On June 24, 2015, the Company borrowed an additional $2,000,000 so that $3,000,000 is now outstanding. The terms of the Line of Credit are set forth in such Form 8-K and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 28, 2015, Gregory Consiglio, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, notified the Company that he is resigning from that position effective as of the close of business on June 30, 2015. The Nominating Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors intends to nominate Mr. Consiglio to become a member of the Company’s Board of Directors at the Company’s next annual stockholders meeting.
Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015, the Company intended to form a Special Committee of independent directors to review strategic alternatives for the Company. The Special Committee has been formed and Peter Horan, Michael Meyer and Birame Sock, each considered by the Board of Directors to be an independent director, have agreed to serve on such committee. These alternatives could include, among others, possible joint ventures, strategic partnerships, marketing alliances, sale of the Company, or other possible transactions. The Special Committee will evaluate, negotiate and, if the Special Committee so determines in its sole discretion, recommend to the Company’s full Board of Directors, any transaction suggested as a result of such negotiations. The Special Committee was formed because Mr. Sillerman and his affiliates are significant stockholders of the Company.
As previously set forth in a Form 8-K filed on March 20, 2015, Mr. Sillerman has proposed for consideration a transaction involving a purchase of the Wetpaint related assets owned by the Company and he has indicated he may otherwise propose an alternative transaction in which he may have an interest, including, without limitation, an offer to acquire all of shares of the Company that he does not already own or an offer to purchase certain other assets or subsidiaries of the Company. However, such expression of interest by Mr. Sillerman in making a proposal to the Company are very preliminary and there can be no assurance that any such proposal to the Company will be made, and Mr. Sillerman has not taken any substantial steps in furtherance thereof.
