CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT On September 9, 2002, Engage, Inc. completed a transaction with its majority stockholder, CMGI, Inc., pursuant to which CMGI relinquished its control of Engage. Under the terms of the transaction, CMGI canceled approximately $60 million in debt owed by Engage to CMGI and transferred to Engage for retirement approximately 148.4 million shares of common stock of Engage owned by CMGI, representing approximately 76% of the outstanding shares of Engage's common stock prior to the close of the transaction. As consideration for CMGI's cancellation of the debt and the transfer to Engage of CMGI's shares, Engage paid to CMGI an aggregate of $2.5 million in cash at the closing, issued CMGI a warrant to purchase 9.9% of the shares of Engage common stock outstanding at the time of exercise, and has agreed to pay CMGI future payments of $6 million. The $6 million future payments consist of a $2 million non-interest bearing promissory note due in 2006 issued by Engage to CMGI and future earn-out payments of up to $6 million based on Engage's quarterly operating income starting with the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2003. Principal due on the note will be canceled to the extent the earnout payments made by Engage exceed $4 million as of the maturity date of the note in 2006.
