EXPLANATORY NOTE

(“we”, “us”, “our”, “OppFi” or the “Company”) filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form S-1 (File No. 333-258698), which was amended on September 22, 2021 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was initially declared effective by the SEC on September 27, 2021 and initially registered the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders (the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to (A) 104,416,632 shares of our Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), which consisted of (i) an aggregate of 3,443,750 shares of Class A Common Stock that were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock from shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), on a one-for-one basis at the Closing (as defined below), (ii) 462,500 shares of Class A Common Stock and 231,250 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying warrants (“Private Placement Unit Warrants”) that were previously part of 462,500 private placement units (“Private Placement Units”) purchased by FG New America Investors LLC (the “Sponsor”) in connection with the initial public offering of FG New America Acquisition Corp. (the “IPO”), (iii) 71,325 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Underwriter Shares”) and 59,464 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying warrants (“Underwriter Warrants”) that were previously part of 118,875 Underwriter Units (as defined below) issued to underwriters in the IPO, (iv) 96,500,243 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to the Members (as defined below) upon exercise of the Retained OppFi Units (as defined below) pursuant to the Exchange Rights (as defined below), (v) 486,850 shares of Class A Common Stock held by certain Members, (vi) 2,248,750 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying warrants issued to the Sponsor in a private placement concurrently with the IPO (the “Founder Warrants”) and (vii) 912,500 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock at $15.00 per share issued to the Sponsor (the “$15 Exercise Price Warrants” and together with the Private Placement Unit Warrants, the Underwriter Warrants and the Founder Warrants, the “Private Placement Warrants”) in a private placement concurrently with the IPO and (B) up to 3,451,964 Private Placement Warrants.

We are filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to update the Registration Statement to (i) include updated information regarding the Selling Securityholders named in the prospectus, including a reduction in the number of shares of common stock being offered by the Selling Securityholders to 104,370,102 shares of Class A Common Stock and a reallocation of the Retained OppFi Units, and (ii) include the information from the Company’s filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as filed on March 11, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, as filed on May 2, 2022 (collectively, the “Annual Report”).

No additional securities are being registered under this Amendment. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of the Registration Statement.

The information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS—SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED MAY 3, 2022

OppFi Inc.

Up to 100,918,138 Shares of Class A Common Stock

Up to 15,339,464 Shares of Class A Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of Warrants

and Up to 3,451,964 Warrants

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to (A) 104,370,102 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), which consists of (i) an aggregate of 3,443,750 shares of Class A Common Stock that were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock from shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), on a one-for-one basis at the Closing (as defined below), (ii) 462,500 shares of Class A Common Stock and 231,250 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying warrants (“Private Placement Unit Warrants”) that were previously part of 462,500 private placement units (“Private Placement Units”) purchased by FG New America Investors LLC (the “Sponsor”) in connection with the initial public offering of FG New America Acquisition Corp. (the “IPO”), (iii) 71,325 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Underwriter Shares”) and 59,464 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying warrants (“Underwriter Warrants”) that were previously part of 118,875 Underwriter Units (as defined below) issued to underwriters in IPO, (iv) 96,338,476 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to the Members (as defined below) upon exercise of the Retained OppFi Units (as defined below) pursuant to the Exchange Rights (as defined below), (v) 602,087 shares of Class A Common Stock held by certain Members, (vi) 2,248,750 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying warrants issued to the Sponsor in a private placement concurrently with the IPO (the “Founder Warrants”) and (vii) 912,500 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock at $15.00 per share issued to the Sponsor (the “$15 Exercise Price Warrants” and together with the Private Placement Unit Warrants, the Underwriter Warrants and the Founder Warrants, the “Private Placement Warrants”) in a private placement concurrently with the IPO and (B) up to 3,451,964 Private Placement Warrants.

In addition, this prospectus relates to the offer and sale of up to 11,887,500 shares of Class A Common Stock that are issuable by us upon the exercise of 11,887,500 warrants originally issued in the IPO at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of Class A Common Stock (the “Public Warrants” and together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Warrants”). None of the Warrants are exercisable for twelve (12) months from the date of the closing of the offering in which such Warrants were purchased.

With respect to our Warrants, we do not believe it is likely that a Warrant holder would elect to exercise Warrants when our Class A common stock is trading below $11.50, or $15.00 in the case of the “$15 Exercise Price Warrants. See “Summary of the Prospectus,” “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities— The exercise price for our public warrants is higher than in many similar blank check company offerings in the past, and, accordingly, the public warrants are more likely to expire worthless,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Use of Proceeds” for further details.

The Selling Securityholders may offer, sell, or distribute all or a portion of the securities hereby registered publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales of the shares of Class A Common Stock or any Warrants, except with respect to amounts received by us upon the exercise of any such Warrants. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of these securities, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of shares of Class A Common Stock or warrants. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 141 of this prospectus.

Please see page 115 of this prospectus under the caption “Certain Relationships with Selling Securityholders” for the price that the Selling Securityholders paid for the Class A Common Stock and Warrants that are being registered for resale with this prospectus. Additionally, the shares being registered for resale will constitute a considerable percentage of our public float. Certain of the shares being registered for resale were purchased by the corresponding selling securityholders for prices considerably below the current market price of our common stock. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities and Being a Public Company—The future sales of shares of Class A Common Stock, including the sales of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this prospectus, may adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.”

Our registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that either we or the Selling Securityholders, will issue, offer, or sell any of the securities. With the exception of the Underwriter Shares and shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Underwriter Warrants, all other shares of Class A Common Stock registered hereunder are subject to lock-up agreements prohibiting the sale of such shares for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months after the Closing. For more details, please see page 130 of this prospectus under the caption “Selling Securityholders - Certain Relationships with Selling Securityholders - Investor Rights Agreement”.

Our Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants are listed on The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “OPFI” and “OPFI WS,” respectively. On April 28, 2022, the last reported sales price of our Class A Common Stock was $2.89 per share and the last reported sales price of our Public Warrants was $0.30 per warrant.

We are an “emerging growth company” and “smaller reporting company” under applicable federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in our securities involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 16.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus and the information set forth under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Our Company

We are a leading financial technology platform that powers banks to offer accessible lending products through our proprietary technology and artificial intelligence (“AI”) and a top-rated experience. Our primary mission is to facilitate financial inclusion and credit access to the 60 million everyday consumers who lack access to traditional credit through best available products and an unwavering commitment to our customers. Consumers on our platform benefit from higher approval rates and a highly automated, transparent, efficient, and fully digital experience. Our bank partners benefit from our turn-key, outsourced marketing, data science, and proprietary technology to digitally acquire, underwrite and service these everyday consumers. Unlike payday loans, earned wage access and similar credit products that often lack transparency, fairness, and ability to repay guidelines, we are dedicated to offering the best possible product and service at the best possible price. The average installment loan facilitated by our platform is $1,500, payable in monthly installments and with an average contractual term of 11 months. Payments are reported to the three major credit bureaus. Our dedication to borrowers is further evidenced by our “TurnUp” process described below and most importantly, by our exceptionally high customer satisfaction ratings. Since inception, we have facilitated more than $3.3 billion in loan issuances covering over 2 million loans.

Corporate Information

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 24, 2020 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name FG New America Acquisition Corp. OppFi-LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 3, 2015. On October 2, 2020, FGNA completed its IPO. On the Closing Date, the Business Combination with OppFi was consummated, resulting in the combined company being organized in an “Up-C” structure, and FGNA as the registrant changed its name to “OppFi Inc.” OppFi is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

Recent Developments

•On January 6, 2022, we announced that the Board had authorized a program to repurchase (“Repurchase Program”) up to $20.0 million in the aggregate of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time, on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other methods, at the discretion of the management of the Company and in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act and other applicable legal requirements. The timing and amount of the repurchases will depend on market conditions and other requirements. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and the Repurchase Program may be extended, modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. For each share of Class A Common Stock that the Company repurchases under the Repurchase Program, OppFi-LLC will redeem one Class A common unit of OppFi-LLC held by the Company, decreasing the percentage ownership of OppFi-LLC by the Company and relatively increasing the ownership by the other members. The Repurchase Program will expire in December 2023.

•On February 23, 2022, the Board appointed Mr. Todd G. Schwartz as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective February 28, 2022. Mr. Schwartz will continue to serve as the Executive Chairman of the Board.

•On March 25, 2022, we announced that the Board appointed Ms. Pamela Johnson as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective March 28, 2022. Ms. Johnson will continue to serve as the Chief Accounting Officer.

•On April 15, 2022, OppFi-LLC entered into total return swaps (the “TRS”) with affiliates of Midtown Madison Management (collectively, “Midtown”) pursuant to which OppFi-LLC agreed to provide credit protection related to a reference pool of consumer receivables financed by Midtown through a $75 million revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Midtown as lender and Gray Rock SPV V, LLC as borrower (“Borrower”). Pursuant to the TRS, Opp-Fi LLC will receive payments received by the Midtown reference lenders under the Credit Agreement. OppFi-LLC also entered into a servicing agreement to service the consumer receivables financed through the Credit Agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”). The TRS is designed to enable OppFi-LLC to obtain the economic benefit of owning interests in the consumer receivables financed with loans made under the Credit Agreement, without actually owning such receivables, in return for OppFi-LLC paying interest and principal losses on such loans to Midtown. OppFi-LLC incurs the risk that certain Borrower defaults under the Credit Agreement may result in acceleration of the

8

Loans, termination of Midtown’s commitments to make additional Loans and the obligation of OppFi-LLC to pay default interest under the TRS.

Emerging Growth Status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates equaled or exceeded $700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates equaled or exceeded $250 million as of the end of the prior June 30th, and (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year or the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates equaled or exceeded $700 million as of the prior June 30th.

Summary of Risk Factors Related to Our Business

The following is a summary of the risk factors our business faces. The list below is not exhaustive, and investors should read this “Risk Factors” section in full. Some of the risks we face include:

•we are a rapidly growing company with a relatively limited operating history, which may result in increased risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties, and makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects;

•our revenue growth rate and financial performance in recent periods may not be indicative of future performance and such growth may slow over time;

•the COVID-19 pandemic has harmed our growth rate and could continue to harm our growth rate and our business, financial condition and results of operations, including the credit risk of our customers;

•if we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected;

•we may not be able to maintain or increase our profitability in the future;

•we may experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;

11

•if we are unable to continue to improve our AI and machine learning-based risk models or if these models contain errors or are otherwise ineffective, our growth prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected;

•loans originated by our bank partner FinWise accounted for approximately 60.8% and 62.6% of the net originations facilitated by our platform during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and similar percentages of our net revenues. If FinWise were to cease or limit operations with us or if we are unable to attract and onboard new bank partners, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected;

•our sales and onboarding process of new bank partners could take longer than expected, leading to fluctuations or variability in expected revenues and results of operations;

•our business may be adversely affected by economic conditions and other factors that we cannot control;

•decreased demand for loans as a result of increased savings or income or government stimulus could result in a loss of revenues or decline in profitability if we are unable to successfully adapt to such changes;

•our AI models have not yet been extensively tested during down-cycle economic conditions. If our AI models do not accurately reflect a borrower’s credit risk in such economic conditions, the performance of loans facilitated on our platform may be worse than anticipated;

•our business is subject to a wide range of laws and regulations, many of which are evolving, and changes in such laws and regulations or the enforcement of such laws and regulations, and/or failure or perceived failure to comply with such laws and regulations, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations;

•substantially all of our revenue is derived from a single loan product, and it is thus particularly susceptible to fluctuations in the unsecured personal loan market. We also do not currently offer a broad suite of products that bank partners may find desirable. If we are unable to manage the risks related to new products that we offer, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected;

•if we are unable to maintain diverse and robust sources of capital to fund loans originated by us on our platform in certain states or fund our purchase of participation rights in the economic interests of loans originated by our bank partners on our platform, then our growth prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected;

•if we fail to establish and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, as a public company, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, investors may lose confidence in financial reporting and the trading price of our securities may decline;

•if loans facilitated through our platform for one or more bank partners are subject to successful challenge that the bank partner was not the “true lender,” such loans may be unenforceable, subject to rescission, or otherwise impaired, we or other program participants may be subject to fines, judgments and penalties, and/or our commercial relationships may suffer, each of which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations;

12

•litigation, regulatory actions and compliance issues could subject us to significant fines, penalties, judgments, remediation costs and/or requirements resulting in increased expenses;

•as a holding company, our only asset is our interest in OppFi-LLC, and we depend on OppFi-LLC to pay our expenses, and based on our tax structure, we may be required to satisfy our liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined below), which could be substantial; and

•a minority share position may reduce the influence that our non-affiliate stockholders have on our management.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risks. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein, before deciding whether to purchase any of our securities. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Unless otherwise indicated, references in these risk factors to our business being harmed will include harm to our business, reputation, brand, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. In such event, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this prospectus, including matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” We may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, which may also impair our business or financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We are a rapidly growing company with a relatively limited operating history, which may result in increased risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties, and makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.

