Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 20, 2026, Jefferson Capital Holdings, LLC (the “Issuer”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Jefferson Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of 8.250% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Add-On Notes”), pursuant to an indenture, dated as of May 2, 2025 (the “Existing Indenture”), among the Issuer, the guarantors thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as further supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated August 20, 2026 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Existing Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the guarantors thereto and the Trustee. The Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by JCAP Funding Intermediate LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“JCAP Funding”), Canaccede U.S. Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Canaccede”) and CFG Canada Funding Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CFG” and, together with JCAP Funding and Canaccede, the “Guarantors”). The Add-On Notes were offered and sold either to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or to persons outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act.
Pursuant to the Indenture, interest on the Add-On Notes will accrue at a rate of 8.250% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15, commencing November 15, 2026. The Add-On Notes will mature on May 15, 2030, subject to earlier repurchase or redemption. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from this offering (i) to repay a portion of the borrowings currently outstanding under the Issuer’s Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) the remainder, if any, for general corporate purposes. The Issuer may in the future reborrow amounts under the Issuer’s Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, purchase portfolios, fund acquisitions.
The Issuer may redeem the Add-On Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2027 at certain specified redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. In addition, at any time prior to May 15, 2027, the Issuer may redeem the Add-On Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Add-On Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including, the redemption date plus an applicable “make-whole” premium. At any time prior to May 15, 2027, the Issuer may also redeem up to 40.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Add-On Notes issued under the Indenture with net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.250% of the principal amount of the Add-On Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the redemption date.
The Indenture contains customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or the Notes and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The Indenture also contains customary negative covenants.
The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Add-On Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Existing Indenture, the form of 8.250% Senior Notes due 2030 and the Supplemental Indenture, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
