On October 28, 2014, Redbox issued a press release regarding the Letter Agreement with Lionsgate (as those terms are defined below). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

On October 27, 2014, Redbox Automated Retail, LLC (“Redbox”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Outerwall Inc. (“Outerwall”), entered into an Amended and Restated Home Video Lease Output Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Lions Gate Films, Inc. (“Lionsgate”). The Letter Agreement extends the term of Redbox’s arrangement to license theatrical and direct-to-video titles released by Lionsgate through September 30, 2016, which will be automatically extended for an additional year under certain conditions.

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words indicating future events, performance, results and actions, such as “will” and “expect,” and variations of such words, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K include statements regarding Redbox’s relationship with Lionsgate relating to among other things, a licensing arrangement. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may vary materially from the results expressed or implied in such statements. Differences may result from, among other things, actions taken by Redbox or Lionsgate, including those beyond Outerwall’s or Redbox’s control. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the early termination or renegotiation on materially adverse terms of the Letter Agreement and failure to abide by the terms and requirements of the Letter Agreement. The foregoing list of risks and uncertainties is illustrative, but by no means exhaustive. For more information on factors that may affect future performance, including our relationship with Lionsgate, please review “Risk Factors” described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements reflect Outerwall’s expectations as of the date hereof. Outerwall undertakes no obligation to update the information provided herein.
