Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on August 10, 2022, Atlanticus Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Sales Agent”) providing for the sale by the Company of up to an aggregate offering price of $100,000,000 of the Company’s (i) 7.625% Series B Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, no par value per share and liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), and (ii) 6.125% Senior Notes Due 2026 (the “Notes”), from time to time through the Sales Agent, in connection with the Company’s Preferred Stock and Notes “at the market” offering program.
On January 30, 2024, the Company entered into a second supplemental indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) to its indenture dated as of November 22, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”; as previously supplemented and as further supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (successor to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Indenture establishes the form, and provides for the issuance from time to time, if any, of the Notes. The Indenture also contains customary events of default and cure provisions.
The Notes, if any, will be general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and will rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The Notes, if any, will be effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and the Notes, if any, will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries (excluding any amounts owed by such subsidiaries to the Company). The Notes, if any, will bear interest at the rate of 6.125% per annum. Any interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year. The Notes, if any, will mature on November 30, 2026.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Second Supplemental Indenture and the Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
