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:

Effective as of December 9, 2013, Outerwall Inc. (the “Company” or “Outerwall”), as borrower, the Revolving Lenders (as defined below), the Additional Term Facility Lenders (as defined below), and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, entered into the Supplement and Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Supplement and Amendment”), which increases the Company’s lending capacity under its revolving credit line by $150 million and establishes an additional term loan in the amount of $200 million pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on July 15, 2011, the Company, as borrower, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as the same has been subsequently amended, modified, restated, and supplemented, the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) providing for a senior secured revolving credit facility and a senior secured term loan facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). As a result of entering into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Credit Facilities provided: (i) a five-year amortizing term loan facility in the amount of $175 million (the “Term Facility”); (ii) a $450 million revolving line of credit commitment (the “Revolving Line”); and (iii) subject to applicable conditions and subject to obtaining commitments from lenders, the ability for the Company to request an increase in the Credit Facilities of up to $250 million in aggregate (the “Accordion”).

Pursuant to the Supplement and Amendment, the Accordion was increased by $100 million to $350 million (the “Increased Accordion”) and the Company exercised the Increased Accordion with: (i) certain revolving lenders (the “Revolving Lenders”) agreeing to increase their commitments under the Revolving Line to an aggregate $600 million (the “Increased Revolving Line”); and (ii) the additional term facility lenders (the “Additional Term Facility Lenders”) agreeing to make available an additional term loan facility in the amount of $200 million (the “Additional Term Facility”).

Under the Supplement and Amendment, the terms and conditions applicable to the Increased Revolving Line shall remain generally the same as those of the Revolving Line. With regard to the Additional Term Facility, the terms shall remain generally the same as those of the Term Facility, except that: (i) until the first business day following the date a compliance certificate is delivered under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014, the applicable interest rates for loans under the Additional Term Facility shall be no less than those corresponding to Pricing Level 3 as provided in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; and (ii) the principal balance of the loans under the Additional Term Facility shall be payable on the following dates and in the following amounts (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate amount of the initial loans made under the Additional Term Facility):

The Company is in the process of taking out loans of $200 million under the Additional Term Facility, which are expected to fund on December 10, 2013.

The description of the Supplement and Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified by reference to the Supplement and Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein; and the description of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified by reference to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed on July 15, 2011, and First Amendment to Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.57 to the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which copies are incorporated by reference herein.

Parties to the Supplement and Amendment and the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement have in the past performed, and may in the future perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending, or commercial banking services, or other services for the Company and its subsidiaries, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, compensation and expense reimbursement.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.

On December 5, 2013, following completion of its previously announced comprehensive operation review, Outerwall committed to a restructuring plan intended to, among other things, better align Outerwall’s cost structure with revenue growth in our core businesses. As part of the plan, the Company will discontinue three ventures in its New Ventures operating segment, Rubi, Crisp Market, and Star Studio. The closure of the three ventures and certain charges associated with their shut-down will be reported in discontinued operations beginning with the Company’s fourth quarter 2013 results. The closure of the three ventures is expected to be substantially complete by the end of the first quarter of 2014.

Also as part of the restructuring plan, Outerwall is implementing actions to reduce costs by approximately $22 million annually beginning in 2014, primarily through workforce reductions across the Company. To that end, Outerwall is reducing its workforce by 251 positions, an 8.5% reduction. These reductions are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of 2014.

As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company estimates it will record total pre-tax charges as follows:

Of the total charges, $9.0 million to $12.0 million is estimated to result in future cash expenditures, none of which arise from the impairment charges.

The Company’s shutdown of Crisp Market is also expected to result in a tax benefit of approximately $0.56 to $0.59 in diluted EPS in the fourth quarter of 2013, through the use of a worthless stock deduction. The tax benefit will be reported as a component of the Company’s non-core, continuing operations.

The Company’s press release dated December 10, 2013 provides additional information relating to the matters described above.

The information set forth under Item 2.05 above is incorporated herein by reference.

On December 6, 2013, President Anne Saunders of Redbox Automated Retail, LLC (“Redbox”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Outerwall, left the business. Leadership responsibilities for Redbox will be managed by the existing Redbox executive team, overseen by J. Scott Di Valerio, Outerwall’s Chief Executive Officer, who will also serve as acting Interim President of Redbox.

Outerwall intends to enter into a separation and release of claims arrangement with Ms. Saunders. This arrangement has not been finally determined, but will be included in a subsequent filing when the arrangement is finalized if and as may be required.

On December 10, 2013, the Company issued a press release in connection with the matters described in the items above, including information regarding a related webcast. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
