Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 30, 2016, Fluent, LLC (“Fluent”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Cogint, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Limited Consent and Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (“Amendment”), among Fluent, as Borrower, the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, the financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, and Whitehorse Finance, Inc., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), amending Fluent’s term loan facility dated as of December 8, 2015 among Fluent, the persons party thereto from time to time as guarantors, including the Company, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders, and the Administrative Agent (the “Agreement”).

The Amendment, among other things, modifies certain provisions set forth in the Agreement. The Amendment also requires the Company to deliver to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to October 7, 2016, (i) amended and restated warrants amending the strike price of the two hundred thousand (200,000) warrants, dated December 8, 2015, currently held by the Administrative Agent and/or its affiliates (the “Existing Warrants”), from $8.00 per share to a per share price equal to the five (5) day volume weighted average of the closing market price of the Company’s common stock listed on the NASDAQ Global Market as of September 30, 2016, which was $5.0829, and (ii) one hundred thousand (100,000) new warrants (“New Warrants”) on terms and conditions substantially similar to the Existing Warrants, as amended and restated, with a per share strike price also equal to $5.0829. The New Warrants were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D thereunder.

The description of the amended and restated Existing Warrants and the New Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amended and restated Existing Warrants and to the New Warrants, forms of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