We were founded in 2012 and have experienced rapid growth in recent years. Our limited operating history may make it difficult to make accurate predictions about our future performance. Assessing our business and future prospects may also be difficult because of the risks and difficulties we face. These risks and difficulties include our ability to:

•improve the effectiveness and predictiveness of our AI models;

•maintain and increase the volume of loans facilitated by our lending platform;

•enter into new and maintain existing bank partnerships;

•successfully maintain diverse and robust sources of capital to fund loans originated by us on our platform in certain states or fund our purchase of participation rights in the economic interests of loans originated by our bank partners on our platform;

•successfully fund a sufficient quantity of our borrower loan demand with low cost bank funding to help keep interest rates offered to borrowers competitive;

•successfully build our brand and protect our reputation from negative publicity;

•increase the effectiveness of our marketing strategies, including our direct consumer marketing initiatives;

•continue to expand the number of potential borrowers;

•successfully adjust our proprietary AI models, products and services in a timely manner in response to changing macroeconomic conditions and fluctuations in the credit market;

•comply with and successfully adapt to complex and evolving regulatory environments.

•protect against increasingly sophisticated fraudulent borrowing and online theft;

•successfully compete with companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the business of providing online lending services to financial institutions or consumer financial services to borrowers;

•enter into new markets and introduce new products and services;

•effectively secure and maintain the confidentiality of the information received, accessed, stored, provided and used across our systems;

•successfully obtain and maintain funding and liquidity to support continued growth and general corporate purposes;

•attract, integrate and retain qualified employees; and

•effectively manage and expand the capabilities of our operations teams, outsourcing relationships and other business operations.

If we are not able to timely and effectively address these risks and difficulties as well as those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, our business and results of operations may be harmed.

14

Our revenue growth rate and financial performance in recent periods may not be indicative of future performance and such growth may slow over time.

We have grown rapidly over the last several years, and our recent revenue growth rate and financial performance may not be indicative of our future performance. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, our revenue was approximately $229 million, $291 million and $351 million, respectively, representing year-over-year revenue growth of approximately 27% from 2019 to 2020 and 20% from 2020 to 2021. You should not rely on our revenue for any previous quarterly or annual period as any indication of our revenue or revenue growth in future periods. As we grow our business, our revenue growth rates may slow, or our revenue may decline, in future periods for a number of reasons, which may include slowing demand for our platform offerings and services, increasing competition, a decrease in the growth of the overall credit market, changes in the regulatory environment, which could lead to increasing regulatory costs and challenges, and our failure to capitalize on growth opportunities. Further, we believe our growth over the last several years has been driven in large part by our AI models and our continued improvements to our AI models. Future incremental improvements to our AI models may not lead to the same level of growth as in past periods. In addition, we believe our growth over the last several years has been driven in part by our ability to rapidly streamline and automate the loan application and origination process on our platform. The Auto-Approval Rate on our platform was 18.3% in 2019 and increased to 25.7% in 2020 and 60.0% in 2021. See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for more information on how we define Auto Approval Rate. We expect the Auto-Approval Rate on our platform to level off and remain relatively constant in the long term, and to the extent we expand our loan offerings beyond unsecured personal loans, we expect that such percentage may decrease in the short term. As a result of these factors, our revenue growth rates may slow, and our financial performance may be adversely affected.

The COVID-19 pandemic has harmed our growth rate and could continue to harm our growth rate and our business, financial condition and results of operations, including the credit risk of our customers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused extreme societal, economic and financial market volatility, resulting in business shutdowns, an unprecedented reduction in economic activity and significant dislocation to businesses, the capital markets and the broader economy. In particular, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the finances of borrowers on our platform has been profound, as many have been, and will likely continue to be, impacted by unemployment, reduced earnings and/or elevated economic disruption and insecurity.

We have taken precautionary measures intended to reduce the risk of the virus spreading to our employees, vendors and the communities in which we operate, including temporarily closing our physical office and virtualizing, postponing, or canceling bank partner, employee, or industry events, which may negatively impact our business. We have adopted a hybrid remote working model as the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our ability to return to the office full-time. If a natural disaster, power outage, connectivity issue, or other event occurred that impacted our employees’ ability to work remotely, it may be difficult or, in certain cases, impossible, for us to continue our business for a substantial period of time.

Further, in response to the market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we made certain operational changes, including reductions in our sales and marketing activities and certain operational expenses. We continue to evaluate market and other conditions and may make additional changes or implement additional operational changes in the future.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business and results of operations will also depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the spread of variants, the scope of travel restrictions imposed in geographic areas in which we operate, mandatory or voluntary business closures, the impact on businesses and financial and capital markets, and the extent and effectiveness of actions taken throughout the world to contain the virus or treat its impact, including the effectiveness and availability of approved vaccine boosters. An extended period of economic disruption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, though the full extent and duration is uncertain. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our business and financial results, it is likely to also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Over the last several years, we have experienced rapid growth and fluctuations in our business and the Total Net Originations on our platform, and we expect to continue to experience growth and fluctuations in the future. Total Net Originations on our platform were approximately $496.5 million in 2019, $483.4 million in 2020 and $595 million in 2021, representing a decline of approximately 2.6% from 2019 to 2020 and a growth rate of approximately 23.1% from 2020 to 2021.

15

See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for more information on how we define Total Net Originations. This rapid growth has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management, processes and operational, technological and financial resources. Our ability to manage our growth effectively and to integrate new employees and technologies into our existing business will require us to continue to retain, attract, train, motivate and manage employees and expand our operational, technological and financial infrastructure. Continued growth could strain our ability to develop and improve our operational, technological, financial and management controls, enhance our reporting systems and procedures, recruit, train and retain highly skilled personnel and maintain user satisfaction. Any of the foregoing factors could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to maintain or increase our profitability in the future.

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, we experienced net income of approximately $33.0 million, $77.5 million and $89.8 million, respectively, representing an increase of approximately 135% from the year ended December 31, 2019 to the year ended December 31, 2020, and an increase of approximately 16% from the year ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2021. We intend to continue to expend significant funds to continue to develop and improve our proprietary AI models, improve our marketing efforts to increase the number of borrowers on our platform, enhance the features and overall user experience of our platform, expand the types of loan offerings on our platform and otherwise continue to grow our business, and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset these significant expenditures. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described in this section, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, macroeconomic conditions and other unknown events. Any failure to increase our revenue sufficiently to keep pace with our investments and other expenses could prevent us from maintaining or improving profitability on a consistent basis. If we are unable to successfully address these risks and challenges as we encounter them, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.

Our quarterly results of operations, including the levels of our revenue, net income and other key metrics, are likely to vary significantly in the future, and period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful. Accordingly, the results for any one quarter are not necessarily an accurate indication of future performance. Our quarterly financial results may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our quarterly financial results include:

•our ability to improve the effectiveness and predictiveness of our AI models;

•our ability to maintain relationships with existing bank partners and our ability to attract new bank partners;

•our ability to maintain or increase loan volumes, and improve loan mix and the channels through which the loans, bank partners and loan funding are sourced;

•general economic conditions, including economic slowdowns, recessions and tightening of credit markets, including due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and any governmental response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;

•improvements to our AI models that negatively impact transaction volume, such as lower approval rates;

•the timing and success of new products and services;

•the effectiveness of our direct marketing and other marketing channels;

•the amount and timing of operating expenses related to maintaining and expanding our business, operations and infrastructure, including acquiring new and maintaining existing bank partners and investors and attracting borrowers to our platform;

•our cost of borrowing money and access to loan and participation right funding sources;

•the number and extent of loans facilitated on our platform that are subject to loan modifications and/or temporary assistance due to disasters or emergencies;

•the number and extent of prepayments of loans facilitated on our platform;

•changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities on our balance sheet;

•network outages or actual or perceived security breaches;

16

•our involvement in litigation or regulatory enforcement efforts (or the threat thereof) or those that impact our industry generally;

•the length of the onboarding process related to acquisitions of new bank partners;

•changes in laws and regulations that impact our business; and

•changes in the competitive dynamics of our industry, including consolidation among competitors or the development of competitive products by larger well-funded incumbents.

In addition, we experience significant seasonality in the demand for loans on our platform, which is generally lower in the first quarter. This seasonal slowdown is primarily attributable to high loan demand around the holidays in the fourth quarter and the general increase in borrowers’ available cash flows in the first quarter, including cash received from tax refunds, which temporarily reduces borrowing needs. While our growth has obscured this seasonality in our overall financial results, we expect our results of operations to continue to be affected by such seasonality in the future. In light of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.

If we are unable to continue to improve our AI models or if our AI models contain errors or are otherwise ineffective, our growth prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Our ability to attract customers to our platform and increase the number of loans facilitated on our platform will depend in large part on our ability to effectively evaluate a borrower’s creditworthiness and likelihood of default and, based on that evaluation, offer competitively priced loans and higher approval rates. Further, our overall operating efficiency and margins will depend in large part on our ability to maintain a high degree of automation in the loan application process and achieve incremental improvements in the degree of automation. If our models fail to adequately predict the creditworthiness of borrowers due to the design of our models or programming or other errors, and our models do not detect and account for such errors, or any of the other components of our credit decision process fails, we and our bank partners may experience higher than forecasted loan losses. Any of the foregoing could result in sub-optimally priced loans, incorrect approvals or denials of loans, or higher than expected loan losses, which in turn could adversely affect our ability to attract new borrowers and bank partners to our platform, increase the number of loans facilitated on our platform or maintain or increase the average size of loans facilitated on our platform.

Our models also target and optimize other aspects of the lending process, such as borrower acquisition, fraud detection, default timing, loan stacking, prepayment timing and fee optimization, and our continued improvements to such models have allowed us to facilitate loans inexpensively and virtually instantly, with a high degree of consumer satisfaction and with an insignificant impact on loan performance. However, such applications of our models may prove to be less predictive than we expect, or than they have been in the past, for a variety of reasons, including inaccurate assumptions or other errors made in constructing such models, incorrect interpretations of the results of such models and failure to timely update model assumptions and parameters. Additionally, such models may not be able to effectively account for matters that are inherently difficult to predict and beyond our control, such as macroeconomic conditions, credit market volatility and interest rate fluctuations, which often involve complex interactions between a number of dependent and independent variables and factors. Material errors or inaccuracies in such models could lead us to make inaccurate or sub-optimal operational or strategic decisions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, errors or inaccuracies in our models could result in any person exposed to the credit risk of loans facilitated on our platform, whether it be us, our bank partners or our sources of capital, experiencing higher than expected losses or lower than desired returns, which could impair our ability to retain existing or attract new bank partners and sources of capital, reduce the number, or limit the types, of loans bank partners and sources of capital are willing to fund, and limit our ability to increase commitments under our credit facilities. Any of these circumstances could reduce the number of loans facilitated on our platform and harm our ability to maintain diverse and robust sources of capital and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Continuing to improve the accuracy of our models is central to our business strategy. While we believe that continuing to improve the accuracy of our models is key to our long-term success, those improvements could, from time to time, lead us to reevaluate the risks associated with certain borrowers, which could in turn cause us to lower approval rates or increase interest rates for any borrowers identified as a higher risk, either of which could negatively impact our growth and results of operations in the short term.

