INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date, April 26, 2021,28, 2023, are entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote the shares for which they are stockholders of record on that date at the Annual Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on April 26, 2021,28, 2023, we had 12,200,30212,288,439 shares of common stock outstanding.

How do I vote?

With respect to Proposal No. 1, you may either vote “FOR” each of the Class IIII nominees to the Board of Directors, or you may vote “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” for the nominees. For each of the other proposals to be voted on, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or abstain from voting altogether. The procedures for voting are fairly simple:

Stockholders of Record:    Shares Registered in Your Name. If on April 26, 2021,28, 2023, your shares were registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote virtually at the Annual Meeting or vote by giving us your proxy. You may give us your proxy submitting it over the internet or via phone or by completing, signing, dating and returning your proxy card. Whether or not you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting, we urge you to give us your proxy by telephone or overthrough the Internet, or by completing, signing, dating and returning your proxy card or voting instruction form, to ensure your vote is counted. You may still participate in the Annual Meeting and vote virtually if you have already voted by proxy or have otherwise given your proxy authorization.

•        VIRTUALLYVIRTUALLY:    :    To vote virtually, participate in the Annual Meeting, and submit your vote via the website.

•        BY MAILMAIL:    :    If you received a proxy card by mail and choose to vote by mail, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the postage paid envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

Beneficial Owners:    Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank. If on April 26, 2021,28, 2023, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from the Company. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may be able to vote by telephone or over the internet as instructed by your broker or bank. To vote virtually at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy card.

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock for which you are the stockholder of record as of April 26, 2021.28, 2023.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please provide a response for each proxy card you receive to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

3

Table of Contents

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted: “FOR” the election of the two Class IIII director nominees named herein to serve on the Board of Directors, “FOR” the approval of the BM Technologies 2021 Employee Stock Purchaseamendment to our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BDO USAKPMG LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.2023.

If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as recommended by the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, will vote your shares using his or her discretion.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy card?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the stockholder of record of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

•        You may change your vote using the same method that you first used to vote your shares;

•        You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to BM Technologies, Inc., 201 King of Prussia Road, Suite 350,650, Wayne, Pennsylvania, Attention: Robert Ramsey,James Dullinger, Chief Financial Officer; or

•        You may participate in the Annual Meeting and vote virtually. Simply participating in the Annual Meeting, however, will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or bank.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count “FOR” and “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” votes for Proposal No. 1, and with respect to ProposalProposals No. 2 and No. 3, “FOR,” “AGAINST” and “ABSTAIN.” A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee, such as a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, holding shares for a beneficial owner, does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions with respect to that proposal from the beneficial owner. In the event that a broker, bank, custodian, nominee or other record holder of our common stock indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to that proposal. Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your vote is counted on each of the proposals.

If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. We believe that each of Proposal Nos.No. 1 (election of directors) and Proposal No. 2 (approval of Employee Stock Purchase Program)(amendment to 2020 Equity Incentive Plan) is each a non-routine proposal. Since these proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are not routine matters, the broker or nominee that holds your shares will need to obtain your authorization to vote those shares and will enclose a voting instruction form with this proxy statement. The broker or nominee will vote your shares as you direct on their voting instruction form so it is important that you include voting instructions.

Abstentions will be treated as shares present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.Meeting but not as a vote cast on any matter.

Table of Contents

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

The following table describes the voting requirement for each proposal:

Proposal 1

 

Election of two Class IIII Directors

 

TheDirectors are elected by a plurality, meaning that the two nominees receiving the most “FOR” votes, among votes properly cast virtually or by proxy, will be elected, even if they receive approval from less than a majority of the votes cast. Because the nominees are running unopposed, all nominees are expected to be elected as directors, as all nominees who receive votes in favor will be elected, while votes not cast or voted “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” will have no effect on the election outcome.

Proposal 2

 

Approval ofAmendment to the BM Technologies, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase2020 Equity Incentive Plan

 

This proposal must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of common stockvotes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Proposal 3

 

Ratification of the appointment of BDO USAKPMG LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 20212023

 

This proposal must be approved by a majority of votes cast by the outstanding shares of common stockstockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

How many shares must be present to constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are represented by stockholders present at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. On April 26, 2021,28, 2023, the record date, there were 12,200,30212,288,439 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, 6,100,1526,144,220 shares must be represented by stockholders present at the Annual Meeting or by proxy to have a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote virtually at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be counted towards the quorum requirement.

If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, or if a quorum is present but there are not enough votes to approve one or more of the proposals, the person named as chairmanchair of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. A stockholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals in this proxy statement prior to any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval on such proposal(s).

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

Table of Contents

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

The Company will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. The Company may engage a third party proxy solicitor. The proxy solicitor may call you and ask you to vote your shares. The proxy solicitor will not attempt to influence how you vote your shares, but only ask that you take the time to cast a vote. You may also be asked if you would like to vote over the telephone and to have your vote transmitted to our proxy tabulation firm.

In addition to these written proxy materials, directors, officers and employees of BM Technologies, Inc. may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication; however, the directors, officers and employees of BM Technologies, Inc. will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited in person and/or by telephone or facsimile transmission by any proxy solicitor, directors, officers or employees of BM Technologies, Inc.

The Company may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

How many copies should I receive if I share an address with another stockholder?

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

Under this procedure, brokers are permitted to deliver a single copy of our Notice and, as applicable, any additional proxy materials that are delivered until such time as one or more of these shareholders notifies their broker that they want to receive separate copies.

Mr. Hodari is not considered a “independent director” as defined under the listing requirements and rules of the NYSE American exchange and the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

The directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting, which means that the two nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. Any shares not voted, whether by withheld authority, broker non-votes, abstention or otherwise, will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors. There are no cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the election of all of the nominees whose names are set forth on the following pages. A stockholder can vote for or withhold his or her vote from each nominee. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote such proxy for the election of the nominees named below. If a nominee should decline or be unable to serve as a director, it is intended that the proxy will be voted for the election of such person who is nominated as a replacement.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of its directors and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable. In addition, our Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are posted on the Corporate Governance portion of the Company’s website. We will post amendments to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or waivers of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors and officers on the same website.

Board Composition

Our business affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Our Board consists of seven members, at least a majority of whom qualify as independent within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of the NYSE American. Ms. Sidhu and Mr. Hodari are not considered independent.

Our Board is divided into three staggered classes of directors. At each annual meeting of our stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the same class whose term is then expiring, as follows:

•        the Class I directors are Aaron Hodari and John Dolan, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024;

•        the Class II directors are A.J. Dunklau, Marcy Schwab, and Mike Gill, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025; and

•        the Class III directors are Luvleen Sidhu and Brent Hurley, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023.

Our Charter provides that the Company’s Board will consist of one or more members, and the number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by a resolution of the Company Board. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the total number of directors. This classification of the Company Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of the Company.

Each of the Company’s officers serves at the discretion of the Company Board and will hold office until his or her successor is duly appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. There are no family relationships among any of the directors or officers of the Company. The Company Board has appointed Mike Gill as lead director to help management coordinate with the independent directors.

Director Independence

The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the NYSE American. Under the NYSE American rules, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the NYSE American rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the NYSE American rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE American. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the NYSE American rules.

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of the NYSE American, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of the NYSE American, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the member of the compensation committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether the director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to: (i) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the company to such director; and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.

Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director of the Company has a material relationship with the Company that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, we determined that John Dolan, Mike Gill, Brent Hurley, A.J. Dunklau, and Marcy Schwab will be considered “independent directors” as defined under the listing requirements and rules of the NYSE American and the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

Board Leadership Structure

We believe that the structure of our Board and its committees will provide strong overall management of the Company.

Committees of the Company Board

The Company Board has an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of the Board of Directors is described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until as otherwise determined by the Company Board.

Audit Committee

Each of the members of the Company’s audit committee satisfies the requirements for independence and financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and rules of the NYSE American. The Company also determined that Mr. Dolan qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the SEC rules and satisfies the financial sophistication requirements of the NYSE American. The Company’s audit committee is responsible for, among other things:

•        selecting a qualified firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements;

•        helping to ensure the independence and performance of the independent registered public accounting firm;

•        discussing the scope and results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing, with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Company’s interim and year-end financial statements;

•        developing procedures for employees to submit concerns anonymously about questionable accounting or audit matters;

•        reviewing the Company’s policies on and oversees risk assessment and risk management, including enterprise risk management;

•        reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control policies and procedures and the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures; and

Executive Compensation Program Overview

Elements of Total Direct Compensation and Alignment with Performance

Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract and retain key talent to pursue strategies and implement business plans that promote growth and motivate long-term shareholder value creation. The key components of our NEO’s total direct compensation consist of base salary, annual incentives, and long-term incentives (“LTI”). Target total direct compensation for each NEO is benchmarked relative to similarly-sized companies within the consumer finance and application software industries. Each element of annual and long-term incentive compensation is tied to performance and is closely linked to our strategy, growth model, financial objectives and ultimately to continued value creation for our shareholders.

Target Compensation is at or Below 25th Percentile vs. Market

In setting target compensation levels for the NEOs, the Compensation Committee reviews publicly disclosed data provided by BankMobile Technologies, Inc. All cash amountsits compensation consultant, Pearl Meyer, with respect to companies within the consumer finance and application software industries, with annual revenues within a reasonable range of BM Technologies. In setting target compensation levels, the Compensation Committee considers this data as well as BM Technologies’ compensation philosophy, which emphasizes at risk incentive compensation in the form of annual and long-term incentives. Versus the compensation data, aggregate base salaries for the NEOs were positioned below the 25th percentile, and the 2023 long-term incentive grants (which are further described below) were positioned at the 25th percentile.

Significant Percentage of Executive Pay is At Risk and Set to Robust Financial Targets

Since NEO compensation is paid primarily in the form of annual and long-term incentive awards, a significant percentage of executive pay is at risk and variable based on the annual and long-term performance of the Company. Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PBRSUs”), which comprise 50% of the long-term incentive award, will only be paid if 3 to 5-year financial targets are achieved. Time-Based Restricted Stock Units (“TBRSUs”), which comprise the remaining 50% of the long-term incentive award and vest ratably over a three- or four-year period, derive their value directly from the Company’s common stock price appreciation, which in the long-term, reflects Company performance and is directly linked to shareholder returns.

•        Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units:    Will not be paid/earned if the Company’s performance does not meet the threshold performance requirement for the three to five-year period. For the PBRSUs granted in fiscal year 2023, the threshold performance requirement includes doubling the market capitalization (as of the grant date) and increasing Core EBITDA by 40% over 2022, which represents 3-year compound annual growth rates of 26% and 12%, respectively.

•        Time-Based Restricted Stock Units:    Value can decline significantly from the grant date to the extent that Company performance declines and common stock price falls.

