RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the normal course of our business, affiliated Dealers assigned Consumer Loans to us under the Portfolio and Purchase Programs.  Dealer Loans and Purchased Loans with affiliated Dealers were on the same terms as those with non-affiliated Dealers. Affiliated Dealers were comprised of Dealers owned or controlled by: (1) Donald Foss, our founder, significant shareholder and former Chairman of the Board; and (2) a member of Mr. Foss’s immediate family.

On January 3, 2017, Mr. Foss retired as officer, director and employee of the Company and entered into a shareholder agreement with the Company. Under the shareholder agreement, Mr. Foss agreed, until the final adjournment of the tenth annual meeting of shareholders held by the Company after the date of the shareholder agreement, to cause all shares of the Company beneficially owned by him or any of his affiliates or associates to be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors with respect to election and removal of directors, certain routine matters and any other proposal to be submitted to the Company’s shareholders with respect to any extraordinary transaction providing for the acquisition of all of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As a result, effective January 3, 2017, we no longer consider the remaining Dealers owned or controlled by Mr. Foss or a member of Mr. Foss’s immediate family to be affiliated with us while Mr. Foss’s voting interests in the Company are subject to the voting restrictions under the shareholder agreement and accordingly, we have excluded these Dealers from the affiliated amounts reported effective January 3, 2017.

On June 7, 2016, Mr. Foss sold certain affiliated Dealers previously owned or controlled by him to a third party. As a result, we no longer consider these Dealers to be affiliated and accordingly, we have excluded these Dealers from the affiliated amounts reported effective June 7, 2016.

Affiliated Dealer Loan balances were $0.0 million and $1.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, affiliated Dealer Loan balances were 0.0% of total consolidated Dealer Loan balances. 

There was no related party Loan activity during 2017. The following table summarizes our related party Loan activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016:
