We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by such Selling Securityholders of the securities offered by them described in this prospectus.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein contain or may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are generally identified by use of words such as “outlook,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “seek,” “approximately,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate” or “anticipate” and similar expressions or the negative versions of these words or comparable words, as well as future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “likely” and “could.” These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, statements about or industry and market size, future opportunities, the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the expected benefits of recent acquisitions, our financial performance, our business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in prior reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, factors that could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements include the following, among others: exposure to economic conditions and political risk affecting the consumer loan market and consumer and commercial spending; the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and the actions taken to control or mitigate its spread (which impacts are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated or predicted at this time); a delay or failure to complete, integrate and/or realize the benefits of recent acquisitions and any difficulties associated with operating in markets where we have limited experience; changes in the payment processing market in which we compete, including with respect to its competitive landscape, technology evolution or regulatory changes; changes in the vertical markets that we target; risks relating to our relationships within the payment ecosystem; risk that we may not be able to execute our growth strategies, including identifying and executing acquisitions; risks relating to data security; changes in accounting policies applicable to us; and the risk that we may not be able to develop and maintain effective internal controls.

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree.

THE COMPANY

The Company

We are a leading payments technology company. We provide integrated payment processing solutions to industry-oriented vertical markets in which businesses have specific and bespoke transaction processing needs. We refer to these markets as “vertical markets” or “verticals.”

We are a payments innovator, differentiated by our proprietary, integrated payment technology platform and our ability to reduce the complexity of electronic payments for businesses. We intend to continue to strategically target verticals where we believe our ability to tailor payment solutions to our customers’ needs and the embedded nature of our integrated payment solutions will drive strong growth by attracting new customers and fostering long-term customer relationships. We processed approximately $10.7 billion of total card payment volume in 2019.

Background

Repay Holdings Corporation was originally known as Thunder Bridge Acquisition, Ltd. (“Thunder Bridge”), a special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company, which consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) in June 2018. On July 11, 2019, Thunder Bridge domesticated into a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and consummated the merger (the “Merger”) of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thunder Bridge with and into Hawk Parent Holdings LLC (“Hawk Parent”), pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated effective as of January 21, 2019 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) among Thunder Bridge, Hawk Parent and certain other parties thereto (such Domestication, Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, collectively, the “Business Combination”).

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the registrant changed its name from Thunder Bridge Acquisition, Ltd. to Repay Holdings Corporation (the “Company”). Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares of Thunder Bridge issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing converted into Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”). In connection with the Closing, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Hawk Parent and the other holders of units representing limited liability company interests of Hawk Parent as the surviving company following the Merger (the “Post-Merger Repay Units”) which provides such other holders with the right to elect to exchange such Post-Merger Repay Units into shares of Class A common stock. The rights of holders of our common stock are governed by our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). See the sections entitled “Description of Capital Stock” and “Selling Securityholders—Material Relationships with Selling Securityholders.”

Our Class A common stock is currently traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RPAY”.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risks. Before you make a decision to buy our securities, in addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed above under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the specific risks set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, or any updates in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, together with all other information appearing in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement. If any of these risks actually occur, it may materially harm our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. As a result, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additionally, the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or in any document incorporated by reference herein or therein are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may become material and adversely affect our business.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless we specify otherwise in an accompanying prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the issuance or sale of our securities to provide additional funds for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, repurchase, redemption or retirement of securities, including Post-Merger Repay Units, future acquisitions, satisfaction of earnout obligations from prior acquisitions, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness and working capital. Any specific allocation of the net proceeds of an offering of securities to a specific purpose will be determined at the time of such offering and will be described in any accompanying prospectus supplement to this prospectus.

All of the Class A common stock offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

The Selling Securityholders will pay any underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes and certain legal expenses incurred by such Selling Securityholders in disposing of their Class A common stock, and we will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Class A common stock covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants. The Company and each holder of Post-Merger Repay Units will bear its own expense regarding any exchange of Post-Merger Repay Units for shares of Class A common stock, except that we will be responsible for transfer tax, stamp taxes and similar duties (unless the applicable holder has requested that we issue the shares of Class A common stock in the name of another holder).

Table of Contents

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary of the material terms of our securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities, and is qualified by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and our Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We urge to you reach each of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of our securities.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 2,200,001,000 shares, consisting of (i) 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), (ii) 2,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (iii) 1,000 shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

As of August 24, 2020, there were outstanding 58,565,846 shares of Class A common stock, 100 shares of Class V common stock (with Hawk Parent holding any shares of Class V common stock in treasury that are not issued to Repay Unitholders), and no shares of preferred stock. As of August 24, 2020, there were outstanding 23,033,755 Post-Merger Repay Units.

Class A Common Stock

Holders of Class A common stock have all the rights, powers and privileges provided for in our Certificate of Incorporation. All shares of Class A common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Voting rights. Each holder of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. The holders of Class A common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Class A common stock, as such, have no voting power with respect to, and are not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

Dividend Rights. Subject to applicable law and preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Class A common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

Rights upon liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, the holders of Class A common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of the Company’s debts and other liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over the Class A common stock, then outstanding, if any.

Other rights. The holders of Class A common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Class A common stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of the Preferred Stock the Company may issue in the future.

Table of Contents

Class V Common Stock

Holders of Class V common stock have all the rights, powers and privileges provided for in our Certificate of Incorporation. All shares of Class V common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Voting rights. Each holder of Class V common stock is entitled, without regard to the number of shares of Class V common stock (or fraction thereof) held by it, to a number of votes that is equal to the product of (x) the total number of Post-Merger Repay Units held by such holder as set forth in the books and records of Hawk Parent multiplied by (y) an exchange rate defined in the Exchange Agreement, on all matters on which stockholders generally or holders of Class V common stock as a separate class are entitled to vote (whether voting separately as a class or together with one or more classes of our capital stock). The holders of shares of Class V common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Holders of shares of Class V common stock will vote together with holders of the Class A common stock as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Class V common stock, as such, will have no voting power with respect to, and will not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

Dividend rights. The holders of the Class V common stock do not participate in any dividends declared by our board of directors.

Rights upon liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, the holders of Class V common stock are not entitled to receive any assets of the Company.

Other rights. The holders of shares of Class V common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class V common stock.

