Section 1 Registrant’s Business Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On March 30, 2006 HyperFeed Technologies, Inc (“HyperFeed”) issued a Secured Convertible Promissory Note to PICO Holdings, Inc. (“PICO”) in the amount of $10,000,000 at an interest rate of the prime rate plus 2.75% per annum compounded monthly. HyperFeed had previously borrowed $4,160,000 from PICO in a Promissory Note dated March 15, 2006. The principal and accrued and unpaid interest under said March 15, 2006 Promissory Note is included in the March 30, 2006 Secured Convertible Promissory Note, and the March 15, 2006 Promissory Note has been cancelled.
     The March 30, 2006 Secured Convertible Promissory Note may be drawn upon from time to time by HyperFeed. PICO has the right at any time to convert the outstanding principal and the accrued and unpaid interest into common stock of HyperFeed at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 80% of the five-day moving average price per share on the date of PICO’s election to convert or 80% of $1.05. The principal and accrued and unpaid interest are payable to PICO on the date prior to the second anniversary of the March 30, 2006 Secured Convertible Promissory Note.
     The Warrant accompanying the March 30, 2006 Secured Promissory Note gives PICO the right for three years to purchase 125,000 common shares of HyperFeed at a price of $1.05 per share.
     PICO owns 80.1% of HyperFeed’s common stock.
