1Each Fantex, Inc. tracking stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of a specific brand contract that Fantex, Inc. has signed with an athlete. However, holders of shares of a Fantex, Inc. tracking stock will have no direct investment in that brand contract, associated brand or athlete. Rather, an investment in a tracking stock will represent an ownership interest in Fantex, Inc. as a whole, which will expose holders to additional risks associated with any individual tracking series that Fantex, Inc. establishes and issues in the future. Each Fantex, Inc. tracking stock is only offered through Fantex Brokerage Services. Fantex Brokerage Services cannot assure you as to the development or liquidity of any trading market for these stocks.
