NEW YORK, Sept. 07, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 探花视频app, Inc. (OTCQB:ASPU) (鈥淎spen鈥�), a nationally accredited online, post-secondary education company (Aspen University), today announced that it recently closed on a $3 million credit line with its largest shareholder, Leon Cooperman.

The credit line, whose terms include a 12% per annum interest rate on drawn funds and a 2% per annum interest rate on undrawn funds, will extend through August 2019.聽The Company initially drew down $750,000 under the line, of which $250,000 was used to repay a secured line of credit with a bank. Additionally, the Company paid a 2% origination fee and issued 750,000 common-stock warrants at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, which are redeemable by the Company if the closing price of its common stock averages at least $0.25 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

Michael Mathews, Chairman & CEO of Aspen, commented, 鈥淲e are very pleased to have secured this credit facility with Mr. Cooperman.聽This financing provides the additional growth capital necessary to accelerate the Company鈥檚 long-term business plan.聽Specifically, it will allow us later this fiscal year to expand our enrollment center and double our marketing budget targeted to the Registered Nursing community, among other planned growth initiatives.聽I would like to personally thank Mr. Cooperman for his continued support of Aspen University, and am grateful to have him as a loyal shareholder.鈥�

Mr. Cooperman commented, 鈥淎spen University is performing a great service to the Registered Nursing community, by allowing nurses to earn their advanced degrees debt-free through no-interest, monthly payment plans. I鈥檓 pleased to support businesses such as Aspen that help to advance the quality of healthcare in America, without layering more personal debt onto families across this country.鈥�
