On November 11, 2013, Mr. Christoph Mainusch, the Company’s co-Chief Executive Officer, entered into an employment agreement with the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary CME Media Services Limited (the “CM Agreement”).  Mr. Mainusch’s appointment as the Company’s co-Chief Executive Officer was previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on September 16, 2013.  Pursuant to the CM Agreement, Mr. Mainusch is entitled to receive an annual salary of $800,000.  Mr. Mainusch is also entitled to earn a bonus of $200,000 for the year ending December 31, 2013 and thereafter an annual bonus pursuant to guidelines set forth in the Company’s management compensation policy, with the target amount he is entitled to earn for an annual bonus equal to 100% of his annual salary.  Pursuant to these guidelines, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approves specific targets to be achieved in order for a bonus to be earned.  Under the CM Agreement, Mr. Mainusch is also entitled to a grant of restricted stock units having a fair market value of $300,000, which grant shall occur on or prior to December 15, 2013, and a grant of restricted stock units having a fair market value of $400,000 in 2014, in each case in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan.   The CM Agreement supersedes and replaces the letter agreement between Mr. Mainusch and the Company dated September 15, 2013.
