Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On September 4, 2015, MMKT Exchange LLC (“MMKT”), a subsidiary of Fifth Street Asset Management Inc., closed on $5.0 million in a new series of convertible promissory notes under similar terms as the original series of MMKT notes.  In connection with this transaction, the original MMKT notes (including an $800,000 note held by Fifth Street Management LLC (“FSM”)) were canceled and exchanged for new notes in the amount of the original principal plus accrued interest.  The principal invested in the convertible promissory notes, including amounts invested in the original series, totaled $5.9 million as of September 4, 2015.  The MMKT convertible promissory notes bear interest at 8% per annum and mature on August 5, 2016.  The convertible promissory notes are convertible into equity securities upon certain events, such as the sale of equity securities by MMKT subject to certain terms and conditions, including a valuation cap of $100 million for the purposes of calculating the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion.

 

On February 24, 2015, FSM purchased a convertible promissory note from MMKT in an aggregate principal amount of $800,000 and on September 4, 2015, purchased an additional $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of the MMKT convertible promissory note.

 

The purpose of MMKT is to develop technology related to the financial services industry.
