(1)Mr. Terry qualified as a named executive officer pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K beginning for the year 2024.
(2)Amounts reported for FY2024 in this column comprise non-equity incentive plan compensation earned in 2024 and paid or granted in 2025. For the chief executive officer, such payments were based on the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of the chief executive officer meeting as many as possible of several objectives within the year 2024. For FY2024, the objectives and their weightings are as follows: (I) to meet or exceed the Company’s quarterly budget (25% each quarter, total of 100%), (II) to execute four rated securitization transactions (25% each, 100% total), (III) to increase the Company’s annual originations of receivables to each of four targets (up to 100% in the aggregate, creditable pro rata for reaching target amounts of $1.3 billion, $1.4 billion, $1.5 billion, and $1.6 billion), (IV) to decrease core operating expenses by up to 1% (up to 100%, creditable pro rata for the portion of the 1% achieved), (V) to raise $50 million in a new residual financing deal (50%) (VI) to obtain up to a $600 million forward flow contract purchase agreement, (VII) and to cause the Company’s common stock to trade in excess of each of four targets (100% in the aggregate, creditable in increments of 25% for reaching prices of $10.00, $11.00, $12.00, and $13.00 per share). The total of the seven weightings is 650%; accordingly, the target and maximum possible value to chief executive officer of the award was 650% of his base salary for 2024. The factors applied in determining the FY2024 amount of the non-equity incentive plan payment amount for the executive vice presidents of the Company, including the named executive officers Mr. Bharwani, Ms. Robinson, and Mr. Terry, are: (I) skills and performance, 35%, (II) one individual objective, 14%, (III) subjective evaluation of that executive’s department, 42%, (IV) Company performance, 28% and (V) discretionary allocation recommended by the chief executive officer and approved by the Compensation Committee, 21%, representing a maximum payment amount of 140% of base compensation. The same factors are used in determining the FY2024 non-equity incentive plan payment amount for the president, Mr. Lavin, and the numerical scores assigned to each of these factors are 40%, 16%, 48%, 32%, and 24%, respectively, representing a maximum payment amount of 160% of base compensation for the president.
(3)Represents the dollar value accrued for financial accounting purposes in connection with the grant of such options, computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 and SFAS 123R. Value was estimated using a Black-Scholes model for 2022. For the options granted on January 24, 2022, (comprising 750,000 options granted to Mr. Bradley), the weighted average fair value per option was $5.8558, based on assumptions of 4.11 years expected life, expected volatility of 75.26%, and a risk-free rate of 1.43%. For the options granted on June 24, 2022, (comprising all of the other options granted to named executive officers in 2022), the weighted average fair value per option was $4.98, based on assumptions of 4.11 years expected life, expected volatility of 75.15%, and a risk-free rate of 3.13%.
(4)For 2024, includes premiums paid by the Company for group life insurance and employer matching contributions under the Company’s defined contribution plan. Additionally, the amounts include a (i) cash-out of accrued vacation time of $38,269, $26,423 and $22,269 to Messrs. Bradley, Lavin, and Bharwani, respectively and (ii) a car allowance of $16,077 and $20,260 for Messrs. Lavin and Bharwani, respectively and (iii) gym membership fees of $2,316 for Mr. Lavin.

Chief Executive Officer Pay Ratio

The Dodd-Frank Reform and Consumer Protection Act includes a mandate that public companies disclose the ratio of the compensation of their chief executive officer to their median employee (“CEO Pay Ratio”). The CEO Pay Ratio for FY2024 was not included in the Company’s 2024 10-K because it was not yet calculable at that time because the chief executive officer’s FY2024 non-equity incentive plan compensation award had not yet been determined, and thus his total compensation needed to calculate the CEO Pay Ratio was not yet available.

Our chief executive officer-median employee pay ratio calculation for FY2024 is 55.5 to 1. We determined the pay ratio by dividing the total FY2024 compensation of the chief executive officer, Charles E. Bradley, Jr., as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table above by the total FY2024 compensation of the median employee, using the same components of compensation as used in the Summary Compensation Table for the chief executive officer.

We previously reviewed the compensation of all employees who were employed on December 31, 2023, and identified the median-compensated employee for the year then ended using 2023 W-2 gross wages. This median-compensated employee was used to calculate the CEO Pay Ratio for the 2023 fiscal year. It is no longer appropriate to use that median-compensated employee identified for FY2024 because their employment terminated with the Company in early 2024. Accordingly, for FY2024, the registrant has identified another employee whose compensation is substantially similar to the original median-compensated employee based on the compensation measure used to select the original median-compensated employee.

We then computed the ratio by reference to that employee’s total compensation for the year 2024, which was $75,054. The total compensation of the chief executive officer in FY2024 was $4,165,611.
