During the change in control period, the Chief Executive Officer and Tier I participants may receive 18 months of base salary and COBRA premiums, 150% of target annual bonus, unpaid prior-year bonus, and full acceleration of service-based equity vesting; Tier II participants may receive 12 months of salary and COBRA premiums and 100% of target annual bonus. All benefits are conditioned on a release of claims and other customary requirements.

Oportun Financial Corporation reported changes in its leadership and governance structure. The board expanded from seven to eight members and appointed Scott Scheirman as an independent Class I director, effective August 11, 2026. He will serve as Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee and as a member of the Compensation & Leadership Committee, and has been designated an “audit committee financial expert”.

At the 2026 annual meeting, stockholders elected Mohit Daswani as a Class I director, ratified Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor for 2026, approved on an advisory basis the compensation of named executive officers, and advised that say‑on‑pay votes be held every year. A quorum of 38,350,851 shares, representing 83.55% of voting power, participated.

Oportun Financial Corporation reported solid profitability for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Total revenue was $233.2 million, essentially flat versus $234.3 million a year earlier.

Aggregate originations were $487.7 million, up 1% year-over-year, and portfolio yield improved to 33.3%. Net interest margin ratio expanded to 29.0%, helped by a lower cost of debt of 6.3% versus 8.6% a year ago, driven by balance sheet optimization and debt repayment. Total operating expense fell 5% to $90.0 million; Adjusted Operating Expense declined similarly to $84.1 million. The 30-plus day delinquency rate improved to 4.0% from 4.4%, while annualized net charge-offs were stable at 12.0% with $79 million of net charge-offs.

As of June 30, 2026, cash and restricted cash totaled $212.4 million, and the company had $880 million of undrawn personal loan warehouse capacity committed through 2028–2030. Secured personal loan receivables were $245 million, 9% of owned principal balance. For Q3 2026, Oportun guides to revenue of $235–$240 million, annualized net charge-off rate of 11.0% +/- 15 bps, and Adjusted EBITDA of $43–$48 million. For full year 2026, it expects revenue of $935–$955 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $160–$175 million, Adjusted Net Income of $74.1–$82.0 million, and Adjusted EPS of $1.50–$1.65, and has raised its full-year Adjusted EBITDA outlook and modestly improved its net charge-off range.

Oportun Financial Corporation entered into a new Program Management Agreement with Column National Association effective June 30, 2026, creating a new lending program. Column will originate certain unsecured personal loans for consumers in select states, while Oportun provides the technology platform, marketing, application processing, fraud-prevention, servicing and administration services under Column’s oversight.

The agreement allows Oportun to purchase loans originated by Column, except those Column retains, and includes exclusivity provisions for specified loan products and some future financial products, subject to existing bank partner rights and other exceptions. It runs for an initial term of four years and then automatically renews each year unless either party gives timely notice of non-renewal.

Oportun Financial Corporation entered into a letter agreement with Bradley L. Radoff and The Radoff Family Foundation. Two current Class I directors will retire from the board no later than the conclusion of the company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Radoff Parties agreed to standstill restrictions, including not acquiring more than 4.9 percent of the company’s outstanding voting securities, limits on proxy solicitations, and restrictions on certain extraordinary transactions, subject to exceptions. During the Restricted Period, they will generally vote their shares in line with the board’s recommendations, with limited exceptions tied to proxy advisory firm views and extraordinary transaction proposals.

Both sides agreed to mutual non-disparagement and not to sue each other during the Restricted Period, subject to exceptions. Oportun will reimburse the Radoff Parties for reasonable, documented out-of-pocket legal and other expenses. The agreement remains in effect until a date tied to the 2028 director nomination deadline.

The company ended the quarter with $209.9 million of cash and restricted cash and maintained a sixth consecutive GAAP-profitable quarter. For full-year 2026, Oportun reiterated guidance, including total revenue of $935–$955 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $150–$165 million, Adjusted Net Income of $74–$82 million and Adjusted EPS of $1.50–$1.65, implying mid-teens adjusted earnings growth at the midpoint.

Oportun Financial Corporation appointed Doug Bland as Chief Executive Officer and principal executive officer, effective April 20, 2026. He also joins the Board as a Class III director, while prior co-principal executive officers Kathleen Layton and Gaurav Rana return to their existing functional roles.

Under his offer letter, Bland receives a $750,000 annual base salary, a target annual bonus equal to 125% of salary, a $500,000 cash signing bonus paid in four quarterly installments, and a $500,000 long-term cash retention award vesting over three years.

