Function(x) Inc. (Pink Sheets: FNCX), founded by media and entertainment
entrepreneur Robert F.X. Sillerman, announced today that it has renamed
the company Viggle Inc. The Company also announced a reverse stock split.
Viggle has enjoyed great success since its launch on iOS devices in
January. In anticipation of new features and expanded device
compatibility, the Company is making the name change to make it simpler
and more direct for Viggle members and others to easily identify the
primary business of the Company with its publicly traded shares.
[The Company will trade under ticker symbol FNCXD. Subject to FINRA
approval, the Company anticipates that it will change its stock symbol
later this year and will publicly report such change when it becomes
effective.]
The Company also announced today a reverse 1 for 2 stock split,
effective June 7, 2012.
