On December 14, 2011, Best Buy Autos of Bainbridge Inc. (“Best Buy”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Money Tree Inc. (the “Registrant”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Innovate Loan Servicing Corporation (“Innovate”), a third party, whereby Best Buy sold approximately $5.2 million of net vehicle finance receivables to Innovate for a purchase price of approximately $4.4 million. The receivables sold represent approximately 35% of the total net finance receivables held by Best Buy on the date of the sale. The purchase price for the receivables was 85% of the total par value.
Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, Best Buy is obligated to repurchase any of the individual receivables for a period of approximately three months, if the customer: (i) fails to timely make a scheduled payment; (ii) fails to maintain insurance on the financed vehicle; (iii) causes or permits the repossession of the financed vehicle; or (iv) breaches any term of the customer’s financing contract.
