NOTICE OF VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 15, 2022
Online Meeting Only — No Physical Meeting Location
https://www.cstproxy.com/bmtechnologies/2022

To the Stockholders of BM Technologies, Inc.:

The 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of BM Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) will be conducted virtually on June 15, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), at the following website:
https://www.cstproxy.com/bmtechnologies/2022, for the following purposes:

1. To elect three Class II directors to serve until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified (Proposal No. 1);

2. To ratify the appointment of BDO USA LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 (Proposal No. 2); and

3. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting, or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

This year we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to stockholders. Accordingly, most stockholders will not receive printed copies of our proxy materials. We are instead mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials with instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting via the Internet (the “Notice”). This delivery method allows us to conserve natural resources and reduce the cost of delivery while also meeting our obligations to you, our stockholders, to provide information relevant to your continued investment in the Company. If you received the Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions in the Notice for requesting those materials. We encourage you to review the proxy materials and vote your shares.

You or your proxyholder can participate, vote, and examine our stockholder list at the virtual annual meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/bmtechnologies/2022 and using the control number included on your proxy card or voting instruction form. You have the right to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting if you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on April 29, 2022. Whether or not you expect to participate in the virtual meeting, please vote by signing the enclosed proxy card and returning it promptly in the self-addressed envelope provided. If a broker or other nominee holds your shares in “street name,” your broker has enclosed a voting instruction form, which you should use to vote those shares. The voting instruction form indicates whether you have the option to vote those shares by telephone or by using the internet. In the event there are not sufficient votes for a quorum or to approve or ratify any of the foregoing proposals at the time of the Annual Meeting, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned in order to permit further solicitation of the proxies by the Company.

		By order of the Board of Directors,

		Robert Ramsey
		Chief Financial Officer
Wayne, Pennsylvania
May 2, 2022

This is an important meeting. To ensure proper representation at the meeting, please indicate your vote as to the matters to be acted on at the meeting by following the instructions provided in Notice, the Proxy Statement and the proxy card. Even if you vote your shares prior to the meeting, you still may participate in the meeting and vote your shares virtually.

Table of Contents

INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING

When is the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be conducted virtually on June 15, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

Where will the Annual Meeting be held?

The Annual Meeting will be conducted virtually via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/bmtechnologies/2022.

What items will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

There are two matters scheduled for a vote:

1. To elect three Class II directors to serve until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified (Proposal No. 1);

2. To ratify the appointment of BDO USA LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 (Proposal No. 2); and

3. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting, or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

As of the date of this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

What are the recommendations of the Board of Directors?

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote:

“FOR” the election of the three Class II director nominees named herein to serve on the Board of Directors; and

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Will the Company’s directors be in attendance at the Annual Meeting?

The Company encourages, but does not require, its directors to attend annual meetings of stockholders. The Company expects all its directors to attend the Annual Meeting virtually.

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in the mail instead of a printed set of proxy materials?

Under rules adopted by the SEC, we are permitted to furnish our proxy materials over the Internet to our stockholders by delivering a Notice in the mail. Instead of mailing printed copies of the proxy materials to our stockholders, we are mailing the Notice to instruct stockholders on how to access and review the Proxy Statement and Annual Report over the Internet at https://ir.bmtxinc.com. The Notice also instructs stockholders on how they may submit their proxy over the Internet or via phone. If you received a Notice and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions in the Notice for requesting these materials.

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 29, 2022, 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 29, 2022, we had 12,273,438 shares of common stock outstanding.

How do I vote?

With respect to Proposal No. 1, you may either vote “FOR” each of the Class II 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 29, 2022, 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 over 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.

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

• BY MAIL: 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 29, 2022, 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 29, 2022.

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 your shares are voted.

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 three Class II director nominees named herein to serve on the Board of Directors and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

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, Wayne, Pennsylvania, Attention: Robert Ramsey, 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 Proposal No. 2, “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 Proposal No. 1 (election of directors) is a non-routine proposal. Since this proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting is not a routine matter, 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.

