Aspen Group scraps $3M equity distribution deal, provides update on restructuring

Aspen Group (NASDAQ:ASPU) said Tuesday it canceled a $3M equity distribution deal with Northland Securities as it does not require the financing due to its ongoing restructuring, which is expected to result in over $14M savings through FY23-end. "... we implemented a restructuring plan to address working capital requirements, reduce cash burn and achieve operational goals over the next 12 months," said ASPU CEO Michael Mathews. "We are encouraged by the results we are achieving thus far and concluded that financing with the equity distribution agreement is not needed at this time," he added. The restructuring plan is expected to result in cost cuts of $4.4M in Q2 2023 and $4.9M in Q3 and Q4 2023. As part of the plan, ASPU reeled in marketing ad spend to a maintenance level of $150K per quarter. This is expected to result in $3.6M savings in Q2 2023 and $3.8M in each of Q3 and Q4 2023. ASPU also eliminated ~70 positions mostly within G&A functions. This is expected to translate into $750K additional savings in Q2 2023 and $1.1M in each of Q3 and Q4 2023.
