Findell Capital Reiterates Desire for Compromise
at Oportun Financial and Issues Statement on Behalf of Scott Parker
NEW YORK, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Findell
Capital Partners, LP, (together with its affiliates, “Findell,” “we” or “us”) one of the largest stockholders
of Oportun Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: OPRT) (“Oportun” or the “Company”), today issued the following statement:
“We remain committed to reaching a good
faith settlement with the Company in order to resolve this situation in a manner that can benefit all stockholders. We firmly believe
that compromise can result in improved corporate governance and enhanced value creation under the leadership of directors that possess
lending expertise.
We believe those goals can be accomplished
by the addition of the experienced and highly qualified Warren Wilcox to the Company’s Board of Directors. We also believe stockholders
would be well served by the continued service of Scott Parker, who brought necessary expertise as a former public company CFO and consumer
lending executive to his role as a director.
We urge the Board to put an end to the millions
of dollars in stockholder capital that is being wasted to fight one of the Company’s largest owners. We are ready and willing to
engage with the Company on an outcome that will benefit all stockholders.”
Scott Parker, former independent director on
the Company’s Board, added:
“I was willing to serve as a board member
and continue to believe my prior experience and industry knowledge can help further enhance shareholder value at Oportun through strong
board oversight.”
