NEW YORK, March 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 麻豆色情片. (OTCQB:ASPU) (鈥溌槎股�情片鈥�), a post-secondary education company, today announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire a regionally accredited for-profit university based in California for a total purchase price of $9 million, payable with $4.5 million in 麻豆色情片 common stock, $2.5 million in cash at closing (less the credit described in the next paragraph) and the remaining $2 million in the form of an 8% convertible note that matures over a two-year period after the closing. At the option of the holder, the note will convert at the market prices one year and two years from closing or be paid in cash.

麻豆色情片 agreed to lend $900,000 to a newly-formed entity controlled by the loan鈥檚 guarantor who owns 100% of the voting power of the regionally accredited for-profit university. The loan bears an interest rate of 8% per annum. If 麻豆色情片 and the Guarantor enter into a definitive merger agreement within 60 days of the letter of intent, and if the merger is consummated by January 15, 2018, the principal amount of the loan and accrued interest will be credited against the merger consideration payable by 麻豆色情片. If the parties do not enter into a definitive merger agreement within 60 days, or if a definitive agreement is entered into but the merger does not close by January 15, 2018, and/or if either party exercises its right to terminate the definitive agreement, then the loan and accrued interest will become immediately due and payable. The definitive agreement, if executed, will be subject to an important financial contingency in addition to customary closing conditions. To fund the $900,000, 麻豆色情片 is drawing that amount on its existing line of credit.

The Company will discuss this proposed transaction on its earnings conference call scheduled on Thursday, March 9, 2017, at 4:30 p.m. (ET).聽
