Contingent Value Payments

In 2019, the CVR Bonus Award Plan ("CVR Plan") was established for the benefit of option holders as of February 11, 2019 in the event that holders of Class A-1 common shares of EngageSmart, LLC (the Company's predecessor) receive cash distributions in connection with certain exit events specified under EngageSmart, LLC's LLC Agreement of at least $889.1 million (the “Performance Threshold”). Subject to the achievement of the Performance Threshold, CVR Unit Awards ("CVR Units") entitle the holder, subject generally to the holder’s continued employment through the date of payment, to a pro-rata portion of a bonus pool (based on a participant’s share of CVR Units held). The maximum amount of this bonus pool was capped at $9.5 million, of which, $6.0 million remains outstanding as of September 30, 2023. No compensation expense has been recognized in relation to the CVR Plan as the Company has determined that achievement of the Performance Threshold is not probable as of September 30, 2023.

In connection with the Company’s IPO in 2021, the CVR Plan was amended to reflect the conversion of EngageSmart, LLC to EngageSmart, Inc. and the CVR Units otherwise remain subject to substantially the same terms and conditions applicable immediately prior to the Company’s IPO. Following the IPO and the conversion of EngageSmart, LLC to EngageSmart, Inc. (and related transactions), General Atlantic subscribed and received 288,344 additional shares of common stock in the Company, with the value of each share based on the public offering price of the shares of common stock sold by the Company in the IPO. As consideration for the additional shares of common stock, General Atlantic entered into a promissory note with the Company, which requires General Atlantic to make a capital contribution to the Company equal to the amount of any future payments to be made by the Company to holders of CVR Units pursuant to the CVR Plan, which such payments would be triggered by the events specified under the amended CVR Plan. In the event the CVR Units are forfeited or the Performance Threshold is not met, General Atlantic will not be required to make any payments under the promissory note and will keep the shares issued.

Indemnification Agreements

In the normal course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to third parties and may enter into commitments and guarantees (“Agreements”) under which it may be required to make payments. The duration of these Agreements varies, and in certain cases, may be indefinite with no limit to the Company’s maximum potential payment exposure. In addition, the Company has obligations with certain members of its board of directors and certain executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and/or officers. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any claims under any indemnification arrangements will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is from time to time subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company routinely assesses its current litigation and/or threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability. In situations where the Company assesses the likelihood of loss as probable, the Company records its best estimate of the ultimate loss if reasonably possible to estimate. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that these pending or threatened legal proceedings or claims could not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
