On January 16, 2013, MusclePharm Corporation (the “Registrant”) entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with GVC Capital LLC (the “Placement Agent”) pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to use its best efforts to arrange for the sale of up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). The Placement Agent has no commitment to purchase or sell any of the Preferred Shares. The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Registrant and the Placement Agent.