If our existing bank partners were to cease or limit operations with us or if we are unable to attract and onboard new bank partners, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

17

In the year ended December 31, 2020, approximately 65% of our net originations were generated from loans originated by our bank partners and facilitated by our platform, approximately 96% of which was generated by our bank partner FinWise. For the year ended December 31, 2021 approximately 91% of our net originations were generated from loans originated by our bank partners and facilitated by our platform, approximately 67% of which was generated by our bank partner FinWise. Our bank partner First Electronic Bank (“FEB”) began originating loans on our platform in May 2020 and our bank partner Capital Community Bank (“CCB”) began originating loans on our platform in October 2020. If any of our bank partners were to suspend, limit, or cease their operations or otherwise terminate their relationships with us, the number of loans facilitated through our platform could decrease and our revenue and revenue growth rates could be adversely affected. Our sales and onboarding process with new bank partners can be long and unpredictable. If we are unable to timely onboard our bank partners, or if our bank partners are not willing to work with us to complete a timely onboarding process, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

We have entered into separate agreements with each of our three bank partners. Our agreements with our bank partners are nonexclusive, generally have 60-month terms and certain agreements automatically renew, subject to certain early termination provisions and minimum fee amounts, and do not include any minimum origination obligations or origination limits. Our agreement with FinWise began on October 31, 2017 and will continue until February 1, 2023, with an automatic renewal provision for two additional three-year terms following the initial term, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Our bank partners could decide to stop working with us, ask to modify their agreement terms in a cost prohibitive manner when their agreement is up for renewal or enter into exclusive or more favorable relationships with our competitors. In addition, regulators may require that they terminate or otherwise limit their business with us; impose regulatory pressure limiting their ability to do business with us; or directly examine and assess our records, risk controls and compliance programs as they relate to our interactions with bank partners (and thereafter limit or prohibit future business between that bank partner and us). For example, in spite of federal law permitting state-chartered banks to enter into loans with interest rates allowed in their chartering states, the DFPI has sought to limit the interest rates of loans made by our bank partners on our platform in the State of California, which could have an impact on our bank partners’ ability to originate loans on our platform in California. If the bank partners listed above or any of our future bank partners were to stop working with us, suspend, limit, or cease their operations, or otherwise terminate their relationship with us, the number of loans facilitated through our platform could decrease and our revenue and revenue growth rates could be adversely affected. We could in the future have disagreements or disputes with any of our bank partners, which could negatively impact or threaten our relationship with them. In our agreements with bank partners, we make certain representations and warranties and covenants concerning our compliance with specific policies of a bank partner, our compliance with certain procedures and guidelines related to laws and regulations applicable to our bank partners, as well as the services to be provided by us. If those representations and warranties were not accurate when made or if we fail to perform a covenant, we may be liable for any resulting damages, including potentially any losses associated with impacted loans, and our reputation and ability to continue to attract new bank partners would be adversely affected. Additionally, our bank partners may engage in mergers, acquisitions or consolidations with each other, our competitors or with third parties, any of which could be disruptive to our existing and prospective relationships with our bank partners.

Our bank partner FinWise accounts for a substantial portion of the total number of loans facilitated by our platform and our revenue, and if it was to cease or limit operations with us, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

FinWise, a Utah-chartered bank, originates a majority of the loans facilitated by our platform. Loans originated by our bank partner FinWise accounted for approximately 60.8%, 62.6% and 53.2% of the net originations facilitated by our platform during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and similar percentages of our net revenues. FinWise retains a certain portion of the economic interests in these originated loans on its own balance sheet and sells participation rights in the remainder of the economic interests in these originated loans to us, which we in turn sell to our special purpose finance entities. Our program arrangement with FinWise began on October 31, 2017 and has an initial term that expires on February 1, 2023. After the initial term, the agreement will be automatically extended for two renewal periods of three years each. Either party may choose to not renew by providing the other party 180 days’ notice prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal term. In addition, even during the term of our arrangement, FinWise could choose to reduce the volume of loans facilitated on our platform that it chooses to originate. We or FinWise may terminate our arrangement immediately upon a material breach and failure to cure such breach within a cure period, if any representations or warranties are found to be false and such error is not cured within a cure period, bankruptcy or insolvency of either party, receipt of an order or judgement by a governmental entity, a material adverse effect, or in certain change of control situations. If we are unable to continue to increase the number of other bank partners on our platform or if FinWise or one of our other bank partners were to suspend, limit or cease their operations or otherwise terminate their relationship with us, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

The sales and onboarding process of new bank partners could take longer than expected, leading to fluctuations or variability in expected revenues and results of operations.

18

Our sales and onboarding process with new bank partners can be long and typically takes between three to six months. As a result, our revenues and results of operations may vary significantly from period to period. Prospective bank partners are often cautious in making decisions to implement our platform and related services because of the risk management alignment and regulatory uncertainties related to their use of our AI models, including their oversight, model governance and fair lending compliance obligations associated with using such models. In addition, prospective banks undertake an extensive diligence review of our platform, compliance and servicing activities before choosing to partner with us. Further, the implementation of our AI underwriting model often involves adjustments to the bank partner’s software and/or hardware platform or changes in their operational procedures, which may involve significant time and expense to implement. Delays in onboarding new bank partners can also arise while prospective bank partners complete their internal procedures to approve expenditures and test and accept our applications. Consequently, we face difficulty predicting the quarter in which new bank partners will begin using our platform and the volume of fees we will receive, which can lead to fluctuations in our revenues and results of operations.

Our business may be adversely affected by economic conditions and other factors that we cannot control.

Uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions, including significant tightening of credit markets, historically have created a difficult operating environment for our industry. Many factors, including factors that are beyond our control, may impact our results of operations or financial condition and our overall success by affecting a borrower’s willingness to incur loan obligations or willingness or capacity to make payments on their loans. These factors include interest rates, unemployment levels, conditions in the housing market, immigration policies, gas prices, energy costs, government shutdowns, trade wars and delays in tax refunds, as well as events such as natural disasters, acts of war, terrorism, catastrophes and pandemics.

Many new consumers on our platform have limited or no credit history. Accordingly, such borrowers have historically been, and may in the future become, disproportionately affected by adverse macroeconomic conditions, such as the disruption and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, major medical expenses, divorce, death or other issues that affect borrowers could affect a borrower’s willingness or ability to make payments on their loans. If borrowers default on loans facilitated on our platform, the cost to service these loans may also increase without a corresponding increase in our servicing fees or other related fees and the value of the loans held on our balance sheet could decline. Higher default rates by these borrowers may lead to lower demand by our bank partners and institutional investors to fund loans facilitated by our platform, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

During periods of economic slowdown or recession, our sources of capital may reduce the level of participation rights in loans originated by our bank partners on our platform that they will fund our purchase of, or the amounts of loans originated by us that they will fund, or demand terms that are less favorable to us to compensate for any increased risks. A reduction in the volume of the loans that can be facilitated by our platform due to our sources of capital would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

For example, the COVID-19 pandemic and other related adverse economic events led to a significant increase in unemployment, comparable, and at times surpassing, the unemployment rates during the peak of the financial crisis in 2008. The increase in the unemployment rate could increase the delinquency rate of loans facilitated on our platform or increase the rate of borrowers declaring bankruptcy. If we are unable to improve our AI platform to account for events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting rise in unemployment, or if our AI platform is unable to more successfully predict the creditworthiness of potential borrowers compared to other lenders, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In addition, personal loans are dischargeable in a bankruptcy proceeding involving a borrower without the need for the borrower to file an adversary claim. The discharge of a significant amount of personal loans facilitated by our platform could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including by causing our bank partners to stop working with us, suspend, limit, or cease their operations, or otherwise terminate their relationship with us.

Decreased demand for loans as a result of increased savings or income could result in a loss of revenues or decline in profitability if we are unable to successfully adapt to such changes.

The demand for the loan products facilitated on our platform in the markets we serve could decline due to a variety of factors, such as regulatory restrictions that reduce borrower access to particular products, the availability of competing or alternative products, or changes in borrowers’ financial conditions, particularly increases in income or savings, such as recent government stimulus programs. For instance, an increase in state or federal minimum wage requirements, a decrease in individual income tax rates or an increase in tax credits, could decrease demand for our loans. Additionally, a change in focus from borrowing to saving would reduce demand. Should we fail to adapt to a significant change in borrowers’ demand for, or access to, the loan products facilitated on our platform, our revenues could decrease significantly. Even if we make adaptations

19

or introduce new products to fulfill borrower demand, borrowers may resist or may reject products whose adaptations make them less attractive or less available. Such decreased demand could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Our models have not yet been extensively tested during down-cycle economic conditions. If our models do not accurately reflect a borrower’s credit risk in such economic conditions, the performance of loans facilitated on our platform may be worse than anticipated.

The performance of loans facilitated by our platform is significantly dependent on the effectiveness of our proprietary models used to evaluate a borrower’s credit profile and likelihood of default. While our models have been refined and updated to account for the COVID-19 pandemic, the bulk of the data gathered and the development of our models have largely occurred during a period of sustained economic growth, and our models have not been extensively tested during a down-cycle economy or recession and have not been tested at all during a down-cycle economy or recession without significant levels of government assistance. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2020, despite the outbreak and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our models indicated that the credit risk of our loan applicants remained flat during this period and government stimulus programs had positive effects on the credit performance of loans facilitated on our platform during this period. This positive performance continued through the middle of 2021. As the effects of stimulus wore off in the second half of 2021, it took time for the models to recognize the shift in loan performance. There is no assurance that our models can continue to accurately predict loan performance under adverse economic conditions, or that our models will be able to recognize future changes in credit performance before the effects of any such changes have an impact on the fair value of the finance receivables on our balance sheet. If our models are unable to accurately reflect the credit risk of loans under such economic conditions, we may experience greater than expected losses on such loans, which would harm our reputation and erode the trust we have built with our bank partners and capital sources. In addition, the fair value of the loans on our balance sheet may decline. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Substantially all of our revenue is derived from a single loan product, and we are thus particularly susceptible to fluctuations in the unsecured personal loan market. We also do not currently offer a broad suite of products that bank partners may find desirable.

While we recently expanded the type of loan products offered on our platform to include SalaryTap, our payroll deduction secured installment loan product, and our OppFi Card credit card product, the vast majority of loan originations facilitated through our platform are currently unsecured personal installment loans. The market for unsecured personal loans has grown rapidly in recent years, and it is unclear to what extent such market will continue to grow, if at all. A wide variety of factors could impact the market for unsecured personal loans, including macroeconomic conditions, competition, regulatory developments and other developments in the credit market. For example, FICO has recently changed its methodology in calculating credit scores in a manner that potentially penalizes borrowers who take out personal loans to pay off or consolidate credit card debt. This change could negatively affect the overall demand for personal loans. Our success will depend in part on the continued growth of the unsecured personal loan market, and if such market does not further grow or grows more slowly than we expect, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In addition, bank partners may in the future seek partnerships with competitors that are able to offer them a broader array of credit products. Over time, in order to preserve and expand our relationships with our existing bank partners, and enter into new bank partnerships, it may become increasingly important for us to be able to offer a wider variety of products than we currently provide. We are also susceptible to competitors that may intentionally underprice their loan products, even if such pricing practices lead to losses. Such practices by competitors would negatively affect the overall demand for personal loans facilitated on our platform.

Further, because such personal loans are unsecured, there is a risk that borrowers will not prioritize repayment of such loans, particularly in any economic downcycle. To the extent borrowers have or incur other indebtedness that is secured, such as a mortgage, a home equity line of credit or an auto loan, borrowers may choose to repay obligations under such secured indebtedness before repaying their loans facilitated on our platform. In addition, borrowers may not view loans facilitated on our platform, which were originated through an online platform, as having the same significance as other credit obligations arising under more traditional circumstances, such as loans originated by banks or other commercial financial institutions on other platforms. Any of the forgoing could lead to higher default rates and decreased demand by our bank partners and capital sources to fund loans facilitated by our platform, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, we experienced default rates, which we refer to as net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables on an annualized basis, of 42.2%, 35.6% and 37.5%, respectively. See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for more information on net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables. When a loan facilitated on our platform is charged off, the cost to service

20

these loans may increase without a corresponding increase in our servicing fees or other related fees and the value of the loans held on our balance sheet may decline. Higher default rates may also lead to lower demand by our bank partners and capital sources to fund loans facilitated by our platform, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are also more susceptible to the risks of changing and increased regulations and other legal and regulatory actions targeted towards the unsecured personal loan market. It is possible that regulators may view unsecured personal loans as high risk for a variety of reasons, including that borrowers will not prioritize repayment of such loans due to the unsecured nature of such loans or because existing laws and regulations may not sufficiently address the benefits and corresponding risks related to financial technology as applied to consumer lending. Further, courts and/or regulators could change their interpretation or application of state and federal consumer financial protection laws for the unsecured personal loan product class given hardships borrowers experience or actual or perceived lack of borrower disclosure or understanding of loan terms. If we are unable to manage the risks associated with the unsecured personal loan market, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We have developed and may develop in the future new loan products and services offerings, and if we are unable to manage the related risks, our growth prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We recently began offering SalaryTap, our payroll deduction secured installment loan product, and OppFi Card, our credit card product, and we may develop new loan products in the future. New initiatives are inherently risky, as each involves unproven business strategies, new regulatory requirements and new financial products and services with which we, and in some cases our bank partners, have limited or no prior development or operating experience. Launching new products can be capital intensive, and it can take time to determine both an appropriate market fit and profitable unit. New products, once launched, may never achieve scale in a target market or achieve significant profitability.

We cannot be sure that we will be able to develop, commercially market and achieve market acceptance of any new products and services that we may offer. In addition, our investment of resources to develop new products and services may either be insufficient or result in expenses that are excessive in light of revenue actually derived from these new products and services. If the profile or behavior of loan applicants using any new products and services is different from that of those currently served by our existing loan products, our AI models may not be able to accurately evaluate the credit risk of such borrowers, and our bank partners and capital sources may in turn experience higher levels of delinquencies or defaults. Failure to accurately predict demand or growth with respect to our new products and services could have an adverse impact on our reputation and business, and there is always risk that new products and services will be unprofitable, will increase our costs, decrease operating margins or take longer than anticipated to achieve target margins. In addition, any new products or services may raise new and potentially complex regulatory compliance obligations, which would increase our costs and may cause us to change our business in unexpected ways. Further, our development efforts with respect to these initiatives could distract management from current operations and will divert capital and other resources from our existing business.

We may also have difficulty with securing adequate funding for any such new loan products and services, and if we are unable to do so, our ability to develop and grow these new offerings and services will be impaired. If we are unable to effectively manage the foregoing risks, our growth prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our reputation and brand are important to our success, and if we are unable to continue developing our reputation and brand, our ability to retain existing and attract new bank partners, our ability to attract borrowers to our platform and our ability to maintain and improve our relationship with regulators of our industry could be adversely affected.

We believe maintaining a strong brand and trustworthy reputation is critical to our success and our ability to attract borrowers to our platform, attract new bank partners and maintain good relations with regulators and existing bank partners. Factors that affect our brand and reputation include: perceptions of artificial intelligence, our industry and our company, including the quality and reliability of our AI-enabled underwriting platform; the accuracy of our AI models; perceptions regarding the application of artificial intelligence to consumer lending specifically; our loan funding programs; changes to our platform; our ability to effectively manage and resolve borrower complaints; collection practices; privacy and security practices; litigation; regulatory activity; and the overall user experience of our platform. Negative publicity or negative public perception of these factors, even if inaccurate, could adversely affect our brand and reputation.

For example, consumer advocacy groups, politicians and certain government and media reports have, in the past, advocated governmental action to prohibit or severely restrict consumer loan arrangements where banks contract with a third-party platform such as ours to provide origination assistance services to bank customers. Such criticism has frequently been levied in the context of payday loan marketers, though other entities operating programs through which loans similar to loans

21

facilitated on our platform are originated have also faced criticism. The perceived improper use of a bank charter by these entities has been challenged by both governmental authorities and private litigants, in part because of the higher rates and fees a bank is permitted to charge consumers in certain payday and small-dollar lending programs relative to non-bank lenders. State regulators have made statements in the past threatening regulatory action against us related to loans originated on our platform by state chartered-banks, and such statements and the perception of possible regulatory action could adversely affect our reputation and the willingness of bank partners to originate loans on our platform. Bank regulators have also required banks to exit third-party programs that the regulators determined involved unsafe and unsound practices or present other risks to the bank. We believe the payday or “small-dollar” loans that have been subject to more frequent criticism and challenge are fundamentally different from loans facilitated on our platform in many ways, including that loans facilitated on our platform typically have lower interest rates, longer terms and amortize over their life. If we are nevertheless associated with such payday or small-dollar consumer loans, or if we are associated with increased criticism of non-payday loan programs involving relationships between bank originators and non-bank lending platforms and program managers, demand for loans facilitated on our platform could significantly decrease, which could cause our bank partners to reduce their origination volumes or terminate their arrangements with us, impede our ability to attract new bank partners or delay the onboarding of bank partners, impede our ability to attract capital sources or reduce the number of potential borrowers who use our platform. In addition, the increased focus on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) issues could damage our reputation or prospects if customers, prospective customers, investors or third parties assigning ESG ratings to us are of the opinion that our practices, including without limitation our lending practices, are not sufficiently robust from an ESG perspective. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Any negative publicity or public perception of loans facilitated on our platform or other similar consumer loans or the consumer lending service we provide may also result in us being subject to more restrictive interpretation or application of laws and regulations and potential investigations and enforcement actions. We may also become subject to additional lawsuits, including class action lawsuits, or other challenges such as government enforcement or arbitration, against our bank partners or us for loans originated by our bank partners on our platform or loans we service or have serviced, which we have been subject to in the past. See the section titled “Risk Factors—We have been in the past and may in the future be subject to federal and state regulatory inquiries regarding our business” for more information. If there are changes in the laws or in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws affecting consumer loans similar to those offered on our platform, or our marketing and servicing of such loans, or if we become subject to such lawsuits, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Artificial intelligence and related technologies are subject to public debate and heightened regulatory scrutiny. Any negative publicity or negative public perception of artificial intelligence could negatively impact demand for our platform, hinder our ability to attract new bank partners. From time to time, certain advocacy groups have made claims that unlawful or unethical discriminatory effects may result from the use of AI technology by various companies. Such claims, whether or not accurate, and whether or not concerning us or our AI-enabled underwriting platform, may harm our ability to attract prospective borrowers to our platform, retain existing and attract new bank partners and achieve regulatory acceptance of our business.

Harm to our reputation can also arise from many other sources, including employee or former employee misconduct, misconduct by outsourced service providers or other counterparties, failure by us or our bank partners to meet minimum standards of service and quality, and inadequate protection of borrower information and compliance failures and claims. If we are unable to protect our reputation, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

If we do not compete effectively in our target markets, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

The consumer lending market is highly competitive and increasingly dynamic as new entrants and emerging technologies continue to enter into the marketplace. With the introduction of new technologies and the influx of new entrants, competition may persist and intensify in the future, which could have an adverse effect on our operations or business.

Our inability to compete effectively could result in reduced loan volumes, reduced average size of loans facilitated on our platform, reduced fees, increased marketing and borrower acquisition costs or the failure of our platform to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Consumer lending is a broad and competitive market, and we compete to varying degrees with other sources of unsecured consumer credit. This can include banks, non-bank lenders including retail-based lenders and other financial technology lending platforms. Because personal loans often serve as a replacement for credit cards, we also compete with the convenience and ubiquity that credit cards represent. Many of our competitors operate with different business models, such as lending-as-a-service or point-of-sale lending, have different cost structures or regulatory obligations, or participate selectively in different market segments. They may ultimately prove more successful or more adaptable to new regulatory, economic, technological and other developments, including utilizing new data sources or credit models. We may also face competition from banks or

22

companies that have not previously competed in the consumer lending market, including companies with access to vast amounts of consumer-related information that could be used in the development of their own credit risk models. Our current or potential competitors may be better at developing new products due to their large and experienced data science and engineering teams, who are able to respond more quickly to new technologies. Many of our current or potential competitors have significantly more resources, such as financial, technical and marketing resources, than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their platforms and distribution channels. We face competition in areas such as compliance capabilities, commercial financing terms and costs of capital, interest rates and fees (and other financing terms) available to consumers from our bank partners, approval rates, model efficiency, speed and simplicity of loan origination, ease-of-use, marketing expertise, service levels, products and services, technological capabilities and integration, borrower experience, brand and reputation. Our competitors may also have longer operating histories, lower costs of capital, more extensive borrower bases, more diversified products and borrower bases, operational efficiencies, more versatile or extensive technology platforms, greater brand recognition and brand loyalty, broader borrower and partner relationships, more extensive and/or more diversified source of capital than we have, and more extensive product and service offerings than we have. Furthermore, our existing and potential competitors may decide to modify their pricing and business models to compete more directly with us. Our ability to compete will also be affected by our ability to provide our bank partners with a commensurate or more extensive suite of loan products than those offered by our competitors. In addition, current or potential competitors, including financial technology lending platforms and existing or potential bank partners, may also acquire or form strategic alliances with one another, which could result in our competitors being able to offer more competitive loan terms due to their access to lower-cost capital. Such acquisitions or strategic alliances among our competitors or potential competitors could also make our competitors more adaptable to a rapidly evolving regulatory environment. To stay competitive, we may need to increase our regulatory compliance expenditures or our ability to compete may be adversely affected.

Our industry is driven by constant innovation. We utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning, which is characterized by extensive research efforts and rapid technological progress. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments, our ability to operate profitably could suffer. There can be no assurance that research, data accumulation and development by other companies will not result in AI models that are superior to our AI models or result in products superior to those we develop or that any technologies, products or services we develop will be preferred to any existing or newly-developed technologies, products or services. If we are unable to compete with such companies or fail to meet the need for innovation in our industry, the use of our platform could stagnate or substantially decline, or our loan products could fail to maintain or achieve more widespread market acceptance, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we are unable to manage the risks associated with fraudulent activity, our brand and reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Fraud is prevalent in the financial services industry and is likely to increase as perpetrators become more sophisticated. Although we have not experienced any material business or reputational harm as a result of fraudulent activity in the past, we are subject to the risk of fraudulent activity associated with borrowers and third parties handling borrower information. In the event of losses arising out of fraudulent loan applications, we may also be contractually obligated to indemnify our bank partners or capital sources for such losses. Fraud rates could also increase in a downcycle economy. We use several identity and fraud detection tools, including tools provided by third-party vendors and our proprietary AI models, to predict and otherwise validate or authenticate applicant-reported data and data derived from third-party sources. We have historically had very low levels of fraud rates, however, the possibility of fraudulent or other malicious activities and human error or malfeasance cannot be eliminated entirely and will evolve as new and emerging technology is deployed, including the increasing use of personal mobile and computing devices that are outside of our network and control environments. Moreover, if our efforts are insufficient to accurately detect and prevent fraud, the level of fraud-related losses of loans facilitated on our platform could increase, which would decrease confidence in our platform. In addition, our bank partners, our sources of capital or we may not be able to recover amounts disbursed on loans made in connection with inaccurate statements, omissions of fact or fraud, which could erode the trust in our brand and negatively impact our ability to attract new bank partners and our sources of capital.

High profile fraudulent activity also could negatively impact our brand and reputation. In addition, significant increases in fraudulent activity could lead to regulatory intervention, which could increase our costs and also negatively impact our brand and reputation. Further, if there is any increase in fraudulent activity that increases the need for human intervention in screening loan application data, the level of automation on our platform could decline and negatively affect our unit economics. If we are unable to manage these risks, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We depend on our key personnel and other highly skilled personnel, and if we fail to attract, retain and motivate our personnel, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

23

Our success significantly depends on the continued service of our senior management team, including Todd Schwartz, our Chief Executive Officer, Pamela Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer, and other highly skilled personnel. Our success also depends on our ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified personnel for all areas of our organization.

Competition for highly skilled personnel, including engineering and data analytics personnel, is extremely intense, including in Chicago where our headquarters is located. We have experienced, and expect to continue to face, difficulty identifying and hiring qualified personnel in many areas, especially as we pursue our growth strategy, and we may be required to pay increasingly higher wages to hire and retain adequate personnel. Further, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a large and increasing number of companies have adopted permanent work-from-home policies, which further increases the challenges associated with hiring and retaining qualified personnel. We may not be able to hire or retain such personnel at compensation or flexibility levels consistent with our existing compensation and salary structure and policies. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced employees have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In particular, candidates making employment decisions, specifically in high-technology industries, often consider the value of any equity they may receive in connection with their employment. Any significant volatility in the price of our securities may adversely affect our ability to attract or retain highly skilled technical, financial and marketing personnel.

