Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On May 30, 2012, Aspen Group, Inc. (“Aspen”) sold $363,000 of secured convertible notes ("Notes") in a private placement offering to 11 accredited investors. This sale is in addition to the $1,231,000 of Notes that were previously sold and reported. The Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at the lesser of: (i) $1.00 or (ii) 95% of the price of common stock (or common stock equivalents) in the next private placement by the Public Company (the “Conversion Price”) and are due September 30, 2012. Additionally, we issued 90,750 five-year warrants to the investors, exercisable at the Conversion Price. In connection with these sales, we paid Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. a placement agent fee of $36,300 and will issue Laidlaw a number of warrants equal to 10% of the total number of shares issuable to the investors upon conversion of the Notes (which will be based on the Conversion Price). The net proceeds to Aspen were $324,200. All of the Notes and warrants sold have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
