On April 6, 2004, a press release was issued announcing that InterTAN, Inc. (“InterTAN”) has received a letter from RadioShack Corporation (“RadioShack”) purporting to terminate the Third Amended and Restated InterTAN Advertising Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated License Agreement and the Second Amended and Restated Merchandise Agreement among InterTAN and RadioShack (and certain of their affiliates). The letter from RadioShack stated, as grounds for such termination, that InterTAN has not paid a $55,000 annual fee under the Advertising Agreement for 2004, which amount has not yet been invoiced by RadioShack. RadioShack also filed a lawsuit in Texas state court seeking to terminate the agreements. InterTAN believes the notice is invalid, and intends to vigorously contest the purported termination of these agreements. InterTAN also received a notice from RadioShack on March 31, 2004, after the announcement of the execution of the merger agreement between InterTAN and Circuit City Stores, Inc., exercising RadioShack’s right to terminate the License Agreement effective as of June 30, 2009. The License Agreement had been set to expire June 30, 2010. Copies of the press release, three letters from RadioShack to InterTAN and a letter from InterTAN to RadioShack are filed as exhibits to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