Long-Term Incentive Program Overview

The Company has periodically granted long-term incentives to NEOs from the 2020 wereEquity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) in the form of PBRSUs, which are tied to the achievement of Company financial objectives over a three-year to five-year period, and TBRSUs, which vest ratably over a four-year period. The PBRSUs are subject to the achievement of targeted growth levels of the Company’s market capitalization and Core EBITDA.

The Company made LTI awards under the 2020 Plan to NEOs in fiscal years 2021 and 2023. In fiscal year 2022, BM Technologies did not provide any LTI awards to NEOs; the amounts provided in the Stock Awards column of our Summary Compensation table for 2022 represent the portion of the annual bonus that was paid in TBRSUs, which vest ratably over a three-year period.

On March 31, 2023, the Company granted the following LTI awards to Ms. Sidhu, Mr. Donahue, and Mr. Dullinger. Subject to the approval of Proposal 2 by BankMobile Technologies, Inc.shareholders, the Company also intends to grant the following TBRSUs and PBRSUs to Mr. Singh. For each of the LTI awards, we have shown the grant date fair value (accounting value on the date of grant) as well as the grant date fair value annualized over the vesting periods of the TBRSUs and PBRSUs (four years and three years, respectively). As our LTI program has provided for periodic, rather than regular annual grants, the Compensation Committee believes this is an important metric to consider with respect to the total annualized value of the program at target levels of performance.

A significant proportion of the LTI awards for the executive team are subject to the achievement of market capitalization and Core EBITDA goals; and to the extent that the goal levels under the outstanding PBRSUs are not achieved during the service period, the awards are forfeited.

PROPOSAL NO. 2
APPROVAL OF THE BM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASEAMENDMENT TO 2020 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company isOverview

In this proposal, we are requesting that shareholders approve an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the BM Technologies, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Purchase2020 Plan,” and together with the Amendment, the “Amended 2020 Plan”). The following summary of major featuresAs a result of the Purchasecontinued growth of the Company’s business and its ongoing need to attract and retain highly-qualified employees, the Board of Directors believes that it is desirable and in the Company’s best interests to amend the 2020 Plan, as described in the Amendment. The Amendment, if approved, would increase the total number of shares of our common stock authorized under the 2020 Plan by 1,279,963, from 1,220,037 (the number of shares authorized under the original 2020 Plan) to 2,500,000. The Amendment relates only to the proposed increase in the number of shares authorized and therefore available for awards — no other changes to the 2020 Plan are being proposed. The 2020 Plan was originally approved at the Special Meeting of Shareholders on December 21, 2020. On April 28, 2023, the Board, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, unanimously adopted the Amendment and directed that the Amendment be submitted for shareholder approval at the 2023 Annual Meeting. If shareholders approve the Amendment, the Amendment will go into effect immediately and the terms of the original 2020 Plan, other than the number of shares authorized for awards, will continue in full force and effect. The full text of the 2020 Plan is subjectincluded in Appendix A to the specific provisions inthis Proxy Statement and the full text of the Purchase Plan set forth as Exhibit “A”Amendment is included in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

The PurchaseAs of April 28, 2023, the date the Board approved the Amendment (subject to shareholder approval), the number of shares that were available for awards under the 2020 Plan was approximately 124,536, (100,000 of which have been committed for non-executive merit-based awards); however, the issuance of 250,000 TBRSUs and 250,000 PBRSUs, which were committed to our Co-Chief Executive Officer Rajinder Singh as an inducement to him joining the Company, and any additional shares that may be granted under the Plan, are contingent upon shareholder approval of this Proposal 2.

There are no shares available for future awards under any other equity-based compensation plan that the Company had adopted previously. If the Amendment to increase the number of shares available for awards is not approved, it will be difficult for the Board and the Compensation Committee to include equity-based compensation as part of the compensation packages made available to participants at levels the Board and the Compensation Committee believe is necessary to attract and retain highly-qualified employees. If that were to occur, the Board and the Compensation Committee would consider non-equity-based alternatives for compensating participants while maintaining, to the greatest extent possible, the objectives of the Company’s compensation programs. In addition, if the Amendment to increase the number of shares available for awards is not approved, we would be unable to issue RSUs to Mr. Singh and we would be required to find some alternative arrangement to induce him to remain as our Co-Chief Executive Officer. If approved, the Amendment would increase the shares available under the 2020 Plan by 1,279,963 shares, which we estimate would be sufficient for at least 12 months of awards.

500,000 RSUs

On March 24, 2023, our Compensation Committee approved the employment agreement for our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Rajinder Singh, including a commitment to grant 250,000 TBRSUs and 250,000 PBRSUs as an inducement for him to join the Company, which requires the approval by shareholders of Proposal 2. If Proposal 2 is not approved, we will be obligated to find another method of compensation and inducement. We strongly believe that building a franchise of equity ownership among our key executives aligns management and shareholder interests by encouraging the achievement of strategic and financial performance metrics that create shareholder value. Further, by paying these awards in RSUs, half of which are time and service based and vest ratably over four years, and half of which are performance and service based and vest upon satisfaction of certain performance targets within three to five years, we create strong incentives for retention and service.

Table of Contents

779,963 Additional Shares

If Proposal 2 is approved, in addition to the contingent RSUs discussed above, the shares available under the 2020 Plan will permitbe increased by an additional 779,963 shares, which we estimate would be sufficient for at least 12 months of awards. As noted above, the ability to pay future incentive and inducement awards is an important aspect of the Company’s compensation program, and we strongly believe that paying equity awards, as opposed to cash, benefits the Company and our shareholders by aligning interests and encouraging retention.

