Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On July 14, 2026, the board of directors (the “Board”) of LM Funding America, Inc. (referred to herein as “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or similar references) approved a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to change the name of the Company to “PowerCompute, Inc.” (the “Name Change”). The Name Change and the Certificate of Amendment will be effective as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time on July 22, 2026. Pursuant to Delaware law, a stockholder vote was not necessary to effectuate the Name Change, and the Name Change does not affect the rights of the Company’s stockholders.

On July 20, 2026, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03.

In connection with the Name Change, the Company's common stock is expected to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol “PWCM” beginning at the open of trading on July 22, 2026. No action is required by stockholders in connection with the Name Change or ticker symbol change, and the Company's CUSIP number will remain unchanged.

In connection with the Name Change, the Board also approved an amendment and restatement of the amended and restated bylaws of the Company (the “Amended Bylaws”). The Amended Bylaws are effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on July 22, 2026. The changes in the Bylaws relate solely to the Name Change, and no substantive changes to the Bylaws were otherwise made. The foregoing description of the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Bylaws, which are attached as Exhibit 3.2 in redline form, marked to show the changes described above, and as Exhibit 3.3 in unmarked form and are each incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD.

On July 20, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the Name Change. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished, shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
