Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

On April 10, 2013, Deutsche Bank filed a Form 4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) disclosing the redemption and release, as of April 2, 2013, of 3,380,079 shares of common stock (the “Remaining Pledged Shares”) of Emerson Radio Corp. (“Emerson”) to S&T International Distribution Ltd., (“S&T”), Emerson’s largest shareholder and a subsidiary of The Grande Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed). As previously disclosed, on February 10, 2012, Deutsche Bank AG (“Deutsche Bank”) had filed a Schedule 13G/A with the SEC in which it claimed beneficial ownership of the Remaining Pledged Shares out of an aggregate 3,780,600 shares of Emerson’s common stock which originally had been pledged to Deutsche Bank pursuant to a security agreement entered into by S&T.

As a result, Deutsche Bank no longer claims beneficial ownership of any of the Remaining Pledged Shares as of April 2, 2013. Furthermore, because S&T has regained control of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Emerson, Emerson is once again a Controlled Company, as defined in Section 801(a) of the NYSE MKT Rules. The Emerson Board of Directors (the “Board”) will continue to maintain the composition of its Audit Committee (currently comprised of two independent directors) and Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee (currently comprised solely of independent directors) in compliance with the rules regarding reporting companies generally and, in certain instances, smaller reporting companies, each established by NYSE MKT listing standards and the SEC. With respect to the composition of the Board, although Emerson is no longer bound by the Board composition rules that require either a majority of independent directors or, in the case of smaller reporting companies, such as Emerson, a Board comprised of at least 50% independent directors, the Board has no current intention to reduce the percentage of independent directors on the Board.
