Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On March 30, 2015, Remark Media, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Subscription Agreements with certain investors with respect to the registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of 850,000 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at an offering price of $4.00 per share.  Of the 850,000 shares offered in the Offering, 575,000 shares were offered directly to investors without a placement agent, underwriter, broker or dealer (the “Direct Shares”), and 275,000 shares were arranged for by placement agents (the “Placed Shares”).
 
Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) is acting as lead placement agent for the Offering and The Benchmark Company is acting as co-placement agent for the Offering.  On March 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Placement Agent Agreement, dated March 30, 2015 (the “Placement Agent Agreement”), by and between the Company and Maxim.  Under the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Maxim an aggregate cash placement fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds in the Offering from sales arranged by the placement agents, or an aggregate of $88,000.  The Company has also agreed to pay all of Maxim’s fees, disbursements and expenses in connection with the Offering, including but not limited to its reasonable legal fees, not to exceed $70,000.
 
The Shares will be issued under the Company’s effective shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-202024).  A prospectus supplement to such registration statement relating to the Offering was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2015.  The Offering is expected to close on or about March 31, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
 
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares in the Offering, after deducting offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $3.1 million.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital for the Company’s various business units, acquisitions and capital expenditures.
