Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
First Amendment to Forbearance Agreement

On March 21, 2014, Cachet Financial Solutions Inc., a Minnesota corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Cachet Financial Solutions, Inc., entered into a First Amendment to Forbearance Agreement with Michaelson Capital Special Finance Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (formerly, Imperium Special Finance Fund, LP), to be effective as of March 7, 2014.

The First Amendment to Forbearance Agreement amends the original Forbearance Agreement that the parties earlier executed as of December 6, 2013. Under the original Forbearance Agreement, Michaelson had agreed to forbear, through March 6, 2014, from pursuing certain remedies under a Loan and Security Agreement entered into by the parties as of October 26, 2012, as amended as of February 19, 2013.

Pursuant to the First Amendment to Forbearance Agreement, Michaelson has agreed to extend through May 12, 2014 the period of time during which it will forbear from pursuing such remedies. In exchange, the subsidiary agreed to pay Michaelson the sum of $250,000 in partial satisfaction of amounts owing under the Loan and Security Agreement, and to cause to be issued to Michaelson shares of Cachet’s common stock, the value of which equals $1,000,000.  The number of shares will be determined in the manner set forth in the First Amendment to Forbearance Agreement.
