We are filing this Amendment to amend Part III of the 2016 Form 10-K to include the information required by and not included in Part III of the 2016 Form 10-K because we do not intend to file our definitive proxy statement within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended April 30, 2016.

The 2016 Form 10-K continues to speak as of the date of the 2016 Form 10-K, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the 2016 Form 10-K other than as expressly indicated in this Amendment.

Board Responsibilities

The Board oversees, counsels, and directs management in the long-term interest of 桃汁影院 and its shareholders. The Board’s responsibilities include establishing broad corporate policies and reviewing the overall performance of 桃汁影院. The Board is not, however, involved in the operating details on a day-to-day basis.

Board Committees and Charters

The Board and its committees meet throughout the year and act by written consent from time to time as appropriate. The Board delegates various responsibilities and authority to its Board committees. Committees regularly report on their activities and actions to the Board. The Board currently has and appoints the members of: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. The Audit Committee has a written charter approved by the Board which can be found on our corporate website at http://ir.aspen.edu/governance-documents.

The following table identifies the independent and non-independent current Board and committee members:

Director Independence

With the exception of Messrs. Mathews and Kaplan, our Board determined that all of the directors are independent in accordance with standards under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Our Board determined that as a result of being employed as an executive officer, Mr. Mathews is not independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Additionally, our Board considered the AEK Consulting Agreement, which was terminated in June 2015, in determining that Mr. Kaplan was not independent. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.”

Our Board has also determined that Sanford Rich and C. James Jensen are independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules independence standards for Audit Committee members. Also, our Board has also determined that C. James Jensen, John Scheibelhoffer and Paul Schneier are independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules independence standards for Compensation Committee members.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which currently consists of Sanford Rich and C. James Jensen, reviews 桃汁影院’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and administers our engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of its examinations, the evaluations of our internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board has determined that Mr. Sanford Rich is qualified as an Audit Committee Financial Expert, as that term is defined by the rules of the SEC and in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

3

Compensation Committee

The function of the Committee is to determine the compensation of our executive officers. The Compensation Committee has the power to set performance targets for determining periodic bonuses payable to executive officers and may review and make recommendations with respect to shareholder proposals related to compensation matters. Additionally, the Compensation Committee is responsible for administering the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

Nominating Committee

We do not have a Nominating Committee. Each director participates in the consideration of director nominees. Our Board does not have a policy, or procedures to follow, with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. We have never received any recommendations from shareholders and for that reason have not considered adopting any policy.

Board Diversity

While we do not have a formal policy on diversity, our Board considers diversity to include the skill set, background, reputation, type and length of business experience of our Board members as well as a particular nominee’s contributions to that mix.  Our Board believes that diversity brings a variety of ideas, judgments and considerations that benefit Aspen and its shareholders.  Although there are many other factors, the Board seeks individuals with experience on public company boards or the investment community, experience on operating growing businesses, and experience with online universities.

Board Leadership Structure

We have chosen to combine the Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman positions. We believe that this Board leadership structure is the most appropriate for Aspen. Because we are a small company, it is more efficient to have the leadership of the Board in the same hands as the Chief Executive Officer. The challenges faced by us at this stage – implementing our business and marketing plan and accelerating our growth – are most efficiently dealt with by one person who is familiar with both the operational aspects as well as the strategic aspects of our business.

Board Risk Oversight

Our risk management function is overseen by our Board. Our management keeps its Board apprised of material risks and provides its directors access to all information necessary for them to understand and evaluate how these risks interrelate, how they affect us, and how management addresses those risks. Mr. Michael Mathews, as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, works closely together with the Board once material risks are identified on how to best address such risks. If the identified risk poses an actual or potential conflict with management, our independent directors may conduct the assessment. Presently, the primary risks affecting us are our ability to grow our business with our current cash balance, increase our enrollment and class starts, the dependence on the continued growth of our nursing school and manage our expected growth consistent with regulatory oversight.

Code of Ethics

Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Although not required, the Code of Ethics also applies to our directors. The Code of Ethics provides written standards that we believe are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading, corporate opportunities and whistle-blowing or the prompt reporting of illegal or unethical behavior. We will provide a copy, without charge, to anyone that requests one in writing to 桃汁影院, Inc., 1660 South Albion Road, Suite 525, Denver, CO 80222, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities with the SEC. These individuals are required by the regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of the forms furnished to us, and written representations from reporting persons that no Forms 5s were required to report delinquent filings, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners were complied with during fiscal year 2016.

Communication with our Board of Directors

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with the Board, shareholders may communicate with the Board by writing to us at 桃汁影院, Inc., 1660 South Albion Road, Suite 525, Denver, CO 80222, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Shareholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the Board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.

Risk Assessment Regarding Compensation Policies and Practices as they Relate to Risk Management

Our compensation program for employees does not create incentives for excessive risk taking by our employees or involve risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. Our compensation has the following risk-limiting characteristics:

·

Our base pay programs consist of competitive salary rates that represent a reasonable portion of total compensation and provide a reliable level of income on a regular basis, which decreases incentive on the part of our executives to take unnecessary or imprudent risks;

·

A portion of executive incentive compensation opportunity is tied to long-term incentive compensation that emphasizes sustained performance over time. This reduces any incentive to take risks that might increase short-term compensation at the expense of longer term company results;

·

Awards are not tied to formulas that could focus executives on specific short-term outcomes;

·

Equity awards may be recovered by us should a restatement of earnings occur upon which incentive compensation awards were based, or in the event of other wrongdoing by the recipient; and

·

Equity awards, generally, have multi-year vesting which aligns the long-term interests of our executives with those of our shareholders and, again, discourages the taking of short-term risk at the expense of long-term performance.

