What Caliber agreed with its noteholders
| Piece | Principal | What happens to it |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange | About $2.9 million | New five-year notes at 6.0% a year, amortizing monthly |

Why a debt deal moves this stock
The size of the problem is the reason. In its latest periodic report Caliber disclosed $21.1 million of unsecured corporate and convertible notes maturing within twelve months. Today's agreements cover about 54% of that wall, leaving roughly $9.8 million still due in the next year.
The retirement option is where the value sits. Paying about $7.3 million for $9.1 million of principal would remove about $1.8 million of debt, a discount of about 19.8%. It is an option, though. Caliber has not yet raised all of the cash it needs to exercise it, and the company named asset sales, refinancings, distributable cash flow from its funds and sales of real estate it holds directly as the expected sources.
The exchange cuts the interest rate and raises the cash bill at the same time. The exchanged notes carried a weighted average rate of about 11.5%; the new notes pay 6.0%, about 48% lower. Because the new notes amortize monthly instead of being repaid at maturity, scheduled cash debt service rises to about $0.5 million a year.
Caliber's record on its notes
This is the latest step in a program that has been shrinking the note stack through exchanges and conversions into equity. At June 30, 2026, Caliber had 148 unsecured notes with $26.2 million of principal, down from $33.0 million a year earlier. In April 2026 the second round of its Noteholder Conversion Program repaid about $1.9 million of notes with Class A common stock and about $1.5 million with Series AAA preferred stock, so part of the debt reduction has come through issuing new equity.
- April 2026: Second round of the Noteholder Conversion Program repays about $1.9 million of notes in Class A common stock and about $1.5 million in Series AAA preferred.
- June 30, 2026: 148 unsecured notes outstanding, $26.2 million of principal.
- August 13, 2026: Second-quarter results; 2026 revenue guidance of $18 million to $22 million is reaffirmed. The stock was at $0.6243 when that guidance crossed.
- September 14, 2026: About $3.4 million refinanced and a six-month option to retire $9.1 million of notes for about $7.3 million.
