MINNEAPOLIS, MN / ACCESS Newswire / January 23, 2026 / Lendway, Inc. (Nasdaq:LDWY) (the "Company") today announced its plan to conduct a strategic rights offering which is intended to significantly reduce the Company's debt and strengthen its balance sheet.

Additionally, the Company intends to use a majority of the remaining proceeds from the rights offering to pay off a material amount of other outstanding debt, which is further expected to increase earnings and allow the Company to invest in future growth opportunities as they come. Assuming the successful completion of the rights offering, the Company's overall debt would be reduced by up to 40% immediately following the rights offering, and is expected to be potentially down as much as 70% early this Summer, concluding our busy season.
