Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 11, 2007, Credit Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”) executed the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Certificate Funding Agreement (“Residual Credit Facility”), dated September 20, 2006, among the Company, Credit Acceptance Residual Funding LLC (“Residual Funding”), Wachovia Bank, National Association, Variable Funding Capital Company LLC, and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC. The Amendment extends the maturity date from September 19, 2007 to September 9, 2008 and increases the maximum facility advance rate from 65% to 70%.
This facility allows Residual Funding to finance its purchase of trust certificates from special purpose entities (the “Term SPEs”) that purchased loans to dealer-partners under the Company’s term securitization transactions. In connection with any such purchase of a trust certificate, the Company’s right to repurchase the related dealer loans in a “clean-up call” will be assigned to Residual Funding, and the net proceeds from the purchase will be distributed by the relevant Term SPE to the Company.
Borrowings under the Residual Credit Facility generally bear interest at a floating rate equal to the LIBOR or the commercial paper rate plus 145 basis points. The Amendment is attached as Exhibit 4(f)(94) to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
