On September 20, 2024, i3 Verticals, LLC (“LLC Seller”), a subsidiary of i3 Verticals, Inc. (“i3 Verticals” or the “Company”), and i3 Holdings Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of LLC Seller (“Corporation Seller,” and collectively with LLC Seller, the “Sellers”) completed the transactions (such closing, the “Closing”) contemplated by that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of June 26, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among LLC Seller, Corporation Seller, i3 Verticals (solely for the purpose of providing a guaranty of the obligations of Sellers as set forth in the Purchase Agreement), Payroc Buyer, LLC (“Buyer”), and Payroc WorldAccess, LLC (solely for the purpose of providing a guaranty of the obligations of Buyer as set forth in the Purchase Agreement), the entry into which Purchase Agreement was previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by i3 Verticals on June 26, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers sold to Buyer the equity interests of certain direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sellers (the “Acquired Entities”) primarily comprising i3 Verticals’s merchant services business, including its associated proprietary technology (the “Business”), after giving effect to the contribution of certain assets and the assignment of certain liabilities associated with the Business from LLC Seller and certain affiliates to the Acquired Entities pursuant to a contribution agreement which was entered into immediately prior to the Closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer paid to Sellers an aggregate purchase price of approximately $438 million (after giving effect to estimated net working capital, indebtedness and cash adjustments), payable in cash at the Closing, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments.

At the Closing, the parties and/or their affiliates entered into certain ancillary agreements, including (i) a transition services agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Sellers and/or affiliates thereof will provide certain information technology and operational transition services to Buyer for a period of time after the Closing, (ii) a processing services agreement, pursuant to which the parties will provide certain payment processing services to customers of each party, and (iii) a restrictive covenant agreement, pursuant to which i3 Verticals and Sellers will be bound by certain confidentiality covenants, non-competition and business relation non-solicitation covenants (with a term ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing) and employee non-solicitation covenants (with a term ending on the third anniversary of the Closing), subject to certain limitations as provided therein.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the Purchase Agreement is not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about i3 Verticals in its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and it is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, disclosures regarding any facts and circumstances relating to i3 Verticals, Sellers or the Business. In particular, the representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement (except with respect to the rights of specific third-party beneficiaries enumerated in the Purchase Agreement), may have been qualified in the Purchase Agreement by confidential disclosure schedules (which disclosure schedules may contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement), may be subject to limitations and contractual risk allocation mechanisms agreed upon by the parties to the Purchase Agreement, may have been included in the Purchase Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality that differ from what an investor may view as material, and thus should not be relied upon as necessarily reflecting the actual state of facts or conditions. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the parties.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

($ in thousands)

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company’s historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Sale and (2) factually supportable. The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income do not reflect the estimated gain on the Sale since this will be recognized in discontinued operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on information currently available and includes certain assumptions and adjustments that management believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only, and does not purport to show the results that would have occurred had such transactions been completed as of the date and for the periods presented, and may not be useful in predicting the impact of the Sale on the future financial condition and results of operations of the Company due to a variety of factors.

2.PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

a) Adjustments reflect the disposition of assets and liabilities attributable to the Merchant Services Business, which were included as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Company’s financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 9, 2024.

b) Adjustments reflect the cash purchase price paid upon the closing of the Sale of $438,304 (after giving effect to estimated net working capital, indebtedness and cash purchase price adjustments), and subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments. Of the cash proceeds received at the closing of the Sale, a portion of these proceeds will be utilized to pay down all outstanding principal and interest under the revolver at the closing pursuant to the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility, the principal of which was $351,400 as of June 30, 2024. The debt issuance costs of $3,508 related to the revolver pursuant to the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility are reclassified as an asset rather than a reduction in the related liability as the previously drawn amounts on the 2023 Senior Secured Credit Facility will be repaid. The remaining proceeds have been allocated to cash and cash equivalents. The remaining proceeds from the Sale are anticipated to be used to pay estimated transaction costs, estimated cash taxes distributions to LLC members for taxes estimated to be $79,718, and/or for general corporate purposes. Additionally, in early 2025, we expect to pay $10,152 for tax liabilities under our Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of the gain from the transaction and utilization of deferred tax assets.

c) Adjustments reflect the estimated net gain of $135,537 from the Sale, net of tax effects. The net gain is comprised of the $438,304 purchase price (after giving effect to estimated net working capital, indebtedness and cash purchase price adjustments), and subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments, less the estimated net carrying value of the Merchant Services business of $223,049, and estimated incremental transaction costs, estimated cash taxes and distributions to LLC members for taxes estimated to be $79,718.

d) Adjustments reflect the costs incurred related to the Sale during the nine months ending June 30, 2024.

e) Adjustment reflects the estimated reduction in interest expense resulting from the repayment of debt described in the balance sheet adjustments.

f) Adjustments reflect the income tax effects of all pro forma adjustments based on an estimated blended federal and state statutory tax rate of 25.00%.

g) Adjustment reflects the removal of the income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest associated with the transaction accounting adjustments.

h) The changes in basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations reflect (i) changes to net income (loss) from continuing operations resulting from the pro forma adjustments herein; and (ii) changes to weighted average diluted shares outstanding due to the inclusion of potentially dilutive securities that were not considered for the historical periods because the impact would have been anti-dilutive in the historical period. These potentially dilutive securities that were included in the pro forma calculation but were excluded from the historical calculation consist of the weighted average shares of Class B common stock along with the reallocation of net income assuming conversion of these shares and estimated stock option exercises and restricted stock units vesting as calculated by the treasury stock method.

i) Adjustments reflect the elimination of revenues and expenses attributable to the Merchant Services Business, which were included in the Company’s historical financial statements.

j) The changes in basic and diluted EPS from continuing operations reflect changes to net income (loss) from continuing operations resulting from the pro forma adjustments herein.

k) The changes in basic and diluted EPS from continuing operations reflect (i) changes to net income (loss) from continuing operations resulting from the pro forma adjustments herein; and (ii) changes to weighted average diluted shares outstanding due to the exclusion of potentially dilutive securities in the pro forma calculation that were considered for the historical periods because the impact would have been anti-dilutive to the Company in the pro forma calculation. These potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the pro forma calculation but were included in the historical calculation consist of the weighted average shares of Class B common stock along with the reallocation of net income assuming conversion of these shares.
