On August 25, 2014, First Cash Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) signed and closed a stock purchase agreement to acquire a chain of 47 Mexico-based pawn stores. In a separate transaction that also closed on August 25, 2014, the Company acquired the operating assets of five pawn stores located in Colorado. The Company is immediately consolidating one of the Colorado locations with one of the Company's existing Colorado locations and intends to consolidate a second acquired Colorado location by the end of 2014. On August 26, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the operating assets of four pawn stores located in Texas.
The combined purchase price of the three all-cash transactions was approximately $28.5 million, net of cash acquired and subject to certain working capital adjustments. The combined assets of the three acquisitions included approximately $7.5 million in pawn loans outstanding and $7 million of merchandise inventory as of August 26, 2014 (unaudited).
On August 27, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the three separate transactions. The full text of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
