PROXY STATEMENT

FOR 2019 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

If you are a stockholder of record, a printed set of the proxy materials will be sent to you.  If you are a beneficial owner, you will receive the proxy materials from your broker, bank or other intermediary forwarded with instructions on directing that organization how to vote your shares.

Please refer to the question entitled “What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record or as a beneficial owner?” below for important details regarding different forms of stock ownership.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2019 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROCEDURAL MATTERS

Q:          Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

A: The Board of Directors of International Money Express, Inc. (the “Company,” “Intermex,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is providing to you in printed form these proxy materials. We do this in order to solicit voting proxies for use at Intermex’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”), to be held Wednesday, June 26, 2019, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. If you are a stockholder of record and you submit your proxy to us, you direct certain of our officers to vote your shares of Intermex common stock in accordance with the voting instructions in your proxy. If you are a beneficial owner and you follow the voting instructions provided in the notice you receive from your broker, bank or other intermediary, you direct such organization to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. These proxy materials are being distributed to you on or about June 6, 2019. As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting and we request that you vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement.  The proxy materials are also available at https://www.cstproxy.com/intermex/2019.

Q:          Can I attend the 2019 Annual Meeting?

A: You may attend the 2019 Annual Meeting if, on June 5, 2019 (the “Record Date”), you were a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner. You will be asked to show photo identification and the following:

• If you are a stockholder of record, your paper proxy card; or

• If you are a beneficial owner, the proxy materials you received from your broker, bank or other intermediary, or a printed statement from such organization or online access to your brokerage or other account, showing your stock ownership on the Record Date.

We will not be able to accommodate guests without proper evidence of stock ownership as of the Record Date at the 2019 Annual Meeting, including guests of our stockholders.

The meeting will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time and you should leave ample time for the check-in procedures.

Q:          Where is the 2019 Annual Meeting?

A: The 2019 Annual Meeting will be held at Miami Marriott Dadeland, 9090 S. Dadeland Blvd., Miami, FL 33156. Stockholders may request directions to the 2019 Annual Meeting by calling (305) 671-8000 or by visiting https://investors.intermexonline.com/investor-relations.

Q:          Who is entitled to vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting?

A: You may vote your shares of Intermex common stock if you owned your shares at the close of business on the Record Date. You may cast one vote for each share of common stock held by you as of the Record Date on all matters presented. See the questions entitled “How can I vote my shares in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting?” and “How can I vote my shares without attending the 2019 Annual Meeting?” below for additional details.

As of the Record Date, holders of common stock were eligible to cast an aggregate of 37,982,855 votes at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

i

Q:          What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record or as a beneficial owner?

A: You are the “stockholder of record” of any shares that are registered directly in your name with Intermex’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have sent the proxy materials directly to you if you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder  of record, you may grant your voting proxy directly to Intermex or to a third party, or vote in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

You are the “beneficial owner” of any shares (which are considered to be held in “street name”) that are held on your behalf by a brokerage account or by a bank or another intermediary that is the stockholder of record for those shares. If you are a beneficial owner, you did not receive proxy materials directly from Intermex, but your broker, bank or other intermediary forwarded you proxy materials together with voting instructions for directing that organization how to vote your shares. You may also attend the 2019 Annual Meeting, but because a beneficial owner is not a stockholder of record, you may not vote in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the organization that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Q:          How can I vote my shares in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting?

A: You may vote shares for which you are the stockholder of record in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting. You may vote shares you hold beneficially in street name in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting only if you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or other intermediary that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also direct the voting of your shares as described below in the question entitled “How can I vote my shares without attending the 2019 Annual Meeting?” so that your vote will be counted even if you later decide not to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Q:          How can I vote my shares without attending the 2019 Annual Meeting?

A: Whether you hold shares as a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the 2019 Annual Meeting, by the following means:

By mail — If you elect to vote by mail, please complete, sign and date the proxy card where indicated and return it in the prepaid envelope included with the proxy card. Proxy cards submitted by mail must be received by the time of the meeting in order for your shares to be voted. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may vote by mail by completing, signing and dating the voting instructions in the notice provided by your broker, bank or other intermediary and mailing it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope.

Q:          How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the 2019 Annual Meeting?

A: The stockholders of record of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting must either (1) be present in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting or (2) have properly submitted a proxy in order to constitute a quorum at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote, and therefore are included for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the 2019 Annual Meeting. A broker “non-vote” occurs when an organization that is the stockholder of record that holds shares for a beneficial owner and that is otherwise counted as present or represented by proxy does not vote on a particular proposal because that organization does not have discretionary voting power under applicable regulations to vote on that item and has not received specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

Q:          What proposals will be voted on at the 2019 Annual Meeting?

