ASX Announcement |9 September 2025
OpenLearning Converts ECA Debt to Equity
Sydney, Australia, 9 September 2025: OpenLearning Limited, the AI powered Learning Management System (‘OpenLearning’ or ‘the Company’) (ASX: OLL) is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement to extinguish outstanding debt and convert circa $1.0m of the remaining debt to equity with its largest shareholder Education Centre of Australia (‘ECA’).
The outstanding circa $1.0m debt will convert to approximately 55,514,367 shares at a price of 1.8c which represents a 25% premium to the 30-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) on the ASX as at 8 September 2025. This will fully extinguish the Company’s outstanding debt obligations to ECA under the agreement.
Rupesh Singh, Managing Director of ECA and Director of OpenLearning, said:
"I remain firmly committed to OpenLearning's technological innovation and long-term vision. The Company has demonstrated significant progress this year by growing its SaaS LMS revenue, while simultaneously reducing costs and moving closer to break even. These achievements, combined with the vast potential in the global EdTech sector, give me strong confidence in the company's future and its value to all stakeholders."
OpenLearning Managing Director, Adam Brimo, added:
"We are pleased to reaffirm our longstanding partnership with ECA. Their decision to convert debt into equity at a 25% premium above market price underscores their trust in our long-term strategy of OpenLearning and their belief in the growth prospects of the business in the Edtech sector."
The Company has been informed that this agreement is conditional on shareholder approval under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, which will be put to a forthcoming shareholder meeting.
ECA is a company associated with OpenLearning Non-executive Director Mr Rupesh Singh. ECA currently holds 50.72% of the voting power in OpenLearning.
The Board of OpenLearning will form a subcommittee, which will exclude Mr Singh, for the purposes of engaging an independent expert and preparing the requisite notice of meeting.

-
Following the conversion of the $1.0 million debt to equity, and the 121,943,311 shares to be issued in relation to the $2.12 million debt to equity conversion announced to Market on 8 May 2025 under the same Loan Agreement, both of which are subject to shareholder approval, ECA will hold 63.97% of ordinary shares in OpenLearning.
