FOOTNOTES

 

 

 

 

*

Each share of Common Stock includes a related right (a “Right”) to purchase junior participating preferred stock of the Company. The Rights are not exercisable or transferable apart from the Common Stock at this time, and accordingly no independent value is attributable to such Rights.

 

 

 

 

**

This Registration Statement also relates to such indeterminate number of additional shares (and related Rights) as may be issuable pursuant to stock splits, stock dividends, or similar transactions.

 

 

 

 

***

The proposed maximum offering price per share of Common Stock and the proposed maximum aggregate offering price are calculated solely for the purpose of determining the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 based on a price of $7.81 per share, which is the average of the high ($8.00) and low ($7.61) sales prices of the Common Stock on February 3, 2006 on the Nasdaq National Market.



EXPLANATORY NOTE

This registration statement is being filed solely for the registration of additional shares of Common Stock of The Street.com, Inc. (the “Company”) for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Accordingly, pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the earlier registration statement relating to the Plan (Registration No. 333-90363) is hereby incorporated by reference in this registration statement, except as revised in Part II of this registration statement.
