Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 1, 2021, RPAC Racing, LLC (“RPAC”), a subsidiary of Medallion Financial Corp. (the “Company”), entered into a Subscription Agreement for Preferred Units of RPAC Racing, LLC by and among Warp Speed, LLC (“Buyer”), Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr. and RPAC (the “Subscription Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, on December 1, 2021, RPAC sold 9,999 preferred units in RPAC to Buyer in exchange for a cash capital contribution in the amount of $19,100,000, which (net of fees and other transaction costs) was paid to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Medallion”) in full satisfaction of the outstanding RPAC intercompany indebtedness. In connection therewith, Medallion transferred all its membership interests in RPAC to Buyer.

The transaction results in a complete divestiture of RPAC by the Company, removes $26 million of intangible assets from the Company’s balance sheet and increases the Company’s tangible book value by over $1 per share.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 above, which is incorporated herein by reference.
