Item 8.01 Other Events.
Over the past year, Studio One Media ("Company") has received significant interest from a number of consumer electronic products companies about employing its proprietary AfterMaster audio technology in their devices via dedicated semiconductor chips. The Company has dedicated substantial resources in recent months to pursue this enormous market, which includes such products as mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop and desktop computers, home audio, car audio, headphones, home and business phone systems, speakers and nearly any other product that provides an audio element. The Company is actively engaged in discussions with several parties that are interested in working with Studio One to complete the development and market such a product line of chips that can be embedded in a host of audio products. Based on the magnitude of the addressable market for such audio chips, the Company believes this represents one of its most significant revenue opportunities.
Consistent with the Company’s strategy of engaging leading industry experts to its Advisory Board to assist it in expediting its strategic initiatives, it is pleased to announce that Bret Zahn has recently joined the Company’s Advisory Board.
