NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree to amend the Existing Warrant Agreement as set forth herein.
1. Amendment of Existing Warrant Agreement. The Existing Warrant Agreement is hereby amended by adding:
(a) the new Section 6A thereto:
“6A Mandatory Exchange.
6A.1 Company Election to Exchange. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to
the contrary, all (and not less than all) of the outstanding Warrants may be exchanged, at the option of the Company, at any time while they are exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to
the Registered Holders of the then outstanding Warrants, as described in Section 6A.2 below, for Common Stock (or any Alternative Issuance pursuant to Section 4.4), at the exchange rate of 0.27 shares of Common Stock (or any Alternative
Issuance pursuant to Section 4.4) for each Warrant held by the holder thereof (the “Consideration”) (subject to equitable adjustment by the Company in the event of any stock
splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock). In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares as
Consideration will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid in cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by $7.54.
6A.2 Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Exchange. In the event that the Company elects to exchange all of the Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for the exchange (the “Exchange Date”). Notice of exchange shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Exchange Date to the Registered
Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice.
The Company will make a public announcement of its election following the mailing of such notice.
6A.3 Exercise After Notice of Exchange. The Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a “cashless basis” in accordance with subsection 3.3.1(b) of this Agreement, with an
adjustment to the definition of “Fair Market Value” to substitute the date on which the notice of exchange is sent for the date on which the nature of redemption is sent) at any time after notice of exchange shall have been given by the
Company pursuant to Section 6A.2 hereof and prior to the Exchange Date. On and after the Exchange Date, the Registered Holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants, the
Consideration.”
2. Miscellaneous Provisions.
2.1 Severability. This Amendment shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of this Amendment or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Amendment a
provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.
2.2 Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Amendment and of the Warrants shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State
of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The Company hereby agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of
or relating in any way to this Amendment shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the City of New York, County of New York, State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably
submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The Company hereby waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
2.3 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of
telecommunication) and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words
of like import in this Amendment or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Amendment, if any, shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including,
without limitation, “pdf,” “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other
record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation,
any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.
2.4 Effect of Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience only and are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.
2.5 Entire Agreement. The Existing Warrant Agreement, as modified by this Amendment, constitutes the entire understanding of the parties and supersedes all prior
agreements, understandings, arrangements, promises and commitments, whether written or oral, express or implied, relating to the subject matter hereof, and all such prior agreements, understandings, arrangements, promises and commitments are
hereby canceled and terminated.

and Consent Solicitation Relating to its Warrants
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ, December 17, 2021 –– BTRS Holdings Inc. (“Billtrust” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BTRS), a B2B accounts receivable (AR) automation and integrated payments leader, announced today the
expiration and results of its previously announced exchange offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) relating to its outstanding warrants, each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class 1 Common
Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Warrants”). The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on December
16, 2021.
The Company has been advised that 12,391,408 Warrants (including 30,171 Warrants tendered through guaranteed delivery), or approximately 99.2% of the outstanding Warrants, were validly tendered and not
validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Company expects to accept all validly tendered Warrants for exchange and settlement on or before December 21, 2021.
In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of approximately 99.2% of the outstanding Warrants to amend the warrant agreement that governs the Warrants (the “Warrant
Amendment”), which exceeds the 50% of the outstanding Warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment. Accordingly, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into the Warrant Amendment, dated December 17,
2021, and the Company announced that it will exercise its right to exchange all remaining outstanding Warrants for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Amendment, and has fixed December 31, 2021 as the
exchange date.
The Company also announced that its Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering shares of Common Stock issuable in the Offer was declared
effective by the SEC on December 16, 2021.
BofA Securities, Inc. was the Dealer Manager for the Offer and Consent Solicitation. D.F. King & Co., Inc. served as the Information Agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company served as the Exchange Agent.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to exchange or the solicitation of an offer to exchange or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, nor shall there be any exchange or sale of

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this press release are “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “expect,” “will” or other similar expressions that
predict or indicate future events that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Billtrust’s acceptance of all validly tendered Warrants for exchange
of shares of Common Stock in the Offer and settlement thereof and the subsequent exercise of Billtrust’s right to exchange the remaining outstanding Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment. These statements are based on various
assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Billtrust’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative
purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or
impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Billtrust. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including Billtrust’s
ability to successfully exchange the remaining Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment; Billtrust’s ability to attract and retain customers and expand customers’ use of Billtrust’s services; market, financial, political and legal
conditions; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Billtrust’s business and the global economy; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial and operating information with respect to Billtrust; risks related to future
market adoption of Billtrust’s offerings; risks related to Billtrust’s marketing and growth strategies; risks related to expanding Billtrust's operations outside the United States; risks related to Billtrust's ability to acquire or invest
in businesses, products, or technologies that may complement or expand its products or platforms, enhance its technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities; the effects of competition on Billtrust’s future business; and
the risks discussed in Billtrust’s Prospectus/Exchange Offer filed with the SEC on December 16, 2021, under the heading “Risk Factors” and other documents of Billtrust filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks
materialize or any of Billtrust’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Billtrust presently does not know of
or that Billtrust currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Billtrust’s expectations, plans or
forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Billtrust anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Billtrust’s assessments to change. However, while Billtrust may elect to update these
forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Billtrust specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, except as may be required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Billtrust’s
assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
