Item 3.02.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.


As previously disclosed, Sibling Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Urban Planet Media & Entertainment, Corp. (“Urban Planet”) and its shareholders on January 28, 2015 pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue up to 10,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), and 500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) to the shareholders of Urban Planet in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Urban Planet. On May 12, 2015, the Company completed the share exchange by issuing 10,500,000 shares of its Common Stock and 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock (together with the 10,500,000 shares of Common Stock, the “Exchange Shares”). As a result, and as contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, Urban Planet became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.


Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible by the holder (i) at any time after 24 months after the original issue date or (ii) at any time after delivery of notice by the Company of the occurrence of certain conversion events set forth in the Certificate of Designation establishing the Preferred Stock into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the stated value of such shares of Preferred Stock, which is $10.00 per Preferred Share, by the conversion price. The conversion price of the Preferred Stock is $0.50, subject to adjustment as stated in the Certificate of Designation.


The Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in issuing the Exchange Shares as, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering and the Exchange Shares were acquired for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.
