On June 24, 2010, 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) and The CW Network, LLC (“The CW”) entered into an agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) amending the October 1, 2007 agreement between them regarding the five hour Saturday morning kids block on The CW Network.

 

Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, The CW and the Company will continue to share in national ad revenue (“revenue”) from the block, with The CW’s share of revenue to be applied against a guarantee payable by the Company to The CW. The minimum guarantee payable by the Company to The CW Network has been reduced under the Amended Agreement from $15 million to $12 million for the 2009 / 2010 broadcast season and to $11.5 million for the remaining three broadcast seasons covered by the Amended Agreement. In addition, the revenue sharing percentage has been revised to provide (1 ) for a 80% / 20% revenue split in favor of The CW until it has received its minimum guarantee applicable to such broadcast season, (2) for the Company to retain 100% of the revenue until its share of the revenue for such broadcast season equals 35%, (3) for a 65% / 35% revenue split in favor of The CW until $20 million in revenue has been realized and (4) for a revenue split between the parties to be 50% / 50% thereafter. The Amended Agreement also requires the Company to make certain security arrangements in favor of The CW to secure payment of the minimum guarantee and The CW's share of national advertising proceeds. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
