On September 10, 2012, the Board of Directors of Viggle Inc. (the "Company") appointed John Small to serve as the Company's Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.

Mr. Small, 44 years old, has served as the Company's Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Development since 2011.

Mr. Small is a CFA and holds a BA, Economics and International Relations from Cornell University.

Mr. Small's employment agreement, which became effective of August 16, 2011 when he was appointed Head of Strategy and Corporate Development, provides for an annual salary of $300,000, as well as grants of options to purchase a total of 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $10.00 per share (number of shares and per share price are post 1 for 2 reverse split). If he is terminated without cause, due to death, disability, or change of control, he will receive a lump sum equal to three months' base salary, a pro-rated annual bonus based on the prior year's bonus, continuation of health benefits for two months (only in the event of termination without cause, death or change of control) , and accelerated vesting of stock options (provided that options granted in the second employment year shall only vest if such termination occurs after the first employment year and options granted in the third employment year shall only vest if such termination occurs after the second employment year).

Twenty-five percent vested at the time of grant, and twenty-five percent will vest annually in arrears for each of the next 3 years.

The Company previously reported on its Form 8-K dated August 13, 2012 that Benjamin Chen has been appointed to the Office of the Chairman to advise and consult with Robert F.X. Sillerman, the Company's Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Chen entered into a consulting agreement with the Company on September 11, 2012. Pursuant to such Agreement, (i) his compensation will be computed at the rate of $37,500 per month, payable two-thirds monthly in arrears and one-third in January 2013 and (ii) he has been granted options to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock, 300,000 of which vest on September 11, 2012 (the date of issue) and 300,000 of which will vest on March 11, 2013, if his agreement has not been terminated prior to such date. However, if the closing price of the Company's common stock is $3.00 or greater (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, reclassifications, recapitalizations and other similar events affecting all of the shares of Company common stock) for 20 consecutive trading days during which the average reported sales trading volume per day on any national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board exceeds 7,500 shares, then all options to purchase shares of Company common stock granted shall vest immediately. The consulting agreement may be terminated at any time upon not less than five days' written notice by either party.
