Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 12, 2023, Aspen Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with an insurance company, the effect of which was to remove the Company’s prohibition from borrowing under $20 million of secured revolving indebtedness (collectively, the “Lines of Credit”). As a result, the Company and certain lenders entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Intercreditor Agreement, which removed a provision which was added by the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) restricting the Company’s ability to draw down from the Lines of Credit while the insurance company’s surety bond remained outstanding. The First Amendment had been entered into at the request of the insurance company which issued an approximately $18.3 million surety bond in favor of the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education, which was subsequently reduced to $5.5 million. No sums have been borrowed under the Lines of Credit as of this date. Currently, the Company does not anticipate making drawdowns on the Lines of Credit.
The foregoing description of the terms of the agreement with the insurance company, the Intercreditor Agreement and amendments thereto, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment and the Intercreditor Agreement, copies which were filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed on April 27, 2022, and Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 10-Q filed on March 15, 2022, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
