Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 22, 2022, Aspen Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with an insurance company which issued an approximately $18.3 million surety bond in favor of the State of Arizona. The surety bond requirement had previously been disclosed by the Company. In order to cause the insurance company to deliver the surety bond, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Intercreditor Agreement (the “Amendment’) with lenders to amend the Intercreditor Agreement entered into by the same parties on March 14, 2022 (the “Amendment”).

The Amendment provides that the Company and each of the lenders, at all times prior to the delivery of the Termination Certificate (as defined below), but for funding as directed by the Surety as described more fully below, (i) the Company shall not be permitted to make any draw request or borrow any funds under the Revolving Promissory Note and Security Agreements (the “Revolver Notes”) and (ii) the lenders shall not be required to fund any loan or advance any funds under the Revolver Notes. Upon that certain surety bond ceasing to be outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the lenders a certificate (such certificate, the “Termination Certificate”), certifying that the surety bond is no longer outstanding and that there are no further obligations in respect of the surety bond owing by the Company to the insurance company. Prior to issuance of the Termination Certificate and during the time the surety bond is in effect, the insurance company may cause the Company to draw on funds for the express purposes of resolving claims filed under the surety bond. In addition to the Revolver Notes draw restriction, the insurance company required the Company to restrict $5 million of cash.

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the Amendment and Intercreditor Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Amendment and Intercreditor Agreement, copies which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and as Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 10-Q filed on March 15, 2022, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

As consideration for the lenders agreeing to enter into the Amendment, the Company agreed to issue each lender 100,000 five-year warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share.
