Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 21, 2020, on December 14, 2020, LM Funding America, Inc. ("LMFA"), through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Master Loan Receivables Purchase and Assignment Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") under which LMFA agreed to purchase up to $18 million of loan receivables of Borqs Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRQS), a British Virgin Islands company ("Borqs"), from Borqs' senior lenders, Partners for Growth IV, L.P. and Partners for Growth V. L.P. As a part of the transaction, LMFA entered into a Settlement Agreement, dated December 14, 2020 (the "Settlement Agreement"), with Borqs pursuant to which Borqs was obligated to issue shares of Borqs common stock to LMFA (the "Settlement Shares"), in one or more tranches, in settlement of the loan receivables acquired by LMFA under the Purchase Agreement.

In a separate transaction and also as previously disclosed, on December 16, 2020, LMFA and Esousa Holdings, LLC, a private investor (the "Investor") entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") pursuant to which the Investor agreed to provide consulting services and make one or more non-recourse loans to LMFA in a principal amount of up to the purchase price of the Borqs loan receivables purchased by LMFA. The Loan Agreement does not provide a fixed rate of interest, and LMFA and Investor agreed to split the net proceeds from LMFA's sales of the Settlement Shares, with LMFA receiving one-third of the net proceeds after a return of Investor's principal and the Investor receiving return of principal plus two-thirds of the net proceeds thereafter.

On February 16, 2021, LMFA announced that, as of February 11, 2021, it had completed its obligations under the Purchase Agreement by purchasing approximately $18.2 million of aggregate debt (including principal, accrued interest and fees) from Partners for Growth IV, L.P. and Partners for Growth V, L.P. during the period from January 7, 2021 to February 10, 2021, at a discount for approximately $15.5 million. Under the Settlement Agreement, LFMA received approximately 22.7 million shares from Borqs. The Company sold those shares for approximately $32.6 million, of which approximately $5.7 million was received by LMFA after fulfilling its obligations to the Investor under the Loan Agreement.

A copy of the press release, dated February 16, 2021, announcing the completion of obligations under the above contracts is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The information under Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities thereof, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or under the Securities Act of 1933, except to the extent specifically provided in any such filing.