A: The proposals scheduled to be voted on at the 2019 Annual Meeting are:

• The election of the two Class I directors listed in this proxy statement to serve for a term of three years or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified; and

• The ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as Intermex’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

ii

Q:          What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

A:	Proposal	Vote Required	Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed
	Proposal One — Election of Two Class I directors	Majority of the Shares Entitled to Vote and Present in Person or Represented by Proxy	No
	Proposal Two — Ratification of the appointment of independent registered public accounting firm	Majority of the Shares Entitled to Vote and Present in Person or Represented by Proxy	Yes

Q:          How are votes counted?

A: All shares entitled to vote and that are voted in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting will be counted, and all shares represented by properly executed and unrevoked proxies received prior to the 2019 Annual Meeting will be voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting as indicated in such proxies. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on each of the nominees for election as director (Proposal One) and on Proposal Two.

With respect to the election of directors, Intermex’s bylaws provide that in an uncontested election, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting of stockholders is required to elect a director.  Abstentions with respect to any director nominee (Proposal One) or Proposal Two will be deemed to be votes cast and have the same effect as a vote against such nominee or proposal. Consequently, each director nominee will be elected, and Proposal Two will be approved or ratified, as applicable, only if the number of shares voted “FOR” such nominee or Proposal exceeds the total number of shares voted “AGAINST” or to “ABSTAIN” with respect to such nominee or Proposal.

Q:          What is the effect of not casting a vote or if I submit a proxy but do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

A: If you are the stockholder of record and you do not vote by proxy card or in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting. If you submit a proxy, but you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.

If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide the organization that is the stockholder of record for your shares with voting instructions, the organization will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under applicable regulations, brokers and other intermediaries have the discretion to vote on routine matters such as Proposal Two but do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters such as Proposal One. Therefore, if you do not provide voting instructions to that organization, it may vote your shares only on Proposal Two and any other routine matters properly presented for a vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Q:          What is the effect of a broker non-vote?

A: An organization that holds shares of Intermex’s common stock for a beneficial owner will have the discretion to vote on routine proposals if it has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner at least ten days prior to the 2019 Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other intermediary that is otherwise counted as present or represented by proxy does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have the discretion to vote the shares. A broker non-vote will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the 2019 Annual Meeting, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote with respect to a particular proposal as to which that broker non-vote occurs. Thus, a broker non-vote will not impact our ability to obtain a quorum for the 2019 Annual Meeting and will not otherwise affect the outcome of the vote on a proposal that requires the approval of a majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote (Proposal One).

iii

Q:          How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?

A:          The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares:

•              “FOR” the two nominees for election as directors (Proposal One); and

• “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as Intermex’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 (Proposal Two).

Q:          What happens if additional matters are presented at the 2019 Annual Meeting?

A. If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the 2019 Annual Meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the 2019 Annual Meeting to another time or place, the persons named as proxy holders, Robert Lisy and Tony Lauro II, or any of them, will have discretion to vote the proxies held by them on those matters in accordance with their best judgment. Intermex does not currently anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Q:          Can I change my vote?

A: If you are the stockholder of record, you may change your vote (1) by submitting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) using any of the voting methods described above in the question entitled “How can I vote my shares without attending the 2019 Annual Meeting?”, (2) by providing a written notice of revocation to Intermex’s Corporate Secretary at International Money Express, Inc., 9480 S. Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33156 prior to your shares being voted, or (3) by attending the 2019 Annual Meeting and voting in person, which will supersede any proxy previously submitted by you. However, merely attending the meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically request it.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may generally change your vote by (1) submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other intermediary or (2) if you have obtained a legal proxy from the organization that holds your shares giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the 2019 Annual Meeting and voting in person. However, please consult that organization for any specific rules it may have regarding your ability to change your voting instructions.

Q:          What should I do if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?

A: You may receive more than one set of proxy materials, including multiple copies of proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you are a beneficial owner with shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate notice or voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a stockholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one set of proxy materials. Please complete, sign, date and return each Intermex proxy card or voting instruction card that you receive, and/or follow the voting instructions on each notice you receive, to ensure that all your shares are voted.

Q:          Is my vote confidential?

