Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 31, 2014, Thomas J. Axon, the Chairman and President of Franklin Credit Management Corporation (“FCRM”) and the Managing Member of Bosco Credit, LLC (“Bosco I”), made, on behalf of Bosco I, a one-time payment of $2 million against unpaid deferred servicing fees (none of the deferred servicing fees have been accrued) due to FCRM pursuant to a servicing agreement dated May 28, 2008, as amended, between FCRM and Bosco I. As a result of this payment, FCRM will make various accrued payments outstanding to its vendors, and anticipates that, for the time being, it has regained compliance with all state minimum regulatory adjusted net worth requirements as of December 31, 2014.

There can be no assurance that administrative action will not be taken against FCRM, which could include denial, revocation or suspension of a license or authority, an order to cease and desist servicing loans in certain states, requirement for the filing or revision of a corrective action plan or entry into a consent order, or assessment of fines, or any combination of the above, because of previous non-compliance, temporary or otherwise, with minimum net worth requirements, in which case FCRM’s business would be adversely affected. Should FCRM continue to experience operating losses, FCRM may again become noncompliant with the requirements to maintain certain licenses in a number of states.

Item 1.01 Modification of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 12, 2015, Paul D. Colasono, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of FCRM, in connection with his employment agreement with FCRM effective as of March 28, 2005, as amended, agreed to a $35 thousand reduction in his base annual salary, effective January 1, 2015. Several other senior officers of FCRM, none of whom have employment agreements, similarly accepted salary reductions.
