Item 1.01    Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 28, 2022, LMFAO Sponsor, LLC ("
Sponsor
"), a majority owned subsidiary of LM Funding America, Inc., and LMF Acquisition Opportunities, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("
LMAO
"), amended and restated the existing Promissory Note, dated February 1, 2022, issued by LMAO to Sponsor (the "
Original Note
"), to increase the aggregate principal amount from $500,000 to $1,750,000 thereunder (the "
Amended Note
").  The proceeds of the Amended Note, which may be drawn down from time to time until LMAO consummates its initial business combination, will be used to fund expenses relating to LMAO's initial business combination.  The Amended Note bears no interest and is payable in full on the date that LMAO consummates its initial business combination with one or more businesses.  No amount shall be due under the Amended Note if an initial business combination is not consummated on or before the 24th anniversary of LMAO's initial public offering.
A copy of the Amended Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.  The disclosures set forth in this Item 1.01 are intended to be summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amended Note.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 29, 2022, LMAO issued a press release announcing that its board of directors elected to extend the date by which LMAO has to consummate a business combination from July 29, 2022 to October 29, 2022 (the "
Extension
"), as permitted under LMAO's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In connection with the Extension, Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $1,035,000 (representing $0.10 per public share of LMAO) into LMAO's trust account on July 29, 2022.  This deposit was made in respect of a non-interest bearing loan to LMAO (the "
Extension Loan
").  If LMAO completes an initial business combination by October 29, 2022, LMAO will, at the option of Sponsor, (i) repay the Extension Loan out of the proceeds of LMAO's trust account released to LMAO, or (ii) convert a portion or all of the Extension Loan into warrants of LMAO at a price of $1.00 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issues to the Sponsor at the time of the IPO.  If LMAO does not complete its initial business combination by October 29, 2022, LMAO will only repay the Extension Loan from funds held outside of its trust account.
