On August 30, 2019, CURO Group Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) with Friedman Fleischer & Lowe Capital Partners II, L.P. and its affiliated investment funds (“FFL”). Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), owned by FFL, in a private transaction at a purchase price equal to $13.5509 per share of Common Stock (the “Share Repurchase”). The Share Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and FFL.

The Company funded the Share Repurchase with cash on hand and incremental borrowings under its existing senior revolver. The Share Repurchase is expected to close on September 5, 2019, subject to customary conditions.

The Share Repurchase was completed outside of the Company’s share repurchase program announced on April 29, 2019 (the “Repurchase Program”) and will not reduce the authorized repurchase amount thereunder. As of August 30, 2019, the remaining authorized repurchase amount under our Repurchase Program was approximately $29.6 million.

FFL has informed the Company that, on or about the closing date of the Share Repurchase, FFL will be distributing in kind to certain of its partners approximately 383,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
