ZimCal Asset Management, LLC and Its Affiliates Nominate Two Highly Qualified, Independent Candidates to the Board of Medallion Financial Corp.

  • Medallion Financial Corp. stock price is down 40% over the last 10 years.
  • ZimCal seeks changes in leadership and governance and believes the current Board lacks independence and has rewarded management at the expense of stockholders.
  • ZimCal sees heightened near-term risk factors given Medallion’s material subprime exposure, worsening charge-offs and poor history of loss mitigation.
  • ZimCal sees tremendous growth and long-term profit potential for the Company with the right governance, management and business strategy in place.
  • ZimCal launches campaign website www.restoretheshine.com.

ZimCal Asset Management, LLC, and its affiliates BIMIZCI Fund LLC, Warnke Investments LLC and Stephen Hodges (collectively “ZimCal”) one of the largest investors in Medallion Financial Corp. (the “Company” or “MFIN”) with over $15.5 million in debt and equity investment exposure, filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with its nomination of two independent Board candidates for election to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

ZimCal’s nominees have a combined 40 years of financial experience in areas including banking, consumer lending, securitization, credit analysis and capital markets.