The Amended 2020 Plan provides for the grant of options, including incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards (performance shares or performance units), other share or cash-based awards and dividend equivalents to eligible individuals. The basis for participation in the Amended 2020 Plan is the determination by the Compensation Committee that an award to an eligible participant will support the purposes of the plan of promoting the creation of long-term value for shareholders of the Company by closely aligning the interests of our shareholders and the participants in the Amended 2020 Plan, and attracting, motivating and retaining high-performing individuals. Certain of the awards are based on achievement of predefined performance goals, which may include Company performance goals, department performance goals or individual performance goals. In making its determinations, the Compensation Committee may consider the recommendations of management and, in its discretion, may delegate authority to one or more officers of the Company to grant awards to employees who are not “officers” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Employees, non-employee Directors and consultants of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the Amended 2020 Plan. As with most companies in our industry, the number of our employees (including employees of our subsidiaries and affiliates) varies over time. As of March 31, 2023, our employee population eligible to receive awards under the Amended 2020 Plan consisted of approximately 210 individuals, including full-time, part-time, temporary and seasonal employees. In addition, our non-employee Directors are eligible to receive awards under the Amended 2020 Plan.

On April 28, 2023, the closing price of our voting common stock on the NYSE American was $3.00.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the
Amendment to the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.

As part of our Compensation Committee’s recommendation to the Board to approve the Amendment, the Compensation Committee considered the following metrics and plan practices. Our equity compensation program aligns the interests of our employees, officers and directors with those of our shareholders. In support of this objective, our Compensation Committee evaluates our historical run rate.

Low Historical Run Rate

Our historical run rate is equal to the number of shares subject to equity awards granted during a period, assuming the target payout for PBRSUs, in proportion to weighted average common shares outstanding. Our run rate at the end of each of the last three fiscal years was 0.77% for fiscal 2022, 6.02% for fiscal 2021, and 0% for fiscal 2020. Our three-year average run rate for fiscal years 2020 through 2022 was 2.26%

In evaluating our historical run rate, the Compensation Committee also considers the fact that the PBRSUs are at-risk and subject to the achievement of the financial performance conditions. As none of the PBRSUs had vested as of March 31st, 2023, our 3-year average run rate for fiscal years 2020 through 2022 excluding the PBRSUs was significantly lower, at 1.29%.

The Company also considers our run rate relative to our industry peers. Relative to run-rate benchmarks as provided by shareholder advisory firms, our historical run rates are conservative and well below the median of our industry.

The above run rate figures represent equity grants provided under the 2020 Plan and exclude a one-time grant of 1,317,035 shares in fiscal year 2021 by the Company’s former parent, Customers Bank, in connection with our Business Combination. As these shares represented a one-time grant with respect to the Business Combination, and they are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing annual grant practices.

The following table shows certain information about all outstanding equity awards from previously approved equity plans as of March 31, 2023:

•        124,536 shares were available for future awards (100,000 of these shares have been committed for non-executive merit-based awards, with an expected grant date of May 1st, 2023); and

•        893,478 full value awards were outstanding and unvested.

The Company has not, as of March 31st, 2023, issued any stock options or stock appreciation rights under the 2020 Plan.

The 2020 Plan Incorporates a Number of Best Practices

The proposed Amendment reflects best practices in equity compensation and corporate governance. Highlights from the 2020 Plan are as follows:

•        The 2020 Plan provides for performance awards. The Compensation Committee may issue performance awards that vest upon the accomplishment of performance goals over one year or multiple years. Applicable performance goals and performance periods will be established by the Compensation Committee.

•        Awards issued to executive officers of the Company under the 2020 Plan are subject to a compensation recovery provision. If the Company must restate its financial results, and an officer’s actions or omissions are a significant contributing factor to the cause of the restatement, then the amount of Excess Compensation realized by an executive officer shall be subject to recover by the Company, with Excess Compensation meaning the excess of (i) the actual amount of cash-based or equity-based incentive compensation received by an executive officer over (ii) the compensation that would have been received based on the restated financial results during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare such restatement.

•        The 2020 Plan incorporates a number of compensation and governance practices to protect shareholders’ interests, such as no evergreen feature providing for any automatic increases to the share pool in each year, and no payments of dividend or dividend equivalent on unvested or unearned shares.

Summary of the 2020 Plan

General.    The purposes of the 2020 Plan are to recognize contributions made to the Company and its affiliates by its employees, directors, consultants and advisors, to provide such persons with additional incentive to devote themselves to the future success of the Company and to improve the ability of the Company to attract, retain and motivate individuals upon whom the Company’s sustained growth and financial success depend. These incentives are provided through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and dividend equivalent rights. Any of these awards may, but need not, be made as performance incentives.

Authorized Shares.    1,220,037 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan. As of the record date, 124,536 shares (100,000 of which have been committed for non-executive merit-based awards) remain available to be granted under the 2020 Plan. If the Amendment is approved, an additional 1,279,963 shares of common stock will be available for issuance under the Amended 2020 Plan, 500,000 of which will be granted to our Co-Chief Executive Officer.

If shares covered by an award are not purchased or are forfeited or expire, or otherwise terminate without delivery of any shares subject thereto, then such shares will, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination, cash-settlement or expiration, be available for future grant under the 2020 Plan. If any options or stock appreciation rights terminate or expire without being fully exercised or are canceled, forfeited or cash-settled, the shares for which the option or stock appreciation right was not exercised may granted again under the 2020 Plan; provided, that to the extent any shares subject to an option or stock-settled stock appreciation right are withheld for payment of the purchase or exercise price or for payment of taxes, such withheld shares will be treated as granted and will not again be available for future grants. If any full-value award is canceled, forfeited or cash-settled, the shares for which such award was canceled, forfeited or cash-settled may be granted again under the 2020 Plan; provided that to the extent shares subject to a full-value award are not actually issued at the time of exercise or settlement, including shares withheld for taxes, such withheld shares will not again be available for future grants.

