(10) Subsequent Events

On April 23, 2024 we executed our second securitization of 2024. In the transaction, qualified institutional buyers purchased $319.9 million of asset-backed notes secured by $337.2 million in automobile receivables originated by CPS. The sold notes, issued by CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2024-B, consist of five classes. Ratings of the notes were provided by Standard & Poor’s and DBRS Morningstar, and were based on the structure of the transaction, the historical performance of similar receivables and CPS’s experience as a servicer. The weighted average yield on the notes is approximately 6.69%.

The 2024-B transaction has initial credit enhancement consisting of a cash deposit equal to 1.00% of the original receivable pool balance and overcollateralization of 5.15%. The transaction agreements require accelerated payment of principal on the notes to reach overcollateralization of the lesser of 8.40% of the original receivable pool balance, or 23.15% of the then outstanding pool balance. The transaction was a private offering of securities, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities law.

On April 10, 2024, our Compensation Committee evaluated and determined the non-equity incentive plan payment amounts earned under the Executive Management Bonus Plan for each of our executive officers for fiscal year ended December 2023. The Company thereafter paid those amounts in April 2024, including $3,005,000 for Charles E. Bradley, Jr., $582,063 for Michael T. Lavin, $385,655 for Danny Bharwani, $413,406 for Teri L. Robinson, and $367,472 for Laurie A. Straten.
