Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 6, 2011, Wizard World, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements with accredited investors (each a “Subscriber and together the “Subscribers”), for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of $325,000 in Senior Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”).  The Debentures bear interest at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum and have a maturity date of February 28, 2011. The Company, at its option, shall have the right to prepay a portion or all outstanding principal of the Debentures prior to the Maturity Date without penalty.  The Debentures are mandatorily convertible into shares of the Company’s Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001, with a per share conversion price of $0.40 per share (the “Series A Preferred”), upon a private placement of the Company of a minimum of $500,000 of Series A Preferred (the “Qualified Offering”).  Additionally, at the option of the Subscribers, the Debentures are convertible into shares of Series A Preferred, in whole or in part, at any time between the original issue date of the Debentures and the Maturity Date, unless previously repaid by the Company or mandatorily converted into Series A Preferred.

The Debentures contain customary events of default, the occurrence of which would entitle Subscribers to accelerate the amounts outstanding.

The foregoing description of the Debentures is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Senior Convertible Debenture.
