Strategic Investments	NOTE 6: STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS Cash Converters International Limited As of December 31, 2025, we owned approximately 43.7%, of Cash Converters. We acquired our original investment in November 2009 and have increased our ownership through the acquisition of additional shares periodically since that time. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we acquired an additional 35,780,747 shares for $7.1 million bringing our total shares owned to 309,719,904 shares. This additional investment did not increase our ownership percentage in Cash Converters. We received cash dividends from Cash Converters of $1.8 million and $1.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded our share of income of $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, from Cash Converters, included in “Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 7: Fair Value Measurements for the fair value and carrying value of our investment in Cash Converters.

In fiscal 2024, we contributed an additional $15.0 million associated with our preferred interest, bringing our total preferred equity investment in Founders to $45.0 million. Our preferred equity investment in Founders, a variable interest entity, is accounted for utilizing the measurement alternative within ASC 321, Investments — Equity Securities. As of December 31, 2025, our $45.0 million carrying value of the preferred equity investment and $29.3 million in Demand Promissory Notes (including accrued interest) are included in “Other investments” and “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
