Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 18, 2012, Mr. Michael Mathews, the Chief Executive Officer of Aspen Group, Inc. (the "Company") agreed to extend the due dates of both of his $300,000 convertible notes from August 31, 2013 to August 31, 2014.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Aspen raised $320,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of units consisting of shares of common stock and five-year warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share in a private placement offering to six accredited investors (including $17,500 invested by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer). The units sold contained a total of 914,286 shares of common stock and 457,143 warrants. In connection with the offering, Aspen agreed to register the shares of common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. In connection with these sales, Aspen paid broker-dealers fees of $21,350. The sale of units occurred in two closings – the first on December 18, 2012 and the second on December 21, 2012. The terms of this private placement were identical to those of private placements which closed on September 28, 2012 and December 11, 2012 where the Company raised total gross proceeds of $3,107,000. The shares were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 17, 2012, the Board of Directors re-priced the exercise prices of 1,880,000 outstanding options to $0.35 per share including 800,000 options held by Michael Mathews, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and 200,000 options held by David Garrity, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
