Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information contained in Item 2.03 of this report is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01. The registrant disclaims any implication that the agreements relating to the transactions described in this report are other than agreements entered into in the ordinary course of its business.

On March 29, 2024, Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (“CPS” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Page Nine Funding LLC (the “Borrower”) renewed a revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") and related agreements, all of which have been in place since November 2015. The agent to act on behalf of the several lenders (“Lenders”) under the Credit Agreement is a subsidiary of Ares Management LLC. Loans under the Credit Agreement are to be secured by automobile receivables that CPS now holds or may purchase in the future from dealers, which receivables CPS would then sell or contribute to the Borrower.

Under the Credit Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Lenders have agreed to lend from time to time prior to the funding termination date up to a maximum of $200 million to be outstanding at any time. The amount that may be advanced under the Credit Agreement will be up to 88% of the principal amount of eligible pledged receivables. The advance percentage is dependent on characteristics of the pledged receivables, the terms of future term securitizations executed by CPS, and on performance of receivables purchased by CPS within the preceding three years, as to which there can be no assurance. The funding termination date is March 31, 2026, or earlier upon the occurrence of defined funding termination events. The amounts outstanding could become due at an earlier date, if any of certain defined events of default were to occur.

Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate set as a margin above the secured overnight financing rate. In connection with renewal of the Credit Agreement, CPS has paid a closing fee of $2,000,000.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information provided in response to Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

CPS first incurred indebtedness under the revolving credit agreement in November 2015. CPS intends to incur indebtedness from time to time as it purchases motor vehicle receivables from dealers. CPS does not undertake to provide updates regarding the amount of indebtedness outstanding from time to time, and no inference should be drawn that such indebtedness has not changed.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Neither financial statements nor pro forma financial information are filed with this report.
