Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information contained in Item 2.03 of this report is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01. The registrant disclaims any implication that the agreements relating to the transactions described in this report are other than agreements entered into in the ordinary course of its business.
Securitization of Receivables

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Securitization of Receivables
CPS, Subsidiary, the Trust and others on
Security for the repayment of the Notes consists of the Receivables and the rights to payments relating to the Receivables. The Receivables were purchased by CPS from automobile dealers, and CPS will act as the servicer of the Receivables. Credit enhancement for the Notes consists of over-collateralization and the Reserve Account. CTCNA will act as collateral agent and trustee on behalf of the secured parties, and is the backup servicer.
The Notes are obligations only of the Trust, and not of Subsidiary nor of CPS. Nevertheless, the Notes are properly treated as long-term debt obligations of CPS. The sale and issuance of the Notes, treated as secured financings for accounting and tax purposes, are treated as sales for all other purposes, including legal and bankruptcy purposes. None of the assets of the Trust or Subsidiary are available to pay other creditors of CPS or its affiliates.
The Trust holds a fixed pool of amortizing assets. The Trust is obligated to pay principal and interest on the Notes on a monthly basis. Interest is payable at fixed rates on the outstanding principal balance of each of the five classes of the Notes, and principal is payable by reference to the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables (adjusted for chargeoffs and prepayments, among other things) and agreed required over-collateralization. The following table sets forth the interest rates and initial principal amounts of the five classes of Notes:
Note Class Interest Rate Amount
Class A 5.54%$ 154,582,000 Class B 5.47%$44,080,000 Class C 5.54%$ 57,161,000 Class D 6.44%$ 39,553,000 Class E 10.59%$ 29,392,000 2
The 2023-A transaction has initial credit enhancement consisting of a cash deposit equal to 1.00% of the original Receivable pool balance and overcollateralization of 10.50%. The final enhancement level requires accelerated payment of principal on the Notes to reach overcollateralization of the lesser of 14.00% of the original Receivables pool balance, or 38.00% of the then outstanding pool balance, but in no event less than 2.50% of the original receivable pool balance.
If an event of default were to occur under the agreements, the Trustee would have the right to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, in which event the cash proceeds of the Receivables that otherwise would be released to Subsidiary would instead be directed entirely toward repayment of the Notes. Events of default include such events as failure to make required payments on the Notes, breaches of warranties, representations or covenants under any of the agreements or specified bankruptcy-related events. In addition, if the Receivables (pledged as security for the Notes) were to experience net loss ratios that are higher than specified levels, the existence of such a "trigger event" would also require that the cash proceeds of the Receivables that otherwise would be released to Subsidiary would instead be directed to payment of principal on the Notes, until specified increased levels of overcollateralization were achieved.
At such time as the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Receivables
is less than 10% of the initial aggregate balance of
