Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

NEW YORK, May 14, 2026 --- Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. (“LIEN” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LIEN), a specialty finance company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

Peter Sack, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “Chicago Atlantic BDC delivered record results this quarter, demonstrating the benefits of our differentiated strategy. While the broader private credit markets have experienced pressure regarding portfolio performance, dividend coverage concerns and interest rate uncertainty, Chicago Atlantic BDC has become stronger this quarter, funding a record level of $93.9 million of investments and growing the portfolio to a new peak of $364.0 million. We also generated record net investment income per share of $0.44, while maintaining a weighted average yield of 15.8%, well above the industry averages.”

Mr. Sack continued, “We remain confident in the opportunity set for our differentiated model of self-originating direct lending opportunities to cannabis and lower middle market companies. A recent policy change by the Federal government to reschedule medical cannabis represents the most significant federal policy shift in decades and is a notable policy inflection point that we expect will enhance borrower credit quality and improve industry fundamentals over time. We remain conservative in our strategic execution but are encouraged by the recent momentum.”

Portfolio and Investment Activity

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, total investment income was approximately $16.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred net expenses of approximately $6.7 million, resulting in net investment income of approximately $10.0 million, or $0.44 per weighted average share, and a net increase in net assets from operations of approximately $8.5 million, or $0.37 per weighted average share.

Net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $1.4 million reflected the impact across the portfolio of the widening of credit spreads during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $48.8 million of liquidity including $3.3 million of cash and $45.5 million of borrowings available to be drawn on its $100.0 million senior credit facility, which is subject to certain borrowing base requirements and other restrictions. As of May 13, 2026, the Company has $50.0 million outstanding on its senior credit facility and approximately $51.5 million of liquidity.

Subsequent Event

On May 11, 2026 the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that once declared effective, will allow the Company to issue up to $500 million of securities, including debt securities. The shelf registration is intended to provide the Company with enhanced financial flexibility to efficiently access the capital markets to grow the Company’s portfolio.

Net Asset Value

As of March 31, 2026, NAV per share was $13.33 compared with $13.30 as of December 31, 2025. Total net assets as of March 31, 2026, were $304.2 million compared to $303.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

LOW CORRELATIONS TO TRADITIONAL MARKETS Medical cannabis behaves like pharmaceuticals, recreational cannabis behaves like tobacco and alcohol, both exhibiting low correlation with traditional markets. HIGH BARRIERS TO ENTRY Each state has unique investment characteristics, supply and demand dynamics, and legal frameworks, requiring sophisticated understanding of the industry and strong underwriting expertise. FOCUS ON LIMITED LICENSE STATES Limited license states have limited competition, lucrative license values, high wholesale prices, and less black-market presence.

CONFIDENTIAL| Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. 19 Potential Benefits of Regulatory Reform INCREASED MARKET OPPORTUNITIES Renewed federal momentum around cannabis reform following President Trump's December executive order and the rescheduling of medical cannabis in April '26 has revived the possibility of additional reforms and broader regulatory clarity. Further progress on recreational rescheduling could materially improve operator cash flow, expand access to capital, and reopen strategic financing opportunities across the industry.1 ENHANCED SALES THROUGH CREDIT CARD PROCESSING Allowing dispensaries to process credit card transactions may lead to a significant boost in sales. IMPROVED EQUITY VALUATIONS As investor confidence grows, equity valuations are likely to tick higher, providing additional incentives for investment and increased credit protection. INCREASED ATTRACTIVENESS FOR ACQUISITION Further legalization could create more favorable conditions and increase portfolio attractiveness for potential acquirers (such as private equity or private credit funds), while make-whole provisions and pre-payment penalties provide additional appeal. FAVORABLE COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE Significant barriers to entry, such as stringent financial requirements and industry- specific knowledge, is likely to keep the market relatively stable and prevent an inundation of competitors over the next several years. 1 – https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahsinclair/2025/12/18/trump-signs-executive-order-to-reschedule-cannabis-heres-what-it-means/

CONFIDENTIAL| Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. 22 Pro Forma Portfolio Investment Portfolio Highlights: Footnote Legend Based on data as of 3/31/2026, unless otherwise noted. Weighted average amounts are weighted by the fair market value of each respective investment. 1. Weighted Average Portfolio Yield on Debt Investments ("Portfolio Yield") is the weighted average of the annualized yield for each debt investment in the portfolio weighted by the fair value of each debt investment as of 3/31/2026. The yield for each debt investment is calculated by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the stated annual cash interest rate of the debt investment as of 3/31/2026, (ii) the stated annual payment-in-kind interest rate, if any, of the debt investment as of 3/31/2026, (iii) any additional recurring fees, (iv) the difference between the par value and the fair value of the debt investment, expressed as a percentage of the par value of the debt investment, and annualized based on the remaining term of the debt investment as of 3/31/2026, and (v) the exit fee of the debt investment, if any, expressed as a percentage of the par value of the debt investment and annualized based on the remaining term of the debt investment as of 3/31/2026, by (b) the fair value of the debt investment, expressed as a percentage of the par value of the debt investment. The Portfolio Yield calculation does not reflect any prepayment penalties or early payoffs with respect to the debt investments. The Portfolio Yield is gross of expenses and excludes cash and equity holdings. The Portfolio Yield would be lower if the calculation reflected expenses and cash holdings. The Portfolio Yield does not represent actual investment returns to the Company's stockholders and the Company may not actually realize the foregoing yield of any specific debt investment, including if the remaining term of the debt investment is less than a year. 2. Represents the percentage of total annual interest expected to be received in kind instead of in cash. The Company has no PIK interest that was introduced post-origination that replaces previously required cash interest, typically due to amendments, covenant breaches, or restructurings. 3. Amounts were derived from the portfolio company financial statements used in connection with determining the investment valuations as of 3/31/2026, have not been independently verified by the Company, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, the Company makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information. 4. Excluded from the data is information in respect of portfolio companies with negative or de minimis EBITDA, or where EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk.