In accordance with the Employment Agreement, Mr. Mathews will receive a base salary of $250,000 per year; however, his base salary was $100,000 per year until the Compensation Committee determined that 桃汁影院’s cash position permitted an increase to $250,000 a year.

Cheri St. Arnauld.

Bonuses

For each fiscal year during the term of the Named Executive Officers’ Employment Agreements beginning May 1st and ending April 30th of the applicable fiscal year, the Named Executive Officers shall have the opportunity to earn a bonus up to 30%, 66% or 100% of his or her then base salary (the “Target Bonus”) as follows:

When the Company achieves annual Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in their Employment Agreements) at certain threshold levels (each, an “EBITDA Threshold”), the Named Executive Officers shall receive an automatic cash bonus (the “Automatic Cash Bonus”) equal to a percentage of his then base salary, and shall receive a grant of fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in Plan) equal to a percentage of the Named Executive Officer’s then base salary (the “Automatic Equity Bonus”). In addition, the Named Executive Officers shall be eligible to receive an additional percentage of his then Base Salary as a cash bonus (the “Discretionary Cash Bonus”) and an additional grant of fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to a percentage of the Named Executive Officers’ then base salary (the “Discretionary Equity Bonus”) based on the Board’s determination that the Named Executive Officer has achieved certain annual performance objectives established at the beginning of each fiscal year. There were no performance objectives set for 2016, but there will be objectives set for fiscal year 2017.

The EBITDA Thresholds and corresponding bonus levels are set forth in the table below. For the avoidance of doubt, the Named Executive Officer shall only be eligible to receive the bonuses associated with a single EBITDA Threshold; i.e. in the event the Company attains EBITDA Threshold (2), only the bonuses associated with EBITDA Threshold (2) below (and not the bonuses associated with EBITDA Threshold (1)) shall be applicable.

Provided, however, that the earning of the Automatic Cash Bonus is subject to the Company having at least $2,000,000 in available cash after deducting the Target Bonuses paid to all the Named Executive Officers of the Company or its subsidiaries under the same Target Bonus formula pursuant to such executives’ employment agreements (the “Cash Threshold”) and the Named Executive Officer continuing to provide services under their Employment Agreement on the applicable Target Bonus determination date.  If the Company is unable to pay the Automatic Cash Bonus as a result of not meeting the Cash Threshold, no Automatic Cash Bonus will be earned for that fiscal year.  Provided, however, the Company will issue Mr. Mathews common stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the Automatic Cash Bonus which he is not paid.

Each of the Named Executive Officers are entitled to receive discretionary bonuses under their Employment Agreements at the discretion of the Board.  

Termination Provisions

Under their Employment Agreements, the Named Executive Officers are entitled to severance payments. All of the termination provisions are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, and the Regulations thereunder. In the event of dismissal without cause or resignation for Good Reason, Mr. Mathews will receive six months base salary and immediate vesting of unvested equity, Dr. St. Arnauld will receive three months base salary and Mr. Wendolowski will receive six months base salary. Immediately upon a change of control event, Mr. Mathews will receive 18 months base salary and immediate vesting of unvested equity and Dr. St. Arnauld and Mr. Wendolowski will each receive three months base salary. Change of control is defined in their Employment Agreements as Change of Control is defined under 409A of the Code. Generally, Good Reason is defined as a material diminution in the executives’ authority, duties or responsibilities due to no fault of his own (unless he has agreed to such diminution); or (ii) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by 桃汁影院 under the Employment Agreement; or (iii) generally a relocation of the principal place of employment to a location outside of New York.

Effective May 29, 2014, 桃汁影院 entered into a consulting agreement with AEK Consulting LLC, or AEK, a company controlled by Mr. Andrew Kaplan, a director, pursuant to which AEK acts as a strategic advisor providing educational, business and financial advice services to 桃汁影院. In exchange for its services, AEK was to be paid $120,000, provided that 桃汁影院 achieves certain business objectives. In addition, AEK was issued 800,000 restricted stock units, vesting quarterly over 18 months subject to 桃汁影院’s achievement of certain business objectives and other conditions.  None of the business objectives or conditions were met.  In June 2015, the Company and AEK agreed to terminate the consulting agreement in consideration for the issuance of 300,000 restricted stock units.  The 800,000 restricted stock units were cancelled.

In July 2014, 桃汁影院 issued 1,750,000 shares of common stock to Alpha Capital Anstalt, or Alpha, a then 5% shareholder, in consideration for its waiving certain price protection rights held by it and for providing legal counsel of 桃汁影院 with a proxy to vote Alpha’s shares in favor increasing 桃汁影院’s authorized capital at the fiscal 2015 annual shareholders meeting. Additionally, on July 29, 2014 and September 4, 2014, Sophrosyne Capital LLC, then a 5% shareholder, invested $380,000 and $375,000, respectively, in 桃汁影院’s private placement on terms identical to other investors in the offering.

In September 2014, Leon G. Cooperman, a 5% shareholder of the Company, invested $1,240,000 in a private placement on terms identical to others investors in the offering.  Mr. Cooperman purchased 8,000,000 shares of common stock and 4,000,000 warrants.  The warrants were exercisable at $0.19 per share.  In April 2015, the Company closed on an offering with its outstanding warrant holders whereby it agreed to reduce the exercise price of the outstanding warrants to $0.155 if the warrant holder exercised early.  Mr. Cooperman agreed and exercised 4,000,000 warrants.
