EmitenTrust.com  Five Top Agent Banks Subscribe, with J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Leading the Rollout

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Versana today announced the launch of Versana Loan Voting, a new digital technology solution designed to automate and streamline the amendment voting process across the broadly syndicated loan (BSL) and private credit markets. Five top agent banks have already subscribed to the platform, with J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America leading the rollout. Now available to all market participants, Versana Loan Voting brings self-service capabilities, transparency and scalability to one of the most time-sensitive, high-volume workflows in the $9 trillion loan asset class.

Amendments to credit agreements are a common part of the corporate loan lifecycle, largely driven by refinancings, repricings, maturity extensions or restructurings. With hundreds of amendments executed by thousands of lenders annually, demand for a modern, scalable and fully digital solution has grown rapidly across the market.

Loan voting is a time-sensitive process tied to borrower requests. The asset class has historically relied on manual workflows across spreadsheets, emails, phone calls and faxes, creating delays and limiting visibility. Versana Loan Voting transforms these disparate processes by bringing them onto a single platform using lender positions sourced from agents' systems.

"With the tremendous growth in loan issuance and the number of buy-side lenders over the years, amendment volumes have reached unprecedented levels, yet the infrastructure to scale has not kept pace," said Cynthia Sachs, Founding CEO at Versana. "We are transforming loan voting execution by enabling control, transparency and speed for agents while delivering greater position accuracy, visibility and confidence for lenders."

Versana Loan Voting expedites the amendment execution process and enables participating lenders to vote more efficiently across their fund entities. The result is a faster workflow, enabling agents to launch amendments with much greater ease, track voting results in real time and manage the loan lifecycle with more control.

Through Versana Loan Voting, lenders receive automated reminders to drive faster response times, while self-service capabilities allow asset managers to seamlessly add new funds and digitally submit votes. In addition, direct integration with agents' systems eliminates timing differences and manual reconciliation of lenders' positions to accelerate execution.

"Versana Loan Voting is helping to modernize the loan amendment process by digitizing complex processes and enhancing transparency among participants," said Joseph Ferraiolo, Head of Debt Capital Markets Operations & Merchant Bank Policy at J.P. Morgan. "This technology will enable our teams to move faster for our borrower clients, while laying the groundwork for straight-through processing to back-office ledgers, as well as more timely reconciliation and servicing."

"Speed and certainty matter when executing amendments for our borrower clients," said Jennifer DeFazio, Global COO, Leveraged Finance at Morgan Stanley. "Versana brings greater control and visibility to the voting process while making it easier for lenders to participate efficiently. That's an important step forward as the loan market continues to grow in both scale and complexity."

"Amendment and consent voting remains one of the most manual processes in the loan market," said Selin Aran, Chief Operating Officer for Global Capital Markets at Bank of America. "Connecting agents and lenders digitally on a single platform is a practical solution that benefits borrowers and investors alike."

The launch of Versana Loan Voting comes amid growing momentum for the company, including the recent digital integration of Barclays' agented BSL deals, the close of a $43 million capital raise and the introduction of a first-of-its-kind cashless roll solution linking amended facilities to their original issuance. These milestones position Versana for continued product innovation and broader industry adoption. With coverage of over 11,000 facilities and $4.8 trillion in active commitments, Versana continues to modernize the BSL and private credit markets through leading technology that leverages real-time information to offer best-in-class integrated digital workflow solutions.
