PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
OF
MMAX MEDIA, INC.
The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the board of directors of MMAX Media, Inc. for use at our special meeting of stockholders to be held on Monday, April 1, 2013 at 9:30 a.m., local time, and at any adjournments thereof. The special meeting will be held at 511 N.E. 3 rd Avenue, 1 st Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301, telephone (800) 991-4534. Voting materials, including this proxy statement and the proxy card, were mailed on or about March 19, 2013 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting.
Following are some commonly asked questions raised by our stockholders and answers to each of those questions.
Q:
What may I vote on at the special meeting?
A:
At the special meeting, stockholders will consider and vote upon the following matters:
•
Proposal 1 – To approve Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation which (a) increases the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 195,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares, (b) eliminates the current class of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock known as “Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock,” and (c) creates a class of preferred stock consisting of 5,000,000 shares, the designations and attributes of which are left for future determination by our board of directors (the " Amended Articles "); and
•
To consider and act upon any other business as may properly come before the special meeting or any adjournments thereof.
Q:
How does the board of directors recommend that I vote on the proposal?
A:
The board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal 1.
Q:
How can I vote my shares at the special meeting?
A:
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Empire Stock Transfer, Inc., you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares and we are sending the proxy materials and proxy card directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to vote in person at the special meeting. If you choose to do so, you can bring the enclosed proxy card or vote at the special meeting using the ballot provided at the meeting. Even if you plan to attend the special meeting in person, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the special meeting in person.
1
Many of our stockholders hold their shares in street name through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. In that case, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you are also invited to attend the special meeting. Because a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the special meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the stockbroker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. You will need to contact your stockbroker, trustee or nominee to obtain a legal proxy, and you will need to bring it to the special meeting in order to vote in person.
Q:
How can I vote my shares without attending the special meeting?
A:
Whether you hold shares directly as a stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct your vote without attending the special meeting by completing, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and returning it promptly in the postage-paid envelope. Please refer to the enclosed materials for details. If you are a stockholder of record and plan to attend the special meeting, you may vote in person at the meeting. We will give you a ballot when you arrive.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you wish to vote in person at the special meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from the organization that holds your shares. If you do not obtain a valid proxy from your bank or broker, you will not be entitled to vote your shares, but you can still attend the special meeting if you bring a recent bank or brokerage statement showing that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on March 13, 2013, the Record Date for voting.
Q:
What happens if additional matters are presented at the special meeting?
A:
Other than Proposal 1, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the special meeting. If you grant a proxy, the person named as proxy holder, Mr. Edward Cespedes, our CEO, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the special meeting.
Q:
What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?
A :
If you hold shares in your name, and you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by our board of directors on the proposal and as the proxy holder may determine in his discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote before the special meeting. If you hold your shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee and you do not provide instructions on how to vote, your stockbroker or other nominee may exercise their discretionary voting power with respect to the proposal.
Q:
What is the quorum requirement for the special meeting?
A :
On the Record Date of March 13, 2013 there were 75,852,636 shares of our common stock outstanding, which is our only class of voting securities. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote at any meeting of our stockholders. A majority of our outstanding common shares as of the Record Date must be present at the special meeting (in person or represented by proxy) in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum, even if you wish to abstain from voting on matters introduced at the special meeting, if you are present and vote in person at the meeting or have properly submitted a proxy card.
2
Q:
How can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?
A:
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the special meeting. You may do this by signing a new proxy card with a later date or by attending the special meeting and voting in person. However, your attendance at the special meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote at the special meeting or specifically request in writing that your prior proxy be revoked.
Q:
Is my vote confidential?
A .
Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within our company or to third parties, except:
•
as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements,
•
to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, and
•
to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.
Any written comments that a stockholder might include on the proxy card will be forwarded to our management.
Q:
Where can I find the voting results of the special meeting?
A :
The preliminary voting results will be announced at the meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the Inspector of Elections for the special meeting and published in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days following the date of the special meeting.
Q:
How can I obtain a separate set of voting materials?
