The 2021-C transaction has initial credit enhancement consisting of a cash deposit equal to 1.00% of the original receivable pool balance and overcollateralization of 3.00%. The transaction agreements require accelerated payment of principal on the notes to reach overcollateralization of the lesser of 7.75% of the original receivable pool balance, or 25.25% of the then outstanding pool balance.

The transaction utilizes a pre-funding structure, in which CPS sold approximately $211.6 million of receivables at inception and plans to sell approximately $88.4 million of additional receivables in July 2021. This further sale is intended to provide CPS with long-term financing for receivables purchased primarily in the month of July.

The transaction was a private offering of securities, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities law. All of such securities having been sold, this announcement of their sale appears as a matter of record only.
