#### Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 14, 2025, Oportun Financial Corporation (the "Company") entered into a letter agreement (the "Agreement") with Findell Capital Management LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Findell").

Pursuant to the Agreement, on the day following the conclusion of the Company's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, Warren Wilcox will join the Company's board of directors (the "Board") as a Class III director with a term expiring at the Company's 2028 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2028 Annual Meeting").

In addition, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by each party, the Agreement will remain in effect until 11:59 p.m., Pacific time, on the day that is 15 days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations of directors for the 2028 Annual Meeting (such period, the "Restricted Period").

The Agreement further provides, among other things, that:

• at or before the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, one person who joined the Board before February 7, 2024, will have retired from the Board and will not be standing for election as a member of the Board at such annual meeting;

• as long as Findell's aggregate net long ownership of the Company's common stock remains at or above five percent of the then-outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, if, prior to the conclusion of the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, Mr. Wilcox is no longer serving on the Board due to death or disability or resigns as a director or otherwise ceases to be a director for any reason, then Findell will be entitled to identify and propose a nominee for the replacement of such director, subject to the approval of the Board and such nominee meeting qualifications specified in the Agreement;

• Findell will be subject to customary standstill restrictions, including, among others, not (i) acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 9.9 percent of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company; (ii) soliciting proxies and related matters; and (iii) engaging or participating in certain extraordinary transactions involving the Company, each of the foregoing subject to certain exceptions;

• during the Restricted Period, Findell will vote all shares of voting securities of the Company beneficially owned by it and over which it has the right to vote in accordance with the Board's recommendations with respect to (i) the election or removal of directors of the Company and (ii) any other proposal submitted to stockholders of the Company, subject, in the case of clause (ii), to certain exceptions relating to proposals for which the recommendations made by Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC are inconsistent with the recommendation of the Board and to Findell's right to vote in its sole discretion on any proposal with respect to an extraordinary transaction;

• neither the Company nor Findell shall disparage or sue the other party, subject to certain exceptions; and

• the Company will reimburse Findell for up to $1.2 million of reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal and other expenses.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Effective as of the date of this Agreement, Company's Board of Directors (the "**Board**") and any applicable committees of the Board will take all action necessary (including increasing the size of the Board) to appoint Warren Wilcox (the "**New Director**") as a Class III director with a term expiring at Company's 2028 annual meeting of stockholders (the "**2028 Annual Meeting**"), with such appointment to be effective one day after the date of Company's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the "**2025 Annual Meeting**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Committee Membership*. Subject to applicable law, rule or regulation (including the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq (each as defined below)), Company agrees that, during the Restricted Period (as defined below), the New Director will be given the same due consideration for membership on any committees of the Board as any other independent director, including any new committee(s) and subcommittee(s) that may be established.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Compliance with Laws and Company Policies*. The Findell Signatories acknowledge that the New Director will be governed by the same laws, policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to members of the Board, including Company's corporate governance guidelines, code of business conduct and ethics, insider trading policy, Regulation FD policy and related party transactions policy, in each case, in effect and as amended from time to time (collectively, the "**Company Policies**"). The Findell Signatories acknowledge that, unless otherwise informed by Company in writing, (a) they do not have the right to receive confidential information concerning the Company from the New Director; and (b) neither Company nor the Board has authorized the New Director to share any such confidential information with any member of the Findell Group.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *No Fiduciary Restriction*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Company acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the New Director, during the New Director's service as a director of Company, from acting in the New Director's capacity as a director of Company or from complying with the New Director's fiduciary duties as a director of Company (including voting on any matter submitted for consideration by the Board, participating in deliberations or discussions of the Board, and making suggestions or raising any issues or recommendations to the Board).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Other Board Changes*. Company agrees that at or before Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the "**2026 Annual Meeting**"), one person who joined the Board before February 7, 2024, will have retired from the Board and will not be standing for election as a member of the Board at such annual meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Voting Commitment</u>. During the Restricted Period, at each annual or special meeting of Company's stockholders (including any adjournments, postponements or other delays thereof) or in connection with any action by written consent, the Findell Signatories will cause all Voting Securities that are beneficially owned by the Findell Group and that the Findell Group has the right to vote to be (a) present for quorum purposes (if applicable) and (b) voted or consented (i) in favor of the election of each person recommended by the Board for election as a director; (ii) against any proposals or resolutions to remove any member of the Board; and (iii) in accordance with the recommendation of the Board on all other proposals or business that may be the subject of stockholder action at such meeting or action by written consent, except that (A) if Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("**ISS**") and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC ("**Glass Lewis**") recommend a vote inconsistent with the recommendation of the Board with respect to any proposals or business (other than the election or removal of directors) at such meeting or action by written consent, then each member of the Findell Group will be permitted to vote in accordance with such ISS and Glass Lewis recommendation; and (B) each member of the Findell Group will be permitted to vote in its sole discretion on any proposal with respect to an Extraordinary Transaction (as defined below). The Findell Signatories will use commercially reasonable efforts (including by calling back loaned out shares) to ensure that the Findell Group has voting power for any Voting Securities owned by the Findell Group on the record date for each annual or special meeting of Company's stockholders (including any adjournments, postponements or other delays thereof) or action by written consent.
