Management LLC (collectively, the HMI Owners), Here Networks LLC and Regent Entertainment Media
Inc. (collectively referred to as the HMI Entities), HMI Merger Sub and Here Media Inc.
previously entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 8, 2009 (the Merger
Agreement). PlanetOut, the HMI Owners, the HMI Entities, HMI Merger Sub and Here Media Inc. later
amended the Merger Agreement by entering into the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated April 27, 2009 (the First Amendment). The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to
the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 14, 2009. The First Amendment is
attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2009.
Section 7.3(e) of the Merger Agreement requires that Here Media and the HMI Entities have, as
a condition to closing the proposed business combination, $5,200,000 in cash less up to $500,000
for costs and expenses incurred by Here Media and the HMI Entities related to the transaction. On
May 13, 2009, PlanetOut agreed that the amount of cash Here Media and the HMI Entities is required
to have as a condition to closing could be reduced further by the amount, not to exceed $1 million,
spent pursuant to a plan reasonably approved by PlanetOut for prints of and advertising expenses
for the film Departures, the 2008 Academy Award
®
in the category of Best Foreign
Language Film, in exchange for the contribution to Here Media at the closing of the proposed
business combination of the United States distribution rights with

certain revenues related thereto (the Agreement).
The Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this current report on Form 8-K,
is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in
its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
