BayFirst Financial Corp. Calls Special Meeting for Capital Raise Vote
BayFirst Financial Corp. (BAFN) is holding a Special Meeting of Shareholders on July 14, 2026, to vote on three proposals critical to its recent $80 million capital raise.

Shareholders will vote on approving the issuance of common stock upon conversion of these preferred shares, amending the articles of incorporation to increase authorized shares, and potentially adjourning the meeting.
