Item 8.01 — Other Events
As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022 (the “Fiscal 2022 Annual Report”), we own a non-redeemable voting participating preferred
equity interest in Founders One, LLC (“Founders”), a private company that has majority ownership in Simple Management Group, Inc. (“SMG”). SMG, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns and operates pawn stores principally in the Caribbean. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Part II, Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Fiscal 2022 Annual Report.
On December 2, 2022, SMG acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of FFI Holdings, Inc., which owns 52 pawn stores in Florida and Puerto Rico operating under the name “La Familia Pawn & Jewelry” and other related names, including “La Familia” and “Family Financial.” To assist with the financing of SMG’s acquisition of
La Familia, we made the following additional investments in Founders:
•We contributed $15.0 million to Founders as an additional capital contribution associated with our preferred interest. Those proceeds were used by Founders to acquire additional common stock in SMG, increasing Founders’ ownership in SMG to approximately 71%.
•We loaned $15.0 million to Founders in exchange for a Demand Promissory Note secured by the common interest in Founders held by the other member. Those proceeds, along with the proceeds of additional debt financing from a third-party investor, were loaned by Founders to SMG in exchange for a Subordinated Note.
SMG used the proceeds from the capital contribution and the subordinated loan from Founders, along with additional debt financing obtained from a third-party
senior lender, to complete the La Familia acquisition. SMG now owns and operates a total of 73 pawn stores (42 in the Caribbean and 31 in Florida).