Issuance and Retirement of Class V common stock. In the event that any outstanding share of Class V common stock ceases to be held directly or indirectly by a holder of a Post-Merger Repay Unit as set forth in the books and records of Hawk Parent, such share will automatically be transferred to us for no consideration and thereupon will be retired. We will not issue additional shares of Class V common stock after the adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation other than in connection with the valid issuance or transfer of Post-Merger Repay Units in accordance with the governing documents of Hawk Parent.

Preferred Stock

No shares of Preferred Stock are currently issued or outstanding. The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our board of directors to establish one or more series of Preferred Stock. Unless required by law or any stock exchange, the authorized shares of Preferred Stock will be available for issuance without further action by the holders of the Class A common stock. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of Preferred Stock.

The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders. Additionally, the issuance of Preferred Stock may adversely affect the holders of the Class A common stock by restricting dividends on the Class A common stock, diluting the voting power of the Class A common stock and the Class V common stock or subordinating the

Table of Contents

liquidation rights of the Class A common stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of Preferred Stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of the Class A common stock.

Dividends

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Company became a holding company with no material assets other than its interest in Hawk Parent. The Company intends to cause Hawk Parent to make distributions to Repay Unitholders in amounts sufficient to cover applicable taxes and other obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined below) as well as any cash dividends declared by us. The Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Hawk Parent provides that pro rata cash distributions be made to Repay Unitholders (including us) at certain assumed tax rates.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our Class A common stock to date. The payment of cash dividends is dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subject to funds legally available therefore. The payment of any cash dividends is within the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. Further, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants contained in the agreements governing the indebtedness of our subsidiaries.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

The Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, which are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of the Company. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change of control or other unsolicited acquisition proposal, and enhance the ability of our board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire the Company. However, these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a merger or acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of Class A common stock. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or shareholders meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders unless such action is recommended by all directors of our board of directors then in office, except that holders of Class V common stock or one or more series of Preferred Stock, if such series are expressly permitted to do so by the certificate of designation relating to such series, may take any action by written consent if such action permitted to be taken by such holders and the written consent is signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant class or series having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting.

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which would apply if and so long as the Class A common stock remains listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of Class A common stock. Additional shares that may be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Class A common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Election of Directors and Vacancies

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that our board of directors will determine the number of directors who will serve on the board, provided that no more than fifteen directors may serve on our board of directors at any time. The exact number of directors will be fixed from time to time by a majority of our board of directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I directors will initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing of the Business Combination. Class II and Class III directors will initially serve for a term expiring at the second and third annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing of the Business Combination, respectively. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting of the stockholders. There is no limit on the number of terms a director may serve on our board of directors.

In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that any vacancy on our board of directors, including a vacancy that results from an increase in the number of directors or a vacancy that results from the removal of a director with cause, may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, subject to the provisions of the Stockholder Agreements entered into in connection with the Business Combination and any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director will serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting our board of directors will shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Business Combinations

The Company has elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company will not engage in any “business combinations” (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), at any point in time at which the Company’s Class A common stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, with any “interested stockholder” (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) for a three-year period after the time that such person became an interested stockholder unless:

 

   

prior to such time, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

   

upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the Company outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (i) persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

   

at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Under the Certificate of Incorporation, a “business combination” is defined to generally include a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. The Certificate of Incorporation expressly excludes certain of our stockholders with whom we have entered into stockholders agreements, certain of their respective transferees and their respective successors and affiliates from the

Table of Contents

definition of “interested stockholder” irrespective of the percentage ownership of the total voting power beneficially owned by them. Under certain circumstances, such provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. Accordingly, such provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation could have an anti-takeover effect with respect to certain transactions which our board of directors does not approve in advance. Such provisions may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if our board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. However, such provisions also could discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders. These provisions also may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Quorum

The Bylaws provide that at any meeting of our board of directors, a majority of the total number of directors then in office constitutes a quorum for all purposes.

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes cumulative voting. The Certificate of Incorporation does not authorize cumulative voting.

General Stockholder Meetings

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by or at the direction of our board of directors, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Meetings, Nominations and Proposals

The Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors. For any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder must comply with advance notice requirements and provide us with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. The Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions will not apply to the Stockholder Parties (as defined in the Bylaws) so long as their respective stockholders agreements remains in effect. The Bylaws allow the presiding officer at a meeting of the stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of the Company.

Supermajority Provisions

The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws provide that our board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend, change, add to, rescind or repeal, in whole or in part, the Bylaws without a stockholder vote in any matter not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or the Certificate of Incorporation. Any amendment, alteration, rescission or repeal of the Bylaws by the Company’s stockholders requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

 

10


Table of Contents

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the following provisions therein may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class:

 

   

the provision requiring an 80% supermajority vote for stockholders to amend the Bylaws;

 

   

the provisions providing for a classified board of directors (the election and term of directors);

 

   

the provisions regarding filling vacancies on our board of directors and newly created directorships;

 

   

the provisions regarding resignation and removal of directors;

 

   

the provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;

 

   

the provisions regarding stockholder action by written consent;

 

   

the provisions eliminating monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty by a director;

 

   

the provisions regarding the election not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL;

 

   

the provisions regarding competition and corporate opportunities; and

 

   

the amendment provision requiring that the above provisions be amended only with an 66 2/3% supermajority vote.

These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of the Company or its management, such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of the Company. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in management.

Exclusive Forum

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, any (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee or stockholder of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer of the Company (a) arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or (b) as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (iv) action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be solely and exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, any other court located in the State of Delaware with subject matter jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company will be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation. However, it is possible that a court could find our forum selection provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.

Conflicts of Interest

Delaware law permits corporations to adopt provisions renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the corporation or its officers, directors or stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Delaware law, renounces any interest or expectancy that we have in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities that are from time to time presented to our officers, directors or stockholders or their respective affiliates, other than those officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates who are employees of the Company or our subsidiaries. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the non-employee directors or his or her affiliates will have any duty to refrain from (i) engaging in a corporate opportunity in the same or similar lines of business in which the Company or our affiliates now engage or propose to engage or (ii) otherwise competing with the Company or our affiliates. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event that any non-employee director or any of his or her affiliates acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself or himself or herself or its or his or her affiliates or for the Company or its affiliates, such person will have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or business opportunity to the Company or any of our affiliates and they may take any such opportunity for themselves or offer it to another person or entity. The Certificate of Incorporation does not renounce our interest in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to a non-employee director solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no business opportunity will be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Company unless (x) it would be permitted to undertake the opportunity, financially, legally and contractually, (y) the opportunity would be in line with our business and (z) the opportunity is one in which we have interest or reasonable expectancy.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the Company and our stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation does not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director.

