SHF Holdings, Inc. Form 8-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by SHF Holdings, Inc. (SHFS) on February 9, 2026, reporting events occurring on February 4, 2026. The filing details the entry into a Second Amended and Restated Commercial Alliance Agreement with Partner Colorado Credit Union (PCCU), effective retroactively to October 1, 2025.
Key Financial Metrics and Agreement Terms
The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt figures for the reporting period. Instead, it outlines the financial mechanics of the new alliance agreement:
- Yield and Loss Allocation: The Company receives up to 65% of net interest income on covered loans and indemnifies 65% of Default-Related Losses, with PCCU covering the remaining 35%.
- Adjustment Mechanism: The Company may adjust its indemnity ratio (not exceeding 65%) to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.
- Servicing Fees: The flat 1.0% asset hosting fee is replaced by a sliding scale ranging from 0.50% (for deposits under $25.0 million) to 1.25% (for deposits over $125.0 million) based on average daily balances.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The Second Amended CAA extends the term of the alliance through December 31, 2031, with automatic two-year renewals unless notice is provided 12 months prior to expiration. This represents a significant extension compared to the prior agreement dated December 30, 2024. Additionally, the fee structure has shifted from a fixed rate to a volume-based sliding scale, and new escrow provisions for proprietary software have been implemented.
Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Escrow and Default Provisions: The Company must deposit source code and technical documentation for its proprietary software into escrow. In the event of a default or bankruptcy, this software is released to PCCU, granting them a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to maintain, modify, and create derivative works of the software to continue operations.
Regulatory Compliance: The agreement includes a contingency allowing the Company to adjust its loss indemnification ratio to ensure continued compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
