2025-2 Securitization

On October 23, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Regional Management Corp. (the “Company”) completed a private offering and sale of $252.8 million principal amount of asset-backed notes (the “2025-2 Securitization”). The 2025-2 Securitization consisted of the issuance of four classes of fixed rate asset-backed notes, the Class A 4.59% asset-backed notes (the “Class A Notes”), the Class B 5.00% asset-backed notes (the “Class B Notes”), the Class C 5.36% asset-backed notes (the “Class C Notes”), and the Class D 6.01% asset-backed notes (the “Class D Notes” and, together with the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, and the Class C Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were issued by Regional Management Issuance Trust 2025-2 (the “Issuer”), a newly formed special purpose entity that is indirectly owned by the Company. The Notes are collateralized by a pool of soft secured, hard secured, and unsecured consumer loans, some of which constitute personal loans originated through the Company’s convenience check direct mail campaigns, having an aggregate principal balance of approximately $277.8 million as of September 30, 2025 (the “Loans”), and a certificate which represents a beneficial interest in certain Loans (the “2025-2A SUBI Certificate”).

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., and Regions Securities LLC acted as joint bookrunners, with each of them acting as an initial purchaser (the “Initial Purchasers”); FHN Financial Securities Corp., Texas Capital Securities, and Banc of California acted as co-managers; and EverBank, N.A. acted as an advisor. The Notes were rated by DBRS, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business, on the Closing Date, and the Notes each received investment grade ratings.

The following table summarizes certain aspects of the 2025-2 Securitization:

To implement the 2025-2 Securitization, (i) Regional Management Receivables IV, LLC, a special purpose entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “RMR IV Warehouse Borrower”), entered into a purchase agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and between the RMR IV Warehouse Borrower and the Company (the “RMR IV Purchase Agreement”), (ii) Regional Management Receivables V, LLC, a special purpose entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “RMR V Warehouse Borrower”), entered into a purchase agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and between the RMR V and the Company (the “RMR V Purchase Agreement”), (iii) Regional Management Receivables VI, LLC, a special purpose entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “RMR VI Warehouse Borrower”), entered into a purchase agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and between the RMR VI Warehouse Borrower and the Company (the “RMR VI Purchase Agreement”), (iv) Regional Management Receivables VII, LLC, a special purpose entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “RMR VII Warehouse Borrower”), entered into a purchase agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and between the RMR VII Warehouse Borrower and the Company (the “RMR VII Purchase Agreement”), and (v) certain wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Regional Originator”) distributed and assigned either directly or indirectly certain Loans and related assets to the Company pursuant to an omnibus distribution and

assignment agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and between such subsidiaries and the Company (the “Omnibus Distribution and Assignment Agreement”). The Company then sold and conveyed the Loans and related assets and the 2025-2A SUBI Certificate to Regional Management Receivables III, LLC, as the depositor (the “Depositor”), pursuant to a loan purchase agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and between the Company and the Depositor (the “Loan Purchase Agreement”). The Depositor then conveyed the Loans and related assets and the 2025-2A SUBI Certificate to the Issuer pursuant to a sale and servicing agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Depositor, the Issuer, the Company, as servicer (the “Servicer”), certain affiliates of the Company, as subservicers, and Regional Management North Carolina Receivables Trust (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”).

The Omnibus Distribution and Assignment Agreement, the RMR IV Purchase Agreement, the RMR V Purchase Agreement, the RMR VI Purchase Agreement, the RMR VII Purchase Agreement, and the Loan Purchase Agreement each contain customary corporate representations and warranties and customary covenants of the Regional Originators, the RMR IV Warehouse Borrower, the RMR V Warehouse Borrower, the RMR VI Warehouse Borrower, the RMR VII Warehouse Borrower, and the Company, respectively, including negative covenants restricting (i) the sale, assignment, or transfer of the purchased Loans and related assets (or any interest therein) to another person and (ii) the taking of any other action that is inconsistent with the ownership of the purchased Loans and related assets. In order for a Loan to be eligible for sale by the Company to the Depositor, the Loan must meet all applicable eligibility criteria. The eligibility criteria include, among other things, that the applicable Loan (i) has an amount financed that is greater than $500 and less than $50,000, (ii) has an original and current annual percentage rate equal to or greater than 5.00% and equal to or less than 36.00%, (iii) has been serviced and at all times maintained in accordance with the Company’s credit and collection policy by the Company or an affiliate, (iv) arises from or in connection with a bona fide sale or loan transaction (including any amounts in respect of interest and other charges and fees assessed on the Loan), (v) is evidenced by an electronic contract if such loan is an electronic loan, and (vi) complies in all material respects with applicable law.

