• Proposed Reverse Stock Split to Avoid Delisting

  Shareholders will vote on an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split, ranging from an unspecified ratio, to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum $1.00 bid price requirement. The company received a delisting notice on January 7, 2026, with a compliance deadline of July 6, 2026.

• Approval of Significant Warrant Issuance and Repricing

  The company seeks approval for the issuance of over 19.99% of its outstanding common stock upon the exercise of warrants from a December 2025 financing transaction that raised $6 million, and the repricing of 3,472,740 warrants originally issued in December 2024 (from $2.95 to $0.87 per share). The total shares issuable from these warrants is 12,627,670, representing material potential dilution.

• High Executive Compensation Amidst Substantial Losses

  In 2025, CEO Bruce Rodgers received $1.46 million in 'compensation actually paid,' while other named executive officers received an average of $735,624. This compensation totals over $2.1 million, contrasting sharply with the company's reported $27 million net loss for the same year.

This preliminary proxy statement reveals critical proposals for LM Funding America's upcoming annual meeting, highlighting severe financial and operational challenges. The company is seeking shareholder approval for a reverse stock split, a direct response to a Nasdaq delisting notice received in January 2026 due to its sub-$1.00 share price. Failure to approve and implement this could lead to delisting, significantly impacting liquidity and investor confidence. Additionally, shareholders must approve the issuance of over 19.99% of outstanding common stock from warrants tied to a December 2025 financing that generated $6 million in gross proceeds, and the repricing of older warrants. This past capital raise, while substantial for the company, involved significant dilution and concessions to investors. The filing also details substantial executive compensation, with the CEO and other named executive officers receiving over $2.1 million in 'compensation actually paid' in 2025, despite the company reporting a staggering $27 million net loss for the same year. These factors collectively paint a picture of a company under considerable pressure, attempting to navigate delisting risks and past dilutive financing while maintaining high executive pay amidst significant losses.
