A commitment is not a charge-off, and a charge-off is not a final recovery result; TBK’s collateral position also differs from other lenders’ losses. ## Exposure, charge-offs and contested collateral coverage - Analysis: TBK Bank disclosed that it was agent for a $60.5 million floorplan facility and held approximately $22.5 million itself. Renasant separately disclosed approximately $22.5 million owed by Tricolor and subsidiaries, secured primarily by vehicle inventory. Fifth Third’s filings reported $178 million charged off and a $20 million specific allowance on an asset-backed commercial relationship; the filing did not name the borrower, while retained reporting linked the disclosure to Tricolor. JPMorgan executives were reported as identifying a $170 million Tricolor charge-off.

An anonymous later Renasant reference to a large bankruptcy relationship is insufficient to assign every reported collateral change to Tricolor. Reported exposure, commitment, reserve, charge-off and final recovery must remain separate. - Response: As of 31 December 2025, TBK believed its collateral adequately secured its outstanding floorplan position, while acknowledging that other creditors asserted competing interests and a court might need to resolve priority. This is inconsistent with treating all Tricolor lender collateral as worthless. - Outcome: Renasant placed its facility on nonaccrual after the bankruptcy; TBK’s cited year-end account did not report a Tricolor charge-off. The favorable dismissal in the separate noteholder bank lawsuit remains relevant to claims of participation in fraud, but does not allocate collateral in the bankruptcy. ## Sources - [s-d59] Company statement concerning Tricolor or the identified participant, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - [s-d74] Company statement concerning Tricolor or the identified participant, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - [s-d88] Court record source · s-d88 - [s-d124] Company statement concerning Tricolor or the identified participant, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - [s-d153] Company statement concerning Tricolor or the identified participant, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - [s-d203] Company statement concerning Tricolor or the identified participant, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - [s-d210] Corporate registry concerning Tricolor or the identified participant, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation - [s-d215] Media source · s-d215 - [s-d319] Company statement concerning Tricolor or the identified participant, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - [s-d325] Company statement concerning Tricolor or the identified participant, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
