Purchaser is a Delaware corporation incorporated on May 28, 2015 and a wholly owned subsidiary of GameStop.

Item 3. Sources and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

As described in response to Item 4, the shares of Common Stock to which this Statement relates have not been purchased by the Reporting Persons as of the date of this filing, and thus no funds were used for this purpose.

It is anticipated that the funding for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined in Item 4 below) (the “Transactions”) will consist of cash on hand of GameStop.

As a condition to GameStop’s and Purchaser’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, GameStop and Purchaser entered into the Support Agreements (as defined in Item 4 below) with the Supporting Stockholders (as defined in Item 4 below). Pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Support Agreements, each Supporting Stockholder has agreed, among other things, to tender, and not withdraw, the Subject Shares (as defined in Item 4 below) without the prior written consent of GameStop. None of the Reporting Persons or the Issuer paid additional consideration to the Supporting Stockholders in connection with the execution and delivery of the Support Agreements.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Merger Agreement and Tender Offer

On June 1, 2015, GameStop and Purchaser entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Issuer, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the GameStop’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 2, 2015, and is incorporated by reference in its entirety as Exhibit 99.2 (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the Merger Agreement, among other things, Purchaser will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the Common Stock, at a price per share of $20.00 (the “Offer Price”), without interest thereon, net to the holder thereof in cash, and subject to reduction for any applicable withholding, back-up withholding or other applicable tax withholdings. Upon successful completion of the Offer, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will be merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), and the Issuer will survive the Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of GameStop. It is anticipated that the Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, with no stockholder vote required to consummate the Merger.

Support Agreements

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, GameStop and Purchaser entered into, in each case dated as of June 1, 2015, a tender and support agreement with each of Kenneth G. Langone and Eric Semler (collectively, the “Support Agreements”) (Messrs. Langone and Semler, the “Supporting Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Support Agreements, the Supporting Stockholders have agreed to tender all shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by such stockholders in the Offer and otherwise support the Transactions. The Support Agreements terminate upon certain events, including any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and amendments to the Offer or Merger that reduces the Offer Price or changes the form of consideration payable in the Offer or the Merger. In addition, the Supporting Stockholders’ obligations to support the Transactions terminate if the board of directors of the Issuer withdraws or modifies its recommendation that the stockholders of the Issuer accept the Offer and tender their shares of Common Stock to Purchaser in the Offer. In such case, any shares tendered by the Supporting Stockholders would be returned to the Supporting Stockholders.

Based upon information provided by the Supporting Stockholders in their respective Tender and Support Agreements, as of June 1, 2015, the Subject Shares included: (i) 774,402 Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Kenneth D. Langone and (ii) 672,232 Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Eric Semler.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired shared voting and disposition power with respect to the Subject Shares by reason of the execution and delivery of the Support Agreements by GameStop and Purchaser.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements. The Merger Agreement and the Support Agreements are each attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2, 99.3, and 99.4 respectively, to this Statement and incorporated by referenced herein.

The primary purpose of the transactions described above is for GameStop, through Purchaser, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. GameStop required that the Supporting Stockholders agree to enter into the Support Agreements as part of the inducements for GameStop and Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger. Upon consummation of the Transactions, the Issuer will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of GameStop, the Common Stock will cease to be freely traded or listed and will be de-registered under the Act.

Except as set forth in this Statement or as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreements, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the Scheduled Persons has any present plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)

The Supporting Stockholders collectively beneficially own 1,446,634 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, therefore may, by reason of the execution and delivery of the Support Agreements, be deemed to share beneficial ownership over 1,446,634 shares of Common Stock, which would represent 21.4% of the Common Stock, issued and outstanding as of May 25, 2015, as disclosed in the Merger Agreement. Other than for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares, and nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons as to the beneficial ownership of such shares. To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, no shares of Common Stock are beneficially owned by any Scheduled Person.

(b)

The Reporting Persons, by reason of the execution and delivery of the Support Agreements, may be deemed to have shared dispositive power with the Supporting Stockholders with respect to 1,446,634 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 21.4% of the Common Stock, issued and outstanding as of May 25, 2015, as disclosed in the Merger Agreement. Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person or any of its affiliates is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose. The Reporting Persons (i) are not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Issuer as to the Subject Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Support Agreements, and (ii) have no power to vote, direct the voting of, dispose of, or direct the disposal of, any shares of Common Stock other than the power provided pursuant to the Support Agreements.


(c)	Except as described in this Statement (including the schedules to this Statement), during the last sixty (60) days there were no transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons or the Scheduled Persons.


(d)	Except as set forth in this Item 5 and for persons referred to in Items 2 and 4 above, no person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.


(e)	Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings, or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Act, the Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein, with respect to the joint filing of this Statement and any amendments thereto. The information set forth, or incorporated by reference, in Item 3 through 5 of this Statement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.
