Item 8.01     Other Events.

As previously reported by Fund.com Inc. (the “Company”) in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, an arbitration proceeding was commenced on November 7, 2008 (the “Arbitration”) against Mr. Noah Hamman, the Chief Executive Officer of AdvisorShares Investments LLC, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary (“AdvisorShares”), and part owner (“Member”) of Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC (“Arrow”), by Arrow.  The arbitration was commenced pursuant to the provisions of the LLC Operating Agreement of Arrow and brought under the auspices of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution in New York, as required under the LLC Operating Agreement. The arbitration involved the other Members of Arrow who asserted an ownership claim regarding Mr. Hamman's ownership interest in AdvisorShares.  If the other Members of Arrow prevailed on their claims, this would have impacted the amount of ownership Mr. Hamman indirectly holds in AdvisorShares in that Mr. Hamman could have lost his 40% interest in AdvisorShares to Arrow. In addition, if Arrow prevailed, Arrow could have asserted other claims including that the Purchase and Contribution Agreement (to which the Company a party) was inappropriately executed and sought to nullify the obligations associated with such agreement.

On March 1, 2010, Mr. Hamman, Arrow and the Members agreed to settle the Arbitration. In addition, on March 1, 2010, AdvisorShares exchanged general releases with Arrow and the Members pursuant to which Arrow and the Members released AdvisorShares from any claim or contention regarding any right, title, equity, ownership or interest in or to AdvisorShares, its business activities, products or intellectual property.
