Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On February 10, 2010, SCB Building, LLC (“Seller”), an affiliate of Tigrent, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a definitive agreement (“Agreement”) to sell to 250 Block Group, LLC (“Purchaser”) Seller’s note receivable (the “Note”) dated November 1, 2005 issued by 250 North Orange Avenue, LLC (the “Maker”).  The sales price for the Note is $4.9 million.  The outstanding principal balance of the Note as of March 1, 2010, the scheduled closing date, will be approximately $6.88 million.  The Purchaser may extend the closing until April 1, 2010 by providing the Company with written notice no later than March 1, 2010 and the concurrent payment of a non-refundable deposit of $465,000.  The Note is secured by a mortgage on a commercial office building in Orlando, Florida located at 250 N. Orange Ave. (the “Building”).

 

Seller accepted the Note from Maker in 2005 as partial payment of the purchase price for the sale of the Building in 2005. Seller’s obligation to close on the sale of the Note to Purchaser is contingent upon the Seller entering in agreements to purchase for an aggregate price of $2.01 million three promissory notes dated December 29, 2005 that were assumed by an affiliate of Seller in as part of a transaction to acquire all of the outstanding interests in the Seller in 2005.  The aggregate principal balance of the three notes as of April 1, 2010 is $2.82 million.  As a result of the forgoing, the Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $2.89 million on the sale of the Note.

 

The foregoing summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and it subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference