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 three Class II Directors		The three 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		Ratification of the appointment of BDO USA LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022		This proposal must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock 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 29, 2022, the record date, there were 12,273,438 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, 6,136,720 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 chair 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

How and when may I submit a stockholder proposal for the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting?

We will consider for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholder proposals that are received at our executive offices, in writing, no earlier than February 13, 2023 and no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on March 15, 2023, and that comply with our bylaws and all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Proposals must be sent to our Corporate Secretary at BM Technologies, Inc., 201 King of Prussia Road, Suite 350, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087.

Pursuant to our bylaws, stockholders wishing to nominate persons for election as directors or to introduce an item of business at an annual meeting that are not to be included in our proxy materials must have given timely notice thereof in writing to our Corporate Secretary. To be timely for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, you must notify our Corporate Secretary, in writing, no earlier than February 13, 2023, and no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on March 15, 2023. We also advise you to review our bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations, including the different notice submission date requirements in the event that the date of the notice for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is more than 30 days before or 60 days after the first anniversary of the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting. In accordance with our bylaws, our board or chair of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders may determine, if the facts warrant, that a matter has not been properly brought before the meeting and, therefore, may not be considered at the meeting.

Pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, among other things, a stockholder’s notice shall set forth information as to the stockholder giving notice, as well as to each individual whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director:

• the name, age, business address and residence address of such individual;

• The principal occupation or employment of the individual;

• the class, series and number of any shares of stock of the Company that are beneficially owned by such individual;

• all other information relating to such individual that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such individual’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected).

All nominees properly submitted to the Company (or which the nominating and corporate governance committee otherwise elects to consider) will be evaluated and considered by the members of the nominating and corporate governance committee using the same criteria as nominees identified by the nominating and corporate governance committee itself.

How can I obtain the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K?

A copy of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 is available at https://ir.bmtxinc.com. You also can obtain copies without charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Our 2021 Annual Report is not incorporated into this proxy statement and shall not be considered proxy solicitation material.

We will also mail to you without charge, upon written request, a copy of any specifically requested exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Requests should be sent to: Corporate Secretary, BM Technologies, Inc., 201 King of Prussia Road, Suite 350, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087. A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K has also been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and may be accessed from the SEC’s homepage (www.sec.gov).

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. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and Annual Report, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and Annual Report and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you are a stockholder of record. You can notify us by sending a written request to: Corporate Secretary, BM Technologies, Inc., 201 King of Prussia Road, Suite 350, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087, or by calling (571) 236-8851. In addition, the Company will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request to the address or telephone number above, a separate copy of the Annual Report and proxy statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.

Whom should I contact if I have any questions?

If you have any questions about voting your shares or about the Annual Meeting, these proxy materials or your ownership of our common stock, please contact Robert Ramsey, Chief Financial Officer, 201 King of Prussia Road, Suite 350, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087, Telephone: (571) 236-8851.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting to be Held on June 15, 2022: This Proxy Statement and the Annual Report are available on-line at https://ir.bmtxinc.com.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF CLASS II DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors presently has seven members. Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes. Each class has a three-year term.

Vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors and nominated by the nominating and corporate governance committee. A director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy in a class, including any vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors, shall serve for the remainder of the full term of that class and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified.

* Indicates Class II director nominees

(1) This column reflects the current directors and nominees on the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors has nominated three directors (upon the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee), Ms. Schwab and Messrs. Dunklau and Gill, for election as Class II directors. If elected at the Annual Meeting, each of Ms. Schwab and Messrs. Dunklau and Gill would serve until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor is elected and has qualified, or, if sooner, until his death, resignation or removal. Neither of Ms. Schwab and Messrs. Dunklau and Gill is being nominated as a director for election pursuant to any agreement or understanding between such person and the Company. Each of Ms. Schwab and Messrs. Dunklau and Gill has indicated their willingness to continue to serve if elected and has consented to be named as a nominee. It is our policy to encourage directors and nominees for director to attend the Annual Meeting.

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, 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 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. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that the Class II director nominees named will be unable or unwilling to serve.