A :
To reduce the expense of delivering duplicate voting materials to our stockholders who may have more than one MMAX stock account, we are delivering only one set of the proxy materials to certain stockholders who share an address, unless otherwise requested. A separate proxy card is included in the voting materials for each of these stockholders. If you share an address with another stockholder and have received only one set of voting materials, you may write or call us to request to receive a separate copy of these materials at no cost to you. Similarly, if you share an address with another stockholder and have received multiple copies of our proxy materials, you may write or call us at the address and phone number below to request delivery of a single copy of these materials. For future special meetings, you may request separate voting materials, or request that we send only one set of voting materials to you if you are receiving multiple copies, by writing or calling us at:

Q:
Who pays for the cost of this proxy solicitation?
A :
We will pay the costs of the solicitation of proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for expenses incurred in forwarding the voting materials to their customers who are beneficial owners and obtaining their voting instructions. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, our board members, officers, and employees may solicit proxies on our behalf, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone.
Q:
What is the voting requirement to approve the proposal?
A :
The proposal to approve the Amended Articles will be approved if the holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares on the Record Date cast votes "FOR" the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares that are present, or represented and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the special meeting. Broker non-votes will not be counted as a vote cast on any matter presented at the special meeting. Abstentions will not be counted in determining the number of votes cast in connection with any matter presented at the special meeting.
Q:
How can I communicate with MMAX’s board of directors?
A:
The board of directors encourages stockholders who are interested in communicating directly with the directors as a group to do so by writing to the directors in care of our corporate secretary. Stockholders can send communications by mail to:
MMAX Media, Inc.
Attention: Corporate Secretary
511 N.E. 3rd Avenue, 1st Floor

Directors may at any time review a log of all correspondence received by us that is addressed to the members of the board of directors and request copies of any such correspondence.

At March 13, 2013 there were 75,852,636 shares of our common stock outstanding, which is our only outstanding class of voting security. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote. The following table contains information regarding record ownership of our common stock as of March 13, 2013 held by:
•
persons who own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock,
•
our directors,
•
named executive officers, and
•
all of our directors and officers as a group.
A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by such a person within 60 days from March 13, 2013, upon exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities. Each beneficial owner's percentage ownership is determined by assuming that options, warrants and convertible securities that are held by such a person (but not those held by any other person) and are exercisable within 60 days from that date have been exercised. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each of the listed beneficial owners identified is 511 N.E. 3rd Avenue, 1st Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.

The address of Celentano Consulting Company, LLC is 7000 West Palmetto Park Road, Suite 201, Boca Raton, FL 33433. Voting control of Celentano Consulting Company is held by Vincent L. Celentano.
Authorized capital
We are currently authorized to issue 195,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, which have been designated as Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock. At March 13, 2013 we had 75,852,636 shares of common stock and no shares of Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Following are the material terms of our capital stock.
5
Common stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. There is no right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. The holders of common stock are entitled to any dividends that may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for payment of dividends subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred stock and any contractual restrictions we have against the payment of dividends on common stock. In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and have no right to convert their common stock into any other securities.
Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock
Our preferred stock was initially issuable in one or more series with such designations, voting powers, if any, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as were determined by resolution of our board of directors. In April 2008 we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation designating all 5,000,000 shares of our preferred stock as Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock. This amendment provided that we have the right to call for and purchase these preferred shares at any time, or if we should designate that these shares are deemed not callable, the holders of these preferred shares will have the right to cause our company to redeem shares for shares of common stock at any time. In addition, each holder of the Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock had the right to convert all or any portion of such shares into shares of our common stock on the basis of 10 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock so converted.
MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE SPECIAL MEETING
PROPOSAL 1
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED ARTICLES
On February 12, 2013 our board of directors approved the Amended Articles and recommended that our stockholders approve the Amended Articles at the special meeting. The Amended Articles:
•
increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock to from 195,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares; and
•
eliminate the current class of 5,000,000 shares of Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock; and creates a class of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock which are issuable in such series, and with such designations, rights and preferences, as our board of directors may determine from time to time in their sole discretion.
