[8-K] LM FUNDING AMERICA, INC. Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LM Funding America (LMFA) drew the $700,000 second tranche under its amended loan with SE & AJ Liebel Limited Partnership. The company gave notice on October 21, 2025, and the lender advanced the funds the same day, net of loan fees.

Insights

Credit & capital structure analyst

LMFA tapped a remaining $700,000 loan tranche; routine liquidity move.

The company exercised its right to draw the second tranche of $700,000 under a prior amendment, with proceeds delivered on October 21, 2025 net of fees. The amendment authorized up to $2.0 million, structured as a $1.3 million initial advance plus this follow-on tranche.

This is a standard financing draw that adds debt and cash simultaneously. Specific interest rate, covenants, and maturity details are referenced to prior agreements, so potential balance sheet impact depends on those terms.

Subsequent filings may provide detail on fee magnitude and ongoing debt service, which will shape net cash benefits over time.
