What is the interest rate (coupon) and payment schedule of the Senior Notes?

Answer

The press release you quoted only confirms that Atlanticus Holdings Corp. is issuing $400 million of Senior Notes due 2030; it does not disclose the notes’ coupon (interest rate) or the timing of interest‑payment dates. Those terms are normally set out in the offering’s prospectus (or the related Form S‑1/SEC filing) and would be specified as a fixed‑rate coupon % per annum with interest paid on a semi‑annual (or, in rarer cases, quarterly) basis.

What to do next

  • Locate the official offering documents (e.g., the SEC Form S‑1, the definitive indenture, or the “Senior Notes Offering Memorandum”). Those filings list the exact coupon rate, the first interest‑payment date, and the regular semi‑annual payment schedule through 2030.
  • Confirm any call or make‑whole provisions that could affect cash‑flow timing or yield‑to‑call calculations—these are also detailed in the indenture.

Trading implication

Until the coupon and payment schedule are known, it’s difficult to price the notes accurately or to model the yield curve impact on Atlanticus’ credit spread. Once the rate is confirmed (e.g., a 5.0% fixed coupon paid semi‑annually), you can:

  1. Benchmark against comparable 2025‑2030 senior unsecured notes to gauge relative value and potential demand.
  2. Assess the spread over Treasuries or the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate to determine if the issue is priced at a premium or discount, which will drive secondary‑market liquidity and potential trading opportunities.

In short, the release does not provide the coupon or payment schedule; you’ll need to review the SEC filing for those specifics before forming a concrete trading view.
