Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to participate in BM Technologies, Inc.’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held virtually on June 20, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, at the following website: https://www.cstproxy.com/bmtechnologies/2024. The Notice of Annual Meeting and proxy statement accompanying this letter provide an outline of the business to be conducted at the meeting.

It is important that your shares be represented at the Annual Meeting. If you are unable to participate in the meeting, we urge you to vote your shares over the internet or by completing, signing, dating, and returning your proxy card or voting instruction form so that your shares will be represented at the Annual Meeting. Instructions for voting are described in the Notice, the Proxy Statement, and the proxy card. We urge you to complete, sign, date, and return your proxy card or authorize your proxy through the internet as soon as possible even if you currently plan to participate in the Annual Meeting. This will not prevent you from voting virtually but will ensure that your vote is counted if you are unable to participate in the meeting.

In 2023 we committed to a profit enhancement plan that reduced 2023 core operating expenses by approximately $9.5 million. The Company consistently had quarter-over-quarter improved EBITDA. Additionally, in December, the Company completed the transfer of the Higher Education customer deposits to our new partner bank, First Carolina Bank (“FCB”). The transfer is expected to increase the Company’s annualized interchange revenue. The Company serviced deposits have slightly decreased from 2022 to approximately $0.8 billion, although debit account spend has remained consistent at $3 billion.

Going into 2024, we believe we are better positioned for growth and profitability this year and over the long term. We expect further savings from the profit enhancement plan that began in 2023 and higher revenues from our switch to our new partner bank, FCB. Additionally, we have made significant investments to upgrade our technology platform, positioning us to deepen customer relationships, increase customer lifetime value and unlock new revenue streams. Most importantly, we have enhanced our leadership team by appointing Ajay Asija as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Asija has over 25 years of experience as a financial professional, with a significant focus in the financial technology (“FinTech”) industry. The Company will leverage his extensive FinTech and banking network for partnership opportunities to drive growth and to ensure best practices for our finance and accounting teams.

We believe that our solid foundation for growth distinguishes us from other FinTech companies. With an established base of customers, deposits, partnerships, and a robust and flexible technology platform, our leadership team remains excited about our growth opportunities for both our existing business and new opportunities!

Thank you for your investment in and ongoing support of our Company. We appreciate your confidence and will continue to work to build long-term shareholder value while remaining committed to innovation, building great products, and serving our customers and team members at the highest levels.

Sincerely yours,

Luvleen Sidhu
Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chair

NOTICE OF VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JUNE 20, 2024 AT 10:00 A.M. ET
Online Meeting Only — No Physical Meeting Location
https://www.cstproxy.com/bmtechnologies/2024

To the Stockholders of BM Technologies, Inc.:

The 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of BM Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) will be conducted virtually on June 20, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), at the following website: https://www.cstproxy.com/bmtechnologies/2024, for the following purposes:

1. To elect, as described in the proxy statement, two Class I directors nominated for a term to expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting and one Class II director nominated for a term to expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting (Proposal No. 1);

2. To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (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/2024 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 26, 2024. Whether or not you expect to participate in the virtual meeting, please vote by signing the enclosed proxy card and returning it promptly or by authorizing your proxy through the internet. 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 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,

		Ajay Asija
		Chief Financial Officer

Wayne, Pennsylvania
April 29, 2024

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.

PROXY STATEMENT

2024 Virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders
To Be Held on June 20, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. ET
Online Meeting Only — No Physical Meeting Location
https://www.cstproxy.com/bmtechnologies/2024

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of BM Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “BMTX”, “we,” “us” or “our”) for use at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be conducted virtually via live webcast on June 20, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), and at any adjournments thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). You or your proxyholder can participate, vote, and examine our stockholder list at the virtual annual meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/bmtechnologies/2024 and using the control number included on your proxy card or voting instruction form.

This Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”) are available to stockholders at https://ir.bmtxinc.com. On or about April 29, 2024, we will begin mailing to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on (a) how to access and review this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report via the Internet and (b) how to obtain printed copies of this Proxy Statement, the Annual Report and a proxy card. The Notice also explains how you may submit your proxy over the Internet. If you received a Notice and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting those materials included in the Notice.

