This Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, may contain certain forward-looking statements that are based largely on the Company’s current expectations.

The information set forth in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

On June 18, 2018, Regional Management Corp. (the “Company”) commenced a private offering of $150 million of asset-backed notes (the “Notes”), the closing of which is subject to market conditions and other factors. To facilitate the private offering, the Company formed Regional Management Receivables, III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, to act as the depositor (the “Depositor”), and the Depositor formed Regional Management Issuance Trust 2018-1, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer”). The Depositor and the Issuer are special purpose subsidiaries of the Company. The Notes will be issued by the Issuer.

The Notes will be offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The information in this Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