In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to retain our employees, we could incur significant expenses in hiring and training their replacements. While we are in the process of training their replacements, the quality of our services and our ability to serve our bank partners, investors and borrowers whose loans we service may suffer, resulting in an adverse effect on our business.

Security breaches of borrowers’ confidential information that we store may harm our reputation, adversely affect our results of operations and expose us to liability.

We are increasingly dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure to operate our business. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, process, transmit and store large amounts of sensitive information, including personal information, credit information and other sensitive data of borrowers and potential borrowers. It is critical that we do so in a manner designed to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of such sensitive information. We have made commitments to our bank partners as it relates to data security and information technology. We also have arrangements in place with certain of our third-party vendors that require us to share consumer information. We have outsourced elements of our operations (including elements of our information technology infrastructure) to third parties, and as a result, we manage a number of third-party vendors who may have access to our computer networks and sensitive or confidential information. In addition, many of those third parties may in turn subcontract or outsource some of their responsibilities to other third parties. As a result, our information technology systems, including the functions of third parties that are involved or have access to those systems, is large and complex, with many points of entry and access. While all information technology operations are inherently vulnerable to inadvertent or intentional security breaches, incidents, attacks and exposures, the size, complexity, accessibility and distributed nature of our information technology systems, and the large amounts of sensitive information stored on those systems, make such systems potentially vulnerable to unintentional or malicious internal and external attacks. Any vulnerabilities can be exploited from inadvertent or intentional actions of our employees, third-party vendors, bank partners, loan investors or by malicious third parties. Attacks of this nature are increasing in their frequency, levels of persistence, sophistication and intensity, and are being conducted by sophisticated and organized groups and individuals with a wide range of motives (including, but not limited to, industrial espionage) and expertise, including organized criminal groups, “hacktivists,” nation states and others. In addition to the extraction of sensitive information, such attacks could include the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information and systems. In addition, the prevalent use of mobile devices increases the risk of data security incidents. Further, our shift to a remote working environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic could increase the risk of a security breach. Significant disruptions of our, our bank partners’ and third-party vendors’ and/or other business partners’ information technology systems or other similar data security incidents could adversely affect our business operations and result in the loss, misappropriation, or unauthorized access, use or disclosure of, or the prevention of access to, sensitive information, which could result in financial, legal, regulatory, business and reputational harm to us.

Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, we and our vendors may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, many governments have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity following a breach, which may cause borrowers and potential borrowers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures on our platform. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm our reputation and ability to attract new borrowers to our platform.

24

We also face indirect technology, cybersecurity and operational risks relating to our borrowers, bank partners, investors, vendors and other third parties with whom we do business or upon whom we rely to facilitate or enable our business activities, including vendors, payment processors, and other parties who have access to confidential information due to our agreements with them. In addition, any security compromise in our industry, whether actual or perceived, or information technology system disruptions, whether from attacks on our technology environment or from computer malware, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication and electrical failures, could interrupt our business or operations, harm our reputation, erode borrower confidence, negatively affect our ability to attract new borrowers, or subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or other action or liability, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Like other financial services firms, we have been and continue to be the subject of actual or attempted unauthorized access, mishandling or misuse of information, computer viruses or malware, and cyber-attacks that could obtain confidential information, destroy data, disrupt or degrade service, sabotage systems or cause other damage, distributed denial of service attacks, data breaches and other infiltration, exfiltration or other similar events.

While we regularly monitor data flow inside and outside the company, attackers have become very sophisticated in the way they conceal access to systems, and we may not be aware that we have been attacked. Any event that leads to unauthorized access, use or disclosure of personal information or other sensitive information that we or our vendors maintain, including our own proprietary business information and sensitive information such as personal information regarding borrowers, loan applicants or employees, could disrupt our business, harm our reputation, compel us to comply with applicable federal and/or state breach notification laws and foreign law equivalents, subject us to time consuming, distracting and expensive litigation, regulatory investigation and oversight, mandatory corrective action, require us to verify the correctness of database contents, or otherwise subject us to liability under laws, regulations and contractual obligations, including those that protect the privacy and security of personal information. This could result in increased costs to us and result in significant legal and financial exposure and/or reputational harm. In addition, any failure or perceived failure by us or our vendors to comply with our privacy, confidentiality or data security-related legal or other obligations to our bank partners or other third parties, actual or perceived security breaches, or any security incidents or other events that result in the unauthorized access, release or transfer of sensitive information, which could include personally identifiable information, may result in governmental investigations, enforcement actions, regulatory fines, litigation, or public statements against us by advocacy groups or others, and could cause our bank partners and other third parties to lose trust in us or we could be subject to claims by our bank partners and other third parties that we have breached our privacy- or confidentiality-related obligations, which could harm our business and prospects. Moreover, data security incidents and other inappropriate access can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying them may lead to increased harm of the type described above. There can be no assurance that our security measures intended to protect our information technology systems and infrastructure will successfully prevent service interruptions or security incidents. For example, in December 2018, we were made aware of a software error by a vendor that displayed mismatched consumer data on a prepopulated form, which affected fewer than 100 participants on our platform. The vendor system was patched and we made changes to our systems designed to prevent similar issues in the future. However, we cannot provide any assurance that similar vulnerabilities will not arise in the future as we continue to expand the features and functionalities of our platform and introduce new loan products on our platform, and we expect to continue investing substantially to protect against security vulnerabilities and incidents.

We maintain errors, omissions, and cyber liability insurance policies covering certain security and privacy damages. However, we cannot be certain that our coverage will continue to be available on economically reasonable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that an insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim, or that any insurer will be adequately covered by reinsurance or other risk mitigants or that any insurer will offer to renew policies at an affordable rate or offer such coverage at all in the future. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to manage the risks related to our loan servicing and collections obligations, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Loans facilitated on our platform are not secured by any collateral, guaranteed or insured by any third party or backed by any governmental authority. As a result, we are limited in our ability to collect on such loans on behalf of ourselves and our bank partners if a borrower is unwilling or unable to repay them. We handle in-house substantially all of the servicing activities for loans facilitated on our platform, including collection activities, which requires that we hire and train significant numbers of servicing personnel. For more information about our collections procedures and experience handling collections, see the section titled “Business—Customer Advocates and Collections Arrangements.” Our need for servicing personnel may vary over time and there is no assurance that we will be able to hire and train appropriate servicing personnel when necessary. For example, during periods of increased delinquencies caused by economic downturns or otherwise, it is important that our servicing personnel are proactive and consistent in contacting a borrower to bring a delinquent balance current and ultimately avoid the

25

related loan becoming charged off, which in turn makes it extremely important that the servicing personnel are properly staffed and trained to take prompt and appropriate action. If the servicing personnel are unable to maintain a high quality of service or fulfill their servicing obligations at all due to resource constraints resulting from the increased delinquencies, it could result in increased delinquencies and charge-offs on the loans, which could decrease fees payable to us, cause our bank partners to decrease the volume of loans facilitated on our platform and erode trust in our platform.

In addition, loan servicing is a highly regulated activity. Errors in our servicing activities or failures to comply with our servicing obligations could affect our internal and external reporting of the loans that we service, adversely affect our business and reputation and expose us to liability to borrowers, bank partners or capital sources. In addition, the laws and regulations governing these activities are subject to change. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic certain states prohibited or restricted collection activities. If we are unable to comply with such laws and regulations, we could lose one or more of our licenses or authorizations, become subject to greater scrutiny by regulatory agencies, or become subject to sanctions or litigation, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to perform our servicing obligations or make our platform available to borrowers in particular states. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we charge our bank partners and capital sources a fixed percentage servicing fee based on the outstanding balance of loans serviced. If we fail to efficiently service such loans and the costs incurred exceed the servicing fee charged, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

Borrowers may prepay a loan at any time without penalty, which could reduce our servicing fees and deter our bank partners and investors from investing in loans facilitated by our platform.

Borrowers may decide to prepay all or a portion of the remaining principal amount on loans facilitated by our platform at any time without penalty. If the entire or a significant portion of the remaining unpaid principal amount of a loan is prepaid, we would not receive a servicing fee or we would receive a significantly lower servicing fee associated with such prepaid loan. Prepayments may occur for a variety of reasons. If prepayments increase, the amount of our servicing fees would decline, which could harm our business and results of operations. If a significant volume of prepayments occur that our AI models do not accurately predict, returns targeted by us, our bank partners and our capital sources would be adversely affected and our ability to attract new bank partners and capital sources would be negatively affected.

Our marketing efforts and brand promotion activities may not be effective, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

Promoting awareness of our platform is important to our ability to grow our business, attract new bank partners and increase the number of potential borrowers on our platform. We believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in the consumer lending industry expands. Successful promotion of our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of marketing efforts and the overall user experience of our bank partners and potential borrowers on our platform, which factors are outside our control. The marketing channels that we employ may also become more crowded and saturated by other lending platforms, which may decrease the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and increase borrower acquisition costs. Also, the methodologies, policies and regulations applicable to marketing channels may change. For example, internet search engines could revise their methodologies, which could adversely affect borrower volume from organic ranking and paid search. Search engines may also implement policies that restrict the ability of companies such as us to advertise their services and products, which could prevent us from appearing in a favorable location or any location in the organic rankings or paid search results when certain search terms are used by the consumer. Our marketing cost per new funded loan increased to $254 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $211 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The 20.4% increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was driven by increased mix to the partner channel from lower cost organic channels and higher spend in direct mail as we pulled back direct mail spending in 2020.

Our brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenues. If we fail to successfully build trust in our platform and the performance and predictability of loans facilitated on our platform, we may lose existing bank partners to our competitors or be unable to attract new bank partners and capital sources, which in turn would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Even if our marketing efforts result in increased revenue, we may be unable to recover our marketing costs through increases in loan volume, which could result in a higher borrower acquisition cost per account. Any incremental increases in loan servicing costs, such as increases due to greater marketing expenditures, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Unfavorable outcomes in legal proceedings may harm our business and results of operations.

26

We are, and may in the future become, subject to litigation, claims, examinations, investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings, whether civil or criminal, or lawsuits by governmental agencies or private parties, which may affect our results of operations. These claims, lawsuits, and proceedings could involve labor and employment, discrimination and harassment, commercial disputes, intellectual property rights (including patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, and other proprietary rights), class actions, general contract, tort, defamation, data privacy rights, antitrust, common law fraud, government regulation, or compliance, alleged securities and law violations or other investor claims, and other matters. Due to the consumer-oriented nature of our business and the application of certain laws and regulations, participants in our industry are regularly named as defendants in litigation alleging violations of federal and state laws and regulations and liability for common law torts, including fraud. Many of these legal proceedings involve alleged violations of consumer protection laws. In addition, we are, and may in the future become, subject to litigation, claims, examinations, investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings related to the loans facilitated on our platform.

In particular, lending programs that involve originations by a bank in reliance on origination-related services being provided by non-bank lending platforms and/or program managers are subject to potential litigation and government enforcement claims based on “rent-a-charter” or “true lender” theories, particularly where such programs involve the subsequent sale of such loans or interests therein to the platform. See the section titled “Risk Factors—If loans facilitated through our platform for one or more bank partners were subject to successful challenge that the bank partner was not the “true lender,” such loans may be unenforceable, subject to rescission or otherwise impaired, we or other program participants may be subject to fines, judgments and penalties, and/or our commercial relationships may suffer, each of which would adversely affect our business and results of operations” below. In addition, loans originated by banks (which are exempt from certain state requirements), followed by the sale, assignment, or other transfer to non-banks of such loans or interests therein are subject to potential litigation and government enforcement claims based on the theory that transfers of loans from banks to non-banks do not transfer the ability to enforce contractual terms such as interest rates and fees which banks may charge, but non-banks may not. See “Risk Factors —If loans originated by us or loans originated by our bank partners were found to violate the laws of one or more states, whether at origination or after sale by the originating bank partner, loans facilitated through our platform may be unenforceable or otherwise impaired, we or other program participants may be subject to, among other things, fines, judgments and penalties, and/or our commercial relationships may suffer, each of which would adversely affect our business and results of operations” below. If we were subject to such litigation or enforcement, then any unfavorable results of pending or future legal proceedings may result in contractual damages, usury related claims, fines, penalties, injunctions, the unenforceability, rescission or other impairment of loans originated on our platform or other censure that could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Even if we adequately address the issues raised by an investigation or proceeding or successfully defend a third-party lawsuit or counterclaim, we may have to devote significant financial and management resources to address these issues, which could harm our business, financial condition, reputation and results of operations.

