Regional Management Corp. Announces Closing of $150.0 Million Asset-Backed Securitization

June 28, 2018

GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 28, 2018-- Regional Management Corp. (NYSE:RM), a diversified consumer finance company, announced today that it has closed its first securitization backed by large loan receivables. The senior class of the securitization received an “AA” rating from DBRS.

Qualified institutional buyers purchased $150.0 million of asset-backed notes in the transaction, secured by $168.5 million of large loan receivables originated by Regional Management. The sold notes, issued by Regional Management Issuance Trust 2018-1 (“RMIT 2018-1”), consist of three classes. Credit Suisse and Wells Fargo acted as joint lead bookrunners on the transaction.

“We are excited to have successfully completed our first term securitization,” said Peter R. Knitzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Management. “This milestone both increases and diversifies our funding capabilities, positioning Regional for further growth while reducing our overall cost of capital. We remain very well positioned to generate long-term value for our shareholders.”

Ratings of the notes were provided by DBRS and were based on a variety of factors, including the structure of the transaction, the ability of the transaction to withstand stressed cash flow assumptions and repay investors, Regional’s capabilities with regard to originations, underwriting, and servicing, and the credit quality of the collateral and performance of Regional’s consumer loan portfolio.