We encourage you to vote your shares, either by voting virtually at the Annual Meeting or by granting a proxy (i.e., authorizing someone to vote your shares). If you vote over the internet, or by completing, signing, dating, and returning your proxy card or voting instruction form, and we receive your vote in time for the meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares registered directly in your name in the manner that you specified. If you give no instructions on the proxy card, the shares covered by the proxy card will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as director and FOR the other matters listed in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting, please promptly vote your shares over the Internet, or by completing, signing, dating, and returning your proxy card or voting instruction form prior to the Annual Meeting so that your shares will be represented at the Annual Meeting. Instructions for voting are described in the Notice, the Proxy Statement and the proxy card.

Important notice regarding the availability of proxy materials for the annual stockholder meeting to be held on June 20, 2024:

The Notice of Annual Meeting, proxy statement, proxy card and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 are available at the following internet address: https://ir.bmtxinc.com.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING

When is the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be conducted virtually on June 20, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

Where will the Annual Meeting be held?

There is no physical location for the Annual Meeting, which will be conducted virtually via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/bmtechnologies/2024.

What items will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

There are two matters scheduled for a vote:

1. To elect two Class I directors nominated for a term to expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting and one Class II director nominated for a term to expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting (Proposal No. 1); and

2. To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (Proposal No. 2).

In addition, stockholders will also consider and 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 two Class I director nominees and the one Class II director nominee named herein to serve on the Board of Directors; and

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

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. Last year, four of our directors at the time attended the 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://irbmtxinc.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 26, 2024, 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, 2024, we had 12,052,560 shares of common stock outstanding.

How do I vote?

With respect to Proposal No. 1, you may either vote “FOR” each of the Class I nominees and the Class II nominee to the Board of Directors, or you may vote “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” for the nominees. For Proposal No. 2, 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, 2024, 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 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 through 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 26, 2024, 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 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, 2024.

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.

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 I director nominees and one Class II director nominee named herein to serve on the Board of Directors and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

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 650, Wayne, Pennsylvania, Attention: Ajay Asija, 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 with respect to Proposal No. 1, and “FOR,” “AGAINST” and “ABSTAIN” votes with respect to Proposal No. 2. 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 but not as a vote cast on any matter.

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 I Directors and one Class II Director		Directors are elected by a plurality, meaning that 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 broker non-votes and votes not cast or voted “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” will have no effect on the election outcome.
Proposal 2		Ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024		This proposal must be approved by a majority of votes cast by the stockholders 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, 2024, the record date, there were 12,052,560 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, 6,026,281 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 2025 Annual Meeting?

We will consider for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholder proposals that are received at our executive offices, in writing, no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on December 30, 2024, and that comply with 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 650, 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 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, you must notify our Corporate Secretary, in writing, no earlier than February 20, 2025, and no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on March 22, 2025. 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 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is more than 30 days before or 60 days after the first anniversary of the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting. In accordance with our bylaws, our board or chair of the 2025 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 owned beneficially or of record 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 Section 14 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).

Additionally, the stockholder giving notice must include a description of all arrangements and understandings relating to the nomination to be made and a representation that such stockholder or a qualified representative of such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate such person or persons named in the notice. 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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 is available at https://ir.bmtxinc.com. You also can obtain copies without charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Our 2023 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, 2023. Requests should be sent to: Corporate Secretary, BM Technologies, Inc., 201 King of Prussia Road, Suite 650, 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).

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 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 via 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 650, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087, or by calling (877) 327-9515. 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 Ajay Asija, Chief Financial Officer, 201 King of Prussia Road, Suite 650, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087, Telephone: (877) 327-9515.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF 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. Class I directors hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2024, Class II directors hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2025 (with the exception of Michael Pavone, who will be nominated at this Annual Meeting for a one-year term until the Class II directors are elected in 2025) and Class III directors hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2026. Each director holds office for the term to which he or she is elected and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. 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. Messrs. Aaron Hodari and John Dolan are Class I directors; Ms. Marcy Schwab and Messrs.

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

(2) Mr. Dolan and Mr. Hodari are nominated as Class I directors for terms to expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting.

(3) Mr. Pavone is nominated as a Class II director for a term to expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting. On July 11, 2023, Mr. Pavone was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Board that resulted from the resignation of director A.J. Dunklau.

The Board of Directors has nominated (upon the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee) two directors, Messrs. Dolan and Hodari, for election as Class I directors and one director, Mr. Pavone, for election as a Class II director, following his July 11, 2023 appointment by the Board to fill the vacancy from A.J. Dunklau’s resignation. If elected at the Annual Meeting, each of Mr. Dolan and Mr. Hodari would serve until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor is elected and has qualified, or, if sooner, until his or her death, resignation, or removal. Similarly, if elected at the Annual Meeting, Mr. Pavone would serve until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor is elected and has qualified, or, if sooner, until his or her death, resignation, or removal. Neither Mr. Dolan, Mr. Hodari, nor Mr. Pavone is being nominated as a director for election pursuant to any agreement or understanding between such person and the Company. Mr. Dolan, Mr. Hodari, and Mr. Pavone have all indicated their willingness to continue to serve if elected and have 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 three 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 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 I director nominees and the Class II director nominee named will be unable or unwilling to serve.

Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees

The Board and Nomination and Governance Committee consider many methods for identifying and evaluating potential director nominees. Our Board has not established minimum qualifications for potential director nominees. The Nomination and Governance Committee instead recommends director nominees based on the needs of the Company and circumstances such as the Board’s size, committee composition, and anticipated vacancies and factors including, without limitation, the candidate’s experience, background, qualifications, technical expertise, skill set, previous or concurrent board service, professional ethics and integrity, judgment, and diversity. While the Nomination and Governance Committee does not have a formal diversity policy, it seeks to create a well-balanced Board that combines broad business and industry experience with diverse backgrounds and unique perspectives. The Nomination and Governance Committee also considers whether the candidate would be considered independent under the rules of the SEC, NYSE American, and our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

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 at https://ir.bmtxinc.com/governance/governance-documents/. 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 (with the exception of Michael Pavone, who will be elected for a one-year term until the Class II directors are elected in 2025), 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 Michael Pavone, Marcy Schwab, and Mike Gill. Mr. Pavone’s term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024 and Ms. Schwab and Mr. Gill’s 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 2026.

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 combined the CEO and Chair of Board positions and has appointed Mike Gill as lead independent 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 that director is not an executive officer or employee of the company and, 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.

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.

Applying these standards and criteria, our Board periodically reviews our directors’ independence, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances. Every year, each Board member answers a questionnaire designed to disclose conflicts and related party transactions. For its most recent review, the Board reviewed the questionnaires and considered, among other things, 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, the Board determined that each of our current directors, other than Luvleen Sidhu and Aaron Hodari, will be considered an “independent director” as defined under our director independence standards, the listing requirements and rules of the NYSE American and the applicable rules of the Exchange Act as currently in effect. Luvleen Sidhu does not satisfy these independence standards because she is employed as by us as our CEO in addition to her role as a director. Aaron Hodari does not satisfy these independence standards due to his employment by Schechter Private Capital, a significant shareholder.

Board Leadership Structure

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

Board Committees and Composition

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

The members of the Company’s audit committee are John Dolan (Chair), Brent Hurley and Marcy Schwab. All members of this committee satisfy 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 audit committee met six times during the 2023 fiscal year and 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;

The Company Board has adopted a written charter for the audit committee, which is available on the Company’s website at https://ir.bmtxinc.com/governance/governance-documents/.

Compensation Committee

The members of the Company’s compensation committee are Mike Gill (Chair) and Michael Pavone. All members of this committee satisfy the requirements for independence under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and rules of the NYSE American. The compensation committee met seven times during the 2023 fiscal year and is responsible for, among other things:

• reviewing, approving and determining the compensation of the Company’s officers and key employees;

• reviewing, approving and determining compensation and benefits, including equity awards, to directors for service on the Company Board or any committee thereof;

• administering the Company’s equity compensation plans;

• reviewing, approving and making recommendations to the Company Board regarding incentive compensation and equity compensation plans; and

• establishing and reviewing general policies relating to compensation and benefits of the Company’s employees.

The members of the Company’s nominating and corporate governance committee are Brent Hurley (Chair) and Mike Gill. All members of this committee satisfy the requirements for independence under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and rules of the NYSE American. The nominating and corporate governance committee met one time during fiscal year 2023 and 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;

• considering, and making recommendations to the Company Board regarding, the composition of our Board, and its committees;

• reviewing developments in corporate governance practices;

• evaluating the adequacy of the corporate governance practices and reporting; and

• developing, and making recommendations to the Company Board regarding corporate governance guidelines and matters.

Our Board has adopted a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee, which is available on our website at https://ir.bmtxinc.com/governance/governance-documents/.

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.

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.

Related Person Policy of the Company

The Company has adopted a 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 at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years. 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.

