On December 30, 2013, the independent members of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Circle Entertainment Inc. (the "Company") received a letter (the "Letter") from Paul C. Kanavos ("Kanavos"), the President and a greater than 10% stockholder of the Company, Robert F.X. Sillerman ("Sillerman"), a non-independent member of the Board and a greater than 10% stockholder of the Company, and Brett Torino ("Torino"), a greater than 10% stockholder of the Company, in which Kanavos, Sillerman and Torino have proposed to acquire all of shares of common stock of the Company that they do not beneficially own for a purchase price of $0.03 per share pursuant to a short-form merger and related transactions (the "Proposal").

Kanavos, Sillerman and Torino beneficially own more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Letter acknowledges that the Board will establish a special committee composed solely of independent and disinterested members of the Board to negotiate the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Proposal.

No binding obligation on the part of Kanavos, Sillerman and Torino or the Company will arise with respect to the Letter or Proposal (other than as indicated below) unless and until a definitive agreement with the Company is executed and delivered.

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter, Kanavos, Sillerman and Torino have agreed to pay certain of the professional fees of the Company (including those of the special committee of the Board) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Proposal whether or not completed.

The Board will review and evaluate the Letter and the Proposal in due course, consistent with its fiduciary duties.

The foregoing description of the Letter and the Proposal is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Letter, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
