Description of Business

Paymentus Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Paymentus” or the "Company”) provides electronic bill presentment and payment services, enterprise customer communication and self-service revenue management to billers through a Software-as-a-Service, (“SaaS”), secure, omni-channel technology platform. The platform seamlessly integrates into a biller’s core financial and operating systems to provide flexible and secure access to payment processing of credit cards, debit cards, eChecks and digital wallets across a significant number of channels including online, mobile, IVR, call center, chatbot and voice-based assistants. Paymentus was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 2, 2011 with office locations in Charlotte, North Carolina, Richmond Hill, Ontario (Canada), Blacksburg, Virginia, Cromwell, Connecticut, Redmond, Washington and Delhi and Bangalore (India). The Company was headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina until 2020 when the Company moved its headquarters to Redmond, Washington.

In May 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), in which the Company issued and sold 11,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock at $21.00 per share, including 1,500,000 shares issued upon the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The Company received net proceeds of $224.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $16.9 million. The Company incurred direct offering expenses of $2.0 million.

In connection with the IPO:

all 103,479,239 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock automatically converted into an equivalent number of shares of Class B common stock on a one-to-one basis; and
