Introductory Note

On December 31, 2009, Marvel Entertainment, Inc. (“Marvel”) completed its merger with Maverick Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”), whereby Merger Sub merged with and into Marvel with Marvel continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Immediately after the effective time of the Merger, Marvel, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, merged with and into Maverick Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney, with Merger LLC surviving and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney (the “Upstream Merger”). In connection with the Upstream Merger, Merger LLC changed its name to Marvel Entertainment, LLC (“Marvel LLC”). The Merger and the Upstream Merger were effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 31, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Marvel, Disney, Merger Sub and Merger LLC. The following events took place in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the Upstream Merger:

Other than an outstanding letter of credit in the amount of $1,076,960 (the “Letter of Credit”), no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility at the effective time of the Merger. The Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized by Marvel and remains outstanding notwithstanding the termination of the Credit Facility. Prior to its termination, the Credit Facility provided Marvel with a $100 million revolving line of credit.
