On December 29, 2025, BayFirst Financial Corp. amended the terms of its $6.0 million 4.5% subordinated notes due June 30, 2031, effective December 26, 2025, so that instead of making cash interest payments, the company will capitalize interest by adding it to the principal balance through June 30, 2026, and, if amounts remain unpaid at that date, may either pay holders an additional 3% of outstanding principal or increase the principal by 3%. As of December 31, 2025, the notes carried a principal of $6.0 million at 4.5% interest and the company also obtained agreement from First National Bankers Bank on December 30, 2025, to defer a quarterly interest payment on a $1.6 million term loan at 6.75% from December 10, 2025, to March 10, 2026, signaling a strategy to preserve liquidity and manage near-term cash outflows by restructuring and deferring interest obligations to creditors.
