Q1

What is the CFPB and the CFPB Consent Order?

A1

The CFPB stands for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is one of several government agencies that regulates lenders within the financial industry. From time to time, our regulators review our business to make sure we are following all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The Company has a well-established track record of good faith cooperation with all government regulators.

We have been working with the CFPB in a cooperative approach to perform a review of our business practices, and the Consent Order, executed on February 23, 2023, is the agreement between our Company and the CFPB, in which we agreed to perform certain tasks to avoid litigation, and instead, focus all of our efforts on providing best-in-class services to our customers.

The Company has safeguards in place to help ensure its products and operations are in line with the law and with consumer protection best practices.

Q2

What were their alleged findings?

A2

Based on the CFPB’s exhaustive review of our business practices, they alleged violations of two specific lending practices.

The allegations, which the Company does not admit, were limited in scope. The Company believes in the strength of its business controls and that our operations are in line with the law, including consumer protection requirements.

Q6

Why don’t you make loans/pawns to active military members and their dependents?

A6

We currently do not have a product available to any covered borrower under the Military Lending Act, but we do support members of the military community in a variety of ways:

• We will continue to serve the military through our Veteran Hiring Commitment, TMX Project SERV, and TMX Cares! We employ hundreds of veterans and military community-affiliated individuals throughout all levels of our Company operations, and we win awards for our commitment to support those who serve!

• The Company made a long-term commitment to veterans in 2017 through TMX Project SERV, and we continue to provide a soft landing for veterans as they transition to a civilian workforce and provide support long after they’ve joined the Company.

• We will also continue to host our annual TMX Cares Military Appreciation Drive during Military Appreciation Month in May and celebrate our nation’s veterans on Veteran’s Day by wearing RED.