A: Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within Intermex or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary for applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation and certification of the votes and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally, stockholders provide written comments on their proxy cards, which may be forwarded to Intermex management.

Q:          Who will serve as inspector of election?

A:          The inspector of election will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

iv

Q:          Where can I find the voting results of the 2019 Annual Meeting?

A: We will publish final voting results in our Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed with the SEC and made available on its website at www.sec.gov within four (4) business days of the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Q:          Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the 2019 Annual Meeting?

A: Intermex will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes. We may reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, nominees, fiduciaries and other persons representing beneficial owners for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to those beneficial owners. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person or by other means. These directors, officers and employees will not be additionally compensated but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in doing so.

Q: What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?

A: You may submit proposals, including recommendations of director candidates, for consideration at future stockholder meetings.

For inclusion in Intermex’s proxy materials — Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in Intermex’s proxy statement and for consideration at the next annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals in writing to Intermex’s Corporate Secretary in a timely manner. In order to be included in the proxy statement for the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholder proposals must be received by Intermex’s Corporate Secretary no later than March 8, 2020, and must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

To be brought at annual meeting — In addition, you can find in Intermex’s bylaws an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present certain matters, including nominations for the election of directors, at an annual meeting of stockholders.

In general, Intermex’s bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will determine the business to be conducted at an annual meeting, including nominations for the election of directors, as specified in the Board of Directors’ notice of meeting or as properly brought at the meeting by the Board of Directors. However, a stockholder may also present at an annual meeting any business, including nominations for the election of directors, specified in a written notice properly delivered to Intermex’s Corporate Secretary within the Notice Period (as defined below), if the stockholder held shares at the time of the notice and the record date for the meeting. The notice must contain specified information about the proposed business or nominees and about the proponent stockholder. If a stockholder  who has delivered such a notice does not appear to present his or her proposal at the meeting, Intermex will not be required to present the proposal for a vote.

The “Notice Period” is the period not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the one year anniversary of the date on which Intermex mailed its proxy materials to stockholders for the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. As a result, the Notice Period for the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders will start on February 7, 2020 and end on March 8, 2020.

This is only a summary of the advance notice procedure. Complete details regarding all requirements that must be met are found in our bylaws. You can obtain a copy of the relevant bylaw provisions by writing to Intermex’s Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices at 9480 S. Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33156 or by accessing Intermex’s filings on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. All notices of proposals by stockholders, whether or not requested for inclusion in Intermex’s proxy materials, should be sent to Intermex’s Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices.

Q:          How may I obtain a separate copy of the proxy materials?

A: If you are a stockholder of record and share an address with another stockholder of record, each stockholder may not receive a separate copy of the proxy materials. Stockholders may request to receive separate or additional copies of the proxy materials by calling our Investor Relations department at (305) 671-8056 or by writing to International Money Express, Inc., 9480 S. Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33156, Attention: Investor Relations. Stockholders who share an address and receive multiple copies of the proxy materials can also request to receive a single copy by following the instructions above.  The proxy materials are also available at https://www.cstproxy.com/intermex/2019.

Q:          Who can help answer my questions?

A: Please contact our Investor Relations department by calling (305) 671-8056 or by writing to International Money Express, Inc., 9480 S. Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33156, Attention: Investor Relations or investors@intermexonline.com.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General

Intermex’s Board of Directors currently consists of eight members who are divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Our bylaws permit our Board of Directors to establish by resolution the authorized number of directors, and eight directors are currently authorized. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of an equal number of directors.

Nominees for Class I Directors

Two candidates have been nominated for election as Class I directors at the 2019 Annual Meeting for a three-year term expiring in 2022. Upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has nominated Justin Wender and Stephen Paul for re-election as Class I directors. Biographical information about each of the nominees is contained in the following section. A discussion of the qualifications, attributes and skills of each nominee that led our Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to the conclusion that he or she should continue to serve as a director follows each of the director and nominee biographies.

If you are a stockholder of record and you sign your proxy card but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted FOR the re-election of Mr. Wender and Mr. Paul. Each of Mr. Wender and Mr. Paul has accepted such nomination; however, in the event that a nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the 2019 Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by the Board of Directors to fill such vacancy. If you wish to give specific instructions with respect to the voting of directors, you may do so by indicating your instructions on your proxy card. If you are a beneficial owner holding your shares in street name and you do not give voting instructions to your broker, bank or other intermediary, that organization will leave your shares unvoted on this matter.

The Board of Director Recommends a Vote FOR

the Election of Justin Wender and Stephen Paul.

