Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Termination of Purchase and Sale Agreement with Casto Net Lease Properties, LLC

 

As previously disclosed by the Company, on April 16, 2020, James E. May, as Successor Trustee of the 1612 E. Cape Coral Parkway Land Trust dated November 7, 2000 (the Seller”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Casto Net Lease Properties, LLC (“Buyer”) for the sale of the real property and improvements located at 1612 E. Cape Coral Parkway, Cape Coral, Florida (the “Property”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The sole beneficiary of the Trust is Legacy Education Alliance Holdings, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Property is currently used as the US headquarters of the Company and various of its subsidiaries.

 

The material terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement included: (i) an initial deposit from the Buyer of $25 thousand into escrow, which deposit shall be non-refundable to the Buyer (except as otherwise provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement) after the expiration of a 45-day due diligence period, which began on the effective date of the Purchase and Sale Agreement; and (ii) Buyer’s right to terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement by delivering written notice to the Seller for any reason or no reason at any time before the expiration of a 45-day due diligence period, in which event the initial deposit would be be returned to the Buyer.

 

On May 8, 2020, the Buyer timely notified the Seller that the Buyer was exercising its right to terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement.  On May 11, 2020, the initial deposit was returned to the Buyer.

 

The Company intends to continue to market the Property for sale, although there can be no assurances regarding when such a sale, if any, might occur, or what proceeds might be realized by the Company upon any such sale.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Reliance on SEC Relief from Filing Requirements

 

The Company is also filing this current report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), issued on March 4, 2020 and as revised on March 25, 2020 pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder (Release No. 34-88465) (the “SEC Order”). The SEC Order provides that a registrant subject to the reporting requirements of Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d), and any person required to make any filings with respect to such registrant, is exempt from any requirement to file or furnish materials with the Commission under Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(f), 13(g), 14(a), 14(c), 14(f), 15(d) and Regulations 13A, Regulation 13D-G (except for those provisions mandating the filing of Schedule 13D or amendments to Schedule 13D), 14A, 14C and 15D, and Exchange Act Rules 13f-1, and 14f-1, as applicable, if certain conditions are satisfied.

 

The Company, relying on the SEC Order, will delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (the “Report”) due to the circumstances related to COVID-19. In particular, due to the government imposed restrictions on travel and stay-at-home orders, COVID-19 has caused business environment disruptions which have affected the Company and limited access to its corporate office in Cape Coral, Florida. These restrictions have, in turn, have slowed the completion of the Company’s internal quarterly review, including evaluating the various impacts of COVID-19 on its financial statements, and to prepare and complete in a timely manner the Report. The Company expects to file the Report on or before June 28, 2020.
