Nu Ride (NRDE) extends $7.6M in high-yield, secured billboard loans

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Nu Ride Inc. reported that it has become a lender in two billboard financing transactions in Florida. On January 23, 2026, the company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Foxpoint Florida II, LLC and other lenders, under which it loaned $5.5 million of total loan proceeds of $7.5 million to fund the acquisition of billboard leasehold assets, including structures and permits. The loan bears interest at 15% per annum, payable monthly in cash, is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the borrower’s assets and a pledge of all equity interests in the borrower, and matures with full principal and accrued interest due on January 23, 2029.

Nu Ride will also receive equity interests in the borrower representing about 29.3% of aggregate equity interests issued to it (out of 40% issued to all lenders), with this equity stake potentially reduced to 30% if the loan is repaid in full on or before the second anniversary of closing and to 20% if repaid in full on or before the first anniversary. Separately, on December 30, 2025, Nu Ride entered into a Funding Agreement and Secured Promissory Note with Foxpoint Florida, LLC, providing a $2.125 million loan on substantially similar collateral and terms, including 40% of that borrower’s equity interests, also subject to potential reduction upon prepayment.

Insights

Credit and structured finance analyst

Nu Ride is deploying capital into high-yield, secured billboard loans with equity kickers, adding credit and asset exposure.

Nu Ride Inc. is committing $5.5 million to Foxpoint Florida II, LLC as part of a $7.5 million loan and an additional $2.125 million to Foxpoint Florida, LLC. Both loans fund acquisitions of billboard leasehold assets in Florida and carry a stated interest rate of 15% per annum, payable monthly in cash, with the larger loan maturing on January 23, 2029. Each loan is secured by liens on substantially all borrower assets and by pledges of equity interests, which strengthens Nu Ride’s position in downside scenarios based on the disclosed structure.

Beyond interest income, Nu Ride receives equity interests: approximately 29.3% of Foxpoint Florida II’s aggregate equity interests issued to it (within 40% allocated to all lenders) and 40% of Foxpoint Florida, LLC’s equity interests. These equity positions are subject to step-downs if the loans are prepaid on or before the first or second anniversaries, so actual long-term participation depends on how quickly borrowers repay. Future company filings can clarify how cash flows and any changes in equity percentages develop over the life of these arrangements.
