MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jefferson Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ:JCAP) ("Jefferson Capital"), announced today the launch of an offering (the "Offering") of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2030 (the "Add-On Notes") by Jefferson Capital Holdings, LLC (the "Issuer"), its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. The Add-On Notes will be initially fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Issuer’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries. The Add-On Notes are being offered as additional notes under the Indenture, dated as of May 2, 2025, pursuant to which the Issuer previously issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.250% senior notes due 2030 (the "Existing Notes" and, together with the Add-On Notes, the "Notes").

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering (i) to repay a portion of the borrowings currently outstanding under its revolving credit facility and (ii) the remainder, if any, for general corporate purposes. The Issuer may in the future reborrow amounts under its revolving credit facility to, among other things, purchase portfolios and fund acquisitions.

The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release is for informational purposes only. It does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the Notes or any other securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
