  Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Sundance Strategies, Inc. and Subsidiary (“the Company”) is currently focused on the purchase of net insurance benefit contracts (“NIBs”) based on life settlements or life insurance policies. The investment in NIBs is a residual economic beneficial interest in a portfolio of life insurance policies that have been financed by an independent third party via a loan from lenders.  The Company does not take possession or control of the life insurance policies, nor is the associated debt related to the maintenance of these policies an obligation of the Company. The owners of the life insurance policies acquire such policies at a discount to their face value and finance the ongoing life insurance premiums through third-party loans. The policies are used as collateral on the loans. The owners had available credit to pay forecasted premiums and expenses on a portion of the policies until April 15, 2018, which was the renewal date of the loans on these life insurance policies. The loan balances, including accrued interest, outstanding at May 25, 2018, on the loans subject to the April 15, 2018, deadline approximated $105 million. The death benefit on the life insurance policies used as collateral on these loans approximated $306 million. The owners have worked with the lender to extend the loans multiple times and now, after the last loan extension expired, the parties have entered into an agreement to allow for more time to find a long-term solution.

 

On June 5, 2018, the policy owners, the Company and Kraig Higginson (chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company) entered into a Strict Foreclosure and Forbearance Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the lender on the loans to the above-mentioned policies. The Agreement has an effective date of May 25, 2018. The Company is a party to the Agreement as the NIBs are collateral on the loans. In the Agreement, the lender grants the parties until July 27, 2018, to pay the loans in full, including related termination fees (which termination fees include 20 percent of any proceeds due to the Company as a result of its ownership in the NIBs). If the loans and related termination fees have not been paid by that date the lender will take unfettered possession of the policies and underlying NIBs as part of the Agreement.

 

The owners and other parties to the Agreement are diligently working to secure alternative funding prior to the July 27, 2018, deadline; and are optimistic such funding will become available prior to the deadline, although no such positive outcome can be assured. The Company’s carrying value of investment in NIBs relating to the above-mentioned life insurance policies totaled approximately $29 million at March 31, 2017, which amount will be reduced to zero if alternative funding acceptable to all parties is not made available. Any impairment of investment in NIBs will also reduce to zero any expected future cash flows associated with the impaired investment in NIBs.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to the Company’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risk that alternative funding will not be obtained, and that as a result the lender will take possession of the NIBs, as well as other factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive. The Company does not intend, or undertake any obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

B.                   TW Life II S.à.r.l., a Société à Responsabilité Limitée established under the laws of Luxembourg (“ Borrower II ”), Sundance and Knight MPIC Ventures II, LLC, a California limited liability company (“ Knight II ”) have entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2017 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, “ Loan Agreement II ”).

C.                   Baltic Ventures S.à.r.l., a Société à Responsabilité Limitée established under the laws of Luxembourg (“ Borrower III ” and together with Borrower I and Borrower II, collectively, the “ Borrowers ”), Sundance and Knight MPIC Ventures III, LLC, a California limited liability company (“ Knight III ” and together with Knight I and Knight II, each a “ Lender Party ” and, collectively, the “ Lender Parties ”) have entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2017 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, “ Loan Agreement III ” and, together with Loan Agreement I and Loan Agreement II, each a “ Loan Agreement ” and, collectively, the “ Loan Agreements ”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreements or the Securities Account Control Agreement (as defined below).

D.                  The Borrowers, the other Obligors and the Lender Parties are party to the Transaction Documents, as such term is defined in each Loan Agreement (as such documents are amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “ Transaction Documents ”).

H.                  The Lender Parties are willing to forbear from exercising certain of their respective rights and remedies against the Obligors now existing as a result of the Existing Defaults, until the Forbearance Termination Date (as defined below), solely upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

I.                     In consideration of the foregoing, and the other good and valuable consideration set forth below, the Lender Parties have agreed to restructure the Loans, subject to the terms, conditions, warranties, and covenants set forth below:
