 Process overview  Executive summary  was invited to join the process  (offer price per share of $9.50-$10.00)  Review of potential buyer dialogue and activity to date   The Company held various preliminary conversations with 12 potential buyers in H2’24, and of these, 8 signed NDAs and were provided initial data room access as early as mid-January 2025  REDACTED and TPG submitted initial bids in late January and were asked to conduct additional diligence and submit revised bits by 3/24  During this revised bid period, REDACTED removed itself from the process while  Bids were submitted again on 3/24 by TPG (offer price per share of $10.00) and  Business and equity price fact pattern during Q1’25 initial and revised bid period  LRP provided to bidders was revised downward (annual EBITDA revised down 9% adjusted for pubco costs), below consensus at the time   Prior and Updated LRP both assumed material resumption of growth beginning in 2025E that would be clear directional change from pre-2025E trends  After earnings release and initial 2025E public guidance provided on 2/26, share price fell 25% from $9.15 pre-earnings eventually down to  $6.89 (closing price on 3/12 prior to Bloomberg article)  Share price had already started to decline since REDACTED earnings release on 2/6; AVDX’s price decline from 2/5 ($10.81) to 3/12 ($6.89) was 36%  Next steps  Assess context for valuation  Consider how to maximize value of current active parties  Discuss inbounds and credibility to determine parties to invite as part of the process  REDACTED REDACTED

 Financial Profile Summary  6  LRP & Related Context 
 

 Perspective on LRP forecast  Actual results have historically underperformed LRP forecasts by ~20% within 3-4 years  LRP is a management tool to express what is possible in the business  LRP is not meant to be a balanced perspective on forecast or probability-weighting of execution risk  LRP is the outcome of a strategic planning process outlining opportunities for growth  LRP in the context of valuation  LRP can be viewed as a base for probability-weighting on market and execution risks to assess likelihood of actual future results  Valuing the Company assuming 100% of LRP implicitly assumes zero execution risk on any of the growth opportunities  Investors have clearly discounted LRP forecast  TPG has previously mentioned that they are assuming 10% annual growth, which represents assumption of ~70% of LRP growth 
 

 Material risk factors to LRP forecast  Substantial execution and broader market risk factors  Risk Factor  Description / Management Commentary  Transaction Volume & ePay  Adoption  Retaining customers and increasing their adoption of ePay on the AvidPay Network  Transaction retention declined from 107% in 2022 to ~95% in 2025E in post-pandemic macroeconomic environment  LRP forecast assumes transaction retention rises back to 103%  New Customer Sales  LRP assumes 14% TSV growth in 2025E after multiple years of zero bookings growth  Strategies in place to reaccelerate bookings growth, but assume clear inflection   Assumed inflection is driven by new partnerships (AppFolio, REDACTED ), but the actual trajectory and impact of these partnerships remains to be seen  Yield Expansion  LRP assumes significant transaction revenue yield expansion  This is predicated on rising ePay adoption and new products  LRP assumes exiting 2025 with material increase in ePay penetration, particularly driven by new pay modes   Yield expansion alone is assumed drives 5-7% annual revenue growth, and this is predicated on new products that are either in early stages or entirely remain to be launched  Material Contribution of Future New Products  New products with minimal or zero revenue today are assumed to be material contributors to LRP forecast  Payment Accelerator 2.0, Spend Management, and new ePay solutions  Market & Competition   There may be material contraction in interchange rates over the next decade whether driven by regulatory requirements or pressure from supplier customers  Competitive AI-driven products may cause a paradigm shift in the competitive landscape  Existing parties in the ecosystem may opt to compete with AVDX by loss-leader strategy on pricing or customer rebates,  substantially deteriorating the industry’s economics  Profit Margin  LRP assumes EBITDA margin expansion from 19% in 2024 to 42% in 2029E  Meaningful execution risks to LRP assumptions regarding unit cost reduction and yield expansion  10 
 

 Risk Factor  Description / Analyst Commentary  Interchange Compression   “Weakness in monetization and volume, which defied our positive thesis that AVDX’s business model should be relatively resilient given its middle-market exposure and differentiated interchange pricing structure. Monetization trends at peer BILL also weaken our conviction that AVDX can improve its take-rate trajectory near term without help from the macro” (JPM Feb 2025).  Payment Mix   “Dependence on ACH and virtual card payments as the company earns a substantial portion of its revenue from electronic payment transactions, and its growth is dependent upon the continued acceptance, security, and adoption of electronic payment types that can be monetized by the company;” (UBS Feb 2025).  Transaction Retention   “Transactions retained on network continuing to be trending below 100% level, with Q4 exiting at roughly ~6% below the normalized level of 104-105% (i.e., HOA, marketing, and professional services verticals remained cautious on spending albeit gradually ramp up post election)” (UBS Feb 2025).  Competitive dynamics and technology developments (AI)   “We believe AVDX lacks a natural pure-play competitor focused on the same vertical markets and coming close to its scale, but there are diversified and larger competitors including fintechs and banks/issuers with deeper pockets and/or distribution advantages” (JPM Feb 2025).  “Moreover, emerging forms of fast ACH and real-time payments with enhanced data and lower variable  costs could become alternatives to virtual cards and pressure take rates longer term” (JPM Feb 2025).  Heightened cyclicality from real-estate concentration and limited penetration into additional verticals   “AVDX competes in seven primary verticals, some of which are exposed to cyclicality (bills paid positively correlated to business activity) such as real estate/HOA and construction.” (JPM Feb 2025).  Public perceptions on hitting numbers   “The [downward] outlook seems reasonable, if not beatable, but starting below the coveted double-digit mark with growth in-line with network growth in commercial among a cohort of double-digit B2B growers keeps us on the sidelines on AVDX stock with a close eye on macro recovery potential in order to get more constructive on shares.” (JPM Feb 2025).  Unaffected share price decline as a result of lower than expected 2025 guidance   Unaffected VWAP of $7.27 from the day following the company’s Q4’24 earnings announcement (2/26) – day prior to initial news leak (3/12)  Analyst commentary regarding key risk factors  10
