“Our six completed IPOs paved the way to unlocking an asset class previously closed to the capital markets,” said Fantex, Inc. CEO and co-founder Buck French. “By bundling multiple tracking stocks into a single, NASDAQ-listed security, we believe Fantex is providing the next evolution for those looking to invest in the business of professional sports.”

Fantex Sports Portfolio 1 Units are linked to cash flows acquired by Fantex, Inc. – including income generated by current and future playing contracts, certain endorsements and appearance fees, as well as potential post-career activities such as broadcasting. Specifically, the Fantex Sports Portfolio 1 Units are linked to the income generated by Michael Brockers, Vernon Davis, Andrew Heaney, Alshon Jeffery, EJ Manuel, Jack Mewhort, Mohamed Sanu, Ryan Shazier, Terrance Williams and Kendall Wright.

The Fantex Sports Portfolio 1 Units will contain the Fantex Series Kendall Wright Tracking Stock and, as such, Fantex, Inc. intends to file an application with the SEC to withdraw its previously filed registration statement for the Fantex Series Kendall Wright offering.