 Information Regarding the Board of Directors and Director Nominees

Our board of directors (“Board of Directors” or “Board”) is presently fixed at eight directors in accordance with the Company’s bylaws. The Board of Directors is divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. One class of directors is elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders for a term of three years. Each director holds office until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or the director’s earlier resignation, death or removal. The term of the Board’s Class I directors expires at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholder. The term of the Board’s Class II directors expires at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders and the term of the Board’s Class III expires at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

Set forth below are the name and age of each of the directors of the Company, positions with the Company, term of office as a director of the Company, business experience during the past five years or more, and additional biographical data as of May 31, 2019.  There is no family relationship between any of Company’s directors or executive officers. There are no arrangements between any director of the Company and any other person pursuant to which he/she was, or will be, selected as a director.

Kurt Holstein	58	Director	2018	II
Robert Jahn	39	Director	2018	II

Michael Purcell	62	Director	2018	III
John Rincon	54	Director	2018	II
Justin Wender	50	Director	2018	I

Robert Lisy has served as a director of the Company since 2018. Mr. Lisy served as a director of International Money Express Sub 2, LLC’s predecessor entities from 2009 to 2018. Mr. Lisy is the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and its predecessors, which he joined in 2009. Mr. Lisy has 17 years of experience in the retail financial services and electronic payment processing industry in various positions, including four years as the Chief Marketing and Sales Officer of Vigo Remittance Corp., a money transfer and bill payments service in the United States and internationally, and over seven years at Western Union in various sales, marketing and operational positions of increasing responsibility. Mr. Lisy was a founding partner of Direct Express/Paystation America, which offered, among other things, prepaid debit cards to federal benefit recipients, where he served as Chief Operating Officer and on the board of directors. He was an integral part in the efforts to successfully sell Direct Express in 2000 to American Payment Systems. Mr. Lisy holds a bachelor’s degree from Cleveland State University. We believe that Mr. Lisy’s experience as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intermex coupled with his extensive operational experience in the retail financial services and remittance industries make him well qualified to serve as a Director.

Adam Godfrey has served as a director of the Company since 2018. Mr. Godfrey served as a director of Intermex’s predecessor entity from 2006 to 2017. Mr. Godfrey is a Managing Partner of Stella Point Capital, which he co-founded in 2012. Stella Point Capital is a New York-based private equity firm focused on industrial, consumer and business services investments. Mr. Godfrey is an investment professional and has sourced and managed numerous investments for Stella Point Capital. Previously, Mr. Godfrey spent nearly 19 years with Lindsay Goldberg and its predecessor entities, which he joined in 1992. Mr. Godfrey was a Partner at the firm and served on the board of directors of 12 portfolio companies during his time with Lindsay Goldberg. Currently, he serves on the board of directors of First American Payment Systems Holdings, Inc., Rightpoint Consulting LLC, Vereco Holdings, LLC, American Orthodontics Corporation, and publicly traded Schneider National, Inc., where he currently serves as Chairman. Mr. Godfrey holds a bachelor’s degree from Brown University and a master’s degree in business administration from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. We believe that Mr. Godfrey’s extensive investment management and transactional experience coupled with his experience serving on boards of directors make him well qualified to serve as a Director.

Kurt Holstein joined the Board of Directors in 2018 upon completion of the merger among the Company, FinTech Acquisition Corp. II (“FinTech”) and certain other parties to the transaction (the “Merger”). Mr. Holstein is President of Azoic Ventures, Inc., an investment vehicle and advisory firm which he founded in 2011. Mr. Holstein co-founded Rosetta Marketing Group, which became one of the 5 largest independent digital agencies in the United States prior to its sale to a public company in 2011, where he served in various roles, including Chief Compliance Officer, President and Vice Chairman, and lead the execution of Rosetta’s significant acquisitions, financing rounds, and the sale of the firm. Previously, Mr. Holstein spent 16 years at Procter & Gamble with positions of increasing responsibility in management systems and brand management. Mr. Holstein serves on the boards of directors of several privately held companies, including Rightpoint Consulting LLC, 1-800 Contacts, 24 Hour Fitness, Brand Networks, and The Piseco Company. Mr. Holstein holds a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics for our directors, officers, employees and certain affiliates in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.intermexonline.com. If we amend or grant a waiver of one or more of the provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we intend to satisfy the requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding the disclosure of amendments to or waivers from provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer by posting the required information on the Company’s website at www.intermexonline.com. The information found on the website is not part of this proxy statement.

