Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 17, 2005, we entered into an amendment of the Administrative Services Agreement between us and AF Services, LLC (formerly AF Services, Inc.), a subsidiary of PC Mall, Inc., pursuant to which the scope of the services covered by the agreement was reduced and monthly service charges were correspondingly reduced from $101,600 to $19,000, effective as of the date of our spin-off from PC Mall. Under the amended agreement, services will consist of payroll administration, tax return preparation, human resources administration, product information management, catalog advertising production services, and accounting and finance services necessary for the preparation of our financial statements for periods through the date of our spin-off from PC Mall.
We originally entered into the Administrative Services Agreement with AF Services in connection with our initial public offering, at which time we entered into several agreements with PC Mall and its affiliates relating to our proposed spin-off from PC Mall. Those agreements are described in Amendment No. 7 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on August 27, 2004. PC Mall currently owns approximately 80.2% of our outstanding common stock and has announced that it intends to distribute all of the shares of our common stock to its stockholders on April 11, 2005 to its stockholders of record as of March 28, 2005.
