ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE ARRANGEMENT.

 

On October 7, 2010, Tigrent Inc. (the “Company”) agreed to a further forbearance (the “Additional Forbearance”) with M. Barry Strudwick, Susan Weiss and certain other parties with respect to the previously disclosed settlement memorandum (“Settlement Memorandum”) providing for settlement and release of certain claims with respect to its previously disclosed litigation relating to Monterey del Mar, S.A., a Panamanian company and other matters.

 

Under the terms of the Settlement Memorandum, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Strudwick and Ms. Weiss a total of $3.8 million, $1.2 million of which was paid in 2009. The Company issued two promissory notes for the remaining $2.6 million, one in the amount of $2.3 million (the “First Note”) and the other in the amount of $300,000 (the “Second Note” and, together with the First Note, the “Notes”). The Company has missed payments of approximately $220,337 and $5,983 with respect to the First Note and Second Note, respectively, that were due on July 15, 2010.  The Company and the holders of the Notes entered into a previously disclosed forbearance on July 30, 2010, which forbearance expired on August 13, 2010.  Since the expiration of the Company’s last forbearance, the Company and the holders of the Notes have continued to consider and discuss plans regarding continued forbearance, future payments and transfer of collateral.

 

Under the terms of the Additional Forbearance, the holders of the Notes agreed to forbear from enforcing their rights and remedies under the Notes and the Settlement Memorandum for a period ending February 15, 2011. In consideration for the Additional Forbearance, the Company has agreed to execute a quitclaim deed transferring Tranquility Bay, undeveloped real  property located in Lee County, Florida (the “Deed”), to the holders of the Notes.  Upon recording of the Deed, $300,000 will be credited toward the amounts due and coming due under the Notes.
