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

(b) On November 19, 2024, based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Flywire Corporation (“Flywire”), the Board appointed Carleigh Jaques (“Ms. Jaques”) to the Board as a Class III director, with her initial term expiring at Flywire’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with Ms. Jaques’ appointment, and pursuant to Flywire’s bylaws and certificate of incorporation, the Board has increased the number of directors from seven to eight. In addition, the Board appointed Ms. Jaques to serve as a member of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Ms. Jaques is an independent director and eligible to serve on the Audit Committee in accordance with applicable rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Stock Market. A copy of the press release announcing the appointment of Ms. Jaques is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

As provided for in Flywire’s non-employee director compensation plan (the “Compensation Policy”), Ms. Jaques will receive an annual cash retainer of $35,000 per year and an additional annual retainer for committee service as more fully described in Flywire’s Proxy Statement for its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders filed with the SEC on April 22, 2024 pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Proxy Statement”). Pursuant to the Compensation Policy, upon the effectiveness of her appointment, Ms. Jaques was automatically granted a restricted stock unit award (the “Initial RSU”) with a fair market value of $350,000. The Initial RSU will vest in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the date of grant provided that Ms. Jaques is providing service as a member of the Board through such vesting date. Under the Compensation Policy, on the date of each Flywire annual meeting of stockholders, Ms. Jaques will also be entitled to receive an annual restricted stock unit award with a fair market value of $175,000 (the “Annual RSU”). The Annual RSU will vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary from the date of grant or Flywire’s next annual meeting of stockholders provided that Ms. Jaques is providing service as a member of the Board through such vesting date. In addition, each of the Initial RSU and Annual RSU will accelerate and fully vest upon a change in control or Ms. Jaques’ earlier death or disability. Flywire’s Compensation Policy is described in further detail in the Proxy Statement.

Ms. Jaques and Flywire also entered an indemnification agreement requiring Flywire to indemnify Ms. Jaques to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law with respect to her service as a director. Flywire’s form of indemnification agreement was filed with the SEC on May 18, 2021 as Exhibit 10.1 to Flywire’s Amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

There are no family relationships between Ms. Jaques and any of Flywire’s directors or executive officers and Ms. Jaques does not have any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
