EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Aspen Group, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is filing this post-effective amendment (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to amend the following registration statements (the “Registration Statements”) and deregister any and all securities registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under each such Registration Statement as of the date hereof: (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-215075), which was filed on December 13, 2016 and amended on November 21, 2018, relating to shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), that were issuable under the Registrant’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) and (ii) the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-248932), which was filed on September 21, 2020, relating to shares of Common Stock that were issuable under the 2012 Plan and the Registrant’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan,” and together with the 2012 Plan, collectively, the “Plans”). The Registrant and the individuals identified in the Registration Statements as “Selling Stockholders” are no longer offering the Registrant’s securities covered by the Registration Statements, and such offerings are therefore terminated.

 

This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed in order to deregister any securities registered that remain unsold or otherwise unissued that were registered on the Registration Statements, and to terminate the Registration Statements as to such securities. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in each Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all of the securities registered under the Registration Statements which remain unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statements as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
