Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 30, 2017, Elevate Credit, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain subsidiaries and Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and the holders (in such capacity, the “Agent”) entered into the Second Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Financing Agreement (the "Amended Financing Agreement”). The following provides a summary of the primary changes to the Amended Financing Agreement:
The existing US Convertible Term Notes of $10.1 million will convert into and become a part of the existing Fourth Tranche Term Notes effective January 30, 2018 with a post-conversion outstanding balance of $35.1 million (the “Converted Fourth Tranche Term Notes”). The exit premium under the existing US Convertible Term Notes of $2.0 million will be due and payable to the Agent on January 30, 2018.
Upon conversion on January 30, 2018, the maturity date of the Converted Fourth Tranche Term Notes will be extended to February 1, 2021.

The UK Term Note commitment amount has been increased to approximately $47.9 million (comprised of $35.0 million and £10.0 million), as of the effective date of this amendment.
The UK Term Note maturity date has been extended to February 1, 2021, as of the effective date of this amendment.
