**Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.** 

A portion of Medallion Financial Corp.'s consolidated borrowings ($73.5 million, or approximately 3%, as of March 31, 2026) are through debenture financing provided by the Small Business Administration (the "SBA") to our subsidiary Medallion Capital, Inc. ("Medallion Capital"). These SBA debentures provide us access to long-term borrowings (typically 10 years) at fixed rates with coupons typically less than other sources of capital available to us.

As previously disclosed, the SBA had informed us that we need to have Medallion Capital's management team reviewed through the SBA's licensing division; until successful completion of that review, Medallion Capital is not deemed by the SBA to have a qualified management team.

On March 31, 2026, Medallion Capital submitted a management team for review through the SBA's licensing division and shortly thereafter such submission, the SBA notified Medallion Capital that it has declared an event of default with respect to such debentures and directed Medallion Capital, within 120 days, to identify and submit at least one qualified candidate for consideration as a full-time principal and investment committee member of Medallion Capital. The SBA's notice and event of default do not trigger any cross-default clauses in any of Medallion Financial Corp.'s debt arrangements.

In subsequent discussions with the SBA, the SBA has indicated that Medallion Capital must supplement its submission by identifying and submitting at least one qualified candidate for consideration. Medallion Capital is currently in the process of identifying and submitting at least one qualified candidate in response to the above notice and discussions. If Medallion Capital fails to satisfy these requirements, the SBA may declare the debentures, including accrued interest thereon, and any other amounts owed SBA with respect thereto, immediately due and payable, and/or take any other remedy available under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended. While there can be no assurance that the SBA will accept Medallion Capital's position, with this supplement, Medallion Capital believes it will have a qualified management team.