Director Independence

As a result of our Common Stock being listed on Nasdaq, Intermex adheres to the rules of such exchange in determining whether a director is independent.

Nasdaq listing rules require that a majority of the board of directors of a company listed on Nasdaq be composed of “independent directors,” which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors has determined that Michael Purcell, Kurt Holstein and John Rincon are independent directors under the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director had with FinTech and Intermex Holdings II, Inc. and has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Controlled Company Status

SPC Intermex, an affiliate of Stella Point, through the terms of the Shareholders Agreement continues to control a majority of the voting power of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:

• the requirement that a majority of our Board of Directors consist of independent directors;

• the requirement that we have a Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the Committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

• the requirement that we have a Compensation Committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the Committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

We utilize and intend to continue to utilize these exemptions. As a result, we do not currently have a majority of independent directors and our Compensation Committee and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee does not consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

Board Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

Intermex has established a separately standing audit committee, nominating and corporate governance committee and compensation committee.

During fiscal 2018, after the closing of the Merger, the Board of Directors held two meetings. In 2018, all directors attended or participated in 75% or more of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings of all committees of the Board of Directors on which such director served, in each case held during such director’s relevant period of service.

Audit Committee Information

Intermex has established an Audit Committee comprised of independent directors. The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Purcell, Holstein and Rincon, with Mr. Purcell serving as its chairman. Each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent under Nasdaq’s listing rules and under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee will at all times be composed exclusively of independent directors who are “financially literate” as defined under Nasdaq’s listing rules. The Nasdaq listing rules define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

In addition, the Company is required to certify to Nasdaq that the Audit Committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. We have determined that Mr. Purcell satisfies Nasdaq’s definition of financial sophistication and also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.

The purpose of the Audit Committee is, among other things, to appoint, retain, set compensation of, and supervise our independent accountants, review the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and review our accounting practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls.

The Audit Committee held four meetings during the last fiscal year.  The Audit Committee has a written charter that is available on the Company’s website at www.intermexonline.com.

The Audit Committee Report is included in this proxy statement on page 21.

Compensation Committee Information

Intermex has established a Compensation Committee consisting of Messrs. Godfrey and Jahn, with Mr. Godfrey serving as its chairman. Because we are a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq rules, our Compensation Committee is not required to be independent, although if such rules change in the future or we no longer meet the definition of a “controlled company” under the current rules, we will adjust the composition of the Compensation Committee accordingly in order to comply with such rules.

The purpose of the compensation committee is to review and approve compensation paid to our officers and directors and to administer incentive compensation plans, including authority to make and modify awards under such plans.

The Compensation Committee held two meetings and acted by unanimous written consent in one instance during the last fiscal year. The Compensation Committee has a written charter that is available on the Company’s website at www.intermexonline.com.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Information

Intermex has established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consisting of Messrs. Wender and Paul, with Mr. Wender serving as Chairman. Because we are a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq rules, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is not required to be independent, although if such rules change in the future or we no longer meet the definition of a “controlled company” under the current rules, we will adjust the composition of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee accordingly in order to comply with such rules.

7

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our Board of Directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting during the last fiscal year. The corporate Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has a written charter that is available on the Company’s website at www.intermexonline.com. The information on this website is not a part of this proxy statement.

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers persons identified by its members, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific Board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of Board members. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Compensation Committee has any relationship that would be required to be reported under Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. No member of the Compensation Committee serves or served during the fiscal year as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of a company that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Stockholder and Interested Party Communications

The Board of Directors of Intermex does not provide a process for stockholders or other interested parties to send communications to the Board of Directors because management believed that it was premature to develop such processes given the limited liquidity of Common Stock at that time; however, our management may establish a process for stockholder and interested party communications in the future.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the major risks facing the Company while management is responsible for assessing and mitigating the Company’s risks on a day-to-day basis. In addition, the Board has delegated oversight of certain categories of risk to the Audit and Compensation Committees. The Audit Committee reviews and discusses with management significant financial and nonfinancial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor, control and report such exposures. The Compensation Committee oversees management of risks relating to the Company’s compensation plans and programs. In performing their oversight responsibilities, the Board and Audit Committee periodically discuss with management the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Audit and Compensation Committees report to the Board as appropriate on matters that involve specific areas of risk that each Committee oversees.

Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders by the Board of Directors

Although Intermex does not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the Board of Directors at Intermex’s annual meeting of stockholders, Intermex encourages, but does not require, directors to attend.

