Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Event On April 28, 2016, the Company and Cash America International, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Cash America”), announced the execution of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into among the Company, Cash America and Frontier Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”), a Texas limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of equals. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Cash America will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity and remaining a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon completion of the transaction, the combined company will be named FirstCash, Inc. and will have one of the largest retail pawn store footprints in Latin America and the United States, with over 2,000 locations across four countries. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2016, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the expiration or termination of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period and certain approvals by the stockholders of both the Company and Cash America. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both the Company and Cash America, each holder of Cash America common stock will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.84 shares of the Company’s common stock for each Cash America share they own. Following the close of the transaction, the Company’s stockholders will own approximately 58% of the combined company, and Cash America’s shareholders will own approximately 42%. Pending completion of the transaction, both companies expect to continue paying quarterly cash dividends under each company’s existing dividend policy, and the respective stock repurchase programs of the Company and Cash America will be suspended. See Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for additional information.
