Portfolio Services, Inc. (&quot;CPS&quot;) and its wholly owned subsidiary CPS Receivables Five LLC (&quot;Subsidiary&quot;) entered
into a series of agreements under which Subsidiary purchased from CPS, and sold to CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2018-C (the &quot;Trust&quot;),
approximately $168.9 million of subprime automotive receivables (the &quot;Initial Receivables&quot;). Subsidiary also committed
to purchase and to sell to the Trust, and CPS committed to sell to Subsidiary, an additional $71.0 million of similar automotive
receivables (the &quot;Subsequent Receivables&rdquo; and together with the Initial Receivables, the &ldquo;Receivables&quot;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">CPS, Subsidiary, the Trust and others
on July 17, 2018, entered into a series of agreements that, among other things, created long-term obligations that are material
to CPS, Subsidiary and the Trust. Under these agreements (i) CPS sold the Initial Receivables to Subsidiary, and committed to sell
the Subsequent Receivables to Subsidiary not later than August 31, 2018, (ii) Subsidiary sold the Initial Receivables to the Trust,
and committed to sell the Subsequent Receivables to the Trust, (iii) the Trust deposited the Initial Receivables, and committed
to deposit the Subsequent Receivables, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (&quot;Wells Fargo&quot;), as trustee of a grantor trust, receiving
in return a certificate of beneficial interest (&ldquo;CBI&rdquo;) representing beneficial ownership of the Receivables, (iv) the
Trust pledged the CBI to Wells Fargo as indenture trustee for benefit of the holders of the Notes (as defined below), (v) the Trust
issued and sold $230.3 million of asset-backed Notes, in five classes (such Notes collectively, the &quot;Notes&quot;), (vi) a
portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes was pledged to Wells Fargo as trustee for benefit of the holders of the Notes,
to be used to fund the purchase price of the Subsequent Receivables, and (vii) a cash deposit (the &quot;Reserve Account&quot;)
in the amount of 1.00% of the aggregate balance of the Initial Receivables was pledged for the benefit of the holders of the Notes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">Security for the repayment of the Notes
consists of the Initial Receivables and, when and if sold, the Subsequent Receivables, and the rights to payments relating to the
Receivables. The Receivables were purchased by CPS from automobile dealers, and CPS will act as the servicer of the Receivables.
Credit enhancement for the Notes consists of over-collateralization and the Reserve Account. Wells Fargo will act as collateral
agent and trustee on behalf of the secured parties, and is the backup servicer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">The Notes are obligations only of the
Trust, and not of Subsidiary nor of CPS. Nevertheless, the Notes are properly treated as long-term debt obligations of CPS. The
sale and issuance of the Notes, treated as secured financings for accounting and tax purposes, are treated as sales for all other
purposes, including legal and bankruptcy purposes. None of the assets of the Trust or Subsidiary are available to pay other creditors
of CPS or its affiliates.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">Upon completion of the anticipated
August 2018 sale of the Subsequent Receivables to the Trust, the Trust will hold a fixed pool of amortizing assets. The Trust is
obligated to pay principal and interest on the Notes on a monthly basis. Interest is payable at fixed rates on the outstanding
principal balance of each of the five classes of the Notes, and principal is payable by reference to the aggregate principal balance
of the Receivables (adjusted for chargeoffs and prepayments, among other things) and agreed required over-collateralization. The
following table sets forth the interest rates and initial principal amounts of the five classes of Notes:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">If an event of default were to occur
under the agreements, the Trustee would have the right to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, in which event the cash proceeds
of the Receivables that otherwise would be released to Subsidiary would instead be directed entirely toward repayment of the Notes.
Events of default include such events as failure to make required payments on the Notes, breaches of warranties, representations
or covenants under any of the agreements or specified bankruptcy-related events. In addition, if the Receivables (pledged as security
for the Notes) were to experience net loss ratios that are higher than specified levels, the existence of such a &quot;trigger
event&quot; would also require that the cash proceeds of the Receivables that otherwise would be released to Subsidiary would instead
be directed to payment of principal on the Notes, until specified increased levels of overcollateralization were achieved.</P>

principal balance of the Receivables is less than 10% of the intended initial aggregate balance of $239.9 million, CPS will have
the option to purchase the Trust estate at fair market value, provided that such purchase price is sufficient to cause the Notes
to be redeemed and paid in full, and to cause other obligations of the Trust to be met.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>LAS VEGAS, Nevada, July 17, 2018 (GlobeNewswire)</B>
&ndash; Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPSS) (&ldquo;CPS&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) today announced the closing
of its third term securitization in 2018. The transaction is CPS's 29th senior subordinate securitization since the beginning of
2011 and the twelfth consecutive securitization to receive a triple &ldquo;A&rdquo; rating on the senior class of notes from at
least two rating agencies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In the transaction, qualified institutional
buyers purchased $230.3 million of asset-backed notes secured by $239.9 million in automobile receivables originated by CPS. The
sold notes, issued by CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2018-C, consist of five classes. Ratings of the notes were provided by Standard