Communications with Directors

Stockholders and interest parties may communicate with our Committee Chairs and with our non-employee directors by writing to such person or group and directing mail to our Corporate Secretary at BM Technologies, Inc., 201 King of Prussia Road, Suite 650, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087. The Corporate Secretary will review all such communications and determine whether communications require immediate attention. As appropriate, the Corporate Secretary will forward communications, or a summary of communications, to the appropriate director or directors.

Insider Trading Policy (including Hedging and Pledging Policies)

The Company has adopted an Insider Trading Policy, which provides guidelines with respect to transactions in the securities of the Company and the handling of confidential information about the Company and the companies with which the Company does business. The Board has adopted this policy to promote compliance with federal, state and foreign securities laws that prohibit certain persons who are aware of material nonpublic information about a company from: (i) trading in securities of that company; or (ii) providing material information to other persons who may trade on the basis of that information. This policy applies to all officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, all Board members, and all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, along with certain contractors and consultants and certain family and household members of persons covered by the policy.

Additionally, the Company has determined that there is a heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct if persons subject to the Insider Trading Policy engage in certain types of transactions. Therefore, it is the Company’s policy that any persons covered by the Insider Trading Policy may not engage in the following transactions: short-term trading; short sales; transactions in put options, call options, or other derivative securities on an exchange or other organized market; hedging transactions (through any mechanism, including the use of financial instruments as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds); and holding Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan. Additionally, the Company discourages placing standing or limit orders on Company securities, except standing and limit orders under approved Rule 10b5-1 plans.

Director Attendance

Each director is strongly encouraged to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. Four of our directors attended the 2023 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 2023. Each director attended at least 75% of all board and committee meetings for which the director was a member.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Our executive officers are appointed annually and serve at the pleasure of the Board.

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.

Total Direct Compensation Element	Pay Element	Performance Measures	Strategy and Performance Alignment
Base Salary	Cash	• Individual performance • Contributions based on scope of the role	• Positioned within an appropriate range of market median based on individual performance and contributions
Annual Incentive	Cash or Equity	• Company-wide financial measures and consideration of individual performance	• Rewards annual accomplishment of key financial objectives
Long-Term Incentive	Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PBRSUs”)	• Market Cap Growth • Core EBITDA Growth	• Align executives with shareholder value creation, such that no PBRSUs are earned unless shareholder expectations for growth are met or exceeded
	Time-Based Restricted Stock Units (“TBRUs”)	• Stock Price Appreciation	• Encourages retention of executives, alignment with shareholder value

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 its 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 2024 long-term incentive grants (which are further described below) were also positioned below 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 2024, the threshold performance requirement includes doubling the market capitalization (as of the grant date) and achieving Trailing 12-month Core EBITDA of $20M, which is the same goal as approved by the Compensation Committee for the 2023 grant (based on an adjusted view of financials assuming the federal funds interest rate at the time of the equity grant).

• 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 Equity 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 2023 and 2024. 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 February 6, 2024, Ms. Sidhu and Mr. Donahue entered into a letter agreement with the Company (the “RSU Cancellation Agreement”), pursuant to which each of Ms. Sidhu and Mr. Donahue and the Company mutually agreed to the cancellation of the unvested performance-based restricted stock unit awards previously granted to the Covered Executives effective as of September 30, 2021. The RSU Cancellation Agreement was entered into by each of Ms. Sidhu and Mr. Donahue in consideration for their continued employment and for the Company’s issuance of new performance-based restricted stock units, which have substantially identical performance goals as the 2021 awards.

On February 5, 2024, the Company granted the following LTI awards to Ms. Sidhu and Mr. Donahue. 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.

Executive Name	Title	2024 LTI Grants		Grant Date Fair Value(1)		Annualized Value at Grant(2)
Executive Name	Title	TBRSUs	PBRSUs	Grant Date Fair Value(1)		Annualized Value at Grant(2)
Luvleen Sidhu	Chief Executive Officer	100,000	100,000	$	373,500	$	107,667
James Donahue	President	50,000	50,000	$	186,750	$	53,833

____________

(1) Grant date fair value assumes stock price of $2.02 for TBRSUs and 50% of PBRSUs subject to Core EBITDA goal, and Monte-Carlo valuation of 1.41 for 50% of PBRSUs subject to market capitalization goal.

(2) Grant Date Fair Value annualized over the vesting periods of the TBRSUs (four years) and PBRSUs (three years).

Employment Agreements

Ms. Sidhu’s, Mr. Donahue’s, and Mr. Asija’s Employment Agreements

We currently have employment agreements in place with Ms. Sidhu, our Founder and Chief Executive Officer, James Donahue, our President, and Ajay Asija, our Chief Financial Officer, who assumed this role on April 6, 2024. Our former Chief Financial Officer Mr. Dullinger’s employment agreement expired by its terms on April 5, 2024.

