Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Thursday, May 17th, 2018

TMX Finance LLC, a privately-owned consumer finance company focused primarily on automobile title lending, announced that it is seeking to raise $450 million through an institutional private placement (the "Offering") of senior secured notes due 2023 (the "Notes") to be issued by TMX Finance and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TitleMax Finance Corporation (together with TMX Finance, the "Issuers"). TMX Finance intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering, together with cash on hand in an amount necessary, to redeem all of the Issuers' currently outstanding 8 ½% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the "2018 Notes") and to pay related fees and expenses. On May 16, 2018, the Issuers provided a notice of conditional full redemption of all of their outstanding 2018 Notes (not including 2018 Notes that previously were purchased by the Company and as of today have been canceled by the Company), which redemption is subject only to the consummation of the Offering in an aggregate principal amount of at least $450 million (or such other amount as the Issuers determine in their sole and absolute discretion).

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other security. This announcement does not constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the 2018 Notes or an offer to tender for, or purchase, any 2018 Notes or any other security.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. Unless so registered, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
