Atlanticus Holdings Corporation, through subsidiary Mercury Financial, LLC, completed the sale and assignment of the MERCURY word mark and certain related intellectual property rights to an unaffiliated third party on September 30, 2026, for $27.5 million in cash. The sale did not include the associated consumer credit card receivables, which remain with Atlanticus. The purchaser granted Mercury Financial a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to solicit new credit card consumers using the brand on behalf of its bank partner for 12 months following the sale. For up to five additional years thereafter, Mercury Financial may use the brand to service legacy accounts and meet continuing operational, legal and regulatory obligations.
Atlanticus Holdings Corporation (ATLC) has completed the sale of its CAR Auto Finance operations to an unaffiliated third party. CAR represented 100% of Atlanticus’s Auto Finance segment, and the company will no longer operate an Auto Finance segment following this transaction. Total consideration was approximately $71.2 million, including $56.2 million in cash and a $15.0 million seller note, and about 154 CAR team members are transitioning to the buyer. Management states that the sale strengthens the balance sheet and will allow greater focus of capital and management resources on consumer credit products where Atlanticus sees long-term value creation and growth opportunities. Atlanticus expects to use the cash proceeds to reduce debt and invest in higher-growth product lines.
