On November 6, 2025, the Company and First Western SBLC, Inc., a Florida corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Western”) and which represents the Company’s lending business which originates loans under the SBA 7(a) Program, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Membership Interest Purchase Agreement”), with PG FR Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, Buyer will purchase from the Company all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of First Western (the “Transactions”). The Company estimates that, pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and based on information related to First Western’s assets and other matters as of

Upon the Closing and giving effect to the payment of other debt, transaction expenses and other matters, the Transactions are expected to yield net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $31 million.
