ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
On June 26, 2015, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”) under the Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2013 (the “Indenture”) that governs the Cash America International, Inc. (the “Company”) 5.75% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Senior Notes”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit alleges that the Company’s spin-off of Enova International, Inc. (“Enova”), which was completed in November 2014, was not permitted by the Indenture, and the Trustee is seeking a remedy equal to principal and accrued and unpaid interest plus a make-whole premium, to be paid to the holders of the 2018 Senior Notes. The Company disagrees with the assertion in the lawsuit that the spin-off of Enova was not permitted under the Indenture. The Company also disagrees that a make-whole premium would be due to the holders of the 2018 Senior Notes even if it is determined that the spin-off of Enova was not permitted under the Indenture. The Company believes the position taken by the Trustee is without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously defend its position. Regardless of the outcome of this claim, the Company has ample liquidity and capital resources to repay the 2018 Senior Notes and for its ongoing operations, including availability under the Company’s $280 million line of credit that was undrawn as of June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, there was $184.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 2018 Senior Notes outstanding, and the Company had no other outstanding indebtedness.
