the Company's lead counsel in the Company's ongoing patent infringement litigation against Microsoft Corporation (the "Microsoft Litigation").

McKool has agreed to represent the Company in the Microsoft Litigation for a fixed fee of $3 million and a contingency fee of 8% of the litigation proceeds. In the event of a judgment or settlement below an agreed upon amount (designed to approximate the total legal fees associated with the matter), McKool's fixed fee will be limited to the actual time spent by McKool, up to a maximum of $3 million, plus the contingency fee of 8% of the litigation proceeds. McKool's out-of-pocket expenses are not capped pursuant to the Engagement Letter but are estimated to be approximately $1 million.

The foregoing description of the Engagement Letter is a summary of the terms of the agreement between McKool and the Company and does not purport to summarize or include all terms related to the Engagement Letter. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Engagement Letter which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

On June 11, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the engagement of McKool in connection with the Microsoft Litigation, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
