The annual meeting of stockholders of CKX, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on December 18, 2008. At the meeting, the stockholders re-elected all ten director nominees to serve on the Company’s board of directors and ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. Additional information about the proposals on which the stockholders voted can be found in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 2008.
As previously disclosed, the merger agreement between the Company and 19X, Inc., which is owned by Robert F.X. Sillerman and Simon Fuller, was terminated on October 31, 2008. At the time of the termination, 19X and Messrs. Sillerman and Fuller notified the Company of their intention to continue to pursue an alternative transaction for the acquisition of the Company. However, citing the continued global economic difficulties and related credit freeze, 19X and Messrs. Sillerman and Fuller have notified the Company that they no longer intend to actively pursue an alternate transaction at this time for the acquisition of the Company.
