IMPORTANT DEALER NOTICE

Effective May 23, Triad Financial Corporation will cease all lending operations for its Indirect Dealer Channel. Conditions in the financial markets have been extraordinarily unstable, and have hindered our ability to adequately and cost-effectively fund future business through traditional methods, including asset-backed securitizations.

Triad has served the dealer community for more than 18 years, and values the relationships we have enjoyed with you and the customers we share. We will no longer accept new applications as of 5 p.m. today. Triad will, however, honor existing approvals and fund eligible contracts forwarded to us through June 23.

Triad will continue to operate and fund loans in its Direct-Lending Channel, RoadLoans.

On behalf of our fine team of lending professionals in our Credit & Funding Center in North Richland Hills, Texas and our highly dedicated Sales team across the United States, we would like to thank you for your business. We value the support you have shown us over the past 18 years and wish you future success.