Reasons for the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock
As of March 13, 2013, there were 75,852,636 shares of our common stock outstanding. In addition, we have reserved for issuance an aggregate of 90,500,000 shares of our common stock, including 15,400,000 shares underlying outstanding options and warrants with exercise prices ranging from $0.16 per share to $0.26 per share, 33,100,000 shares of the common stock underlying secured convertible notes, and 42,000,000 shares of common stock underlying 7% unsecured convertible notes (subject to certain limitations on conversion), leaving only 28,647,364 shares of authorized, but unissued or unreserved shares of our common stock available for future issuances. We may need to raise additional capital during 2013 and beyond in order to fund our operations and we anticipate that funding will come through the sale of equity securities or securities that are convertible into equity securities. However, we have no specific plans or agreements at this time with respect to any additional financing
6
transactions and no assurances can be given that a financing transaction or transactions will take place or will be available on terms that are favorable to our company. Other than as described in this proxy statement, there are currently no other plans, agreements, arrangements, or understanding, for the issuance of additional shares of common stock.
We own and operate products aimed at the location-based marketing industry. We develop and market products that provide merchants and consumers with mobile marketing services and offers, including mobile coupons, mobile business cards, mobile websites, use of SMS short codes and contest management. We have developed “PayMeOn”, a product designed to offer our customers “social income” potential through the purchase and referral of “coupon-style” deals through our mobile and web interfaces. Our Hyperlocal Platform supports multiple text messaging services such as WAP, MMS and XHTML, runs on a commercial-grade mobile marketing platform used by the National Football League, Major League Baseball and others and operates with all major mobile carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. The fully-integrated interface allows for web-based monitoring of customers and it provides access to real-time statistics for each customer’s account, including incoming and outgoing messages, number of keywords, credits, account status and more. We have recently integrated our PayMeOn offerings with the Hyperlocal Marketing Platform to create the “PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center.” The PayMeOn Merchant Profit Center platform is designed to provide local merchants with a mobile and web based marketing platform that allows merchants to distribute coupons or “daily deals”, capture and retain customers, and earn money from their customers whenever they purchase from the PayMeOn network. The product is sold on both an annual and monthly “package” basis, with different package levels distinguished by different distribution opportunities and volume of text messages available.
As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2013, on February 12, 2013 we entered into an asset purchase agreement with WCIS Media, LLC, a related party, to acquire a web-based technology platform in exchange for 300,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $1,500,000. A copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement. We determined to purchase this asset because we believe that this platform has features and benefits which we will integrate into our PayMeOn Platform, including:
·
lead generation tracking and reporting,
·
merchant categorization and sub categorization,
·
consumer tracking and qualification,
·
merchant bidding capabilities, and
·
offline tracking and service, including live transfer capabilities for consumers.
The closing of the asset purchase agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and we expect this transaction to close following the special meeting, assuming Proposal 1 is approved at the meeting. If Proposal 1 is not approved, we may seek to restructure the terms of asset purchase agreement to still permit us to acquire the asset. From an accounting standpoint, we will treat this transaction as an asset purchase as the transaction does not meet the criteria of a business combination with the guidelines of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 805 – Business Combination . In addition, because we are acquiring this asset from a related party, under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) we will record the asset on our financial statements at its historic cost.
Voting control of WCIS Media, LLC is held by Vincent L. Celentano. Mr. Celentano also holds voting control of Celentano Consulting Company LLC, a related party. Celentano Consulting Company holds a series of secured and unsecured promissory notes convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. Celentano Consulting Company has notified the Company that it intends to convert these notes into shares of the Company’s common stock in conjunction with, and as soon as practicable, following the closing of the asset purchase.
7
We do not presently have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of common stock to permit us to issue the consideration at closing and it is expected that 300,000,000 of the newly authorized shares of common stock which will be available after the special meeting, assuming this Proposal 1 is approved at the meeting, will be issued at the closing of the purchase of this asset. No stockholder approval, however, is required to close the asset purchase or issue the shares of common stock as consideration under that agreement. You are not being asked to vote on any of those matters at the special meeting.
The terms of the additional shares of common stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of common stock. However, because the holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any new issuances of common stock, the authorization and subsequent issuance of additional shares of common stock will reduce the current stockholders' percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of common stock. The Amended Articles will not alter current common stockholder’s relative rights and limitations.
