At the beginning of October, SFX Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFXE) announced that its
special committee of independent directors, with the concurrence of Robert F.X. Sillerman
("Sillerman"), the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has set an initial bid
deadline ofOctober 14, 2015 for third-parties to submit their proposals to acquire the
entire Company or assets not central to the Company's core business. The committee's
decision results in a two week extension to the initial target bid date of October 2, 2015
in an attempt to give all parties sufficient time to complete their due diligence review
following events occurring in September 2015, including the closing of the Company's
financing transactions on September 17, 2015 and the conclusion of the Fall festival
season. The committee will finalize the bidding process as expediently as possible. 
Pursuant to a voting agreement between Sillerman and his affiliates and the Company,
Sillerman has agreed to vote all shares beneficially owned by him in favor of a
transaction involving the sale of the Company that is recommended by the special
committee. Such voting agreement terminates on December 31, 2015, provided that if the
Company enters into a definitive agreement prior to such date, subject to terms and
conditions as set forth in the voting agreement, Sillerman will vote in favor of the
recommended transaction following the execution of such definitive agreement. A copy of
the voting agreement and a summary thereof are provided in the Company's Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 22, 2015.