Adjustments to Shares Subject to the 2020 Plan.    In the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other change in the number or class of issued or outstanding securities resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of the Company’s Common Stock and/or other outstanding equity securities or a recapitalization or other capital adjustment affecting the Company’s Common Stock, the administrator (as defined below) has the authority to make appropriate adjustments to the aggregate number of shares and class of shares as to which awards may be granted, the limitations as to grants to non-employee directors, the number of shares covered by each outstanding award and the option price for each related outstanding option and stock appreciation right.

The Company Board may establish one or more committees to administer the 2020 Plan with respect to separate classes of grantees (other than officers subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act) and the Company Board will act as the administrator with respect to awards made to non-employee directors.

The administrator’s interpretation and construction of any provisions of the 2020 Plan or any award are final, binding and conclusive.

The grantee may pay the exercise price of an option (i) in cash, (ii) by certified check or (iii) by such method as the administrator approves, including payment through a broker.

Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have voting rights with respect to such shares upon grant unless the administrator provides otherwise. Recipients of restricted stock awards are not entitled to receive any dividends with respect to such shares until the shares become vested.

Administration of the Purchase Plan

The Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) administers the Purchase Plan except where the Purchase Plan specifically reserves the determination of matters to the Board of Directors. The Committee has the authority to make final and binding decisions, determinations of all questions of, and interpretations with respect to,amend the operation of the Purchase Plan.

Participation in the Purchase2020 Plan

The Board of Directors will, from time to time in its discretion, make offerings to eligible employees to purchase the Company’s common stock under the Purchase Plan. The terms and conditions for each such offering shall specify the offering date, the offering price, the offering period and the number of shares of common stocktime; provided that may be purchased under the offering. The offering period may have a length between one month and one year. The Committee will give notice to eligible employees of each offering and the terms and conditions for each offering. Each eligible employee who desires to accept all or any part of the option to purchase shares of common stock under an offering shall signify his or her election to do so by authorizing the Company, in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee, to make payroll deductions pursuant to the Plan.

Purchasing Stock

A participant may designate that the Company use payroll deductions to purchase stock at a rate thatstockholder consent is at least 1% and that does not exceed 5% of such participant’s compensation, which rate the Board of Directors may change from time to time. Such election and authorization must be made at least 15 days prior to an offering period and shall continue in effect unless and until such participant changes his or her payroll deductions or terminates his or her employment with the Company. The price of each share of common stock purchased under the Purchase Plan will be equal to its fair market value as of the end of such offering period less a 15% discount. The Purchase Plan defines “fair market value” as follows: (a) if the common stock is traded on a national securities exchange, the closing price on the applicable day, or if the common stock did not trade on such day, the closing price on the most recent preceding day on which there was a trade; (b) if the common stock is quoted on an automated quotation system, the closing price on the applicable day, or if the common stock did not trade on such day, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on such day; or (c) in all other cases, the “fair market value” as determined by the Committee in good faith and using such financial sources as it deems relevant and reliable (but in any event not less than fair market value within the meaning of Code Section 409A). The number of shares purchased is determined by dividing the payroll deductions for the payroll period by the price paid by the participant.

Limitations

If the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or reclassification of the Company’s common stock or similar event affecting the common stock, the Board will appropriately adjust the number of shares available under the Purchase Plan.

The Purchase Plan does not permit a participant to purchase common stock with a fair market value in excess of $25,000 in any one calendar year. These limitations are to ensure, in part, that the Purchase Plan complies with Code requirements.

A participant does not have the rights of a shareholder until the participant actually purchases the shares of stock. A participant may not transfer the right to purchase stock under the Purchase Plan.

Withdrawing from the Purchase Plan

A participant may stop participating in the Purchase Plan at any time by providing notice in the form specified by the Committee. A participant may, at any time, elect to withdraw part or all of the shares of Common Stock, except fractional shares, held in his or her account. Thereafter, a certificate for the number of whole shares which such participant has elected to withdraw shall be issued to him or her. No certificate for fractional shares will be issued, and the value of any fractional shares shall be paid in cash. If a participant terminates employment at the Company at any time, participation in the Purchase Plan automatically terminates.

On April 27, 2021, the Company dismissed Withum as the principal accountants for the Company. The decision to change the Company’s principal accountants was recommended by our Audit Committee and subsequently approved by the Board. Concurrently therewith, the Audit Committee recommended, and the Board approved, the accounting firm of BDO as its new principal accountants for the year ending December 31, 2021.

The audit reports of Withum on the consolidated financial statements of the Company (and its predecessor, Megalith Financial Acquisition Corporation) as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is studying the effects of recent pronouncements of the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding accounting treatment of public and private warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies that ultimately could result in a restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. No determination has been made by the Company at this time that its prior statements cannot be relied upon nor has Withum determined at this time that its prior audit opinions should not be relied upon. Either of those events, however, could occur depending upon the outcome of the analysis currently being undertaken by the Company. Should either of those events occur, appropriate disclosure will be made at that time.

During the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years and through the date of the Company’s engagement of BDO, there were no disagreements or reportable events, as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Withum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its report.

During the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years and through the date of the Company’s engagement of BDO, the Company did not consult with BDO regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided by BDO that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or reportable event, as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively.

