Western Alliance said counterparties tied to Jefferies will not repay the remaining $126.4 million loan balance and will stop payments, so the bank will record a non-cash impairment charge of the same amount in the first quarter of 2026. Management says planned securities gains and expense cuts should offset $100 million of the charge, leaving a $26 million gap, and it still expects another profitable quarter.
Counterparties will not make a $42.125 million principal payment and will discontinue future payments; the outstanding balance is $126.4 million.
The bank filed a complaint in New York Supreme Court on March 6, 2026, alleging breach of contract and fraud.
Management targets $100 million of offsets: $50 million of securities gains (about $45 million realized quarter-to-date) and $50 million of expense savings.
The after-tax impact would reduce the year-end 2025 CET1 ratio by only 7 basis points, according to the company.
