3. The shares are represented by restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to the reporting person as of the closing of the Business Combination and which vest upon the first to occurrence of: (a) the first trading day on which the volume weighted average price of the Company's Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days or (b) a Change of Control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), in which the valuation of the Company's Class A common stock is equal to or in excess of $12.50 per share, during the five-year period following the closing of the Business Combination.

4. In connection with the Business Combination, one share of the Company's Class C common stock was issued for each Class B Unit ("Common Unit") in S1 Holdco, LLC ("S1 Holdco") held by the reporting person as of the closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of S1 Holdco, in connection with the redemption of the Common Units (at the election of the holder), the corresponding shares of Class C common stock in the Company held by the reporting person are forfeited and cancelled, on a one-for-one basis, without consideration, for either shares of Class A Common Stock, or cash, at the Issuer's election.
