Southfield, Michigan, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Credit Acceptance Corporation (Nasdaq: CACC) (the “Company”, “Credit Acceptance”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) announced today the completion of a $500.0 million asset-backed non-recourse secured financing (the “Financing”).  Pursuant to this transaction, we conveyed loans having a value of approximately $625.2 million to a wholly owned special purpose entity which will transfer the loans to a trust, which will issue three classes of notes:

Note Class			Amount			Average Life			Price				Interest Rate
	A		$	284,610,000			2.58 years			99.97705%				4.50%
	B		$	104,570,000			3.33 years			99.98397%				4.87%
	C		$	110,820,000			3.70 years			99.98573%				5.38%

The Financing will:

• have an expected average annualized cost of approximately 5.1% including upfront fees and other costs;
• revolve for 24 months after which it will amortize based upon the cash flows on the conveyed loans; and
• be used by us to repay higher cost outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

We will receive 4.0% of the cash flows related to the underlying consumer loans to cover servicing expenses. The remaining 96.0%, less amounts due to dealers for payments of dealer holdback, will be used to pay principal and interest on the notes as well as the ongoing costs of the Financing. The Financing is structured so as not to affect our contractual relationships with dealers and to preserve the dealers’ rights to future payments of dealer holdback.

Following the completion of this financing, Credit Acceptance maintained approximately $2.0 billion in unused and available borrowing capacity on its revolving credit facilities and unrestricted cash. "I am proud to announce our 60th term securitization since 1998 and lowest-cost ABS transaction since late 2021," Jay Brinkley, Treasurer of Credit Acceptance, "particularly with our history of securitization trusts paying timely interest and principal in full and no early amortization events, events of default, or other adverse events causing early or late repayment."

The notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This news release does not and will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes. This news release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act of 1933.

Description of Credit Acceptance Corporation

We make vehicle ownership possible by providing innovative financing solutions that enable automobile dealers to sell vehicles to consumers regardless of their credit history. Our financing programs are offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisements for our financing programs, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing.

Without our financing programs, consumers are often unable to purchase vehicles or they purchase unreliable ones. Further, as we report to the three national credit reporting agencies, an important ancillary benefit of our programs is that we provide consumers with an opportunity to improve their lives by improving their credit score and move on to more traditional sources of financing. Credit Acceptance is publicly traded on the Nasdaq stock market under the symbol CACC.  For more information, visit creditacceptance.com.
