Item 1.01.            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 29, 2014, Respect Your Universe, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 13,346,830 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of US$0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of US$1,334,683.07 (the “Financing”). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock (a “Share”) and one warrant (a “Warrant”), which entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of US$0.25 per Share for a period of three years. The Company closed the Financing and issued the Units on February 3, 2014.

RYU paid a finder’s fee of US$115,650 to one finder in connection with the Financing.

The Company agreed in the Subscription Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”), ninety days after the closing of the sale of Units to register all or such portion of the Shares and Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants permitted by SEC Guidance for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act.

The foregoing descriptions of the Subscription Agreement and the Warrant do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
