Process Update

 

 

 

 

Restricted - External Overview of process & dialogue 4 Preliminary conversations addressing inbound interest in H2f24 led to formal process held in January 2025 12 7 4 2 Inbound Interest and Introductory Dialogue (Q3/Q4f24) Still Active Highly Active in Post- NDA Diligence (Mid/Late January 2025) Signed NDAs and Invited to Formal Process (Mid-January 2025) . In the preceding months through Q4f24, the Company engaged with inbound interest from various potential acquirers by holding introductory conversations both in person and via videocall . The Company signed NDAs with seven parties that had communicated credible preliminary interest in a potential transaction . These seven received invites to a virtual data room on or around 1/18, and they were sent process letters asking for IOIs to be submitted by 1/28 . Four parties engaged in notably active post-NDA activity that included submitting diligence requests and holding calls and meetings covering financial and business strategy diligence including with the Companyfs CEO and CFO . Bain Capital submitted a non-binding IOI on 1/28 . TPG remains highly active in finalizing their initial diligence and potentially imminently submitting a non-binding IOI

 

 

 

 

Restricted - External Pass rationale summary Selected pass rationale among post-NDA parties who elected not to submit IOIs Five Parties Passed Post-NDA(a) Did not engage in process post invitation . Clearlake . GTCR . TA Associates Passed after diligence . Silver Lake . Thoma Bravo Slowing growth in recent years and in near-term outlook . Multi-year trend of slowing topline growth across revenue, volume, and customer counts mutes interest from parties seeking to invest into businesses with stronger current growth profile Inability to offer compelling purchase price premium to public market value . Initial conversations with some parties took place in 2024 when the share price was trading at ~$8 . By January when the Companyfs share price had appreciated to $10-11, some parties indicated they could not offer a compelling premium to current public market value Lack of visibility in various cited growth opportunities underlying the Companyfs LRP model . Desire to see material traction in identified growth vectors such as Payments Accelerator, new pay modes, and Spend Management in order to more fully underwrite the growth projected in the LRP Revenue mix . Some parties cited desire to see mix and growth opportunities more heavily weighted to software revenue versus the majority of the Companyfs existing revenue coming from payment monetization Seeking transformational component of investment thesis . One party noted desire for notionally gtransformationalh opportunity, such as major imminent M&A, to form the core of their investment thesis, versus just underwriting incremental product roadmap and go-to-market growth drivers Complexities and timing associated with regulatory approvals required to close . Necessity of securing MTL license transfers add transaction complexity and significant time between signing and closing, impacting potential buyer interest 5 (a) Among the twelve parties with which the Company engaged in preliminary dialogue, five did not proceed to NDA signing. These five were Summit Partners, Vista Equity, Blackstone, Constellation, and Francisco Partners.
