Senior Revolving Credit Facility: In September 2019, the Company amended and restated its senior revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity of the facility from June 2020 to September 2022 and increase the availability under the facility from $638 million to $640 million. The facility has an accordion provision that allows for the expansion of the facility to $650 million. Excluding the receivables held by the Company’s VIEs, the senior revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s finance receivables and equity interests of the majority of its subsidiaries. Advances on the senior revolving credit facility are capped at 85% of eligible secured finance receivables, 80% of eligible unsecured finance receivables, and 60% of eligible delinquent renewals (85% of eligible secured finance receivables, 80% of eligible unsecured finance receivables, and 60% of eligible delinquent renewals as of September 30, 2021). As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $185.9 million of available liquidity under the facility and held $8.1 million in unrestricted cash. Borrowings under the facility bear interest, payable monthly, at rates equal to one-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, plus a 3.00% margin, increasing to 3.25% when the availability percentage is below 10%. The effective interest rate was 4.07% at September 30, 2021. The amended and restated facility provides for a process to transition from LIBOR to a new benchmark in certain circumstances. The Company pays an unused line fee between 0.375% and 0.65% based upon the average outstanding balance of the facility.

Variable Interest Entity Debt: As part of its overall funding strategy, the Company has transferred certain finance receivables to affiliated VIEs for asset-backed financing transactions, including securitizations. The debt arrangements described below are issued by the Company’s wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote SPEs, which are considered VIEs under GAAP and are consolidated into the financial statements of their primary beneficiary. The Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary because it has (i) power over the significant activities through its role as servicer of the finance receivables under each debt arrangement and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that could be significant through the Company’s interest in the monthly residual cash flows of the SPEs.

These debts are supported by the expected cash flows from the underlying collateralized finance receivables. Collections on these finance receivables are remitted to restricted cash collection accounts, which totaled $77.1 million and $46.6 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Cash inflows from the finance receivables are distributed to the lenders/investors, the service providers, and/or the residual interest that the Company owns in accordance with a monthly contractual priority of payments. The SPEs pay a servicing fee to the Company, which is eliminated in consolidation.

At each sale of receivables from the Company’s affiliates to the SPEs, the Company makes certain representations and warranties about the quality and nature of the collateralized receivables. The debt arrangements require the Company to repurchase the receivables in certain circumstances, including circumstances in which the representations and warranties made by the Company concerning the quality and characteristics of the receivables are inaccurate. Assets transferred to each SPE are legally isolated from the Company and its affiliates, as well as the claims of the Company’s and its affiliates’ creditors. Further, the assets of each SPE are owned by such SPE and are not available to satisfy the debts or other obligations of the Company or any of its affiliates.

RMR II Revolving Warehouse Credit Facility: In April 2021, the Company and its wholly-owned SPE, Regional Management Receivables II, LLC (“RMR II”), amended and restated the credit agreement that provides for a revolving warehouse credit facility to RMR II to, among other things, extend the date at which the facility converts to an amortizing loan and the termination date to March 2023 and March 2024, respectively, decrease the total facility from $125 million to $75 million, increase the cap on facility advances from 80% to 83% of eligible finance receivables, and increase the rate at which borrowings under the facility bear interest, payable monthly, at a blended rate equal to three-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of 0.25%, plus a margin of 2.35% (2.15% prior to the April 2021 amendment). The debt is secured by finance receivables and other related assets that the Company purchased from its affiliates, which the Company then sold and transferred to RMR II. RMR II held $0.3 million in restricted cash reserves as of September 30, 2021 to satisfy provisions of the credit agreement. The effective interest rate was 2.63% at September 30, 2021. RMR II pays an unused commitment fee between 0.35% and 0.85% based upon the average daily utilization of the facility. The RMR II revolving warehouse credit facility provides for a process to transition from LIBOR to a new benchmark in certain circumstances.

RMR IV Revolving Warehouse Credit Facility: In April 2021, the Company and its wholly-owned SPE, Regional Management Receivables IV, LLC (“RMR IV”), entered into a credit agreement that provides for a $125 million revolving warehouse credit facility to RMR IV. The facility converts to an amortizing loan in April 2023 and terminates in April 2024. The debt is secured by finance receivables and other related assets that the Company purchased from its affiliates, which the Company then sold and transferred to RMR IV. Advances on the facility are capped at 81% of eligible finance receivables. RMR IV held $0.3 million in restricted cash reserves as of September 30, 2021 to satisfy provisions of the credit agreement. Borrowings under the facility bear interest, payable monthly, at a blended rate equal to one-month LIBOR, plus a margin of 2.35%. The effective interest rate was 2.46% at September 30, 2021. RMR IV pays an unused commitment fee between 0.35% and 0.70% based upon the average daily utilization of the facility. The RMR IV revolving warehouse credit facility provides for a process to transition from LIBOR to a new benchmark in certain circumstances.

RMR V Revolving Warehouse Credit Facility: In April 2021, the Company and its wholly-owned SPE, Regional Management Receivables V, LLC (“RMR V”), entered into a credit agreement that provides for a $100 million revolving warehouse credit facility to RMR V. The facility converts to an amortizing loan in October 2022 and terminates in October 2023. The debt is secured by finance receivables and other related assets that the Company purchased from its affiliates, which the Company then sold and transferred to RMR V. Advances on the facility are capped at 80% of eligible finance receivables. RMR V held $0.5 million in restricted cash reserves as of September 30, 2021 to satisfy provisions of the credit agreement. Borrowings under the facility bear interest, payable monthly, at a per annum rate, which in the case of a conduit lender is the commercial paper rate, plus a margin of 2.20%. The effective interest rate was 2.38% at September 30, 2021. RMR V pays an unused commitment fee between 0.45% and 0.75% based upon the average daily utilization of the facility.

RMIT 2019-1 Securitization: In October 2019, the Company, its wholly-owned SPE, Regional Management Receivables III (“RMR III”), and the Company’s indirect wholly-owned SPE, Regional Management Issuance Trust 2019-1 (“RMIT 2019-1”), completed a private offering and sale of $130 million of asset-backed notes. The transaction consisted of the issuance of three classes of fixed-rate asset-backed notes by RMIT 2019-1. The asset-backed notes are secured by finance receivables and other related assets that RMR III purchased from the Company, which RMR III then sold and transferred to RMIT 2019-1. The notes have a revolving period ending in October 2021, with a final maturity date in November 2028. RMIT 2019-1 held $1.4 million in restricted cash reserves as of September 30, 2021 to satisfy provisions of the transaction documents. Borrowings under the RMIT 2019-1 securitization bear interest, payable monthly, at an effective interest rate of 3.21% as of September 30, 2021. Prior to maturity in November 2028, the Company may redeem the notes in full, but not in part, at its option on any business day on or after the payment date occurring in November 2021. No payments of principal of the notes will be made during the revolving period.