 

12


Table of Contents

The Bylaws provide that we must indemnify and advance expenses to directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Stockholders Agreements

In connection with the Closing, we entered into stockholders agreements with Corsair Capital LLC (“Corsair”), Mr. Alias and Mr. Morris. See the section entitled “Selling Securityholders—Material Relationships with the Selling Securityholders” for more information regarding the stockholders agreements.

Stockholder Registration Rights

The Company, Thunder Bridge Acquisition LLC and certain other holders named therein are parties to registration rights agreement dated as of June 18, 2018 and amended as of July 11, 2019 (the “Founder Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Thunder Bridge Acquisition LLC has certain registration rights in respect of its Class A common stock. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Corsair and the other Repay Unitholders (the “Repay Unitholders Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which such parties have specified rights to require the Company to register all or a portion of their securities under the Securities Act. See the section entitled “Selling Securityholders—Material Relationships with the Selling Securityholders” for more information regarding the Repay Unitholders Registration Rights Agreement.

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities, provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

 

   

one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of common stock then outstanding; or

 

13


Table of Contents
   

the average weekly reported trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, such as us. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

 

   

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

 

   

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

   

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

 

   

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company ceased to be a shell company.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our Class A common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

The following is a general description of the rights we may offer from time to time. We may issue rights to our stockholders to purchase shares of our Class A common stock and/or any of the other securities offered hereby. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. When we issue rights, we will provide the specific terms of the rights and the applicable rights agreement in a prospectus supplement. Because the terms of any rights we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, you should rely solely on information in the applicable prospectus supplement if that summary is different from the summary in this prospectus. We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part the form of rights agreement that describes the terms of the series of rights we are offering before the issuance of the related series of rights.

The applicable prospectus supplement relating to any rights will describe the terms of the offered rights, including, where applicable, the following:

 

   

the date for determining the persons entitled to participate in the rights distribution;

 

   

the exercise price for the rights;

 

   

the aggregate number or amount of underlying securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;

 

   

the number of rights issued to each stockholder and the number of rights outstanding, if any;

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms of the series in a supplement to this prospectus. When we refer to “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” in this section, we mean Repay Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, excluding, unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise expressly stated, our subsidiaries.

We may issue debt securities, either separately, or together with, or upon the conversion or exercise of or in exchange for, other securities described in this prospectus. Debt securities may be our senior, senior subordinated or subordinated obligations, and, unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be our direct, unsecured obligations and may be issued in one or more series. Any secured debt or other secured obligations will be effectively senior to the debt securities of any series to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt or other obligations.

The debt securities will be issued under an indenture between us and a trustee named in a prospectus supplement. We have summarized select portions of the indenture below. The summary is not complete. The form of the indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement and you should read the indenture for provisions that may be important to you. In the summary below, we have included references to the section numbers of the indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions. Capitalized terms used in the summary and not defined herein have the meanings specified in the indenture. The indenture will not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. The applicable indenture will provide that debt securities may be issued up to an aggregate principal amount authorized from time to time by us and may be payable in any currency or currency unit designated by us or in amounts determined by reference to an index.

General

The terms of each series of debt securities will be established by or pursuant to a resolution of our board of directors and set forth or determined in the manner provided in a resolution of our board of directors, in an officer’s certificate or by a supplemental indenture.

We can issue an unlimited amount of debt securities under the indenture that may be in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium, or at a discount. The applicable prospectus supplement and/or free writing prospectus will describe any additional or different terms of the debt securities being offered, including the following terms:

 

   

the title and type of the debt securities;

 

   

the ranking of the debt securities, including whether the debt securities will be senior or subordinated debt securities, and the terms on which they are subordinated;

 

   

the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities and any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;

 

   

the price or prices at which we will sell the debt securities;

 

   

the maturity date or dates of the debt securities and the right, if any, to extend such date or dates;

 

   

the rate or rates, if any, per year, at which the debt securities will bear interest, or the method of determining such rate or rates;

 

   

the date or dates from which such interest will accrue, the interest payment dates on which such interest will be payable or the manner of determination of such interest payment dates and the related record dates;

whether and upon what terms the debt securities may be defeased;

 

   

the manner in which the amounts of payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities will be determined, if these amounts may be determined by reference to an index based on a currency or currencies or by reference to a commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index;

 

   

any events of default or covenants in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in the indenture;

any other terms of the debt securities, which may supplement, modify or delete any provision of the indenture as it applies to that series, including any terms that may be required under applicable law or regulations or advisable in connection with the marketing of the securities.

When we refer to “principal” in this section with reference to the debt securities, we are also referring to “premium, if any.” We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture.

We may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of any series of debt securities, create and issue further debt securities of any such series ranking equally with the debt securities of such series in all respects (or in all respects other than (1) the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further debt securities or (2) the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further debt securities). Such further debt securities may be consolidated and form a single series with the debt securities of such series and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the debt securities of such series.

A holder may present debt securities for exchange and may present debt securities for transfer in the manner, at the places and subject to the restrictions set forth in the debt securities and the applicable prospectus supplement. We will provide those services to the holders without charge, although the holder may have to pay any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any exchange or transfer, as set forth in the indenture.

Debt securities may bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate.

Certain Terms of the Debt Securities

Covenants. We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities.

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets. Unless we indicate otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we may not consolidate with or merge into any other person in a transaction in which we are not the surviving corporation, or convey, transfer or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person, in either case, unless:

 

   

the successor entity, if any, is a U.S. corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust (subject to certain exceptions provided for in the indenture);

 

   

we are the surviving corporation or the successor entity assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture; and

 

   

immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing.

No Protection in the Event of a Change in Control. Unless we indicate otherwise in a prospectus supplement with respect to a particular series of debt securities, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control).

Events of Default. The following are events of default under the indenture for any series of debt securities:

 

   

failure to pay interest on any debt securities of such series when due and payable, if that default continues for a period of 90 days (or such other period as may be specified for such series);

 

   

failure to pay principal on the debt securities of such series when due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise (and, if specified for such series, the continuance of such failure for a specified period);

 

   

default in the performance of or breach of any of our covenants or agreements in the indenture applicable to debt securities of such series, other than a covenant breach which is specifically dealt with elsewhere in the indenture, and that default or breach continues for a period of 90 days after we receive written notice from the trustee or from the holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series;

 

   

certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, whether or not voluntary, and, in the case of an order or decree in an involuntary proceeding, such order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 days; and

 

   

any other event of default provided for in such series of debt securities as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

21


Table of Contents

No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities, except as noted in the subsequent paragraph, necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities.

If an event of default other than an event of default specified in the fourth bullet point immediately above occurs with respect to a series of debt securities and is continuing under the indenture, then, and in each such case, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of such series then outstanding under the indenture (each such series voting as a separate class) by written notice to us and to the trustee, if such notice is given by the holders, may, and the trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare the principal amount of and accrued interest on such series of debt securities to be immediately due and payable, and upon this declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable.

If an event of default specified in the fourth bullet point immediately above occurs and is continuing, the entire principal amount of and accrued interest on each series of debt securities then outstanding shall become immediately due and payable.

Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities originally issued at a discount, the amount due upon acceleration shall include only the original issue price of the debt securities, the amount of original issue discount accrued to the date of acceleration and accrued interest, if any.

Upon certain conditions, declarations of acceleration may be rescinded and annulled and past defaults may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the debt securities of such series affected by the default, each series voting as a separate class. Furthermore, prior to a declaration of acceleration and subject to various provisions in the indenture, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of a series of debt securities, by notice to the trustee, may waive an existing default or event of default with respect to such debt securities and its consequences, except a default in the payment of principal of or interest on such debt securities or in respect of a covenant or provision of the indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each such debt security. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any event of default with respect to such debt securities shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or event of default or impair any right consequent thereto.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of a series of debt securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to such debt securities. However, the trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture, that may involve the trustee in personal liability or that the trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of such series of debt securities not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from holders of such series of debt securities. A holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or any series of debt securities unless:

 

   

the holder gives the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to debt securities of that series;

 

   

the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of such series of debt securities make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy in respect of such event of default;

 

   

the requesting holder or holders offer the trustee indemnity satisfactory to the trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

 

   

the trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

 

   

during such 60-day period, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such series of debt securities do not give the trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

Table of Contents

These limitations, however, do not apply to the right of any holder of a debt security to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such debt security in accordance with the terms of such debt security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment in accordance with the terms of such debt security, on or after the due date for the debt securities, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the holder.

The indenture requires certain of our officers to certify, on or before a fixed date in each year in which any debt security is outstanding, as to their knowledge of our compliance with all covenants, agreements and conditions under the indenture.

Satisfaction and Discharge. We can satisfy and discharge our obligations to holders of any series of debt securities if:

 

   

we pay or cause to be paid, as and when due and payable, the principal of and any interest on all debt securities of such series outstanding under the indenture;

 

   

we deliver to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities of any series theretofore authenticated (other than securities that have been destroyed, lost or stolen); or

 

   

all debt securities of such series have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year (or are to be called for redemption within one year) and we deposit in trust a combination of cash and U.S. government or U.S. government agency obligations that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities of that series on their various due dates.

Defeasance. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise, the following discussion of legal defeasance and discharge and covenant defeasance will apply to any series of debt securities issued under the indentures.

Legal Defeasance. We can legally release ourselves from any payment or other obligations on the debt securities of any series (called “legal defeasance”) if certain conditions are met, including the following:

 

   

We deposit in trust for the benefit of all direct holders of the debt securities of the same series a combination of cash and U.S. government or U.S. government agency obligations that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities of that series on their various due dates.

 

   

We deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming there was a change in current U.S. federal income tax law or an IRS ruling that lets us make the above deposit without causing the holder to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and instead paid the amounts due on the debt securities as and when due.

If we ever did accomplish legal defeasance, as described above, holders would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for repayment of the debt securities. The holders could not look to us for repayment in the event of any shortfall.

Covenant Defeasance. Without any change of current U.S. federal tax law, we can make the same type of deposit described above and be released from some of the covenants in the debt securities (called “covenant defeasance”). In that event, the holder would lose the protection of those covenants but would gain the protection of having money and securities set aside in trust to repay the debt securities. In order to achieve covenant defeasance, we must do the following (among other things):

 

   

We must deposit in trust for the benefit of all direct holders of the debt securities of the same series a combination of cash and U.S. government or U.S. government agency obligations that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities of that series on their various due dates.

We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that under current U.S. federal income tax law we may make the above deposit without causing the holder to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and instead paid the amounts due on the debt securities as and when due.

If we accomplish covenant defeasance, the holders can still look to us for repayment of the debt securities if there were a shortfall in the trust deposit. In fact, if one of the events of default occurred (such as our bankruptcy) and the debt securities become immediately due and payable, there may be such a shortfall. Depending on the events causing the default, the holders may not be able to obtain payment of the shortfall.

Modification and Waiver. We and the trustee may amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities without the consent of any holder:

 

   

to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any assets as security for the debt securities of one or more series;

 

   

to evidence the succession of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust to us, and the assumption by such successor of our covenants, agreements and obligations under the indenture;

 

   

to add to our covenants such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the holders, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default;

 

   

to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture or in any supplemental indenture or to conform the indenture or the debt securities to the description of debt securities of such series set forth in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement;

 

   

to provide for or add guarantors with respect to the debt securities of any series;

 

   

to establish the form or forms or terms of the debt securities as permitted by the indenture;

 

   

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the indenture by a successor trustee, or to make such changes as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts in the indenture by more than one trustee;

 

   

to add to, delete from or revise the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of any series of debt securities;

 

   

to make any change to the debt securities of any series so long as no debt securities of such series are outstanding; or

 

   

to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder in any material respect.

