Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
As previously disclosed, on January 16, 2018, Dr. David C. Collins and Mrs. Mary C. Collins informed the Board of Directors of the Company that they had engaged Kerlin Capital Group to assist them in connection with a review of their investment in the Company and that the Reporting Persons had reached the determination to seek to reduce their ownership in the Company by selling or otherwise disposing of some or all of their shares in the Company (the “Sale Exploration”).
In recognition of the time, expense and effort that has and/or may be incurred by the Company in connection with the Sale Exploration, on May 10, 2018, Dr. Collins, Mrs. Collins and the Company entered into an Expense Reimbursement Agreement whereby Dr. Collins and Mrs. Collins agreed to reimburse the Company for certain of its legal fees and independent committee meeting fees (“Reimbursed Expenses”) that are incurred by the Company relating to the Sale Exploration. Such Reimbursed Expenses shall exclude (i) any financial advisor fees incurred by the Company and (ii) the Company’s legal fees associated with the negotiation and documentation of any credit facility made available to the Company or direct investment into the Company. Such Reimbursed Expenses shall also be capped at a maximum of (x) $85,000 if no transaction is consummated and (y) $175,000 if the Reporting Persons consummate a share sale transaction. The foregoing description of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Expense Reimbursement Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 99.(B) and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Except to the extent that the foregoing may be deemed to be a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. To the extent deemed advisable in light of their general investment policies, or other factors, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Company or the Common Stock, or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Re:     
Commitment to Reimburse Learning Tree Expenses
Dear Board Members:
In January 2018, we advised the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of our intention to explore the sale of some or all of our shares (the “Sale Exploration”) of Learning Tree International, Inc. (“Learning Tree”) common stock, and that we hired our personal financial advisor, Kerlin Capital, to assist in such efforts. During the January Board meeting, we also expressed our desire to work in a cooperative manner with the Company if any such potential transaction were to materialize.
In recognition of the time, expense and effort that has and/or may be incurred by Learning Tree in connection with the Sale Exploration, we, as shareholders of Learning Tree, agree to reimburse Learning Tree for (1) its legal fees and (2) Independent Committee meeting fees (“Reimbursed Expenses”) that are incurred by the Company relating to the Sale Exploration.  Such Reimbursed Expenses shall exclude (i) any financial advisor fees incurred by Learning Tree and (ii) legal fees associated with the negotiation and documentation of any credit facility made available to the Company or direct investment into the Company. Such Reimbursed Expenses shall also be capped at a maximum of (i) $85,000 if no transaction is consummated and (ii) $175,000 if we consummate a share sale transaction.
To facilitate the payment of the Reimbursed Expenses, the undersigned parties further agree that (1) Learning Tree will provide an invoice addressed to Dr. David C. Collins and Mary C. Collins, reasonably documenting such Reimbursed Expenses and (2) Dr. and Mrs. Collins will pay the full balance of such invoice within fifteen (15) business days of receipt.
If you are in agreement with this letter agreement, please sign and return an original copy to us and we will make sure that the Independent Committee receives the fully executed version of this letter agreement.

 
Sincerely,
   
   
 
Dr. David C. Collins and Mary C. Collins
