SelectQuote Completes First Phase of Recapitalization with $100 Million Securitization

Business Wire
SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT), a leading distributor of
Medicare insurance policies and owner of a rapidly-growing
Healthcare Services platform, today announced the completion of a
$100 million securitization transaction on October 15, 2024.
Securitization provides advanced financing against the Company’s
expected collections for policies previously sold. The Company’s
receivables totaled approximately $1 billion as of June 30, 2024,
and only a portion of the total receivables balance was securitized
in this transaction. The Company will use the proceeds from this
first securitization to pay down a portion of its outstanding term
debt. The new securitized debt offers a materially lower cost of
capital than the Company’s term debt.
The transaction also includes a meaningful maturity extension
for the remainder of SelectQuote’s term debt from September 15,
2025 to September 30, 2027, and provides a path to an additional
extension to September 30, 2028 upon completion of agreed upon
payment milestones. While the Company believes future
securitization deals remain the most attractive solution to a
permanent recapitalization, it has hired an investment bank to
conduct a strategic review of all available options to meet the
Company's payment milestones, strengthen the balance sheet, and
fund continued investment in core business lines.
SelectQuote CEO Tim Danker commented, “This securitization marks
an important milestone for SelectQuote. This innovative approach to
financing our business comes at a significant improvement to the
Company’s current cost of capital. This transaction marks a
critical first step toward our ultimate goal of significantly
improving our capital structure and unlocking value for
shareholders.”
