01 Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events. At-The-Market Offering Program and Capital Strategy Update As previously disclosed, on September 26, 2025, the Company implemented an at-the-market equity offering program (the "ATM Program") pursuant to sales agreements with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and BTIG, LLC, under which the Company may offer and sell shares of its Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million. As of November 13, 2025, the Company had disclosed the sale of approximately $17.7 million of shares of its Class A common stock under the ATM Program. Subsequently, the Company sold additional shares under the ATM Program and has sold more than $35 million of its shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate under the ATM Program as of December 19, 2025. The Company intends to raise capital only to the extent necessary to support the execution of its business plan. Accordingly, the Company continues to evaluate alternatives to reduce its capital requirements, including reducing reliance on the ATM Program, with the objective of minimizing potential dilution while supporting anticipated business growth. In this regard, the Company is in active discussions with its existing warehouse lenders as well as new financing counterparties for financing its loan production at higher advance rates and has received multiple proposals that, if completed, would reduce the amount of capital required to expand its warehouse facilities. These discussions are subject to negotiation and documentation, and no assurance can be given that any such arrangements will be consummated.
