What the filing says
Chicago Atlantic REFI reported Q2 2026 net income of $7.5M ($0.34/share, diluted), distributable earnings of $9.3M ($0.43/share), and $59.2M gross originations. On July 9, 2026, REFI issued 4,306,754 shares (16.8% dilution) to Koach Capital Funds at $14.53/share for $62.5M of second lien notes secured by 32 retail cannabis properties. The company remains on track to merge with affiliated BDC LIEN in Q4 2026 (NAV-for-NAV exchange; pro-forma REFI shareholders ~50.5% ownership post-close). Portfolio: $453.1M outstanding principal, 26 borrowers, 15.8% gross yield, 46.0% LTEV, 1.2x real estate coverage.
Why this rating
Merger is material but already publicly announced. Koach $62.5M capital infusion (~26% of company market cap) addresses leverage and provides growth capital; dilution ~16.8% is meaningful. Q2 earnings decline YoY; distributable earnings down 14% YoY. Combined events are substantial relative to $236.8M company size but execution risk remains until Q4 close.
