TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on September 15, 2008 (the Petition Date), IFL Corp. (IFLC), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of International Fight League, Inc. (the Corporation), filed a voluntary
petition for reorganization relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
(Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
(the Court). IFLCs bankruptcy case is docketed as In re IFL Corp., Case No. 08-13589 (MG), and
IFLC will continue to operate its business and manage its properties as a debtor-in-possession
pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
On September 19, 2008, IFLC filed with the Court a motion for orders (a) authorizing IFLC to
sell all or substantially all of its assets to HDNet LLC (HDNet), subject to higher and better
offers, (b) approving bid procedures, (c) scheduling auction and sale hearing and (d) granting
related relief (the Sale Motion). In connection with the Sale Motion, on September 19, 2008,
IFLC and HDNet entered into an asset purchase agreement (the Asset Purchase Agreement), which
contemplates the sale of substantially all of IFLCs assets (the Purchased Asset) to HDNet for
total consideration of $650,000 in cash and the assumption by HDNet of certain liabilities of IFLC.
The Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to higher and better offers as set forth in the Sale
Motion.
The closing (the Closing) of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement
(the Transactions) is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, that the
order (the Sales Order) of the Bankruptcy Court (i) authorizing and approving the Transactions
and (ii) containing certain findings of facts, including, without limitation, a finding that HDNet
is a good faith purchaser pursuant to section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall have been
entered with the Court, shall have become a final order and shall be in form and substance
satisfactory to HDNet in its sole reasonable discretion.
The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (a) by mutual
written consent of IFLC and HDNet, (b) by IFLC or HDNet if an order of a court or other competent
authority preventing the consummation of the Transactions shall have become final and
non-appealable; (c) by either party upon ten days written notice, if the Closing shall not have
occurred on or prior to December 31, 2008; provided, that the failure of the Closing to occur by
such date is not due (in whole or in part) to a material breach by the terminating party of such
partys representations, warranties or covenants under the Asset Purchase Agreement; (d) by HDNet
if IFLC agrees in writing, publicly announces its intention or is authorized by its board of
directors to, directly or indirectly, sell any portion of the Purchase Assets to a third party; (e)
by HDNet if there has been a material breach by IFLC of any of its representation, warranties or
covenants contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement, which breach is not curable or if curable, is
not cured within 30 days after notice of such breach is given by HDNet to IFLC; or (f) by IFLC or
HDNet if the Bankruptcy Court approves an alternative transaction to the Transactions with or by
any party other than HDNet. In the event the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated following the
Courts entry of the Sales Order by HDNet for any of the reasons specified in clauses (c), (d), (e)
or (f) or by IFLC for the reason specified in clause (f), HDNet will be entitled to a break-up fee
of $19,500, as its sole and exclusive remedy (except in the case of a willful breach of the Asset
Purchase Agreement by IFLC).
The description of the Asset Purchase Agreement set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report
on Form 8-K.
