  • Regulatory risk: merger requires REFI’s majority-of-the-minority stockholder approval and Rule 17a-8 approvals
  • Operational risk: merger pendency may divert management attention, disrupt borrower relationships, and impair employee retention
  • Financial risk: exchange-ratio changes from credit losses, loan valuations, and July 2026 issuance may reduce shares received by REFI stockholders