These additional shares may be issued by our board of directors in its sole discretion. The additional shares could be used, among other things, for public or private financings to raise additional capital, for the declaration of stock splits or stock dividends, for acquisitions of other companies, for the expansion of business operations, or for the issuance of stock under warrants granted or to be granted in the future. Any future issuance will have the effect of diluting the percentage of stock ownership and voting rights of the present holders of our common stock.
Reasons for the elimination of the Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock and creation of the new blank check preferred stock.
Our board of directors believes that the creation of the blank check preferred stock is in our best interests as well as that of our stockholders. “Blank check” preferred stock permits our board of directors, in its discretion, to designate one or more series of the preferred stock with the rights, privileges and preferences of each series to be fixed by our board of directors from time to time in the future, without shareholder approval. Prior to the designation of the Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock by our board of director in 2008, our authorized capital included a class of 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. All of these shares were designated by the board as the Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock. Our board of directors believes it to be in our best interests to eliminate the Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock, which has specific rights attached to it, and to replace that class with a class of undesignated preferred shares preferred stock. There are no shares of Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding and our board has no intention of issuing any shares of this class of security.
Our board believes that it is advisable to create blank check preferred stock for issuance in connection with possible future transactions such as corporate mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or future financings and other uses not presently determinable and as may be deemed to be feasible and in our best interests. In addition, the urgencies of possible transactions and/or financings may make it impractical or otherwise inadvisable to seek stockholder approval for the issuance of preferred stock, and our board of directors believes that it is desirable that we have the flexibility to issue preferred stock without further stockholder action, except as otherwise provided by law.
Upon the filing of the Amended Articles, subject to the provisions of the Amended Articles and the limitations prescribed by law, our board of directors would be expressly authorized, at its discretion, to adopt resolutions to issue shares of preferred stock, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including whether the dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and
8
liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the preferred stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the stockholders. Our board of directors would be required to make any determination to issue shares of preferred stock based on its judgment as to our best interests and those of our stockholders. The Amended Articles will give our board of directors flexibility, without further stockholder action, to issue preferred stock on such terms and conditions as they deem to be in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.
Our board of directors believes that the authorization of undesignated preferred shares would also provide us with greater flexibility with respect to our capital structure for such purposes as corporate mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or future financings. Blank check preferred stock is commonly authorized by publicly traded companies and is frequently used as a preferred means of raising capital and making acquisitions. In particular, in recent years, smaller companies have been required to utilize senior classes of securities to raise capital, with the terms of those securities being highly negotiated and tailored to meet the needs of both investors and the issuing companies. Such senior securities typically include liquidation and dividend preferences, protections, conversion privileges and other rights not found in common stock. We presently lack the authority to issue preferred stock other than the Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock which has vary narrow designations which may not be attractive to investors, and, accordingly, are limited to issuing common stock or debt securities to raise capital. By authorizing a class of “blank check” preferred stock, we would increase our flexibility in structuring future transactions.
The material differences between the designations, rights and preferences of the Callable and Convertible Preferred Stock and blank check preferred stock are as follows:

While the Board did not approve the Amended Articles for such event, the Amended Articles could have certain potential anti-takeover effects on our company. In the future, the Board could, subject to its fiduciary duties and applicable law, use the increased number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock to frustrate persons seeking to take over or otherwise gain control of our company by, for example, privately placing shares with purchasers who might side with the Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid. Shares of common stock could also be issued to a holder that would thereafter have sufficient voting power to assure that any proposal to amend or repeal our bylaws or certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation would not receive the requisite vote. Such uses of our securities could render more difficult, or discourage, an attempt to acquire control of our company if such transactions were opposed by the Board.
9
Approval of the creation of the blank check preferred stock could also have material anti-takeover consequences. Our board of directors could designate one or more series of preferred shares with rights and preferences, including super-majority voting rights, and issue the preferred shares, the preferred shares could make our acquisition by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, more difficult, and could also make the removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult. As a result, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect. The ability to issue preferred shares may inhibit changes of control that are not approved by our board of directors. These provisions could limit the price that future investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common shares. This could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company. The issuance of preferred shares could also effectively limit or dilute the voting power of our shareholders. Accordingly, such provisions may discourage or prevent an acquisition or disposition of our business that could otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders.