Recent financial, political and other events may increase the level of regulatory scrutiny on financial technology companies. Regulatory bodies may enact new laws or promulgate new regulations or view matters or interpret laws and regulations differently than they have in the past, or commence investigations or inquiries into our business practices. Any such investigations or inquiries, whether or not accurate or warranted, or whether concerning us or one of our competitors, could negatively affect our brand and reputation and the overall market acceptance of and trust in our platform. Any of the foregoing could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may evaluate and potentially consummate acquisitions, which could require significant management attention, consume our financial resources, disrupt our business and adversely affect our financial results.

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to grow our business. In some circumstances, we may determine to do so through the acquisition of complementary businesses and technologies rather than through internal development. The identification of suitable acquisition candidates can be difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and we may not be able to successfully complete identified acquisitions. In the future, we may acquire, assets or businesses. The risks we face in connection with acquisitions include:

•diversion of management time and focus from operating our business to addressing acquisition integration challenges;

•utilization of our financial resources for acquisitions or investments that may fail to realize the anticipated benefits;

•inability of the acquired technologies, products or businesses to achieve expected levels of revenue, profitability, productivity or other benefits;

•coordination of technology, product development and sales and marketing functions and integration of administrative systems;

•transition of the acquired company’s borrowers to our systems;

•retention of employees from the acquired company;

27

•regulatory risks, including maintaining good standing with existing regulatory bodies or receiving any necessary approvals, as well as being subject to new regulators with oversight over an acquired business;

•attracting financing;

•cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from the acquired company into our organization;

•the need to implement or improve controls, procedures and policies at a business that prior to the acquisition may have lacked effective controls, procedures and policies;

•potential write-offs of loans or intangibles or other assets acquired in such transactions that may have an adverse effect on our results of operations in a given period;

•liability for activities of the acquired company before the acquisition, including patent and trademark infringement claims, violations of laws, commercial disputes, tax liabilities and other known and unknown liabilities;

•assumption of contractual obligations that contain terms that are not beneficial to us, require us to license or waive intellectual property or increase our risk for liability; and

•litigation, regulatory criticisms, customer claims or other liabilities in connection with the acquired company.

Our failure to address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with any future acquisitions and investments could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions or investments, cause us to incur unanticipated liabilities and harm our business generally. Future acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of the combined company’s equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses or the write-off of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition.

Our business is subject to the risks of natural disasters and other catastrophic events, and to interruption by man-made problems, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Significant natural disasters or other catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, blizzards, or floods (many of which are becoming more acute and frequent as a result of climate change), or interruptions by strikes, crime, terrorism, epidemics, pandemics, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, internal or external system failures, telecommunications failures, power outages or increased risk of cybersecurity breaches due to a swift transition to remote work brought about by a catastrophic event, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy and consumer confidence. If the outbreak persists or worsens, it could continue to adversely impact the economy and consumer confidence, and could negatively impact our operations and our platform, each of which could seriously harm our business. In addition, it is possible that continued widespread remote work arrangements may have a negative impact on our operations, the execution of our business plans, the productivity and availability of key personnel and other employees necessary to conduct our business, or otherwise cause operational failures due to changes in our normal business practices necessitated by the outbreak and related governmental actions. There is no guarantee that we will be as effective while working remotely because our team is dispersed, employees may have less capacity to work due to increased personal obligations (such as childcare, eldercare, or caring for family members who become sick), may become sick themselves and be unable to work, or may be otherwise negatively affected, mentally or physically, by the COVID-19 pandemic and prolonged social distancing. Additionally, remote work arrangements may make it more difficult to scale our operations efficiently, as the recruitment, onboarding and training of new employees may be prolonged or delayed. We have adopted a hybrid remote working model as the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our ability to return to the office full-time. If a natural disaster, power outage, connectivity issue, or other event occurred that impacted our employees’ ability to work remotely, it may be difficult or, in certain cases, impossible, for us to continue our business for a substantial period of time. The increase in remote working may also result in privacy, data protection, data security, and fraud risks.

In addition, acts of war and other armed conflicts, disruptions in global trade, travel restrictions and quarantines, terrorism and other civil, political and geo-political unrest could cause disruptions in our business and lead to interruptions, delays or loss of critical data. Any of the foregoing risks may be further increased if our business continuity plans prove to be inadequate and there can be no assurance that both personnel and non-mission critical applications can be fully operational after a declared disaster within a defined recovery time. If our personnel, systems or data centers are impacted, we may suffer interruptions and delays in our business operations. In addition, to the extent these events impact the ability of borrowers to timely repay their loans, our business could be negatively affected.

We may not maintain sufficient business interruption or property insurance to compensate us for potentially significant losses, including potential harm to our business that may result from interruptions in our ability to provide our financial products and services.

Risks Related to Our Financial Reporting and Risk Management

If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect or financial reporting standards or interpretations change, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant assumptions and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include those related to fair value determinations, stock-based compensation and consolidation of variable interest entities, as well as tax matters. Our results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of industry or financial analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the trading price of our securities.

Additionally, we regularly monitor our compliance with applicable financial reporting standards and review new pronouncements and drafts thereof that are relevant to us. As a result of new standards, or changes to existing standards, and changes in their interpretation, we might be required to change our accounting policies, alter our operational policies and implement new or enhance existing systems so that they reflect new or amended financial reporting standards, or we may be required to restate our published financial statements. Such changes to existing standards or changes in their interpretation may have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, and profit and loss, or cause an adverse deviation from our revenue and operating profit and loss target, which may negatively impact our results of operations.

The determination of the fair values of our finance receivables portfolio involves unobservable inputs that can be highly subjective and may prove to be materially different than the actual economic outcome.

We began utilizing the fair value option for our finance receivables (other than SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables, which are carried at amortized cost) effective January 1, 2021. The fair values of our finance receivables are determined using discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Valuations are highly dependent upon the reasonableness of our assumptions and estimates and the predictability of the relationships that drive the results of our valuation methodologies. A variety of factors including, but not limited to, estimated customer default rates, the timing of expected payments, utilization rates on our line of credit accounts, estimated costs to service the finance receivables, prepayment rates, discount rates, and valuations of comparable portfolios may ultimately affect the fair values of our loans and finance receivables. Modifications to our assumptions due to the passage of time and more information becoming available could result in material changes to our fair value calculations. These changes to fair value could adversely affect our results of operations. Additionally, under the fair value option, these changes are generally recorded directly to the income statement, which may make our financial statements less comparable to others in the industry that do not record their loan balances under the fair value option.

If we fail to establish and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting as a public company, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the trading price of our securities may decline.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations of the applicable listing standards of the NYSE. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting . However, as an emerging growth company, an attestation of an independent registered public accounting firm will initially not be required. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We are also continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs, and significant management oversight. Our current controls and any new controls that we may develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. We may need to upgrade our legacy information technology systems,

29

implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures, and hire additional accounting and finance staff.

If we are unable to hire the additional accounting and finance staff necessary to comply with these requirements, we may need to retain additional outside consultants. If we or, if required, our independent registered public accounting firm, are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could negatively impact the price of our securities.

Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting have been discovered in the past and may be discovered in the future. For example, on April 22, 2021, FGNA concluded that it was appropriate to restate its previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020, and as part of such process, FGNA identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. As the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, we inherited this material weakness and the Warrants. FGNA reevaluated the accounting treatment of the Warrants, and determined to classify the Warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

We cannot assure you that there will not be additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting now or in the future. We have not conducted an internal control evaluation and assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, and pursuant to Section 215.02 of the SEC Division of Corporate Finance’s Regulation S-K Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations, we have not included management’s report on internal control over financial reporting in this prospectus. Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm determines that we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our securities could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the NYSE, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

If our risk management framework does not effectively identify and control our risks, we could suffer unexpected losses or be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our risk management processes and procedures seek to appropriately balance risk and return and mitigate risks. We have established processes and procedures intended to identify, measure, monitor and control the types of risk to which we are subject, including credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, strategic risk, operational risk, cybersecurity risk and reputational risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss that arises when a loan obligor fails to meet the terms of a loan repayment obligation, the loan enters default, and if uncured results in financial loss of remaining principal and interest to the investor. Our exposure to credit risk mainly arises from our lending activities. Market risk is the risk of loss due to changes in external market factors, such as interest rates, asset prices, and foreign exchange rates. Liquidity risk is the risk that financial condition or overall safety and soundness are adversely affected by an inability, or perceived inability, to meet obligations (e.g., current and future cash flow needs) and support business growth. We actively monitor our liquidity position. Strategic risk is the risk from changes in the business environment, ineffective business strategies, improper implementation of decisions or inadequate responsiveness to changes in the business and competitive environment.

Our management is responsible for defining the priorities, initiatives, and resources necessary to execute our strategic plan, the success of which is regularly evaluated by our Board. Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, controls, people (e.g., human error or misconduct) or systems (e.g., technology problems), business continuity or external events (e.g., natural disasters), compliance, reputational, regulatory, or legal matters and includes those risks as they relate directly to us, fraud losses attributed to applications and any associated fines and monetary penalties as a result, transaction processing, or employees, as well as to third parties with whom we contract or otherwise do business. Operational risk is one of the most prevalent forms of risk in our risk profile. We strive to manage operational risk by establishing policies and procedures to accomplish timely and efficient processing, obtaining periodic internal control attestations from management, conducting internal process risk control self-assessments and audit reviews to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls.

In order to be effective, among other things, our enterprise risk management capabilities must adapt and align to support any new product or loan features, capability, strategic development, or external change. Cybersecurity risk is the risk of a malicious technological attack intended to impact the confidentiality, availability, or integrity of our systems and data, including, but not limited to, sensitive client data. Our technology and information security teams rely on a layered system of preventive and detective technologies, practices, and policies to detect, mitigate, and neutralize cybersecurity threats. In

30

addition, our information security team and third-party consultants regularly assesses our cybersecurity risks and mitigation efforts. Cyberattacks can also result in financial and reputational risk.

Reputational risk is the risk arising from possible negative perceptions of us, whether true or not, among our current and prospective members, counterparties, employees, and regulators. The potential for either enhancing or damaging our reputation is inherent in almost all aspects of business activity. We manage this risk through our commitment to a set of core values that emphasize and reward high standards of ethical behavior, maintaining a culture of compliance, and by being responsive to member and regulatory requirements.

Risk is inherent in our business, and therefore, despite our efforts to manage risk, there can be no assurance that we will not sustain unexpected losses. We could incur substantial losses and our business operations could be disrupted to the extent our business model, operational processes, control functions, technological capabilities, risk analyses, and business/product knowledge do not adequately identify and manage potential risks associated with our strategic initiatives. There also may be risks that exist, or that develop in the future, that we have not appropriately anticipated, identified or mitigated, including when processes are changed or new products and services are introduced. If our risk management framework does not effectively identify and control our risks, we could suffer unexpected losses or be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our projections are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. As a result, our projected revenues, market share, expenses and profitability may differ materially from our expectations.

We operate in a rapidly changing and competitive industry and our projections will be subject to the risks and assumptions made by management with respect to our industry. Operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on a number of factors, including the competition we face and our ability to attract and retain bank partners. Additionally, our business may be affected by reductions in consumer borrowing, spending and investing from time to time as a result of a number of factors which may be difficult to predict. This may result in decreased revenue levels, and we may be unable to adopt measures in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in income. This inability could cause our operating results in a given quarter to be higher or lower than expected. These factors make creating accurate forecasts and budgets challenging and, as a result, we may fall materially short of our forecasts and expectations, which could cause the price of our securities to decline and investors to lose confidence in us.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property and Platform Development

It may be difficult and costly to protect our intellectual property rights, and we may not be able to ensure their protection.

