SALT LAKE
CITY — Prestige Financial Services Inc., an affiliate of the Larry H. Miller
Group of Companies, has established a three-year senior secured revolving line
of credit with Wells Fargo Preferred Capital (WFPC).
The
facility, which replaces an existing line of credit, will support the Salt Lake
City-based company’s ongoing auto financing activities.
The
facility is structured with WFPC as both lead lender and agent, and will allow
additional lenders to participate in syndication, to a maximum principal amount
of $300 million.
“This
line of credit adds another facet to our outstanding, long-term relationship
with Prestige’s parent, the Larry H. Miller Group,” says Tom Murphy, president
of WFPC. “Prestige’s proven expertise as an originator and servicer, combined
with the Miller backing, presented a compelling case for us to further Wells
Fargo’s support of consumer credit through this new facility.”
Now
in its 15th year of operations, Prestige provides consumer financing solutions
for automobile dealerships both within and outside of the Larry H. Miller
Group, the nation’s 10th-largest auto retailer. Prestige manages more than $600
million of automobile loans and is recognized throughout the industry for its
innovative lending programs and strong portfolio performance.
“Amid
unprecedented disruption in our industry, Prestige is pleased to have the
support of a partner as widely-respected as Wells Fargo,” notes Prestige CEO
Robert Avery. “We’ve made remarkable advances in both the yield and performance
of our recent originations, and this facility will play an important role in
our continued success.”
Greg
Miller, CEO of the Larry H. Miller Group, adds, “We are pleased to expand our
long-standing relationship with Wells Fargo. This relationship has contributed
significantly to our growth over the years, and we look forward to working more
closely with them in the future.”
