Common Stock Dividend
On July 24, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.27 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock related to our second quarter 2017 financial results. The dividend will total approximately $6.8 million and will be paid on August 25, 2017 to shareholders of record on August 11, 2017.

5.25% Senior Notes Due 2025
On July 24, 2017, we issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2025 ("the Notes") to eligible purchasers in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. Interest accrues on the Notes from July 24, 2017 and is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1. The first interest payment is on February 1, 2018. We may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to August 1, 2020 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest. After August 1, 2020, we may redeem some or all of the Notes subject to the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. If we experience specific kinds of changes of control, as described in the Indenture, we must offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.

We paid approximately $5 million in underwriting and other fees in connection with this issuance, which will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower under or that guarantees obligations under the Company’s credit facility or other indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary guarantor. The terms of the Notes, in certain circumstances, may restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, repurchase our common stock, or merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all our assets.

Credit Facility
On August 1, 2017, we amended our existing credit facility to increase the total financing commitment to $2.4 billion. This syndicated credit facility is comprised of 18 financial institutions, including seven manufacturer-affiliated finance companies. Our credit facility provides for up to $1.9 billion in new vehicle inventory floor plan financing, up to $250 million in used vehicle inventory floor plan financing and a maximum of $250 million in revolving financing for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and working capital. This credit facility may be expanded to $2.75 billion total availability, subject to lender approval.
