Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 25, 2024, Medallion Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement") with a certain institutional investor relating to the private placement of $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8.875% Senior Notes due 2039. In connection with such private placement, the Company’s existing $12.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9.00% Senior Notes due 2033 are being canceled and replaced with new 8.875% Senior Notes due 2039, for a total aggregate principal amount of $17.5 million (the "Notes"). Closing of the issuance and sale of the Notes occurred on June 25, 2024. The private placement of the Notes was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will mature on June 30, 2039 and bear a fixed interest rate of 8.875% per year. Interest payments on the Notes are payable semiannually on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on June 30, 2024. The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company, ranking pari passu with the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
