SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fantex, Inc. announced today it has entered into a brand contract with Michael Brockers.

Each Fantex, Inc. tracking stock, including Fantex Series Michael Brockers Convertible 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 stock that currently exists or that Fantex, Inc. will establish and issue in the future.