Ms. Sidhu’s employment agreement, effective January 4, 2021, has an initial term of two years, and automatically renews thereafter for successive two-year periods unless either the Company or the executive give written notice to the other at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the applicable term. Ms. Sidhu’s employment agreement provides for immediate vesting of any equity incentive interests if terminated by the Company without cause or terminated by the executive for good reason. Mr. Donahue’s employment agreement, dated September 15, 2021, has a term of one year and automatically renews thereafter for successive one-year periods unless either the Company or the executive give written notice to the other at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the applicable term. Mr. Donahue’s employment agreement provides for immediate vesting of any equity incentive interests if terminated by the Company without cause or terminated by the executive for good reason. Mr. Asija’s employment agreement, effective February 5, 2024,

has a term of one year and automatically renews thereafter for successive one-year periods unless either the Company or the executive give written notice to the other at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the applicable term. Mr. Asija’s employment agreement provides for immediate vesting of any equity incentive interests if terminated by the Company without cause or terminated by the executive for good reason.

Ms. Sidhu and Messrs. Donahue, and Asija are each entitled to receive an annual base salary of at least $350,000, $300,000 and $275,000, respectively, pursuant to their respective employment agreements, and incentive compensation in an amount, in such form, and at such time as approved by our Board. Such incentive compensation may take the form of cash payments, stock, stock appreciation awards, restricted stock units or stock options.

Each executive is entitled to receive severance compensation in the event of a termination of the executive’s employment by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason in an amount equal to the sum of the executive’s then-current base salary plus the average of the annual performance bonus (consisting of both cash and other incentive compensation, but excluding the Company match of any deferred compensation) provided to the executive with respect to the three (3) fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the fiscal year of termination, for the greater of two (2) years (in the case of Ms. Sidhu) or one (1) year (in the case of Mr. Donahue and Mr. Asija) or the period of time remaining in the applicable term, paid in equal installments on the normal pay dates following separation from service with the Company, subject to execution of a release of claims. Each executive is also eligible for employee benefits and shall be entitled to a fraction of any bonus for the fiscal year of the Company within which such executive’s termination of employment occurs which, based upon the criteria established for such bonus, would have been payable to the executive had the executive remained employed through the date of payment.

Mr. Dullinger’s Amended Employment Agreement and Departure

Pursuant to an employment agreement dated January 26, 2023, James Dullinger began serving as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, with a base salary of $275,000. This agreement’s term was initially one year, ending on January 26, 2024. On November 1, 2023, Mr. Dullinger’s employment agreement was amended with the Board’s approval to extend the term of his employment through March 31, 2024. On February 5, 2024, Mr. Dullinger provided notice, and Mr. Dullinger and the Company mutually agreed not to renew his employment agreement. To facilitate the transition in chief financial officers, the Board approved an extension of Mr. Dullinger’s service as Chief Financial Officer on March 26, 2024, and the employment agreement was further amended to provide for Mr. Dullinger’s employment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company through April 5, 2025, payment of an extension bonus, payment for earned but unused paid time off, and deletion of non-compete restrictions.

On April 5, 2024, Mr. Dullinger departed the Company, with Mr. Asija replacing him as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Dullinger is entitled to a 2023 incentive bonus of $110,000 (the “Bonus”), payable, at the discretion of the Company in either: (i) cash; (ii) shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2020 Executive Incentive Plan with a vesting date fair value of $110,000 (with Mr. Dullinger having the option to have shares withheld to satisfy any tax obligation resulting from the vesting of the shares); or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii).

2020 Plan

Our 2020 Plan, which became effective upon the closing of the Business Combination (as defined later in this proxy), 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. Additionally, the 2020 Plan provides for the grant of performance cash awards. ISOs may only be granted to employees. All other awards may be granted to employees, including officers, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. The Plan Administrator can structure 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.

The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to stock awards under the 2020 Plan, as amended, would approximate 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock as of the record date.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted under the 2020 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.

Director Compensation

Our Board adopted, non-employee director compensation plan provides that we pay our non-employee directors an annual fee of up to $20,000, paid in quarterly installments. We also reimburse our directors for their reasonable out of pocket expenses related to their services as a member of our board of directors. In addition, our non-employee directors are also eligible to receive shares of stock pursuant to the 2020 Plan.
