Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 26, 2025, Oportun Financial Corporation (the “Company”) through its subsidiary, Oportun, Inc., (“Oportun”) entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Program Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Pathward, National Association (“Pathward”). The Amendment modifies certain terms of the Amended and Restated Program Agreement dated August 11, 2025, between Oportun and Pathward (the “Program Agreement”).
Under the Amendment, Pathward will cease retaining Oportun loans by the end of February 2026, thereby simplifying the structure of the partnership. As a result, the Company expects that the derivative accounting associated with the Program Agreement will be eliminated.
Among other things, the Amendment provides that, effective October 1, 2025, Pathward will sell to Oportun, and Oportun will purchase from Pathward, 100% of all loans originated by Pathward under the program with disbursement dates on or after October 1, 2025. As a result, as of that date, the retained loan balance obligations under the Program Agreement will be eliminated. Pathward will continue to hold all loans originated for a mutually agreed upon time period following origination and prior to sale to Oportun.
The Amendment also establishes the commitment for Oportun to purchase Pathward’s existing retained loan portfolio. The initial purchase, reflecting the preponderance of the purchase price of Pathward’s existing retained loan portfolio, is scheduled to close on October 3, 2025. The initial purchase will consist of all loans originated and disbursed on or before September 30, 2025, that are current or up to 29 days delinquent as of that date. The purchase price will equal the principal amount of such loans plus any capitalized origination fees, accrued and unpaid interest, and applicable taxes, less any borrower payments or recoveries received prior to closing. The Company anticipates the aggregate unpaid principal balance and associated amounts to be acquired in this initial purchase will be approximately $115 million and expects to use its existing warehouse facilities to fund the purchase.
The Amendment provides for subsequent purchases of remaining retained loans held by Pathward between October 2025 and February 2026, as well as certain adjustments to the bank origination fee, modifications to the performance reserve requirements, and the removal of provisions relating to retained loan loss rates.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2025.