Other amendments and modifications of the indenture or the debt securities issued may be made, and our compliance with any provision of the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities may be waived, with the consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the amendment or modification (voting together as a single class); provided, however, that each affected holder must consent to any modification, amendment or waiver that:

 

   

extends the final maturity of any debt securities of such series;

 

   

reduces the principal amount of on any debt securities of such series;

 

   

reduces the rate or extends the time of payment of interest on any debt securities of such series;

 

24


Table of Contents
   

reduces the amount payable upon the redemption of any debt securities of such series;

 

   

changes the currency of payment of principal of or interest on any debt securities of such series;

 

   

reduces the principal amount of original issue discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity or the amount provable in bankruptcy;

 

   

waives a default in the payment of principal of or interest on the debt securities;

 

   

changes the provisions relating to the waiver of past defaults or changes or impairs the right of holders to receive payment or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment or conversion of any debt securities of such series on or after the due date therefor;

 

   

modifies any of the provisions of these restrictions on amendments and modifications, except to increase any required percentage or to provide that certain other provisions cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each debt security of such series affected by the modification; or

 

   

reduces the above-stated percentage of outstanding debt securities of such series whose holders must consent to a supplemental indenture or to modify or amend or to waive certain provisions of or defaults under the indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the holders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if the holders’ consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver of the indenture in accordance with the provisions described in this section becomes effective, the trustee must give to the holders affected thereby certain notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure by the trustee to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver.

No Personal Liability of Incorporators, Shareholders, Officers, and Directors. The indenture provides that no recourse shall be had under any obligation, covenant or agreement of ours in the indenture or any supplemental indenture, or in any of the debt securities or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, against any of our incorporators, shareholders, officers or directors, past, present or future, or of any predecessor or successor entity thereof under any law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise. Each holder, by accepting the debt securities, waives and releases all such liability.

Concerning the Trustee. The indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an event of default, the trustee will not be liable except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the indenture and will use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

The indenture and the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 incorporated by reference therein contain limitations on the rights of the trustee thereunder, should it become a creditor of ours or any of our subsidiaries, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions, provided that if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act), it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

We may have normal banking relationships with the trustee in the ordinary course of business.

Unclaimed Funds. All funds deposited with the trustee or any paying agent for the payment of principal, premium, interest or additional amounts in respect of the debt securities that remain unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal, premium or interest became due and payable will be repaid to us. Thereafter,

 

25


Table of Contents

any right of any holder of debt securities to such funds shall be enforceable only against us, and the trustee and paying agents will have no liability therefor.

Governing Law. The indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the debt securities, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

Interests shown consist solely of Class A common stock and does not reflect the ownership of the Post-Merger Repay Units or the Class A common stock exchangeable therefore pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement and the Hawk Parent Limited Liability Company Agreement, each holder of a Post-Merger Repay Unit, subject to certain limitations, has the right to cause Hawk Parent to acquire all or a portion of its Post-Merger Repay Units for shares of our Class A common stock at a current exchange ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each Post-Merger Repay Unit exchanged (subject to adjustments for any subdivisions or combination of the Post-Merger Repay Units that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of our Class A common stock or, by any such subdivision or combination of our Class A common stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Post-Merger Repay Unit). In connection with such exchange, the corresponding number of shares of Post-Merger Repay Units will be cancelled. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, a person has beneficial ownership of a security as to which that person, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares voting power and/or investment power of such security and as to which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days. We have the option to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Class A common stock upon exercise by such holder of its exchange right. As a result, beneficial ownership of Class V common stock and Post-Merger Repay Units is not reflected as beneficial ownership of shares of our Class A common stock for which such Post-Merger Repay Units may be exchanged.

(2)

Each holder of Post-Merger Repay Units also holds one share of Class V common stock and is entitled to a number of votes that is equal to the product of (i) the total number of Post-Merger Repay Units held by such holder multiplied by (ii) the exchange ratio between the Post-Merger Repay Units and Class A common stock, which is currently one-for-one. Subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Post-Merger Repay Units are currently exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock. These columns assume no exchange of the Post-Merger Repay Units.

(4)

The calculation of the percentage ownership for each Selling Securityholder assumes the exchange and sale of all Post-Merger Repay Units held by the Selling Securityholder and offered pursuant to this prospectus, but does not assume the exchange or sale of any other Post-Merger Repay Units held by any other Selling Securityholder.

Material Relationships with the Selling Securityholders

Hawk Parent Related Person Transactions

Management Agreement

In September 2016, Hawk Parent entered into a management agreement with Corsair Investments, an affiliate of its significant equityholder Corsair, pursuant to which Corsair Investments agreed to provide management and consulting services to Hawk Parent in exchange for fees. This agreement was terminated in connection with the completion of the Business Combination (other than certain limitation of liability and indemnification provisions relating to periods prior to the termination). Hawk Parent paid to Corsair Investments, $400,000 in each of 2017 and 2018, and $210,753 in 2019 in respect of management fees under the management agreement. In addition, Hawk Parent reimbursed Corsair Investments approximately $388,401 in 2017 for certain transaction expenses in connection with acquisitions made by Repay and its subsidiaries.

Hawk Parent Limited Liability Company Agreement

Certain of our executive officers, directors and Corsair are parties to the limited liability company agreement of Hawk Parent. During the year ended December 31, 2017, Hawk Parent declared and paid a cash distribution of approximately $5.5 million, of which approximately $3.9 million was paid to Corsair, approximately $890,000 was paid to John Morris (including certain affiliated entities), approximately $480,000 was paid to Shaler Alias (including certain affiliated entities), approximately $20,000 was paid to Tim Murphy, approximately $17,000 was paid to Jason Kirk and approximately $16,000 was paid to Susan Perlmutter. During the year ended December 31, 2018, Hawk Parent declared and paid a cash distribution of approximately $6.3 million, of which approximately $4.6 million was paid to Corsair, approximately $963,000 was paid to John Morris (including certain affiliated entities), approximately $523,000 was paid to Shaler Alias (including certain affiliated entities), approximately $32,000 was paid to Tim Murphy, approximately $27,000 was paid to Jason Kirk and approximately $20,000 was paid to Susan Perlmutter. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Hawk Parent declared and paid total cash tax distributions of approximately $6.92 million, of which approximately $3.76 million was paid to Corsair, approximately $416,000 was paid to Bill Jacobs, approximately $745,000 was paid to John Morris (including certain affiliated entities), approximately $943,000 was paid to Shaler Alias (including certain affiliated entities), approximately $268,000 was paid to Tim Murphy (including certain affiliated entities), approximately $218,000 was paid to Jason Kirk, approximately $78,000 was paid to Susan Perlmutter, and approximately $71,000 was paid to Jake Moore.

