Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations.

 

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 12, 2016, Axiom Capital Management, Inc. (“Axiom”) terminated the Dealer Management Agreement between Axiom and the VII Peaks Co-Optivist Income BDC II, Inc. (the “Company”) dated September 23, 2013. Under the Dealer Management Agreement, Axiom served as a non-exclusive managing broker dealer in the Company’s continuous offering of common stock, and received a dealer manager fee of 3% of the gross proceeds of sales of common stock in the continuous offering, and selling commissions of 7% of the gross proceeds of sales, subject to volume discounts and certain special circumstances, some or all of which was allotted to Selected Dealers participating in the continuous offering. Axiom’s termination letter did not provide a reason for the termination, but the Company believes it was because a post-effective amendment to the Company’s registration statement for its continuous offering has not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are no financial penalties payable as a result of the termination. The Company is interviewing other firms to act as managing broker dealer in the Company’s continuous offering.
