Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 19, 2008, On Demand Group Limited (“ODG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SeaChange International, Inc. (“SeaChange”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) providing for the purchase by ODG of the outstanding capital stock (the “Mobix Shares”) of Mobix Interactive Limited (“Mobix”). Mobix is a London, England based company that provides software and content services related to the deployment of mobile video services for wireless network operators. A copy of the Share Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

At the closing, ODG paid the shareholders of Mobix approximately 2 million (approximately $3 million) in cash for the Mobix Shares, with an additional 1 million (approximately $1.5 million) deposited in escrow to be released on the later of February 19, 2009 and the date certain performance goals have been satisfied, with the amount of the escrow being subject to reduction should there have been a breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Share Purchase Agreement.

In addition, under the earnout provisions in the Share Purchase Agreement, if Mobix meets certain performance goals, primarily related to the financial performance of Mobix, over the period ending November 19, 2011, ODG will be obligated to make additional cash payments aggregating 8.29 million (approximately $12.4 million). The contingent consideration will be reduced or increased based upon Mobix’s actual performance relative to the performance goals. The terms of the transaction are the result of arm’s length negotiation among the parties.