We are not aware, however, of any party's interest in or efforts to engage in a hostile takeover attempt as of the date of this proxy statement.
Interests of certain persons in matters to be acted upon
WCIS Media, LLC, the entity which is a party to the asset purchase agreement to purchase the web-based technology platform described earlier in this proxy, is controlled by Mr. Vincent L. Celentano. Mr. Celentano is the control person of Celentano Consulting Company, LLC, a principal stockholder of our company.
Manner of effecting the recapitalization amendment; Dissenter’s rights
The text of the Amended Articles is set forth below. If approved at the special meeting, we anticipate that we will file the Amended Articles as soon as practicable after the date of the special meeting. When the Amended Articles are filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada, Article III of our Articles of Incorporation will be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
ARTICLE III
CAPITAL STOCK
The maximum number of shares of stock which this corporation shall be authorized to issue and have outstanding at any one time shall be one billion five million (1,005,000,000) shares, of which one billion (1,000,000,000) shares shall be common stock having a par value of $0.001 per share and five million (5,000,000) shares shall be preferred stock having a par value $0.001 per share.
The Board of Directors of this corporation, by resolution or resolutions, at any time and from time to time, shall have the authority to divide and establish any or all of the unissued shares of preferred stock not then allocated to any series into one or more series and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to fix and determine the designation of each such series, the number of shares which shall constitute such series and the powers, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of each series so established.
The Amended Articles will become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.
10
No governmental or other approval is necessary to adopt the Amended Articles, other than the approval of our stockholders at the special meeting. No dissenter’s rights are afforded our stockholders under Nevada law in connection with the Amended Articles.
Required Vote
Approval of the Amended Articles requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of common stock as of the Record Date.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR"
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED ARTICLES.
ATTENDANCE OF OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We do not expect that representatives of our independent registered public accounting firm will attend the special meeting.
As of the date hereof, there are no other matters that we intend to present, or have reason to believe others will present, at the special meeting. If, however, other matters properly come before the special meeting, the accompanying proxy authorizes the person named as proxy or his substitute to vote on such matters as he determines appropriate.
STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME LAST NAME AND ADDRESS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. We and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they are or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you currently receive multiple proxy statements and would prefer to participate in householding, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to MMAX Media, Inc., 511 N.E. 3rd Avenue, 1st Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.
Proposals of stockholders to be included in our proxy statement for next annual meeting of stockholders must be received by the corporate secretary of MMAX on or before June 30, 2013. The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in our proxy for our 2013 annual meeting.

ITEM 1.01
ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITVE AGREEMENT
On February 12, 2013, MMAX Media, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an asset purchase agreement with WCIS Media, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“WCIS”). Under the asset purchase agreement the Company has agreed to acquire a proprietary web based technology platform (the “Asset”) developed and owned by WCIS. The Asset is designed for: (1) lead generation tracking and reporting; (2) merchant categorization and sub categorization; (3) consumer tracking and qualification; (4) merchant bidding capabilities; and (5) offline tracking and service, including live transfer capabilities for consumers. The Company intends to incorporate the Asset into its current PayMeOn business. Subject to conditions to closing, the Company will acquire the Asset in consideration of 300,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. WCIS is an entity controlled by Vincent Celentano, a principal of WCIS Media, LLC and an affiliated shareholder of the Company. As such, the Company anticipates that for accounting purposes the Asset will be recorded at its historical cost. Furthermore, this transaction did not meet the criteria of a business combination within the guidelines of ASC 805— Business Combinations , and therefore will be accounted for as an asset purchase.
Each party's obligation to consummate the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the Company amending its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock and the Company receiving requisite shareholder approval for such amendment. The agreement may be terminated by either party if there is no closing on or before April 15, 2013.
The asset purchase agreement is incorporated herein by reference and is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K. The description of the transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the exhibits filed herewith and incorporated by this reference.

In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an Indemnified Party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within 30 days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party's costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any settlement negotiations or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party, which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the Indemnified Party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to.
