     On June 1, 2009, PlanetOut Inc. (the “Company” or “PlanetOut”), Stephen P. Jarchow, Paul A. Colichman and Here Management LLC (collectively referred to as the “HMI Owners”), Here Networks LLC and Regent Entertainment Media Inc. (collectively referred to as the “HMI Entities”), HMI Merger Sub, Inc. and Here Media Inc. entered into the Second Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Second Amendment”) amending the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 8, 2009, as amended on April 27, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on January 14, 2009. The First Amendment to Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2009.
     Section 8.1(b) of the Merger Agreement, as amended, allows either PlanetOut or Here Media Inc. to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) has not occurred on or before May 31, 2009, provided that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to occur on or before that date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of the Merger Agreement. The Second Amendment extends the date in Section 8.1(b) of the Merger Agreement from May 31, 2009 to June 15, 2009.
     The Merger Agreement, as modified by the Second Amendment, remains in full force and effect. The Second Amendment, which is filed as an exhibit to this current report on Form 8-K, is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
