On October 29, 2005, Homestore, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an
Amendment to Distribution Agreement (the "Amendment"), effective as of October
29, 2005, with America Online, Inc. ("AOL"). The Amendment amends the
Distribution Agreement dated June 30, 2004, between AOL and the Company (the
"Distribution Agreement") which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 4, 2004. Pursuant to the
Distribution Agreement, the Company is the exclusive provider of national
property listings across AOL, Netscape and CompuServe and the Company
distributes moving and home and garden content for a home and real-estate
related channel on AOL and provides AOL's domestic subscribers an online area to
find home-related information, tools and services.
The Amendment extends the term of the Distribution Agreement, which would
have expired on December 31, 2005, until September 30, 2007, and amends certain
confidential performance and payment terms of the Distribution Agreement. The
Amendment will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's quarterly report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, with portions omitted and filed
separately with the SEC pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
On November 1, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing that it
had entered into the Amendment. A copy of such press release is attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
