FLOCK Launches New Funding Structure with Limited Residual Profit Sharing

ATLANTA, Ga. – Atlanta-based FLOCK Specialty Finance (“FLOCK” or the “Company”), a provider of capital to buyers of non-performing debt and subprime consumer lenders, announced an expansion of its traditional financing alternatives by offering a solution with little or no back-end profit sharing.

FLOCK’s VP of Business Development, Greg Paulo, explained: “We are responding to the needs of our customers and today’s market trends.  It has always been FLOCK’s goal to be responsive to the market by  providing Fast, Flexible and Fair financing solutions to the non-performing debt buying and sub-prime consumer lending markets.  Some of our prospects and customers have asked for an alternative structure to our traditional model.”

With a lower advance rate against the portfolio purchase price, FLOCK’s enhanced structure will offer clients a reduced profit split with FLOCK in the residual (i.e., back-end) stage of the portfolio liquidation.   By giving clients more options, the new structure allows more flexibility in managing the key financing aspects of a portfolio acquisition, including payment terms, fees and profit sharing.   The structure will remain a joint venture arrangement preserving FLOCK’s use of a special purpose vehicle entity as the funding vehicle, with the debt purchaser as the controlling party.

Michael Flock, Chairman and CEO of FLOCK, stated, “This structural change is critical to the ongoing growth of FLOCK.  By offering a solution with lower back-end profit, our range of financing products will appeal to a larger market segment, allowing us to expand our client base, accelerate deployments and beat the competition.”

In December 2016, FLOCK closed on a new senior line of credit from a syndicate of four commercial banks.  FLOCK also completed a significant mezzanine capital raise in the first quarter of 2017.  With these new lines of capital together, FLOCK has doubled its total available capital creating new flexibility and capacity for customers.  With this new capital and new financing solution, FLOCK expects to grow its deployment opportunities significantly during the second half of 2017.