Sponsorship Agreement

In January 2018, Hawk Parent, through its subsidiary, entered into a sponsorship agreement with CapStar Bank (“CapStar”), an entity then affiliated with its significant equityholder Corsair, pursuant to which CapStar provides sponsorship to allow Hawk Parent’s subsidiary to settle processing transactions through the payment networks. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, Hawk Parent’s subsidiary paid approximately $651,848 and $45,000, respectively, to CapStar pursuant to the Sponsorship Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2017, Hawk Parent’s subsidiary did not pay any fees to CapStar pursuant to the Sponsorship Agreement. Hawk Parent and its subsidiaries maintain relationships with multiple sponsor banks, and we believe the terms of the transactions described above were comparable to terms we could have obtained in arm’s-length dealings with unrelated third parties. As of December 31, 2019, Corsair was no longer affiliated with CapStar.

Certain Business Combination Arrangements

In connection with the Business Combination, Hawk Parent fully accelerated the vesting of all outstanding profits interests of Hawk Parent that remained unvested at such time. All outstanding profits interests, including those unvested profits interests that became vested profits interests in connection with the Business Combination, were exchanged into Hawk Parent units immediately prior to the Closing based on the fair market value of such profits interests as determined pursuant to the terms of the existing limited liability company agreement of Hawk Parent at that time. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective of the Business Combination, the Hawk Parent units (including those issued in exchange for unvested profits interests) were converted into the right to receive (i) certain cash consideration at Closing, (ii) Post-Merger Repay Units, and (iii) the contingent right to receive additional Post-Merger Repay Units (as discussed below under “Post-Business Combination Arrangements — Earn-Out Units”). The Merger Agreement also contained provisions regarding certain escrows, holdbacks and post-Closing adjustments. The aggregate amount of cash consideration paid at Closing under the Merger Agreement in respect of Hawk Parent units was approximately $260.8 million, and the aggregate number of Post-Merger Repay Units issued at Closing under the Merger Agreement in respect of Hawk Parent units was 21,985,297. Of such aggregate cash consideration paid at Closing in respect of the Hawk Parent units, approximately $177.4 million was paid to Corsair, approximately $32.5 million was paid to Mr. Morris (including certain affiliated entities), approximately $29.6 million was paid to Mr. Alias (including certain affiliated entities), approximately $3.7 million was paid to Mr. Murphy (including certain affiliated entities), approximately $3.1 million was paid to Mr. Kirk, approximately $1.4 million was paid to Ms. Perlmutter, approximately $821,000 was paid to Mr. Moore, and approximately $1.8 million was paid to Mr. Jacobs. Of such aggregate Post-Merger Repay Units issued at Closing in respect of the Hawk Parent units, 14,952,465 Post-Merger Repay Units were issued to Corsair, 2,738,905 Post-Merger Repay Units were issued to Mr. Morris (including certain affiliated entities), 2,492,629 Post-Merger Repay Units were issued to Mr. Alias (including certain affiliated entities), 312,704 Post-Merger Repay Units were issued to Mr. Murphy (including certain affiliated entities), 257,261 Post-Merger Units were issued to Mr. Kirk, 118,458 Post-Merger Units were issued to Ms. Perlmutter, 69,078 Post-Merger Units were issued to Mr. Moore, and 153,237 Post-Merger Units were issued to Mr. Jacobs.

Post-Business Combination Arrangements

Exchange Agreement

In connection with the Closing, we entered into the Exchange Agreement with Repay Unitholders, which provides the Repay Unitholders with the right to elect to exchange such Post-Merger Repay Units into shares of Class A common stock (as described below). The Exchange Agreement provides that Repay Unitholders are able to exchange all or any portion of their Post-Merger Repay Units for shares of Class A common stock by delivering a written notice to both Hawk Parent and us and surrendering such Post-Merger Repay Units to us, subject to certain limitations. The initial exchange ratio is one Post-Merger Repay Unit for one share of Class A common stock. The exchange ratio will be adjusted for any subdivision (split, unit distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Post-Merger Repay Units that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class A common stock or, by any such subdivision or combination of the Class A common stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Post-Merger Repay Units. If the Class A common stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, on any subsequent exchange an exchanging Repay Unitholder will be entitled to receive such security, securities or other property. The exchange ratio will also adjust in certain circumstances when we acquire Post-Merger Repay Units other than through an exchange for our shares of Class A common stock.

Hawk Parent and each Repay Unitholder will bear its own expense regarding any exchange, except that Hawk Parent will be responsible for transfer tax, stamp taxes and similar duties (unless the applicable holder has requested that the Company issue the shares of Class A common stock in the name of another holder).

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Closing, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the Repay Unitholders.

As described above, Repay Unitholders may, subject to certain conditions, exchange their Post-Merger Repay Units for our shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, including in certain cases adjustments as set forth therein or in an exchange in a sale for cash. Hawk Parent intends to have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code for each taxable year in which an exchange of Post-Merger Repay Units for shares of Class A common stock occurs, which is expected to result in increases to the tax basis of the assets of Hawk Parent at the time of an exchange of Post-Merger Repay Units. The exchanges are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Hawk Parent. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides for the payment by us to exchanging Repay Unitholders of 100% of the tax benefits, if any, that we realize (or in certain cases are deemed to realize) as a result of these increases in tax basis and certain other tax attributes of Hawk Parent and tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

This payment obligation is an obligation of the Company and not of Hawk Parent. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the cash tax savings in income tax will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of the Company (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that the Company would have been required to pay had there been no increase (or decrease) to the tax basis of the assets of Hawk Parent as a result of the exchanges and had the Company not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. Such increase or decrease will be calculated under the Tax Receivable Agreement without regard to any transfers of Post-Merger Repay Units or distributions with respect to Post-Merger Repay Units before the exchange under the Exchange Agreement.

The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits of the Tax Receivable Agreement.

We expect that, as a result of the size of the increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Hawk Parent, the payments that we may make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. There may be a material negative effect on our liquidity if, as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual cash tax savings that we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement and/or distributions to the Company by Hawk Parent are not sufficient to permit the Company to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement after it has paid taxes. Late payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will accrue interest at an uncapped rate equal to LIBOR plus 500 basis points. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned upon continued ownership of us by Repay Unitholders. The rights of each party under the Tax Receivable Agreement other than the Company are assignable.

