Item 1.01

 

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 23, 2008, Answers Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the Amendment”) to its securities purchase agreement dated January 15, 2008 with an institutional investor (the “Convertible Note Holder”), for the purchase and sale of $8.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior secured convertible notes due December 31, 2010 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Amendment changes the termination fee payable under the securities purchase agreement from a payment in the form of a note to a cash payment.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, if the Company’s purchase agreement with Lexico is terminated, or if the securities purchase agreement with the Convertible Note Holder is terminated, or if the closing of the Convertible Notes financing has not occurred by March 1, 2008, the Company will be required to pay the Convertible Note Holder a cash termination fee of $425 thousand.  This termination fee will not be in the form of Convertible Notes.  Alternatively, if the transaction with Lexico is consummated but the closing of the Convertible Notes financing has not occurred, the Company will be required to pay the Convertible Note Holder a cash termination fee of $365 thousand.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
