August 13, 2021

 

To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees:

 

Enclosed are the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange dated August 13, 2021 (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the “Letter of Transmittal and Consent”), which together set forth the offer of Paya Holdings Inc., Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to each holder of the Company’s warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), to receive 0.260 shares of Common Stock in exchange for each warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”). The Offer is made solely upon the terms and conditions in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in the Letter of Transmittal and Consent. The Offer will be open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on September 10, 2021, or such later time and date to which the Company may extend the Offer. The period during which the Offer is open, giving effect to any withdrawal or extension, is referred to as the “Offer Period.” The date and time at which the Offer Period ends is referred to as the “Expiration Date.”

 

The Offer is being made to all holders of the Company’s warrants. The warrants (i) sold as part of the units in FinTech Acquisition Corp. III’s (“Fintech”) initial public offering of Fintech’s securities on November 20, 2018 (the “IPO”) (whether they were purchased in the IPO or thereafter in the open market) or (ii) initially issued to certain parties in connection with the IPO that have been transferred to any person other than permitted transferees are referred to herein as the “public warrants.” The warrants issued to certain investors in a private placement in connection with the closing of the IPO that have not become public warrants under the Warrant Agreement as a result of being transferred to any person other than permitted transferees (the “private placement warrants”), were issued pursuant to certain subscription agreements, each in connection with the closing of the business combination. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The public warrants are quoted on the The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “PAYAW.” As of August 11, 2021, 17,714,945 warrants were outstanding. Pursuant to the Offer, the Company is offering up to an aggregate of 4,605,885 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the warrants.

 

 

 

Each holder whose warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.260 shares of Common Stock for each warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. Any warrant holder that participates in the Offer may tender less than all of its warrants for exchange.

 

Concurrently with the Offer, we are also soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the public warrants (the “consent warrants”) to amend the (the “Warrant Amendment”) Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2018, by and between FinTech and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, which governs all of the warrants, to permit the Company to require that each warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.234 shares of Common Stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer.

 

No fractional shares will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by the last sale price of Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the last trading day of the Offer Period. The Company’s obligation to complete the offer is not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered warrants.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the adoption of the Warrant Amendment will require the consent of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding public warrants. Parties representing approximately 63.2% of the outstanding public warrants have agreed to tender their warrants in the Offer and to consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation, pursuant to a separate tender and support agreement (the “Tender and Support Agreement”). Accordingly, if holders of an additional approximately 1.8% of the outstanding public warrants consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation, and the other conditions described herein are satisfied or waived, then the Warrant Amendment will be adopted.

 

Holders of the consent warrants may not consent to the Warrant Amendment without tendering the consent warrants in the Offer and holders may not tender such warrants without consenting to the Warrant Amendment. The consent to the Warrant Amendment is a part of the letter of transmittal and consent relating to the warrants, and therefore by tendering the consent warrants for exchange holders will be delivering to us consent. Holders may revoke consent at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) by withdrawing the consent warrants holders have tendered in the Offer.

 

If at least 65% of the holders of the outstanding consent warrants do not provide consent to the Warrant Amendment, warrants not exchanged for shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding subject to their current terms, including any such terms permitting the Company to redeem such warrants prior to their expiration. The Company reserves the right to redeem any of the warrants, as applicable, pursuant to their current terms at any time, including prior to the completion of the Offer.

 

THE OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION IS NOT MADE TO THOSE HOLDERS WHO RESIDE IN STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE AN OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.
