education technology holding company, today announced it entered
into third and fourth amendments to its Senior Secured Debentures

prepayment of $500,000 of principal utilizing restricted cash, and

Company issued the holders a new series of preferred stock
convertible into common stock at $0.50 per share. The exchange
eliminated associated interest and principal payment

The debenture amendments and convertible notes exchange
agreement reduce debt service obligations, strengthen the company’s
balance sheet, and provide it with more financial flexibility to
further execute its business operations. For further information,

Michael Mathews, Chairman and CEO of Aspen Group, stated, "We
are pleased to announce the successful execution of amendments to
our private placement with JGB. Reducing our near-term debt service
obligations allows us to maintain a stable cash position while
demonstrating our dedication to servicing our debt. Furthermore,
exchanging our convertible notes for preferred stock significantly
strengthens the equity position on our balance sheet while also
further enhancing cash flow by eliminating related cash interest
and principal payments. We believe these changes demonstrate
financial responsibility and position us to resume growth in Fiscal
2025.”
