Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 11, 2017, JetPay Corporation (“JetPay” or the “Company”) repaid the $5 million promissory note (the “Note”) held by Merrick Bank Corporation as part of the Merrick Settlement and Release Agreement (defined below) previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2016 (the “July Form 8-K”). The timely pay off of the Note satisfied the Company’s obligations to Merrick Bank Corporation under that certain settlement and release agreement, dated July 26, 2016, by and among Merrick Bank Corporation, the Company and the other parties thereto (the “Merrick Settlement and Release Agreement”) regarding certain civil actions involving the Company in the Federal District Court for the District of Utah. As a result, each of the Stipulated and Confessed Judgments executed by the Company in connection with the Settlement and Release Agreement and described in the July Form 8-K are void, unenforceable and of no effect.

As also described in the July Form 8-K, JetPay has available up to 2.2 million shares of JetPay common stock currently held by a former owner of JetPay, LLC, one of the companies acquired by JetPay in December 2012, as indemnification against JetPay’s obligations under the Note.