Stock Transactions

Intermex has an insider trading policy that prohibits, among other things, short sales, hedging of stock ownership positions, and transactions involving derivative securities relating to Intermex’s common stock.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview

As an emerging growth company, Intermex has opted to comply with the executive compensation rules applicable to “smaller reporting companies,” as such term is defined under the Securities Act, which require compensation disclosure for Intermex’s principal executive officer and the next two most highly-compensated executive officers.

The tabular disclosure and discussion that follow describe Intermex’s executive compensation program during the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, with respect to Intermex’s named executive officers as of December 31, 2018, including: Robert Lisy, Intermex’s President and Chief Executive Officer; Tony Lauro II, Intermex’s Chief Financial Officer; and Randall D.

(1) All information in this table related to salary, bonus, nonequity incentive plan compensation, and all other compensation during fiscal year 2017 reflects financial information of the Company prior to the Merger.

(2) The amount set forth above includes transaction bonuses paid in connection with the Merger in the amounts of $1.5 million (for Mr. Lisy), $100,000 (for Mr. Lauro) and $646,000 (for Mr. Nilsen).

(3) The amounts included in the “Nonequity Incentive Plan Compensation” column reflect the named executive officers’ quarterly and annual performance bonuses earned in respect of fiscal year 2018, which were based on performance targets for fiscal year 2018 as described below in “Annual Cash Incentive Awards” and were paid in quarterly installments, with the final payment being made on February 1, 2019.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards

We maintained the Employee Incentive Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) in which all employees, including the named executive officers, participate. Under the terms of the Bonus Plan, an annual, cash-based, incentive plan, fifty percent (50%) of the payments are paid quarterly and fifty percent (50%) of the payments are paid annually. Bonus payments are determined based on completion of certain individualized performance objectives, varying by category/position, and Intermex-wide Adjusted EBITDA targets with each employee’s target bonus amount, expressed generally as a percentage of the employee’s base salary (including, as of December 31, 2018, targets of 46% (for Mr. Lisy), 35.4% (for Mr. Lauro) and 31.8% (for Mr. Nilsen)). In order for any payments to be made under the Bonus Plan, we must achieve at least 90% of a previously-approved annual Adjusted EBITDA target, and payout with respect to the Adjusted EBITDA component is capped at 100% of target for the annual portion of the bonus program. For 2018, performance metrics for Mr. Lisy consisted of 100% on achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA goal. For 2018 performance metrics for Mr. Nilsen and Mr. Lauro consisted of the Adjusted EBITDA goal (weighted 40%), and specific, individually agreed performance metrics (the “Individual Goals”) (weighted 60%). The Individual Goals are evaluated on a quarterly basis. For Mr. Nilsen, his Individual Goals are tied to his role as Chief Sales Officer, and are specifically measured based on actual gross margin sales versus budget for each quarter. For each quarter in 2018, Mr. Nilsen achieved between 101% to 111% of the applicable gross margin sales quarterly budget. For Mr. Lauro, his Individual Goals are based on the following factors: (i) reduction in our cash/deposit ratio (weighted 20%), (ii) reduction of our financing costs (weighted 50%), and (iii) reduction of bank fees and related charges (weighted 30%) For each quarter in 2018, Mr. Lauro’s level of achievement of his Individual Goals ranged from 100% to 103% of the applicable goal. Any achievement over 100% of the Adjusted EBITDA goal results in payments under the stretch bonus portion of the Bonus Plan. For 2018, the target Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the Bonus Plan was $40.1million and Intermex achieved an Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $47.1 million, which resulted in payments that were 65% over budget for the Adjusted EBITDA component of the bonus. Therefore, aggregate payout amounts for 2018 reflect an additional “stretch bonus” based on the achievement of over 100% of the Adjusted EBITDA target as well as over 100% of individual performance goals (for Messrs. Lisy, Lauro and Nilsen).

Employment Agreements

Each of our named executive officers is a party to an employment agreement with the Company, summarized below.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Severance under Employment Agreements

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreements with Mr. Lisy, Mr. Lauro, and Mr. Nilsen, and the Employment Transition and Separation Agreement with Mr. Ebbert, the NEOs are entitled to receive certain payments in connection with certain termination events.

In the event that (i) Mr. Lisy is terminated by Intermex other than for “Cause”, “Disability” (as such terms are defined in the CEO Employment Agreement) or death, (ii) if Mr. Lisy resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined in the CEO Employment Agreement) or (iii) Mr. Lisy’s employment is terminated pursuant to Intermex providing notice of non-renewal of the term of the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Lisy is entitled to an amount equal to two times the sum of Mr. Lisy’s base salary and Mr. Lisy’s target bonus payable in equal installments over the two year period following termination.

