ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On September 23, 2010, SCB Building, LLC (“Seller”), an affiliate of Tigrent Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a loan purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sentinel Capital Partners, LLC (“Purchaser”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Seller agreed to sell to Purchaser a secured promissory note, dated November 1, 2005 and amended on January 4, 2006, in the original principal amount of $10,950,000, issued to Seller by 250 North Orange Avenue, LLC ( “Borrower”) in connection with the sale of an office building to Borrower in November 2005 (the “Note”).  In addition to the Note, Seller has agreed to assign certain other rights and obligations related to the Note, including a mortgage and security agreement dated November 2, 2005 and an intercreditor agreement dated November 13, 2006 (collectively with the Note, the “Loan”). The outstanding principal balance of the Note as of October 7, 2010, the anticipated closing date of the transaction, will be approximately $6.9 million.

In consideration for the sale of the Loan, Purchaser shall pay to Seller $1.5 million, payable in cash, $150,000 of which was paid upon execution of the Agreement (the “Deposit”).  In addition, Purchaser agrees to satisfy in full certain notes, with an original aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000, issued in connection with the Company’s purchase of the outstanding equity interests in Seller that were acquired in March 2006 (the “SCB Notes”).  The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the SCB Notes as of October 7, 2010, the anticipated closing date of the transaction, will be approximately $2.8 million.

The purchase will be subject to certain terms and conditions, including the completion to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction of a due diligence investigation related to the Loan, Seller’s payment of $80,000 that remains outstanding to the holders of the SCB Notes, and the receipt of customary consents and authorizations. The Deposit is being held in escrow and is refundable to Purchaser if a notice of termination is delivered to Seller during the seven (7) day due diligence investigation period.  After the due diligence investigation period, the Deposit is non-refundable unless the transaction does not close due to a default of Seller or the failure to satisfy all of the conditions to closing. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, restrictions and covenants.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