The Loans will be serviced pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Servicer may delegate servicing responsibilities to other persons and will enlist the affiliates of the Company that originated the Loans to act as subservicers. The Sale and Servicing Agreement contains customary servicer defaults (subject to materiality thresholds and cure periods), including (i) failure by the Servicer to make any required payment, transfer, or deposit or to give instructions or notice to Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), to make such payment, transfer, or deposit, in an aggregate amount exceeding $50,000, (ii) non-compliance with covenants, (iii) breach of a representation, warranty, or certification, or (iv) an insolvency event involving the Servicer. If the Servicer defaults in its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may (and upon the written direction of the required noteholders shall) terminate and replace the Servicer.

The Notes were issued by the Issuer pursuant to an indenture, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as the securities intermediary, and the Servicer (the “Indenture”). The stated maturity of the Notes is November 16, 2037. Prior to maturity, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in full, but not in part, at its option (an “Optional Call”) on any business day on or after the payment date for the Notes occurring in November 2027 (as applicable, the “Redemption Date”). The amount at which the Notes may be redeemed must equal at least the sum of (i) the aggregate principal balance of the Notes on the record date preceding the Redemption Date, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, plus (iii) any accrued and unpaid other contractual expenses, indemnification amounts, or other amounts owed by the Issuer, minus (iv) all amounts then on deposit in the collection account, principal distribution account, and reserve account (the “Note Accounts”) and available to be distributed pursuant to the priority of payments on the Redemption Date.

No payments of principal of the Notes will be made during the Revolving Period. The Company may indirectly sell and convey additional Loans to the Issuer during the Revolving Period until the earlier of the close of business on October 31, 2027 and the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the day on which an early amortization event or event of default (as described below) is deemed to have occurred, provided that after the Revolving Period is terminated it may be reinstated in certain limited circumstances. Under the Indenture, an early amortization event includes a servicer default.

The Indenture also contains customary events of default (subject to materiality thresholds and cure periods), including (i) failure of the Indenture Trustee to maintain a first priority perfected security interest in all or a material portion of the trust estate, (ii) the Issuer or the Depositor becoming taxable as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, (iii) failure to pay the principal balance of all outstanding Notes of any class, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in full on the stated maturity for such class, (iv) non-compliance with covenants on the part of the Issuer or the Depositor, or (v) a breach of a representation, warranty, or certification by the Issuer, the Depositor, or the Servicer.

In the case of an event of default under the Indenture (except for an event of default relating to an insolvency event with respect to the Issuer or the Depositor), the Indenture Trustee shall, at the written direction of the required noteholders, declare all Notes immediately due and payable by notice to the Issuer, and upon such declaration, the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, will become immediately due and payable. In the case of an event of default that relates to an insolvency event with respect to the Issuer or the Depositor, the unpaid principal of the Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, will become automatically due and payable.

Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and in accordance with the Indenture, the Servicer may, on any business day occurring on or after the date on which the aggregate principal balance of the outstanding Notes is reduced to 10% or less of the initial principal balance of the Notes, at its option purchase all of the Loans and related assets at a redemption price equal to the then aggregate fair market value of the Loans and related assets as of the date which is five (5) business days prior to the business day on which such option is exercised. The Issuer will redeem and retire the Notes in the event that the Servicer exercises the optional purchase right, and the Servicer may only exercise the optional purchase right if the redemption price equals or exceeds the sum of (i) the amount necessary for the Issuer to redeem all of the Notes in full on the applicable date of final payment on the Notes in accordance with the priority of payments (taking into account all amounts of available funds and any other amounts then on deposit in the Note Accounts and available to be distributed pursuant to the priority of payments on the applicable date of final payment on the Notes) and (ii) any accrued and unpaid other expenses, indemnification amounts, or other amounts owed by the Issuer.

On the Closing Date, the Depositor applied the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes to (i) pay the purchase price of the initial Loans and the 2025-2A SUBI Certificate transferred to the Issuer on the Closing Date and (ii) fund the reserve account. The remaining portion of the purchase price was treated as a capital contribution by the Company to the Depositor. The Company also applied a portion of the net proceeds of the sale of the initial Loans and the 2025-2A SUBI Certificate transferred to the Depositor on the Closing Date, to repay a portion of the existing indebtedness under its senior revolving credit facility and outstanding warehouse facilities.

The Notes were offered in a private placement, solely to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
