Atlanticus received $27.5 million in cash and kept the related card receivables. It gave up ownership of the MERCURY name, and can use it to seek new customers for only 12 months, so the gains and limits point in different directions.

The AI's read

The cash gives Atlanticus money from a brand it no longer owns. It can still use the name to seek new card customers for 12 months, then only to serve existing accounts for up to 5 years. The cash and the limits point in different directions, so this filing does not change how we read the company.
