Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 12, 2011, Motricity, Inc. (the “Company”) and Adenyo Inc. (“Adenyo”), together with certain of their respective subsidiaries, entered into a revised Arrangement Agreement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will acquire substantially all of the assets of Adenyo and its subsidiaries and assume certain of Adenyo’s liabilities, and terminated the Arrangement Agreement, dated January 30, 2011 (the “Original Agreement”), among the Company, Adenyo and a shareholder representative of Adenyo. The Plan of Arrangement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and as an asset purchase agreement is expected to provide certain positive tax benefits when compared to the prior stock purchase structure and is otherwise substantially consistent with the terms and conditions of the Original Agreement as described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2011.

The shares of the Company’s Common Stock, if any, that may be paid as consideration to Adenyo are expected to be immediately distributed to Adenyo’s shareholders the issuance of such shares is expected to be exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Section 3(a)(10) exempts securities issued in exchange for property interests from the general requirement of registration where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by any court of competent jurisdiction, after a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance at which all persons to whom the securities will be issued have the right to appear. The Plan of Arrangement will be subject to approval by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List). The Acquisition is expected to close by mid-April 2011.

The Plan of Arrangement has been included solely to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to be a source of financial, business or operational information about Adenyo, the Company or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Arrangement Agreement are made only for purposes of the agreement and are made as of specific dates; are solely for the benefit of the parties; may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Investors and security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Adenyo, the Company or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
