Item 1.01    Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 1, 2022, LM Funding America, Inc. (the “Company”) consented to the assignment by the law firm of Business Law Group, P.A. to the law firm BLG Association Law, PLLC (“BLG”) of the Services Agreement, dated April 15, 2015, previously entered into by the Company and Business Law Group, P.A. (the “Services Agreement”).  The Services Agreement had set forth the terms under which Business Law Group, P.A. would act as the primary law firm used by the Company and its association clients for the servicing and collection of association accounts.  The assignment of the Services Agreement was necessitated by the death of the principal attorney and owner of Business Law Group, P.A.  In connection with the assignment, BLG agreed to amend the Services Agreement  on February 1, 2022, to reduce the monthly compensation payable to the law firm from $90,000 to $50,000 (the “Amendment”).  Bruce M. Rodgers, the chairman and CEO of the Company, is the owner of BLG, and the assignment and Amendment was approved by the independent directors of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is summary in nature and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
