To Our Clients:
Enclosed for your consideration are the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange dated July 14, 2020 (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which together set forth the offer of Accel Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, to the holders of its warrants to receive 0.250 shares of the Company’s Class A-1 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A-1 Common Stock”) in exchange for each such warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”). The Offer is made solely upon the terms and conditions in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in the Letter of Transmittal. The Offer will be open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on August 11, 2020, or such later time and date to which the Company may extend. The period during which the Offer is open, giving effect to any withdrawal or extension, is referred to as the “Offer Period.” The date and time at which the Offer Period ends is referred to as the “Expiration Date.”
The Offer is being made to:
All holders of the Company’s warrants to purchase the Company’s Class A-1 Common Stock that were originally sold as part of the units issued in the Company’s initial public offering, which closed on June 30, 2017 (the “Pace IPO”), referred to as the “Pace Public Warrants.” The Pace Public Warrants entitle such warrant holders to purchase one share of Class A-1 Common Stock for a purchase price of $11.50, subject to certain adjustments. Our Class A-1 Common Stock and Accel Warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “ACEL,” and “ACEL.WS”, respectively. As of June 1, 2020, there were 14,999,982 Pace Public Warrants outstanding. The Company previously provided notice that it will redeem 100% of the Pace Public Warrants in accordance with their terms on July 16, 2020. Accordingly, although the Offer is extended to the Pace Public Warrants, the redemption of the Pace Public Warrants is expected to be consummated prior to the expiration of the Offer, and therefore no Pace Public Warrants will remain outstanding at the time the Offer is consummated. Following the redemption, Accel’s warrants may no longer meet the continued listing standards of the NYSE and may be delisted.
All holders of the Company’s Warrants to purchase the Company’s Class A-1 Common Stock that were (i) privately offered in connection with Pace IPO, based on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), referred to as the “Pace Private Placement Warrants”, (ii) privately offered in connection with the business combination consummated by the Company on November 20, 2019, referred to as the “Business Combination Private Placement Warrants” and (iii) issued in a registered offering in connection with the business combination, referred to as the “Accel Public Warrants” (collectively, referred to as the “Outstanding Warrants”, and the Outstanding Warrants together with the Pace Public Warrants, the “Accel Warrants”). The Outstanding Warrants entitle such warrantholders to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A-1 Common Stock for a purchase price of $11.50, subject to certain adjustments. As of June 1, 2020, there were 7,333,326 Outstanding Warrants, of which 5,683,378 were held by the Company’s affiliates. Pursuant to the Offer, the Company is offering up to an aggregate of 1,833,293 shares of the Company’s Class A-1 Common Stock in exchange for the Outstanding Warrants



Our Class A-1 Common Stock and Accel Warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “ACEL,” and “ACEL.WS”, respectively.

The Accel Public Warrants and the Business Combination Private Placement Warrants are governed by the Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2019, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Business Combination Warrant Agreement” and, together with the IPO Warrant Agreement, the “Warrant Agreements”).
