This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events and therefore
are inherently uncertain. Actual performance and results may differ materially
from those projected or suggested due to certain risks and uncertainties,
including acquisition and transition challenges, assimilation issues in the
consolidation process, customer reaction to the acquisition, and operational and
other risks relating to the combination of separate businesses. Additional
information concerning certain other risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested, is
contained in Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc.'s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, under the caption "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Forward Looking
Statements." The forward-looking statements contained herein represent the
judgment of Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. as of the date of this Current
Report on Form 8-K, and Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. cautions against the
placement of undue reliance on such statements.
ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On May 20, 2003, the registrant Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. ("CPS")
acquired TFC Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TFCE") and its
subsidiaries, by the merger (the "Merger") of CPS Mergersub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Mergersub") and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CPS, with and
into TFCE. The Merger took place pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of March 31, 2003 (the "Merger Agreement"), among CPS, Mergersub and
TFCE. In the Merger TFCE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPS. CPS thus
acquired the assets of TFCE and its subsidiaries, consisting principally of
interests in motor vehicle installment sales finance contracts, interests in
securitized pools of such contracts, and the facilities for originating and
servicing such contracts.
TFCE, through its primary operating subsidiary, The Finance Company, is in the
business of purchasing motor vehicle installment sales finance contracts from
automobile dealers, and securitizing and servicing such contracts. CPS intends
to continue to use the assets acquired in the Merger in the automobile finance
business. Attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 are copies of press releases
relating to the Merger described in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which press
releases are incorporated herein by reference.
At the closing of the Merger, each share of common stock, $.01 par value per
share, of TFCE, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the
Merger, was cancelled and became a right to receive $1.87 per share in cash,
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon surrender of the certificates that
evidenced such shares. The total merger consideration payable to stockholders of
TFCE was approximately $21.6 million. The amount of such consideration was
agreed to as the result of arms'-length negotiations between CPS and TFCE. The
recipients of the total merger consideration had no material relationship with
CPS, its directors, its officers or any associates of such directors or
officers, to the best of CPS's knowledge. The Merger consideration was paid with
existing cash of CPS.
