Item 8.01. Other Events.
On August 18, 2026, the registrant announced the closing of a $80 million securitization of residual interests from previously issued securitizations. The notes are secured by residual interests in four Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (“CPS”) securitizations issued between April 2022 and April 2023 (the “Pledged Residual Interests”), as well as an 80% interest in a CPS majority owned affiliate (“MOA”) that owns the residual interests in three CPS securitizations issued between July 2023 and April 2026. The coupon on the notes is 10.25%.
The MOA interest includes 80% of the amounts on deposit in the underlying spread accounts for each related securitization and 80% of the over-collateralization of each related securitization, which is the difference between the outstanding principal balance of the related receivables less the outstanding principal balance of the notes associated with the securitization. The Pledged Residual Interests include 100% of the amounts on deposit in the underlying spread accounts for each related securitization and 100% of the over-collateralization of each related securitization. On each monthly payment date, the notes will be paid interest at the coupon rate and, if necessary, a principal payment necessary to maintain a specified minimum collateral ratio.
CPS disclaims any implication that the agreements described in this report are other than agreements entered into in the ordinary course of CPS's business.
