ITEM 8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

      Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is amended and supplemented by adding the following text at the end thereof:

“The initial period of the Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Wednesday, June 15, 2011. According to the Depositary, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of approximately 50,819,769 Common Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer (including Common Shares tendered through a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery), which, together with the Sillerman Shares held in a voting trust in accordance with, or otherwise subject to voting arrangements consistent with, the Sillerman Support Agreement, represent approximately 75.5% of all outstanding Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis. Additional Common Shares were tendered through Notices of Guaranteed Delivery. Offeror has accepted for payment all Common Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer, and payment for such Common Shares will be made promptly, in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

On June 16, 2011, Offeror and CKx issued a joint press release announcing the results of the Offer and that Offeror has commenced a subsequent offering period for all remaining untendered Common Shares expiring at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, June 20, 2011. Offeror will immediately accept for payment all Common Shares validly tendered during the subsequent offering period, and payment will be made promptly after acceptance, in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Holders of Common Shares that tender during the subsequent offering period will receive the same Offer Price paid during the initial offering period. The procedures for accepting the Offer and tendering Common Shares during the subsequent offering period are the same as those described for the Offer in the Offer to Purchase, except that no withdrawal rights will apply to Common Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period and no withdrawal rights will apply during the subsequent offering period with respect to Common Shares tendered in the initial offering period and accepted for payment.