The Company requested and received from Withum a letter, dated April 29, 2021, addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) stating whether or not Withum agreed with certain of the above statements regarding Withum. A copy of the letter was filed as Exhibit 99.1 (which was incorporated by reference therein) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 29, 2021.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has established, and our Board of Directors has approved, a pre-approval policy that describes the permitted audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided by BDO USA LLP,KPMG, the Company’s independent registered accounting firm. The policy requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the firm’s independence.

Any requests for audit, audit-related, tax and other services that have not received general pre-approval must be submitted to the Audit Committee for specific pre-approval, irrespective of the amount, and cannot commence until such approval has been granted. Normally, pre-approval is provided at regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee. However, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members.

The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Document. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be deemed reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents, or may be treated as a cumulative right to the cash amount of such dividends. Any reinvestment of deemed dividends in shares of Common Stock shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of the deemed dividend distribution. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or Common Stock or a combination thereof, and shall be paid or distributed in a single payment or distribution on (or as soon as practicable following) the date the underlying Award has vested (taking into account the extent of such vesting) and any such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions and to the same extent as the underlying Award to which the Dividend Equivalent Right is related expires or is forfeited. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee in the Award Document, a Grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights or interest equivalents shall automatically terminate upon the Grantee’s termination of Service for any reason.

10. Grants of Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Awards shall be granted under the Plan to any Non-Employee Director except as provided for in this Section 10. Specifically, Non-Employee Directors shall only receive Awards as follows:

(a) Grants may be in the form of any Option (other than an ISO) or Award permitted under the Plan;

(b) The fair value of Awards granted to any Non-Employee Director during any one calendar year, along with cash compensation paid to such Non-Employee Director in respect of such director’s service as a member of the Board of Directors during such year (including service as a member or chair of any committees of the Board of Directors) during such fiscal year shall not be in excess of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000).

11. Limitations on Awards.

(a) Shares Subject to Plan. The aggregate maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan shall be fixed immediately after the Closing as a number of Shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after the Closing; provided, that such number of Shares shall be subject to adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 13. All of such Shares may be granted as ISOs.

(i) The Shares shall be issued from authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in or hereafter acquired for the treasury of the Company.

(ii) Shares covered by an Award shall be counted against the limit set forth in this Section 11(a). If any Shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan are not purchased or are forfeited or expire, or if an Award otherwise terminates without delivery of any Common Stock subject thereto, then the number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination, cash-settlement or expiration, again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan in the same amount as such Shares were counted against the limit set forth in this section.

(iii) If an Option or an SAR terminates or expires without having been fully exercised for any reason, or is canceled or forfeited or cash-settled pursuant to the terms of an Award, the Shares for which the Option or SAR was not exercised may again be the subject of an Award granted pursuant to the Plan. To the extent Shares subject to an Option or stock-settled SAR are withheld by the Company for payment of purchase price or as a means of paying the exercise price, or for payment of federal, state or local income or wage tax withholding requirements, the Shares that are so withheld shall be treated as granted and shall not again be available for subsequent grants of Awards under the Plan.

(iv) If any full-value Award (i.e., an equity-based Award other than an Option or SAR) is canceled or forfeited or cash-settled pursuant to the terms of an Award, the Shares for which such Award was canceled or forfeited or cash-settled may again be subject of an Award granted pursuant to the Plan. To the extent Shares subject to a full-value Award are not actually issued to the Grantee at the time the Award is exercised or settled, including where Shares are withheld for payment of federal, state or local income or wage tax withholding, the Shares that are so withheld shall again be available for grants of Awards under the Plan.

(b) No Repricing. Other than pursuant to Section 13, the Committee shall not without the approval of the Company’s stockholders (a) lower the exercise price per Share of an Option or SAR after it is granted, (b) cancel an Option or SAR when the exercise price per Share exceeds the Fair Market Value of one Share in exchange for cash or another Award (other than in connection with a Change in Control), or (c) take any other action with respect to an Option or SAR that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed. The foregoing limitations on modifications of SARs and Options shall not be applicable to changes the Committee determines to be necessary in order to achieve compliance with applicable law, including Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

12. Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take whatever action with respect to Awards outstanding as it deems necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, accelerating the expiration or termination date or the date of exercisability in any Award Documents, settling any Award by means of a cash payment (including a cash payment equal to the amount paid per share of Common Stock in such Change of Control less, in the case of Options, the Option Price) or removing any restrictions from or imposing any additional restrictions on any outstanding Awards. Except to the extent otherwise provided in an Award Document, the following provisions shall apply in the event of a Change of Control:

(a) Awards Assumed or Substituted by Surviving Entity. Awards assumed by an entity that is the surviving or successor entity following a Change of Control (the “Surviving Entity”) or are otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with a Change of Control shall have the same vesting schedule in effect following the Change of Control. Following the Change in Control, if a Termination of Employment or Service in Connection with a Change in Control occurs, then all of the Grantee’s outstanding Awards shall become fully

A-10

Table of Contents

exercisable and/or vested as the case may be as of the date of termination, with payout to such Grantee within 60 days following the date of termination of employment, provided that the payment date of any Awards that are considered to be deferred compensation shall not be accelerated.

(b) Awards not Assumed or Substituted by Surviving Entity. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, and except with respect to any Awards assumed by the Surviving Entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the Change of Control in a manner approved by the Committee or the Board of Directors, all outstanding Awards shall become immediately vested and exercisable, as the case may be, at or immediately prior to the consummation of the event that constitutes the Change of Control and there shall be a payout of the Award (to the extent applicable under the terms of the Award) to Grantees within sixty (60) days following the Change of Control.