Our ability to operate our platform depends, in part, upon our proprietary technology. We may be unable to protect our proprietary technology effectively, which would allow competitors to duplicate our AI models or AI-enabled underwriting platform and adversely affect our ability to compete with them. We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret, trademark laws and other rights, as well as confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and our information security infrastructure to protect our proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property. We do not currently have patent protection on our intellectual property. The steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. For example, a third party may attempt to reverse engineer or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary technology without our consent. The pursuit of a claim against a third party for infringement of our intellectual property could be costly, and there can be no guarantee that any such efforts would be successful. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our brand and adversely impact our business.

Our proprietary technology, including our AI models, may actually or may be alleged to infringe upon third-party intellectual property, and we may face intellectual property challenges from such other parties. We may not be successful in defending against any such challenges or in obtaining licenses to avoid or resolve any intellectual property disputes. If we are unsuccessful, such claim or litigation could result in a requirement that we pay significant damages or licensing fees, or we could in some circumstances be required to make changes to our business to avoid such infringement, which would negatively impact our financial performance. We may also be obligated to indemnify parties or pay substantial settlement costs, including royalty payments, in connection with any such claim or litigation and to modify applications or refund fees, which could be costly. Even if we were to prevail in such a dispute, any litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.

Moreover, it has become common in recent years for individuals and groups to purchase intellectual property assets for the sole purpose of making claims of infringement and attempting to extract settlements from companies such as ours. Even in instances where we believe that claims and allegations of intellectual property infringement against us are without merit,

31

defending against such claims is time consuming and expensive and could result in the diversion of time and attention of our management and employees. In addition, although in some cases a third party may have agreed to indemnify us for such costs, such indemnifying party may refuse or be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. In other cases, our insurance may not cover potential claims of this type adequately or at all, and we may be required to pay monetary damages, which may be significant.

Furthermore, our technology may become obsolete or inadequate, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully develop, obtain or use new technologies to adapt our models and systems to compete with other technologies as they develop. If we cannot protect our proprietary technology from intellectual property challenges, or if our technology becomes obsolete or inadequate, our ability to maintain our model and systems, facilitate loans or perform our servicing obligations on the loans could be adversely affected.

Any significant disruption in our platform could prevent us from processing loan applicants and servicing loans, reduce the effectiveness of our AI models and result in a loss of bank partners or borrowers.

In the event of a system outage or other event resulting in data loss or corruption, our ability to process loan applications, service loans or otherwise facilitate loans on our platform would be adversely affected. We also rely on facilities, components, and services supplied by third parties, including data center facilities and cloud storage services. We host our platform using Amazon Web Services, or AWS, a provider of cloud infrastructure services. In the event that our AWS service agreement is terminated, or there is a lapse of service, interruption of internet service provider connectivity or damage to AWS data centers, we could experience interruptions in access to our platform as well as delays and additional expense in the event we must secure alternative cloud infrastructure services. Any interference or disruption of our technology and underlying infrastructure or our use of third-party services could adversely affect our relationships with our bank partners and the overall user experience of our platform. Also, as our business grows, we may be required to expand and improve the capacity, capability and reliability of our infrastructure. If we are not able to effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and infrastructure to reliably support our business, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Additionally, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses incurred. Our disaster recovery plan has not been tested under actual disaster conditions, and we may not have sufficient capacity to recover all data and services in the event of an outage or other event resulting in data loss or corruption. These factors could prevent us from processing or posting payments on the loans, damage our brand and reputation, divert our employees’ attention, subject us to liability and cause borrowers to abandon our business, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our platform and internal systems rely on software that is highly technical, and if our software contains undetected errors, our business could be adversely affected.

Our platform and internal systems rely on software that is highly technical and complex. In addition, our platform and internal systems depend on the ability of such software to store, retrieve, process and manage high volumes of data. The software on which we rely has contained, and may now or in the future contain, undetected errors or bugs. Some errors may only be discovered after the code has been released for external or internal use. Errors or other design defects within the software on which we rely may result in failure to accurately predict a loan applicant’s creditworthiness, failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, approval of sub-optimally priced loans, incorrectly displayed interest rates to applicants or borrowers, or incorrectly charged interest to borrowers or fees to bank partners or capital sources, failure to detect fraudulent activity on our platform, a negative experience for consumers or bank partners, delayed introductions of new features or enhancements, or failure to protect borrower data or our intellectual property. Any errors, bugs or defects discovered in the software on which we rely could result in harm to our reputation, loss of consumers or bank partners, increased regulatory scrutiny, fines or penalties, loss of revenue or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Some aspects of our business processes include open source software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open source licenses could negatively affect our business.

We incorporate open source software into processes supporting our business. Such open source software may include software covered by licenses like the GNU General Public License and the Apache License. The terms of various open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that limits our use of the software, inhibits certain aspects of our systems and negatively affects our business operations.

32

Some open source licenses contain requirements that we make source code available at no cost for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open source software we use.

We may face claims from third parties claiming ownership of, or demanding the release or license of, such modifications or derivative works (which could include our proprietary source code or AI models) or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. If portions of our proprietary AI models are determined to be subject to an open source license, or if the license terms for the open source software that we incorporate change, we could be required to publicly release the affected portions of our source code, re-engineer all or a portion of our model or change our business activities, any of which could negatively affect our business operations and potentially our intellectual property rights. If we were required to publicly disclose any portion of our proprietary models, it is possible we could lose the benefit of trade secret protection for our models.

In addition to risks related to license requirements, the use of open source software can lead to greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on the origin of the software. Use of open source software may also present additional security risks because the public availability of such software may make it easier for hackers and other third parties to determine how to breach our website and systems that rely on open source software. Many of the risks associated with the use of open source software cannot be eliminated and could adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties

We rely on strategic relationships with loan aggregators to attract applicants to our platform, and if we cannot maintain effective relationships with loan aggregators or successfully replace their services, or if loan aggregators begin offering competing products, our business could be adversely affected.

A significant number of consumers that apply for a loan on Opploans.com learn about and access Opploans.com through the website of a loan aggregator, typically with a hyperlink from such loan aggregator’s website to a landing page on our website. For example, in 2019, 2020 and 2021, approximately 16.5%, 13.5% and 18.5%, respectively, of our net loan issuances were derived from traffic from our top three loan aggregators. Our agreements with these loan aggregators generally provide that either party may terminate the agreement immediately upon a material breach of any provision of the agreement or at any time, with or without cause, by providing advance written notice. Even during the term of the agreements, loan aggregators may not be required to display offers from Opploans.com or prohibited from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. There is also no assurance that our top loan aggregators will continue to contract with us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

While we are planning to move towards more direct acquisition channels, we anticipate that we will continue to depend in significant part on relationships with loan aggregators to maintain and grow our business. Our current agreements with these loan aggregators do not require them to display offers from lenders on Opploans.com nor prohibit them from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. Further, there is no assurance that a loan aggregator will renew its contract with us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to loan aggregators to favor their products or services or in reducing the volume of loans facilitated through our platform. Loan aggregators may not perform as expected under our agreements with them, and we may have disagreements or disputes with them, which could adversely affect our brand and reputation. If we cannot successfully enter into and maintain effective strategic relationships with loan aggregators, our business could be adversely affected.

In addition, the limited information such loan aggregators collect from applicants does not always allow us to offer rates to applicants that we would otherwise be able to through direct applicant traffic to Opploans.com. Typically, the rates offered to borrowers who come to Opploans.com directly are lower and more competitive than those rates offered through aggregators. In the event we do not successfully optimize direct traffic, our ability to attract borrowers would be adversely affected.

Such loan aggregators also face litigation and regulatory scrutiny for their part in the consumer lending ecosystem, and as a result, their business models may require fundamental change or may not be sustainable in the future. For example, loan aggregators are increasingly required to be licensed as loan brokers or lead generators in many states, subjecting them to increased regulatory supervision and more stringent business requirements. While we require loan aggregators to make certain disclosures in connection with our bank partners’ offers and restrict how loan aggregators may display such loan offers, loan aggregators may nevertheless alter or even remove these required disclosures without notifying us, which may result in liability to us. Further, we do not have control over any content on loan aggregator websites, and it is possible that our brand and reputation may be adversely affected by being associated with such content. An unsatisfied borrower could also seek to bring claims against us based on the content presented on a loan aggregator’s website. Such claims could be costly and time consuming to defend and could distract management’s attention from the operation of the business.

Our proprietary models rely in part on the use of loan applicant and borrower data and other third-party data, and if we lose the ability to use such data, or if such data contain inaccuracies, our business could be adversely affected.

We rely on our proprietary models, which are statistical models built using a variety of data-sets. Our models rely on a wide variety of data sources, including data collected from applicants and borrowers, credit bureau data and our credit experience gained through monitoring the payment performance of borrowers over time. Under our agreements with our bank partners, we receive licenses to use data collected from loan applicants and borrowers. If we are unable to access and use data collected from applicants and borrowers, data received from credit bureaus, repayment data collected as part of our loan servicing activities, or other third-party data used in our models, or our access to such data is limited, our ability to accurately evaluate potential borrowers, detect fraud and verify applicant data would be compromised. Any of the foregoing could negatively impact the accuracy of our pricing decisions, the degree of automation in our loan application process and the volume of loans facilitated on our platform.

Third-party data sources on which we rely include the consumer reporting agencies regulated by the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) and other alternative data sources. Such data is electronically obtained from third parties and used in our models to price applicants and in our fraud model to verify the accuracy of applicant-reported information. Data from national credit bureaus and other consumer reporting agencies and other information that we receive from third parties about an applicant or borrower may be inaccurate or may not accurately reflect the applicant or borrower’s creditworthiness for a variety of reasons, including inaccurate reporting by creditors to the credit bureaus, errors, staleness or incompleteness. For example, loan applicants’ credit scores may not reflect such applicants’ actual creditworthiness because the credit scores may be based on outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate consumer reporting data, including, as a consequence of us utilizing credit reports for a specific period of time after issuance before such reports are deemed to be outdated. Similarly, the data taken from an applicant’s credit report may also be based on outdated, incomplete or inaccurate consumer reporting data. Although we use numerous third-party data sources and multiple credit factors within our proprietary models, which helps mitigate this risk, it does not eliminate the risk of an inaccurate individual report.

Further, although we attempt to verify the income, employment and education information provided by certain selected applicants, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of applicant information. Our fraud model relies in part on data we receive from a number of third-party verification vendors, data collected from applicants, and our experience gained through monitoring the performance of borrowers over time. Information provided by borrowers may be incomplete, inaccurate or intentionally false. Applicants may also misrepresent their intentions for the use of loan proceeds. We do not verify or confirm any statements by applicants as to how loan proceeds are to be used after loan funding. If an applicant supplied false, misleading or inaccurate information and our fraud detection processes do not flag the application, repayments on the corresponding loan may be lower, in some cases significantly lower, than expected, leading to losses for the bank partner or investor.

In addition, if third party data used to train and improve our models is inaccurate, or access to such third-party data is limited or becomes unavailable to us, our ability to continue to improve our models would be adversely affected. Any of the foregoing could result in sub-optimally and inefficiently priced loans, incorrect approvals or denials of loans, or higher than expected loan losses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on third-party vendors and if such third parties do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with us, our costs may increase and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our success depends in part on our relationships with third-party vendors. In some cases, third-party vendors are one of a limited number of sources. For example, we rely on national consumer reporting agencies, such as Clarity Services, Inc., a part of Experian, for a large portion of the data used in our AI models. In addition, we rely on third-party verification technologies and services that are critical to our ability to maintain a high level of automation on our platform. In addition, because we are not a bank, we cannot belong to or directly access the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) payment network. As a result, we rely on one or more banks with access to the ACH payment network to process collections on loans facilitated on our platform. See the section titled “Risk Factors—Regulators and payment processors are scrutinizing certain online lenders’ access to the ACH system to disburse and collect loan proceeds and repayments, and any interruption or limitation on our ability to access this critical system would materially adversely affect our business.” Most of our vendor agreements are terminable by either party without penalty and with little notice. If any of our third-party vendors terminates its relationship with us or refuses to renew its agreement with us on commercially reasonable terms, we would need to find an alternate provider, and may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such providers in an acceptable timeframe. We also rely on other software and services supplied by vendors, such as communications, analytics and internal software, and our business may be adversely affected to the extent such software and services do not meet our expectations, contain errors or vulnerabilities, are compromised or experience outages. Any of these risks could increase our costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, any negative publicity related to any of our third-party partners, including any publicity related to quality

34

standards or safety concerns, could adversely affect our reputation and brand, and could potentially lead to increased regulatory or litigation exposure.

