ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On December 28, 2015, Taxi Medallion Loan Trust III (the “Trust”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Medallion Financial Corp. (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) which amended the Loan and Security Agreement, dated December 12, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Trust, Autobahn Funding Company LLC and DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main. Under the terms of the Amendment, (i) the maximum commitment amount of the credit facility was decreased to $135 million on December 28, 2015 and will be decreased to $125 million on July 1, 2016 and (ii) other technical changes were implemented. The amount outstanding under the facility was approximately $122.6 million as of September 30, 2015. The Company does not intend to increase the current size of its taxi medallion loan portfolio as it continues to diversify its portfolio and to expand in other areas of lending, such as Medallion Bank’s consumer loan portfolio which generated over 75% of the profits of the Company as of September 30, 2015. Medallion Bank is the Company’s unconsolidated wholly-owned portfolio company.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
