EXPLANATORY NOTE
 

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed by Viggle Inc. (the “Registrant”) for the purpose of registering an additional 2,500,000 shares (the “Additional Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which may be issued as a result of an increase in the number of shares issuable under the Registrant’s Third Amended 2011 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

The Additional Shares are being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in addition to 3,750,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock previously registered by the Registrant with respect to shares issued under the Plan.  Previously, the Registrant registered with the Commission: (a) 187,500 shares of common stock on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-182978) on August 1, 2012, (b) an additional 187,500 shares of common stock on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-186570) on February 11, 2013, and (c) an additional 3,375,000 shares of common stock on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-199423) on October 16, 2014  relating to the Plan (the “Prior Registration Statements”).  The first two of the Prior Registration Statements registered a total of 30,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock.  On March 19, 2014, the Registrant effected a 1-for-80 reverse stock split, such that the 30,000,000 shares of common stock previously registered were combined into 375,000 shares.  On January 8, 2014, the board of directors of the Registrant approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the total number of shares issuable under the Plan to 3,750,000 shares, which was subsequently approved by a majority of the Registrant’s stockholders on January 9, 2014.  The third of the Prior Registration Statements was filed for the purpose of registering those additional 3,375,000 shares of stock issuable under the Plan.

  On April 30, 2015, the board of directors of the Registrant approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the total number of shares issuable under the Plan to 6,250,000 shares, which was subsequently approved by a majority of the Registrant’s stockholders on May 14, 2015.  This Registration Statement is being filed for the purpose of registering those additional 2,500,000 shares of stock issuable under the Plan.

 
Pursuant to General Instruction E on Form S-8, the Prior Registration Statements are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement on Form S-8.

Item 9.   Undertakings.

(1)  
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(a)  
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
(i)  
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii)  
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
 
(iii)  
To include any material information with respect to the Plan not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed or furnished by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
 
(b)  
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c)  
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(d)  
That, for the purpose of determining liability of a Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, each undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of an undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i)  
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of an undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)  
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of an undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by an undersigned Registrant;

(iii)  
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about an undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of an undersigned Registrant; and

(iv)  
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by an undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

(2)  
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)  
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
