Item 1.02Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 10, 2017, Aspen Group, Inc. (Aspen) repaid $2,157,534 to
Mr. Leon Cooperman, a 5% shareholder, which is the full amount
owed by Aspen under its now extinguished $3,000,000 revolving
credit line. Additionally, Aspen repaid an aggregate of
$1,373,534 of principal and interest owed under two outstanding
promissory notes held by Mr. Michael Mathews, Aspens Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer. After these repayments,
Aspen has no outstanding debt (other than immaterial purchase
money debt).
Item 3.02Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities.
On April 7, 2017, Aspen raised $7,500,000 from the sale of
2,000,000 shares of common stock at $3.75 per share in a private
placement offering to 11 accredited investors, including a
director who invested $300,000 through an entity which he
controls and two 5% shareholders. The net proceeds to Aspen was
approximately $7.0 million. In connection with the offering,
Aspen agreed to register the shares of common stock.
Aspen used approximately $3.5 million of the net proceeds to
repay all of Aspens outstanding debt as described under Item 1.02
above. Aspen intends to use the balance of the net proceeds to
complete the acquisition of a for-profit university, assuming it
is completed and for working capital. The form of Stock Purchase
Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference.
