Note 14: Subsequent Event

On May 8, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Propel Financial Services, LLC, and certain of its affiliates ("Propel") for $186.8 million in cash. Propel provides property tax solutions to customers in the state of Texas by paying real estate taxes on behalf of owners of real property in Texas in exchange for notes collateralized by tax liens on the property. The Company financed the acquisition through a new $160.0 million syndicated loan facility (the "Propel Facility"), the Company's existing revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The Propel Facility will be used to fund a portion of the purchase price and to fund future growth at Propel. The Propel Facility has a three year term and includes the following key provisions:

 

   

Interest at the Propel's option, at either: (1) LIBOR, plus a spread that ranges from 300 to 375 basis points, depending on Propel's leverage; or (2) Prime, plus a spread that ranges from 0 to 75 basis points, depending on Propel's leverage;

 

   

A borrowing base of 90% of the face value of the tax lien collateralized notes;

 

   

Interest payable monthly; principal and interest due at maturity; and

 

   

A $40.0 million accordion feature.

The Propel Facility is collateralized by the tax lien collateralized notes and requires Propel to maintain various financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum cash flow leverage ratio.