Effective April 4, 2026, Chief Legal Officer Kate (Kathleen) Layton and Senior Vice President, General Manager, Lending Gaurav Rana will jointly lead the company through an Office of the CEO, serving as co-principal executive officers on an interim basis while the board continues its search for a permanent CEO. Both will retain their existing roles and receive a $35,000 monthly base salary increase during their tenure in the Office of the CEO, on top of current base salaries of $450,000 for Ms. Layton and $435,750 for Mr. Rana, plus existing bonus and equity eligibility.

Oportun Financial Corporation returned to profitability in 2025 and raised its outlook for 2026. Full year 2025 GAAP net income was $25.2M, up $104M from a $78.7M loss in 2024, while total revenue slipped to $956.7M from $1,001.8M.

GAAP diluted EPS reached $0.53 and Adjusted EPS rose 89% to $1.36. Adjusted EBITDA grew 42% to $148.4M as operating expenses fell 12% to $361.8M. Credit performance remained stable, with a full year net charge-off rate of 12.0% and 30+ day delinquencies of 4.9%.

Oportun Financial Corporation completed a new asset-backed securitization, issuing about $485 million of two-year revolving fixed-rate notes backed by unsecured and secured personal installment loans. The deal includes five classes of notes, all rated by Fitch from AAA on the senior class down to BB- on the subordinated tranche.

The 2026-A transaction carries a weighted average coupon of 5.25% and a weighted average yield of 5.32%, which the company notes is 45 basis points lower than its October 2025 ABS deal and its fourth consecutive sub-6% ABS transaction. Oportun states it has raised more than $1.9 billion through the ABS market over the last nine months.

The company also highlights balance sheet improvements, saying strong core business performance enabled it to repay $70 million of corporate debt in 2025, including $37.5 million during the fourth quarter, as it continues to focus on lowering its cost of capital.

Oportun Financial Corporation is planning a leadership change, with CEO Raul Vazquez agreeing to step down as chief executive and board member. He will remain CEO and a director until a new CEO is appointed, but no later than April 3, 2026, and then continue as an advisor until July 1, 2026, to support the transition. The company states his transition is not related to any disagreement.

Under a transition agreement, Vazquez keeps his base salary, benefits and equity vesting while employed, remains eligible for a 2025 bonus if he stays through April 3, 2026, and then receives cash severance of $1,102,500 over 18 months plus a prorated payment based on $918,750. Oportun will pay up to 18 months of COBRA premiums, fully vest his unvested time-based restricted stock units, and allow certain 2025 performance-based units to remain eligible to vest under specified conditions. During a subsequent advisory period through July 3, 2026, he will be paid $61,250 per month. The company also furnished a press release with preliminary unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

Oportun Financial Corporation furnished an 8-K announcing financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, via a press release attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The company noted that the information in this report, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and not filed under the Exchange Act, which means it is not subject to Section 18 liability and is not incorporated by reference unless expressly stated.

Oportun Financial Corporation expanded its funding capacity. The company entered a new three-year personal loan warehouse facility with approximately $247 million of borrowing capacity. Borrowings accrue interest at no greater than Term SOFR plus a weighted average spread up to 2.58%, with a 95.0% advance rate that can step down to 92.0% if default, delinquency, or liquidity triggers occur. The agreement includes customary representations, covenants on leverage, tangible net worth, and minimum unrestricted cash, and standard events of default that could allow lenders to accelerate repayment.

Separately, Oportun issued approximately $441 million of two-year revolving fixed-rate asset-backed notes through Oportun Issuance Trust 2025-D. The five note classes were privately placed under Rule 144A, with a weighted average yield of 5.77% and a weighted average coupon of 5.69%.

Oportun Financial Corp (OPRT) filed an 8-K containing forward-looking statements about an amendment to a Program Agreement that the company expects will eliminate derivative accounting associated with that agreement. The filing says the amendment relates to the timing, structure and anticipated purchase price of future loan purchases under the Program Agreement and notes the company plans to use existing warehouse financing vehicles to fund such purchases. It emphasizes these are forward-looking statements subject to risks including the parties' ability to satisfy closing conditions, the performance of the loan portfolio and prevailing economic conditions.

Oportun Financial Corporation amended its Current Report to disclose the appointment of Warren Wilcox to the board and to update board composition and non-employee director compensation. Mr. Wilcox will receive $50,000 annual cash for board service, $10,000 for Audit and Risk Committee service, and $7,500 for Compensation and Leadership Committee service, paid quarterly and prorated. He was granted a restricted stock unit award under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan with an annual value of $125,000, prorated from appointment, vesting in four equal installments and fully vesting on July 18, 2026 subject to continued service.

The transaction consists of five classes of fixed‑rate notes sold in a private placement under Rule 144A, with a weighted average yield of 5.29% per year and a weighted average coupon of 5.23% per year. The notes were issued under an indenture between the trust and Wilmington Trust, National Association, which acts as indenture trustee, securities intermediary and depositary bank.