Corsair Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the Closing, we entered into a Stockholders Agreement with Corsair (the “Corsair Stockholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the Corsair Stockholders Agreement, (i) for so long as Corsair and its affiliates beneficially own at least 12% of the outstanding Class A common stock (including pursuant to Post-Merger Repay Units that can be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), Corsair will have the right to select two designees to be nominated for election to our board of directors by the nominating and governance committee of the board of directors (consisting of one Class I director (whose initial term expires at the

Table of Contents

Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2020, and whose subsequent terms will last until the Company’s third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders thereafter) and one Class II director (whose initial term expires at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2021, and whose subsequent terms will last until the Company’s third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders thereafter)) and (ii) for so long as Corsair and its affiliates beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding Class A common stock (including pursuant to Post-Merger Repay Units that can be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), Corsair will have the right to select one designee to be nominated by the nominating and governance committee of the board of directors (with the director’s class depending on which of its prior Corsair designees is then serving, and if none, then Corsair will be entitled to determine whether its designee will be nominated as a Class I director or a Class II director (such designees, the “Corsair Designees”).

In the event that William Jacobs ceases to serve as a director of the Company, Corsair will have the right to select one designee to be nominated by the nominating and governance committee of the board of directors as a Class III director (whose initial term expires at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2022, and whose subsequent terms will last until the Company’s third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders thereafter) a new independent director (the “New Neutral Director” and, either Mr. Jacobs or the New Neutral Director, the “Neutral Director”); provided that, if at the time of such designation Corsair and its affiliates beneficially own less than 23% of the Class A common stock (including pursuant to Post-Merger Repay Units that can be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), the nominating and governance committee of the board of directors will have the right to approve any such Neutral Director. Each Corsair Designee and New Neutral Director must be eligible to serve as a director, and the Neutral Director and all but one of the Corsair Designees must also be considered “independent”, in each case under applicable Nasdaq rules (or any other market upon which shares of Class A common stock are then traded). The Corsair Designees and the New Neutral Director may only be removed with the consent of Corsair, and in the event of any vacancy with respect to the seat of a Corsair Designee or the New Neutral Director, we will use our best efforts to fill such vacancy with a person designated by Corsair. We have also generally agreed to use our best efforts to cause the Corsair Designees and the Neutral Director to be elected to our board of directors. Additionally, any change in the size of our board of directors requires the consent of Corsair. Each Corsair Designee and the Neutral Director will be entitled to receive compensation consistent with the compensation received by other non-employee directors, including any fees and equity awards, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges applicable to all other members of our board of directors, including indemnification and exculpation rights and director and officer insurance.

Founders’ Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the Closing, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement with Mr. Alias and Mr. Morris (together, the “Repay Founders”) (the “Founders’ Stockholders Agreement”).

Under the Founders’ Stockholders Agreement, Mr. Morris and Mr. Alias will serve on our board of directors (with Mr. Alias being a Class I director and Mr. Morris being a Class III director). The Founders’ Stockholders Agreement provides that (i) if Mr. Morris ceases to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, he will immediately resign as a director and will no longer be entitled to be designated to our board of directors, and (ii) if Mr. Alias ceases to serve as President of the Company, he will immediately resign as a director and no longer be entitled to be designated to our board of directors. If Mr. Morris and/or Mr. Alias resign, upon their termination, the Repay Founders together will be entitled to designate one designee for nomination to our board of directors as an independent director to replace the resigning director(s) (but no more than one independent director in total), which independent director will be subject to the approval of Corsair if Corsair and its affiliates collectively beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding Class A common stock (including pursuant to Post-Merger Repay Units) (the “Independent Founder Designee” and together with either Mr. Morris and Mr. Alias if serving as a designee under the foregoing provisions, the “Founder Designees”).

Each Founder Designee must be eligible to serve as a director, and the Independent Founder Designee must be independent, in each case under applicable Nasdaq rules (or any other market upon which shares of Class A

common stock are then traded). Mr. Morris and Mr. Alias may only be removed upon termination of service as described above, and the Independent Founder Designee may only be removed with the consent of the Repay Founders. In the event of any vacancy with respect to the seat of the Independent Founder Designee, we will use our best efforts to fill such vacancy with such person as designed by the Repay Founders (and approved by Corsair, if applicable). We also agree to use our best efforts to cause the Founder Designees to be elected to our board of directors. Additionally, any change in the size of our board of directors requires the consent of the Repay Founders. Mr. Morris and Mr. Alias will not be entitled to compensation (other than as officers of the Company and expense reimbursements), but the Independent Founder Designee will be entitled to receive compensation consistent with the compensation received by other non-employee directors, including any fees and equity awards. Each Founder Designee will be entitled to the same rights and privileges applicable to all other members of board of directors, including indemnification and exculpation rights and director and officer insurance.

Repay Unitholders Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Closing, we entered into the Repay Unitholders Registration Rights Agreement with Corsair and the other Repay Unitholders. Under the Repay Unitholders Registration Rights Agreement, the Repay Unitholders are entitled to registration rights that obligate us to register for resale under the Securities Act all or any portion of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exchange for Post-Merger Repay Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement so long as such shares are not then restricted under any applicable support agreement or escrow agreement.

Under the Repay Unitholders Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the Repay Unitholders and each underwriter and each of their respective controlling persons against any losses or damages resulting from any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which they sell Shares, unless such liability arises from their misstatement or omission, and Repay Unitholders have agreed to indemnify the Company and our officers and directors and controlling persons against all losses caused by their misstatements or omissions in those documents.

Support Agreements

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement (other than Richard E. Thornburgh, who entered into such agreement on May 9, 2019), each of (i) Corsair, (ii) John A. Morris and Shaler V. Alias (each of whom are Repay Unitholders who serve as Company directors) (the “Repay Unitholder Directors”) and (iii) Jeremy Schein and Richard E. Thornburgh (each of whom are representatives of Corsair and serve as Company directors) (the “Corsair Directors”) entered into support agreements (collectively, the “Support Agreements”) in favor of Thunder Bridge and Hawk Parent and their present and future successors and subsidiaries. The Support Agreements executed by each of Corsair and the Repay Unitholder Directors provided for each of Corsair and the Repay Unitholder Directors to vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and related transactions. They also each agreed to a lock-up for a period of six months after the Closing with respect to the any securities of the Company that they received under the Merger Agreement, and they each agreed to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants.