13. Adjustments on Changes in Capitalization. The aggregate number of Shares and class of Shares as to which Awards may be granted hereunder, the limitation as to grants to individuals set forth in Section 10(b) hereof, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the Option Price for each related outstanding Option and SAR, shall be appropriately adjusted in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other change in the number or class of issued and outstanding equity securities of the Company resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of the Common Stock and/or, if appropriate, other outstanding equity securities or a recapitalization or other capital adjustment (not including the issuance of Common Stock on the conversion of other securities of the Company that are convertible into Common Stock) affecting the Common Stock which is effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. The Committee shall have authority to determine the adjustments to be made under this Section, and any such determination by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive; providedhowever,that no adjustment shall be made that will cause an ISO to lose its status as such without the consent of the Grantee, except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

14. Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards held by employees of another entity who become employees of the Company or an Affiliate as a result of a merger or consolidation of the former employing entity with the Company or an Affiliate or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of property or stock of the former employing corporation. The Committee may direct that the substitute awards be made on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances.

15. Amendment of the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan from time to time in such manner as it may deem advisable; provided that, without obtaining stockholder approval, the Board of Directors may not: (i) increase the maximum number of Shares as to which Awards may be granted, except for adjustments pursuant to Section 13; (ii) materially expand the eligible participants; or (iii) otherwise adopt any amendment constituting a change requiring stockholder approval under applicable laws or applicable listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed. No amendment to the Plan shall adversely materially affect any outstanding Award, however, without the consent of the Grantee.

16. No Commitment to Retain. The grant of an Award shall not be construed to imply or to constitute evidence of any agreement, express or implied, on the part of the Company or any Affiliate to retain the Grantee in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate and/or as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors or in any other capacity.

17. Withholding of Taxes. Whenever the Company proposes or is required to deliver or transfer Shares in connection with an Award or the exercise of an Option, the Company shall have the right to (a) require the recipient to remit or otherwise make available to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and/or local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery or transfer of any certificate or certificates for such Shares or (b) take whatever other action it deems necessary to protect its interests with respect to tax liabilities. The Company’s obligation to make any delivery or transfer of Shares shall be conditioned on the Grantee’s compliance, to the Company’s satisfaction, with any withholding requirement. The Grantee may elect to make payment for the withholding of federal, state and local taxes by one or a combination of the following methods: (i) payment of an amount in cash equal to the amount to be withheld (including cash obtained through the sale of the Shares acquired on exercise of an Option or SAR, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stocker, or upon the transfer of Shares, through a broker-dealer to whom the Grantee has submitted irrevocable instructions to deliver promptly to the Company, the amount to be withheld); (ii) delivering part or all of the amount to be withheld in the form of Shares valued at Fair Market Value; (iii) requesting the Company

A-11

Table of Contents

to withhold from those Shares that would otherwise be received upon exercise of the Option or SAR, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit, or upon the transfer of Shares, a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value; or (iv) withholding from any compensation otherwise due to the Grantee.

18. Source of Shares; Fractional Shares. The Common Stock that may be issued (which term includes Common Stock reissued or otherwise delivered) pursuant to an Award under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Stock. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan, and shares issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, but fractional interests may be accumulated pursuant to the terms of an Award. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Company may satisfy its obligation to issue Shares hereunder by book-entry registration.

19. Deferred Arrangements. The Committee may permit or require the deferral of any award payment into a deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or Dividend Equivalents, including converting such credits into deferred Common Stock equivalents. Any such deferrals shall be made in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A.

20. Parachute Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by a Grantee with the Company or any Affiliate, except an agreement, contract, or understanding that expressly addresses Section 280G or Section 4999 of the Code (an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Grantee (including groups or classes of Grantees or beneficiaries of which the Grantee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Grantee (a “Benefit Arrangement”), if the Grantee is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code, any Option, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Stock Appreciation Right or Dividend Equivalent Right held by that Grantee and any right to receive any payment or other benefit under this Plan shall not become exercisable or vested to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Grantee under this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any payment or benefit to the Grantee under this Plan to be subject to excise tax under Code Section 4999; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on Options or Awards under the Plan shall only be applicable to the extent that the imposition of such limitation is, on a net after tax basis, beneficial to the Grantee. The Committee shall have the authority to determine what restrictions and/or reductions in payments shall be made under this Section 20 in order to avoid the detrimental tax consequences of Code Section 4999, and may use such authority to cause a reduction to payments or benefits that would be made by reason of contracts, agreements or arrangements that are outside the scope of the Plan, to the extent such a reduction would result in a greater, net after-tax benefit to the Grantee.

21. Section 409A. The Committee intends to comply with Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) with regard to any Awards hereunder that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A, and otherwise to provide Awards that are exempt from Section 409A. If a Grant is subject to Section 409A of the Code, (i) distributions shall only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted under Section 409A of the Code, (ii) payments to be made upon a termination of employment or service shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code, (iii) unless the Grant specifies otherwise, each installment payment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and (iv) in no event shall a Grantee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year in which a distribution is made except in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Any Grant that is subject to Section 409A of the Code and that is to be distributed to a Key Employee (as defined below) upon separation from service shall be administered so that any distribution with respect to such Grant shall be postponed for six months following the date of the Grantee’s separation from service (unless an earlier death), if required by Section 409A. The determination of Key Employees, including the number and identity of persons considered Key Employees and the identification date, shall be made by the Committee or its delegate each year in accordance with section 416(i) of the Code and the “specified employee” requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, each Grantee shall be solely responsible for the tax consequences of Grants under the Plan, and in no event shall the Company or any Affiliate of the Company have any responsibility or liability to the Grantee or any other person if a Grant does not meet any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Although the Company intends to administer the Plan to prevent taxation under Section 409A of the Code, the Company does not represent or warrant that the Plan or any Grant complies with any provision of federal, state, local or other tax law.

22. Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Company, nor the Board of Directors nor the Committee shall be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards made pursuant to the Plan. Neither the Company, nor the Board of Directors, nor the Committee shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid or securities to be issued under the Plan.

23. Compensation Recovery.

(a) In the event the Company is required to provide an accounting restatement for any of the prior three fiscal years of the Company for which audited financial statements have been completed as a result of material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under federal securities laws (a “Restatement”), the amount of any Excess Compensation (as defined below) realized by an any Executive Officer (as defined below) shall be subject to recovery by the Company.

(b) For purposes of this Section 23:

(i) An “Executive Officer” shall mean any officer of the Company who holds an office of executive vice president or above; and

(ii) “Excess Compensation” shall mean the excess of (i) the actual amount of cash-based or equity-based incentive compensation received by an Executive Officer over (ii) the compensation that would have been received based on the restated financial results during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare such restatement.

(c) Recovery of Excess Compensation under this Section 23 shall not preclude the Company from seeking relief under any other agreement, policy or law. The Company’s recoupment rights under this Section 23 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, actions that the Company may take to remedy or discipline any act of misconduct by an Executive Officer including, but not limited to, termination of employment or initiation of appropriate legal action.

(d) The recovery of compensation under this Section 23 is separate from and in addition to the compensation recovery requirements of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are applicable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and the Committee shall reduce the recoupment under this Section 23 by any amounts paid to the Company by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to such section.

24. Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Awards (other than ISOs and corresponding Awards), may be transferred, without consideration, to a Permitted Transferee. For this purpose, a “Permitted Transferee” in respect of a Grantee means any member of the Immediate Family of such Grantee, any trust of which all of the primary beneficiaries are such Grantee or members of his or her Immediate Family, or any partnership (including limited liability companies and similar entities) of which all of the partners or members are such Grantee or members of his or her Immediate Family; and the “Immediate Family” of a Grantee means the Grantee’s spouse, any person sharing the Grantee’s household (other than a tenant or employee), children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, siblings, grandparents, nieces and nephews. Such Award may be exercised by such Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms of the Award Document. If so determined by the Committee, a Grantee may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Grantee, and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the death of the Grantee. A transferee, beneficiary, guardian, legal representative or other person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Grantee shall be subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan and any applicable Award Document, except to the extent the Plan and Award Document otherwise provide with respect to such persons, and to any additional restrictions or limitations deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

25. Subplans. The Board may from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable blue sky, securities or tax laws of various jurisdictions. The Board shall establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to the Plan setting forth (i) such limitations on the Committee’s discretion under the Plan as the Board deems necessary or desirable and (ii) such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as the Board shall deem necessary or desirable. All supplements adopted by the Board shall be deemed to be part of the Plan, but each supplement shall apply only to Grantees within the affected jurisdiction and the Company shall not be required to provide copies of any supplement to Grantees in any jurisdiction that is not affected.

26. No Obligation to Notify or Minimize Taxes. The Company shall have no duty or obligation to any Grantee to advise such Grantee as to the time or manner of exercising any Award. Furthermore, the Company shall have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such Grantee of a pending termination or expiration of an Award or a possible period in which the Award may not be exercised. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Award to any person.

27. Governing Law. The validity, performance, construction and effect of this Plan shall, except to the extent preempted by federal law, be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE BM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2020 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

This FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE BM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2020 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN, dated as of January 4, 2021 (the “2020 Plan”), hereby amends the 2020 Plan by deleting in its entirety Section 11(a) thereof and replacing it with the following:

11. Limitation on Awards.

(a) Shares Subject to Plan. The aggregate maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan shall be 2,500,000; provided, that such number of Shares shall be subject to adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 13. All such Shares may be granted as ISOs.

(i) The Shares shall be issued from authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in or hereafter acquired for the treasury of the Company.

(ii) Shares covered by an Award shall be counted against the limit set forth in this Section 11(a). If any Shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan are not purchased or are forfeited or expire, or if an Award otherwise terminates without delivery of any Common Stock subject thereto, then the number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination, cash-settlement or expiration, again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan in the same amount as such Shares were counted against the limit set forth in this section.

(iii) If an Option or an SAR terminates or expires without having been fully exercised for any reason, or is canceled or forfeited or cash-settled pursuant to the terms of an Award, the Shares for which the Option or SAR was not exercised may again be the subject of an Award granted pursuant to the Plan. To the extent Shares subject to an Option or stock-settled SAR are withheld by the Company for payment of purchase price or as a means of paying the exercise price, or for payment of federal, state or local income or wage tax withholding requirements, the Shares that are so withheld shall be treated as granted and shall not again be available for subsequent grants of Awards under the Plan.

(iv) If any full-value Award (i.e., an equity-based Award other than an Option or SAR) is canceled or forfeited or cash-settled pursuant to the terms of an Award, the Shares for which such Award was canceled or forfeited or cash-settled may again be subject of an Award granted pursuant to the Plan. To the extent Shares subject to a full-value Award are not actually issued to the Grantee at the time the Award is exercised or settled, including where Shares are withheld for payment of federal, state or local income or wage tax withholding, the Shares that are so withheld shall again be available for grants of Awards under the Plan.
