Stockholders' / Members' Equity and Redeemable Class A Units

STOCKHOLDERS' / MEMBERS' EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE CLASS A UNITS

In connection with the Company’s IPO, the Company’s board of directors approved an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), which became effective on June 25, 2018. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 150,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, up to 40,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each having a par value of $0.0001 per share. Shares of Class A common stock have both economic and voting rights. Shares of Class B common stock have no economic rights, but do have voting rights. Holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters presented to stockholders generally. The Company’s board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of any series of preferred stock.

On June 25, 2018, the Company completed the IPO of 7,647,500 shares of its Class A common stock. In connection with the IPO, the Company and i3 Verticals, LLC completed the Reorganization Transactions, pursuant to which all outstanding vested and non-vested Class A units, Class P units and common units were converted into new Common Units. Former Equity Owners' Common Units were converted into newly issued shares of Class A common stock. Continuing Equity Owners received newly issued shares of Class B common stock. For further descriptions of the IPO and Reorganization Transactions, see Note 1.

i3 Verticals, LLC Recapitalization

As noted above, the i3 Verticals, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement, among other things, appointed the Company as i3 Verticals, LLC’s sole managing member and reclassified all outstanding membership interests in i3 Verticals, LLC as non-voting common units. As the sole managing member of i3 Verticals, LLC, the Company controls the management of i3 Verticals, LLC. As a result, the Company consolidates i3 Verticals, LLC’s financial results and reports a non-controlling interest related to the economic interest of i3 Verticals, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the i3 Verticals, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement discussed above require i3 Verticals, LLC and the Company, at all times, to maintain (i) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by the Company and the number of Common Units owned by the Company and (ii) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class B common stock owned by the Continuing Equity Owners and the number of Common Units owned by the Continuing Equity Owners (other than shares of the Company's Class A common stock under unvested options the Company issues, treasury stock and preferred stock (the “Excluded Common Units”)). The Company may issue shares of Class B common stock only to the extent necessary to maintain the one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units of i3 Verticals, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners (other than the Excluded Common Units) and the number of shares of Class B common stock issued to the Continuing Equity Owners. Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only together with an equal number of Common Units of i3 Verticals, LLC. Only permitted transferees of Common Units held by the Continuing Equity Owners will be permitted transferees of Class B common stock.

The Continuing Equity Owners may from time to time at each of their options (subject, in certain circumstances, to time-based vesting requirements) require i3 Verticals, LLC to redeem all or a portion of their Common Units in exchange for, at i3 Verticals, LLC’s election, newly-issued shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each Common Unit redeemed, in each case in accordance with the terms of the i3 Verticals, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement; provided that, at the Company’s election, the Company may effect a direct exchange of such Class A common stock or such cash, as applicable, for such Common Units. The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their Common Units remain outstanding. Simultaneously with the payment of cash or shares of Class A common stock, as applicable, in connection with a redemption or exchange of Common Units pursuant to the terms of the i3 Verticals, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement, a number of shares of the Company's Class B common stock registered in the

name of the redeeming or exchanging Continuing Equity Owner will be canceled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of Common Units so redeemed or exchanged.

Redeemable Class A Units

Prior to the Company's recapitalization, as of September 30, 2017, there were 4,900,000 redeemable Class A units issued and outstanding. Upon receipt of a redemption request following the termination of employment of the current Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the redemption event), the Company was required to redeem all of the outstanding redeemable Class A units held by certain members. The redemption price of the redeemable Class A units was equal to the greater of (i) the fair value of the redeemable Class A unit or (ii) original issue price per redeemable Class A unit plus any preferred returns through the date of the redemption request.

Holders of redeemable Class A units had preferred return rights in preference to any declaration or distribution to holders of Class P units or common units, and equal to other Class A units. Preferred returns on the redeemable Class A units accrued at an amount equal to 10.0% per unit per annum of the original issue price, compounded annually, whether or not declared by the board of directors, and were cumulative. After preferential payment to the holder of redeemable Class A units and other Class A units, any additional distributions declared were distributed pro-rata to the holders of Class A units, common units and Class P units, in proportion to their respective units. Total cumulative preferred returns included within the carrying amount of the redeemable Class A units amounted to $3,376 and $2,823 as of June 25, 2018, the date of the Reorganization Transactions, and September 30, 2017, respectively.

During 2017, as obligated under the provisions of its member agreements, the Company declared distributions of approximately $131 to its redeemable Class A unit holders in connection with the members’ estimated tax liabilities.

As described in Note 1, the redeemable Class A units were converted into Common Units in i3 Verticals, LLC in connection with the Reorganization Transactions.

Preferred returns on the Class A units accrued at an amount equal to 10.0% per unit per annum of the original issue price, compounded annually, whether or not declared by the board of directors, and were cumulative. After preferential payment to the holder of Class A units, any additional distributions declared were distributed pro-rata to the holders of Class A units, common units and Class P units, in proportion to their respective units.

The Junior Subordinated Notes Warrants were issued at zero value and were reflected within members’ equity within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Restricted Class P Units

As of September 30, 2017, there were 7,647,350 restricted Class P units issued and outstanding to certain members of the Company's Board of Directors and employees.

All Class P units were issued at a participation threshold above the valuation of the Company at the grant date. As a result, they had a nominal value, individually and in the aggregate, at the grant date. Using an option-pricing model and considering liquidation preferences of the Class P units, as well as the lack of marketability, management determined that any compensation expense related to the restricted units was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
