Encore Capital Group: Regulation Fd Disclosure, Other Events, Financial Statements And Exhibits

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.On July 22, 2026, Encore Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding the Redemption (described below), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.The information in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.Item 8.01. Other Events.On July 22, 2026, the Company issued a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to holders of the Company’s 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) calling for redemption (the “Redemption”) of all outstanding Notes.On September 24, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”), all then-outstanding Notes that are called for Redemption and have not been submitted for conversion will be repurchased for cash at a price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.Notes that are called for Redemption may be submitted for conversion at any time before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second scheduled trading day before the Redemption Date. The Company currently expects that holders of Notes called for Redemption will convert such Notes before the Redemption Date. However, those holders are not obligated to convert their Notes, and the Company will be required to pay the Redemption Price for all Notes called for Redemption that have not been converted. Notes that are converted after they are called for Redemption will be settled in cash. As of the date of the Redemption Notice, the conversion rate of the Notes is 15.1763 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. However, in accordance with the Indenture governing the Notes, the Conversion Rate applicable to Notes called for Redemption that are converted during the period beginning on, and including, July 22, 2026 and ending on, and including, September 22, 2026 will be increased to 16.2056 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. If all of the Notes called for redemption were converted in connection with the Redemption and the price for the Company’s common stock on each day during the observation period over which the conversion consideration is determined remained equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on July 21, 2026, the Company would expect to make an aggregate cash payment of approximately $332.5 million to settle such conversions.In connection with the pricing of the Notes in February 2023, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). In connection with the Redemption, the Company expects that the capped call transactions will unwind and terminate in full. In connection with any such unwind and termination, the Company would receive from each option counterparty an amount of cash (or shares of the Company’s common stock if agreed with the applicable option counterparty) reflecting the then-current option value of such capped call transaction, as determined pursuant to the terms of such transaction or as otherwise agreed with the Company. The Company expects to enter into bilateral unwind agreements with each option counterparty to unwind and terminate its respective capped call transaction as of or shortly following the Redemption Date, with a termination value determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock over a valuation period expected to end shortly prior to the Redemption Date and payable to the Company on or shortly following the Redemption Date, in each case, subject to extension. In connection with unwinding and terminating the capped call transactions, the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates are expected to unwind various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common stock and/or sell shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions. This activity may have the effect of decreasing (or reducing the size of any increase in) the market price of the Company’s common stock.Forward Looking StatementsThis Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