Amended Operating Agreement

Concurrently with the completion of the Business Combination, the existing amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Hawk Parent was amended and restated in its entirety to become the Amended Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, the Post-Merger Repay Units are entitled to share in the profits and losses of Hawk Parent and to receive distributions as and if declared by the managing member of Hawk Parent and will have no voting rights. We, as managing member of Hawk Parent may, in our sole discretion, authorize distributions to the Hawk Parent members. All such distributions will be made pro rata in accordance with each member’s interest in Hawk Parent.

 

34


Table of Contents

The Amended Operating Agreement also provides for cash distributions, which we refer to as “tax distributions,” to the holders of Post-Merger Repay Units if we, as the sole managing member of Hawk Parent, reasonably determine that a holder, by reason of holding Post-Merger Repay Units, incurs an income tax liability. Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on our estimate of the net taxable income of Hawk Parent multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined United States federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (taking into account the non-deductibility of certain expenses and the character of our income).

Upon the liquidation or winding up of Hawk Parent, all net proceeds thereof will be distributed one hundred percent (100%) to the holders of Post-Merger Repay Units, pro rata based on their percentage interests.

Escrow Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into an escrow agreement with the Repay Unitholders and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, whereby we agreed to deposit 60,000 Post-Merger Repay Units to cover any negative post-Closing adjustments to the Merger Consideration for the Closing Adjustment Items. For purposes of the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Units are ascribed a value of $10.00 per unit, with an aggregate value of $600,000. On October 1, 2019, in connection with the post-closing adjustment provisions of the Merger Agreement, 39,674 Post-Merger Repay Units were cancelled and 20,326 Post-Merger Repay Units were released from escrow and are no longer subject to forfeiture. Of the Post-Merger Repay Units released from escrow, 13,121 Post-Merger Repay Units were released to Corsair, 2,616 Post-Merger Repay Units were released to Mr. Morris (including certain affiliated entities), 2,348 Post-Merger Repay Units were released to Mr. Alias (including certain affiliated entities), 431 Post-Merger Repay Units were released to Mr. Murphy (including certain affiliated entities), 352 Post-Merger Units were released to Mr. Kirk, 144 Post-Merger Units were released to Ms. Perlmutter, 105 Post-Merger Units were released to Mr. Moore, and 205 Post-Merger Units were released to Mr. Jacobs.

Earn-Out Units

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we agreed to issue up to 7,500,000 additional Post-Merger Repay Units (the “Earn-Out Units”) to Corsair and the other Repay Unitholders as follows (i) if, within the twelve month anniversary of the Closing, the volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, the Repay Unitholders would be entitled to receive 50% of the Earn-Out Units; and (ii) if, within the twenty-four month anniversary of the Closing, the volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $14.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, the Repay Unitholders would be entitled to receive 100% of the Earn-Out Units.

On September 30, 2019, the triggering event for the issuance of the first tranche of Earn-Out Units to the Repay Unitholders occurred, as the volume weighted average closing price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock as of that date had been greater than or equal to $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. As a result, we issued 3,750,000 Earn-Out Units to the Repay Unitholders on October 1, 2019, which included 2,299,615 Post-Merger Repay Units to Corsair, 458,504 Post-Merger Repay Units to Mr. Morris (including certain affiliated entities), 411,548 Post-Merger Repay Units to Mr. Alias (including certain affiliated entities), 75,415 Post-Merger Repay Units to Mr. Murphy (including certain affiliated entities), 61,645 Post-Merger Units to Mr. Kirk, 25,212 Post-Merger Units to Ms. Perlmutter, 18,415 Post-Merger Units to Mr. Moore, and 35,880 Post-Merger Units to Mr. Jacobs.

On December 24, 2019, the triggering event for the issuance of the second tranche of Earn-Out Units to the Repay Unitholders occurred, as the volume weighted average closing price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock as of that date had been greater or equal to than or equal to $14.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. As a result, we issued 3,750,000 Earn-Out Units to the Repay Unitholders on

Unit Purchase Agreement

On June 2, 2020, we completed an underwritten offering of 9,200,000 shares of our Class A common stock. In connection with the offering, on May 28, 2020, we entered into a unit purchase agreement with Corsair to use the net proceeds from 5,200,000 of those shares to purchase an equivalent number of outstanding Post-Merger Repay Units owned by Corsair for a total purchase price of $98,800,000.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that our directors will not be liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide the executive officers and directors with contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement, and reimbursement to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers to which indemnification is being sought, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We or the Selling Securityholders may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods or through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers. The term “Selling Securityholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the securities to be offered and sold by us pursuant to this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants. The Selling Securityholders will pay any underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes and certain legal expenses incurred by such Selling Securityholders in disposing of their Class A common stock, and we will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Class A common stock covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants.

Sales of the securities may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at fixed price or prices, which may be changed, prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The securities may be distributed from time to time in one more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market;

 

   

through trading plans entered into by the Company or a Selling Securityholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;

 

   

to or through underwriters or broker-dealers;

 

   

in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;

Table of Contents

We and the Selling Securityholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or any Selling Securityholder or borrowed from us or any Selling Securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us or any Selling Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we and the Selling Securityholders may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

In effecting sales, we or the Selling Securityholders may engage broker-dealers or agents, who may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from us or the Selling Securityholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Selling Securityholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the Selling Securityholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Neither we nor any Selling Securityholder can presently estimate the amount of any such compensation.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

We have advised the Selling Securityholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We and the Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Each time we or the Selling Securityholders offer and sell securities using this prospectus, a prospectus supplement will be provided that will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including:

 

   

the name or names of agents, dealers or underwriters, if any;

 

   

the purchase price of the securities being offered and the proceeds we or the Selling Securityholders will receive from the sale;

 

   

any options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us or the Selling Securityholders;

 

   

any agency fees or underwriting discounts and commissions and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;

 

   

any public offering price;

 

   

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

 

   

any market on which the securities may be listed.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of their businesses. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement naming the underwriters, dealers or agents, the nature of any material relationship between us and the underwriters, dealers or agents, respectively.

Item 15.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its Certificate of Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided in our Certificate of Incorporation. Each indemnification agreement provides for indemnification and advancements by the registrant of certain expenses and costs relating to claims, suits or proceedings arising from his or her service to the registrant or, at our request, service to other entities, as officers or directors to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract qualified directors.

The registrant also maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (1) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, while acting in their capacity as directors and officers of the registrant, and (2) to the registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to any indemnification provision contained in the registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 17.

Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that: Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time

shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