Information about the Nominees and Directors

Biographical information with respect to the Class II nominees up for election at the Annual Meeting, as well as each of the other directors, and such person’s qualifications to serve as a director is set forth on the succeeding pages. Unless otherwise indicated, each director has held his or her principal occupation or other positions with the same or predecessor organizations for at least the last five years. There are currently no family relationships among any director, nominee, or executive officer.

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 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. Luvleen 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 Pankaj Dinodia, 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 2022; 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 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 serve 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 Pankaj Dinodia 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 rules, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the NYSE 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 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. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the NYSE rules.

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of the NYSE, 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, 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 Pankaj Dinodia, 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 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.

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.

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;

Table of Contents

Compensation Committee

Each of the members of the Company’s compensation committee meet the requirements for independence under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and rules of the NYSE. The Company’s compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Each of the members of the nominating and corporate governance committee meet the requirements for independence under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and rules of the NYSE. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

• identifying, evaluating and selecting, or making recommendations to the Company Board regarding, nominees for election to our Board and its committees;

• evaluating the performance of our Board and of individual directors;

Our Board has adopted a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee, which is available on our website.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have posted our Code of Conduct and Ethics and expect to post any amendments to or any waivers from a provision of our Code of Conduct and Ethics on our website, and also intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Conduct and Ethics in a Form 8-K.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the Company’s officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, (i) as a member of the compensation committee or the board of directors of another entity, one of whose officers served on the Company’s compensation committee, or (ii) as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose officers served on the Company Board.

Table of Contents

Related Person Policy of the Company

The Company has adopted formal written policy providing that the Company’s officers, directors, nominees for election as directors, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s capital stock, any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons and any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed or is a general partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a 5% or greater beneficial ownership interest, are not permitted to enter into a related party transaction with the Company without the approval of the Company’s nominating and corporate governance committee, subject to the exceptions described below.

A related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which the Company and any related person are, were or will be participants in which the amount involves exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of our average total assets. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to the Company as an employee or director are not covered by this policy.

Under the policy, the Company will collect information that the Company deems reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant stockholder, to enable the Company to identify any existing or potential related-person transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under the Code of Conduct, employees and directors have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest.

The policy will require that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related person transaction, our nominating and corporate governance committee, or other independent body of our Board, must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, the Company’s best interests and those of our stockholders, as our nominating and corporate governance committee, or other independent body of our Board, determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee has determined that certain transactions will not require the approval of the nominating and corporate governance committee, including certain employment arrangements of officers, director compensation, transactions with another company at which a related party’s only relationship is as a director, non-executive employee or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s outstanding capital stock, transactions where a related party’s interest arises solely from the ownership of our Common Stock and all holders of our Common Stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis and transactions available to all employees generally.

Director Attendance

Each director is strongly encouraged to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. All directors attended the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, which was held virtually.

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that directors should be prepared for and attend Board meetings and actively participate in Board discussions. The Board met six times in 2021. Each director attended 100% of all board and committee meetings for which the director was a member.

Equity Incentive Plan

We have also entered into our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, which became effective upon the closing of the Business Combination. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, or ISOs, nonstatutory stock options, or NSOs, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance-based stock awards, and other forms of equity compensation, or collectively, stock awards, all of which may be granted to employees, including officers, non-employee directors and consultants of us and its affiliates. Additionally, the Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of performance cash awards. ISOs may be granted only to employees. All other awards may be granted to employees, including officers, and to non-employee directors and consultants. Initially, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to stock awards under the Equity Incentive Plan after the Equity Incentive Plan becomes effective will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock immediately after the closing of the Business Combination.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan or any other equity plan maintained by us during any single fiscal year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to the director during the year, will not exceed $300,000 in any calendar year.

The Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of performance-based stock and cash awards. The Plan Administrator can structure such awards so that stock or cash will be issued or paid pursuant to such award only after the achievement of certain performance goals during a designated performance period.

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, the Company’s independent registered accounting firm.

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 member or members to whom such authority is delegated shall report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered accounting firm to management.