Pursuant to the CEO Employment Agreement, in the event that any of the payments or benefits provided by Intermex to Mr. Lisy (whether pursuant to the terms of the CEO Employment Agreement or any equity compensation or other agreement with Intermex) would constitute “parachute payments” (“Parachute Payments”) within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then such Parachute Payments to be made to Mr. Lisy shall be payable either (1) in full or (2) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such Parachute Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in Mr. Lisy’s receipt on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of economic benefits under the CEO Employment Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in the Parachute Payment is necessary, then the reduction shall occur in accordance with the terms of the CEO Employment Agreement.

In the event that Mr. Nilsen is terminated by Intermex other than for “Cause”, “Disability” (as defined in the CSO Employment Agreement) or death or if Mr. Nilsen resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined in the CSO Employment Agreement), he is entitled to base salary continuation for nine months and a pro-rata portion of his target bonus for the year in which termination occurs (less any bonus amounts already paid for such year).

In the event that Mr. Lauro is terminated by Intermex other than for “Cause”, “Disability” (as defined in the CFO Employment Agreement) or death or if Mr. Lauro resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined in the CFO Employment Agreement), he is entitled to base salary continuation for nine months and a pro-rata portion of his target bonus for the year in which termination occurs (less any bonus amounts already paid for such year).

On March 10, 2018, Intermex and Mr. Ebbert entered into an Employment, Transition and Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Ebbert ceased to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of Intermex on March 15, 2018 and continued as an employee of Intermex reporting to Mr. Lisy until April 30, 2018 (the “Transition Period”), at which time his employment ceased. During the Transition Period, Mr. Ebbert was entitled to a base salary at the semi-monthly rate of $10,648.63 and remained eligible to participate in Intermex’s health care plans. Upon his termination on April 30, 2018, Mr. Ebbert was entitled to continued salary payments for 36 weeks and a pro-rated bonus equal to $6,389.11 representing his bonus for the second quarter of 2018. In addition, Mr. Ebbert maintained his vested and unvested profits interests in accordance with the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Interwire, LLC and continued to be entitled to participate in the distribution of the Merger Consideration following his termination. Mr. Ebbert will continue to be subject to restrictive covenants of noncompetition and nonsolicitation for 18 months following the date of execution of the Separation Agreement.

With the exception of the independent non-employee directors of the Company, none of the directors received any compensation for his service as a director for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The independent non-employee directors of the Company, John Rincon, Kurt Holstein and Michael Purcell each receive an annual retainer of $40,000 paid in cash and $70,000 paid in an equity-based award, vesting over a one year period, in connection with their service on the Board of Directors.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, such independent non-employee directors’ compensation was as follows:

Kurt Holstein	$20,000	$70,000	$90,000
Michael Purcell	$20,000	$70,000	$90,000

(1) Does not include directors who also serve as officers of the Company. Employee directors do not receive compensation for their service on the Board of Directors.

(2) Represents one-half of the annual cash retainer for service on the Board from July – December 2018.

Effective March 6, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved the following compensation amounts: (a) the annual cash retainer amount for the independent non-employee directors was increased to $50,000; (b) an additional annual cash retainer of $35,000 for the Audit Committee Chair and an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000 for non-chair members of the Audit Committee; (c) an additional annual cash retainer of $15,000 for the Compensation Committee Chair and an additional annual cash retainer of $7,500 for non-chair members of the Compensation Committee; and (d) an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000 for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair and an additional annual cash retainer of $5,000 for non-chair members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Review of Related Party Transactions

In accordance with the charter for the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, our Audit Committee reviews and approves in advance any proposed related person transactions.

For purposes of these procedures, “related person” and “transaction” have the meanings contained in Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

The individuals and entities that are considered “related persons” include:

• Directors, nominees for director and executive officers of Intermex;

• Any person known to be the beneficial owner of five percent or more of Intermex’s common stock (a “5% Stockholder”); and

• Any immediate family member, as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, of a director,  nominee for director, executive officer or 5% Stockholder.

In accordance with our Related Person Transactions Policy and Procedures, the Audit Committee must review and approve all transactions in which (i) Intermex or one of its subsidiaries is a participant, (ii) the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and (iii) a related person has a direct or indirect material interest, other than transactions available to all employees of the Company generally.

In assessing a related party transaction brought before it for approval the Audit Committee considers, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. The Audit Committee may then approve or disapprove the transaction in its discretion.

