In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure.

If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our April 18, 2019 letter.

We note from your response to prior comments 1 and 2 that you revised the pro forma financial statements under the Maximum Redemptions Scenario to account for the merger as a reverse acquisition with Repay as the accounting acquirer. Please explain further how you factored the issuance and sale of $135 million of Thunder Bridge's Class A ordinary shares to the PIPE Investors in your determination of the accounting acquirer and provide your analysis of the accounting for this transaction under the Maximum Redemptions scenario. Pro Form Condensed Combined Balance Sheet (Assuming Maximum Redemption), page 168 3. Notwithstanding your response to the previous comment, please tell us how you considered the guidance in ASC 805-40-45-2 in determining the pro forma adjustments related to equity and retained earnings under the Maximum Redemptions scenario and specifically address why you did not include an adjustment to eliminate the historical retained earnings of Thunder Bridge. Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 171 4. We note that pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Amendment, each Public Warrant Holder will receive a cash payment of $1.50 for each Public Warrant they own. Please tell us how you intend to account for this cash payment and provide the specific accounting guidance considered. To the extent this transaction will impact your statement of operations, please include a discussion of such impact in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. 5. You state in notes (h) and (f) on page 175 and 179, respectively, that the estimated pro forma adjustment related to the Tax Receivable Agreement includes, among other items, certain increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of the Post-Merger Repay Units for Class A common stock of the company pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. However, in your response to comment 3 in your letter dated April 1, 2019, you indicated that you did not assume any exchange of Post-Merger Repay Units for Class A common stock in determining your pro forma adjustment. Please revise to clearly indicate as such. Also, clarify that the $123.5 million and $120.8 million potential tax liability as disclosed in notes (h) and (f), respectively, are in addition to the amounts already reflected in your pro forma adjustments. 6. We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 4. Please revise notes (h) and (f) on page 175 and 179, respectively, to include the Class A common stock price used to determine the Tax Receivable Agreement liability when all the Post-Merger Repay Units are exchanged.
