Item 7.01  Regulation FD.

On January 8, 2012, Webxu, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a non-binding letter agreement (the “LOI”) with Threadpoint, LLC and its affiliate, Managed Media Group, LLC (collectively, “Threadpoint”) to memorialize our intent to acquire Threadpoint (the “Proposed Acquisition”) and Threadpoint’s granting to the Company the exclusive right to enter into such a transaction with Threadpoint between the date of execution of the LOI and until termination of the LOI.  For 2011, the full-year unaudited financial statements for Threadpoint project revenue of $28.9 million with EBITDA of $5.16 million.
 
Pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition, we will pay $12 million by issuing a 6-month note for $5 million, a 12-month note for $4 million, and an 18-month note for $3 million.  We will also issue 3 million shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 3 million shares at $1 per share to the Threadpoint owners.  During the first 12 months following the closing, the Threadpoint owners may receive an additional $5 million if our net income on a GAAP basis attributable to Threadpoint is at least $5 million for that period.  During the second 12 months following the closing, the Threadpoint owners may receive an additional $5 million if our net income on a GAAP basis attributable to Threadpoint is at least $5 million for that period.

Other material terms are as follows:

 
·
The Threadpoint owners will retire all of Threadpoint’s debt prior to the closing.  We will not assume any of Threadpont’s pre-closing liabilities.
 
·
All financing by Threadpoint pre-closing will be subordinate or pari-passu to debt financing that we procure in connection with the Proposed Acquisition.
 
·
Each party is responsible for its own legal expenses associated with the Proposed Acquisition.
 
·
Threadpoint must engage and pay for an independent audit of its business.
 
·
If Threadpoint is not a Delaware C-corporation, Threadpoint must, prior to closing, convert itself into a Delaware C-corporation at its own expense.
 
·
Key members of Threadpoint’s management will enter into employment agreements with the Company.
 
The Proposed Acquisition is subject to the execution and delivery by the Company and Threadpoint of a mutually satisfactory, definitive purchase agreement.  Our obligation to execute the definitive purchase agreement is subject to our due diligence review of Threadpoint’s business and the absence of any material adverse change in Threadpoint’s business through the closing.
   
We may terminate the LOI by providing Threadpoint with written notice.  After 90 days has passed from the LOI execution date without the parties entering into a definitive purchase agreement, either party may terminate the LOI by providing the other party with written notice.
 
The foregoing summary of the terms of the LOI is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the LOI, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
