Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On September 23, 2010, American Learning Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment to Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with John Torrens (the “Former Majority Shareholder”), Kyle Palin Torrens and Carlena Palin Torrens (collectively with the Former Majority Shareholder, the “Prior Owners”). A Settlement Agreement was previously executed on July 16, 2009 to resolve certain disputes that had arisen among the parties regarding various elements of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 12, 2008 pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Interactive Therapy Group Consultants, Inc. (“ITG”) from the Prior Owners. |
This First Amendment modifies the portion of the debt remaining uncollected from the Prior Owners. In settlement of all claims between and among the parties, the Former Majority Shareholder agreed to a modification of his Employment Agreement with ITG and the Company agreed to the forgiveness of $49,342 of the aggregate balance owed by the Prior Owners (the “Employment Modification”). |
The foregoing descriptions of the First Amendment and the Employment Modification are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of the First Amendment and Employment Modification attached to this report as Exhibits 10.20 and 10.21, respectively. |
