Explanatory Note

On February 14, 2024, PAR Technology Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) to report the elimination of the role of Chief Product and Technology Officer and, as a result, the termination of the employment of Raju Malhotra, effective February 9, 2024 (the “Separation Date”). This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A is being filed to supplement the disclosure contained in Item 5.02 of the Original Form 8-K to provide the terms of Mr. Malhotra’s separation from service. The Original Form 8-K otherwise remains unchanged.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 26, 2024, Mr. Malhotra delivered a release of claims in favor of the Company, and in consideration of his release, Mr. Malhotra is entitled to receive the following separation payments and benefits; provided, that he does not elect to revoke the release of claims within the seven-day revocation period:

•The sum of $138,667 (equal to four months of his base salary) and payment of the employer’s portion of his COBRA medical coverage for two months.

•Payment of his earned annual short-term incentive ("STI") cash performance bonus for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The amount of his STI cash performance bonus will be determined and paid according to the Company's STI program, without regard to any continued employment requirement.

•Suspension of the continued employment requirement to permit his vesting in (i) the portion of his time-based and performance-based restricted stock units otherwise scheduled to vest in early March 2024, and (ii) the portion of his time-based and performance-based stock options otherwise scheduled to vest in February 2024 and March 2024. The remainder of his unvested equity awards terminated on his Separation Date according to the terms of the applicable award agreements.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the letter of separation dated February 9, 2024, which will be filed as an exhibit to the next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Company and is incorporated herein by reference.