16

Any related person transaction will be disclosed in the applicable SEC filing as required by the rules of the SEC.

Loan from FinTech’s Sponsor

Prior to FinTech’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), in order to finance organizational costs and other costs relating to the IPO, FinTech’s Sponsor committed to loan FinTech funds as may be required, to a maximum of $500,000. These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2017 or the consummation of the IPO. FinTech repaid an aggregate of $231,846 loans to FinTech’s Sponsor upon the consummation of the IPO or shortly thereafter.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, FinTech’s Sponsor committed to loan to FinTech funds as may be required up to a maximum of $1,100,000 (“Working Capital Loans”), which were to be repaid upon the consummation of an initial business combination. There were Working Capital Loans outstanding as of June 30, 2018 in the amount of $390,000 which were settled in cash on July 26, 2018.

Registration Rights

On July 26, 2018, the closing date of the Merger (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement (“RRA”) with certain of FinTech’s initial stockholders and certain of the Intermex stockholders that provides certain registration rights with respect to the shares of the Company’s common stock. The RRA requires the Company to, among other things, file a resale shelf registration statement on behalf of the stockholders party to the RRA as promptly as practicable upon request by Stella Point following the closing of the Merger. The RRA also provides the stockholders party to the agreement the right (such right, the “Demand Registration Right”) to require the Company to effect one or more shelf registrations under the Securities Act, covering all or part of such stockholder’s common stock upon written request to the Company. Demand registration rights are available exclusively to Stella Point for the first 15 months after the closing of the Merger, and thereafter to certain other stockholders party to the RRA. The RRA additionally provides piggyback rights to the stockholders party to the RRA, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks and issuer blackout periods. The Company also agreed to pay certain fees and expenses relating to registrations under the RRA.

Shareholders Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Company entered into an agreement by and between certain shareholders (the “Shareholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, for so long as Intermex legacy stockholders party thereto hold, in the aggregate, at least 10% of the total outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, SPC Intermex will be entitled to designate eight individuals for election to the Company’s Board of Directors of which at least three designees must qualify as an “independent director” under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq rules. Following such times as the collective ownership of such Intermex legacy stockholders is less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, SPC Intermex will be entitled to designate one person for election to the Company’s Board of Directors, which designation right will lapse at such time as the Intermex legacy stockholders’ collective ownership is less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, all of the stockholders party thereto (which stockholders currently represent, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock), are required to vote their shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the Shareholders Agreement as set forth therein for the director nominees designated thereunder. In addition, for so long as FinTech’s initial stockholders that are party to the Shareholders Agreement collectively own more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, FinTech Investor Holdings II, LLC, as representative, is entitled to designate one person as a non-voting observer to the Company’s Board of Directors. Certain parties to the Shareholders Agreement have also agreed to a lock-up provision restricting the stockholders party thereto from transferring their shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement as set forth therein, subject to limited exceptions (the “Lock-Up Period”). The Lock-Up Period extends, subject to certain exceptions, from the Closing Date until the earlier of (i) fifteen months following the Closing Date and (ii) such time as the shares of the Company’s common stock then subject to the Shareholders Agreement represent, for a period of five consecutive business days, less than 50% of the total voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock. See “Risk Factors - Because Stella Point controls a significant percentage of our common stock, it may influence our major corporate decisions and its interests may conflict with the interests of other holders of our common stock” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Shareholders Agreement.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Effective upon the consummation of the Merger, our Board of Directors adopted a written related person transaction policy that sets forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. The Company’s policy regarding related party transactions requires that management bring to the Audit Committee for its review each proposed “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction in which the Company is a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest). Any related party transaction must be approved or ratified by either (1) the Audit Committee or (2) the affirmative vote of a majority of directors who do not have a direct or indirect material interest in such related party transaction. Our policy does not specify the standards to be applied by our Audit Committee or another independent body of our Board of Directors in determining whether or not to approve or ratify a related person transaction and we accordingly anticipate that these determinations will be made in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing rules require that a majority of the board of directors of a company listed on Nasdaq be composed of “independent directors,” which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors has determined that Michael Purcell, Kurt Holstein and John Rincon are independent directors under the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director had with FinTech and Intermex and has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them.  As a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq, the Company is exempt from certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirement that a majority of our Board of Directors consist of independent directors.  We currently utilize and intend to continue to utilize this exemption.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and the Company is required to report any failure to comply therewith during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were complied with in a timely manner during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