We incorporate technology from third parties into our platform. We cannot be certain that our licensors are not infringing the intellectual property rights of others or that the suppliers and licensors have sufficient rights to the technology in all jurisdictions in which we may operate. Some of our license agreements may be terminated by our licensors for convenience. If we are unable to obtain or maintain rights to any of this technology because of intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties against our suppliers and licensors or against us, or if we are unable to continue to obtain the technology or enter into new agreements on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to develop our platform containing that technology could be severely limited and our business could be harmed. Additionally, if we are unable to obtain necessary technology from third parties, we may be forced to acquire or develop alternate technology, which may require significant time and effort and may be of lower quality or performance standards. This would limit and delay our ability to provide new or competitive loan products or service offerings and increase our costs. If alternate technology cannot be obtained or developed, we may not be able to offer certain functionality as part of our platform and service offerings, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure by our third-party vendors or our failure to comply with legal or regulatory requirements or other contractual requirements could have an adverse effect on our business.

We have significant vendors that provide us with a number of services to support our platform. If any third-party vendors fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations or comply with their contractual requirements, including failure to maintain adequate systems addressing privacy and data protection and security, we could be subject to regulatory enforcement actions and suffer economic and reputational harm that could harm our business. Further, we may incur significant costs to resolve any such disruptions in service or failure to provide contracted services, which could adversely affect our business.

The CFPB and each of the prudential bank regulators that supervise our bank partners have issued guidance stating that institutions under their supervision may be held responsible for the actions of the companies with which they contract. As a service provider to those supervised entities, we must ensure we have implemented an adequate vendor management program. We or our bank partners could be adversely impacted to the extent we or our vendors fail to comply with the legal requirements applicable to the particular products or services being offered. Our use of third-party vendors is subject to increasing regulatory attention.

The CFPB and other regulators have also issued regulatory guidance that has focused on the need for financial institutions to perform increased due diligence and ongoing monitoring of third-party vendor relationships, thus increasing the scope of management involvement in connection with using third-party vendors. Moreover, if regulators conclude that we or our bank partners have not met the heightened standards for oversight of our third-party vendors, our bank partners could terminate their relationship with us or we or our bank partners could be subject to enforcement actions, civil monetary penalties, supervisory orders to cease and desist or other remedial actions, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If loans originated by us or loans originated by our bank partners were found to violate the laws of one or more states, whether at origination or after sale of participations rights by the originating bank partner, loans facilitated through our platform may be unenforceable or otherwise impaired, we or other program participants may be subject to, among other things, fines, judgments and penalties, and/or our commercial relationships may suffer, each of which would adversely affect our business and results of operations.

When establishing the interest rates and structures (and the amounts and structures of certain fees constituting interest under federal banking law, such as origination fees, late fees and non-sufficient funds fees) that are charged to borrowers on loans originated on our platform, our bank partners rely on certain authority under federal law to export the interest rate requirements of the state where each bank partner is located to borrowers in other states. Further, certain of our bank partners and capital sources rely on the ability of subsequent holders to continue charging such rate and fee structures and enforce other contractual terms agreed to by our bank partners that are permissible under federal and applicable state banking laws following the acquisition of the loans. The current annual percentage rates of the loans facilitated through our platform for the year ended December 31, 2021 typically range from approximately 30% to 160%. In some states, the interest rates of certain loans facilitated on our platform exceed the maximum interest rate permitted for consumer loans made by non-bank lenders to borrowers residing in, or that have nexus to, such states. In addition, the rate structures for loans facilitated on our platform may not be permissible in all states for non-bank lenders and/or the amount or structures of certain fees charged in connection with loans facilitated on our platform may not be permissible in all states for non-bank lenders.

Usury, fee, and disclosure related claims involving loans facilitated on our platform may be raised in multiple ways. Program participants may face litigation, government enforcement or other challenge, for example, based on claims that bank

35

lenders did not establish loan terms that were permissible in the state they were located or did not correctly identify the home or host state in which they were located for purposes of interest exportation authority under federal law. Alternatively, we or our capital sources may face litigation, government enforcement, or other challenge, for example, based on claims that rates and fees were lawful at origination and through any period during which the originating bank partner retained the loan and interests therein, but that subsequent purchasers were unable to enforce the loan pursuant to its contracted-for terms, or that certain disclosures were not provided at origination because while such disclosures are not required of banks they may be required of non-bank lenders.

In Madden v. Midland Funding, LLC, 786 F.3d 246 (2d Cir. 2015), cert. denied, 136 S.Ct. 2505 (June 27, 2016), for example, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that the non-bank purchaser of defaulted credit card debt could not rely on preemption standards under the National Bank Act applicable to the originator of such debt in defense of usury claims. Madden addressed circumstances under which a defaulted extension of credit under a consumer credit card account was assigned, following default, to a non-bank debt buyer that then attempted to collect the loan and to continue charging interest at the contracted-for rate. The debtor filed a suit claiming, among other claims, that the rate charged by the non-bank collection entity exceeded the usury rates allowable for such entities under New York usury law. Reversing a lower court decision, the Second Circuit held that preemption standards under the National Bank Act applicable to the bank that issued the credit card were not available to the non-bank debt buyer as a defense to usury claims. Following denial of a petition for rehearing by the Second Circuit, the defendant sought review by the United States Supreme Court. Following the United States Supreme Court’s request that the Solicitor General file a brief setting forth the government’s position on whether the Supreme Court should hear the case in 2016, the Solicitor General filed its brief recommending that the petition for a writ of certiorari be denied for certain vehicle suitability reasons, although the Solicitor General’s brief concluded that the Second Circuit’s decision was substantively incorrect as a matter of law. The Supreme Court denied certiorari on June 27, 2016, such that the Second Circuit’s decision remains binding on federal courts in the Second Circuit (which include all federal courts in New York, Connecticut, and Vermont). Upon remand to the District Court for consideration of additional issues, including whether a choice of law provision in the debtor’s credit card agreement was enforceable to displace New York usury law and class certification, the parties settled the matter in 2019.

The scope and validity of the Second Circuit’s Madden decision remain subject to challenge and clarification. For example, the Colorado Administrator of the Colorado Uniform Consumer Credit Code (the “Colorado Administrator”), or the UCCC, reached a settlement with respect to complaints against two online lending platforms whose business includes the use of bank partners and sale of loans to investors. The complaints included, among other claims, allegations, grounded in the Second Circuit’s Madden decision, that the rates and fees for certain loans could not be enforced lawfully by non-bank purchasers of bank-originated loans. Under the settlement, these banks and nonbank partners committed to, among other things, limit the annual percentage rates, or APR, on loans to Colorado consumers to 36% and take other actions to ensure that the banks were in fact the true lenders. The nonbanks also agreed to obtain and maintain a Colorado lending license. In Colorado, this settlement should provide a helpful model for what constitutes an acceptable bank partnership model. However, the settlement may also invite other states to initiate their own actions, and set their own regulatory standards through enforcement.

As noted above, federal prudential regulators have also taken actions to address the Madden decision. On May 29, 2020, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) issued a final rule clarifying that, when a national bank or savings association sells, assigns, or otherwise transfers a loan, interest permissible before the transfer continues to be permissible after the transfer. That rule took effect on August 3, 2020. As discussed further below, the OCC also has issued a rule pertaining to the “true lender” issue. Similarly, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) finalized on June 25, 2020 its 2019 proposal declaring that the interest rate for a loan is determined when the loan is made, and will not be affected by subsequent events. On July 29, 2020, California, New York and Illinois filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to enjoin enforcement of the OCC rule (Case No. 20-CV-5200) and, similarly in the same court, on August 20, 2020, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia sought to enjoin enforcement of the FDIC rule (Case No. 20-CV-5860), in each case related to permissible interest rates post-loan transfer on the grounds that the OCC and FDIC exceeded their authority when promulgating those rules.

There are factual distinctions between our program and the circumstances addressed in the Second Circuit’s Madden decision, as well as the circumstances in the Colorado UCCC settlement and similar cases. As noted above, there are also bases on which the Madden decision’s validity might be subject to challenge or the Madden decision may be addressed by federal regulation or legislation. Nevertheless, there can be no guarantee that a Madden-like claim will not be brought successfully against us or our program participants.

If a borrower or any state agency were to successfully bring a claim against us, our bank partners or our capital sources for a state usury law or fee restriction violation and the rate or fee at issue on the loan was impermissible under applicable state law, we, our bank partners or our capital sources may face various commercial and legal repercussions, including that such parties would not receive the total amount of interest expected, and in some cases, may not receive any interest or principal, may hold loans that are void, voidable, rescindable, or otherwise impaired or may be subject to monetary, injunctive or criminal penalties. Were such repercussions to apply to us, we may suffer direct monetary loss or may be a less attractive candidate for

36

bank partners or capital sources to enter into or renew relationships; and were such repercussions to apply to our bank partners, such parties could be discouraged from using our platform. We may also be subject to payment of damages in situations where we agreed to provide indemnification, as well as fines and penalties assessed by state and federal regulatory agencies. Litigation or enforcement decisions might also affect our decision to continue operating in any particular state.

If loans facilitated through our platform for one or more bank partners were subject to successful challenge that the bank partner was not the “true lender,” such loans may be unenforceable, subject to rescission or otherwise impaired, we or other program participants may be subject to fines, judgments and penalties, and/or our commercial relationships may suffer, each of which would adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Loans facilitated on our platform by our bank partners are originated in reliance on the fact that our bank partners are the “true lenders” for such loans. That true lender status determines various loan program details, including that we do not hold licenses required solely for being the party that extends credit to consumers, and that loans facilitated on our platform by our bank partners may involve interest rates and structures (and certain fees and fees structures) permissible at origination only because the loan terms and lending practices are permissible only when the lender is a bank, and/or the disclosures provided to borrowers would be accurate and compliant only if the lender is a bank. Many state consumer financial regulatory requirements, including usury restrictions (other than the restrictions of the state in which a bank partner originating a particular loan is located) and many licensing requirements and substantive requirements under state consumer credit laws, are treated as inapplicable loans facilitated on our platform by our bank partners based on principles of federal preemption or express exemptions provided in relevant state laws for certain types of financial institutions or loans they originate.

Certain recent litigation and regulatory enforcement has challenged, or is currently challenging, the characterization of bank partners as the “true lender” in connection with programs involving origination and/or servicing relationships between a bank partner and non-bank lending platform or program manager. As noted above, the Colorado Administrator has entered into a settlement agreement with certain banks and nonbanks that addresses this true lender issue. Specifically, the settlement agreement sets forth a safe harbor indicating that a bank is the true lender if certain specific terms and conditions are met. However, other states and consumers could also bring lawsuits based on these types of relationships. For example, in April 2021, the Washington, D.C. Attorney General filed a lawsuit against us for allegedly deceptively marketing high-cost loans with interest rates above the Washington, D.C. usury cap. The usury claim was based on an allegation that we and not our partner bank, FinWise, was the “true lender” of these loans, and we were therefore in violation of the district’s usury laws. FinWise has ceased originating loans in Washington, D.C. and, as a result, we have ceased doing business in Washington, D.C. In November 2021, we entered into a Consent Judgment and Order (the “Settlement”) with the Washington, D.C. Attorney General to resolve all matters in dispute related to this lawsuit. We deny the allegations in the lawsuit and deny that we violated any law or engaged in any deceptive or unfair practices. The lawsuit was resolved to avoid the expense of protracted litigation, which is often expensive, time-consuming, disruptive to our operations, distracting to management and may involve payment of damages. As part of the settlement, we agreed to, among other things, refrain from certain business activities in the District of Columbia, pay $250,000 to the District of Columbia and provide refunds to certain District of Columbia consumers.

We note that the OCC on October 27, 2020, issued a final rule to address the “true lender” issue for lending transactions involving a national bank. For certain purposes related to federal banking law, including the ability of a national bank to “export” interest-related requirements from the state from which they lend, the rule would treat a national bank as the “true lender” if it is named as the lender in the loan agreement or funds the loan. In June 2021, Congress utilized a procedure under the Congressional Review Act to repeal the OCC’s “true lender” rule. Repeal of the “true lender” rule under the Congressional Review Act prevents the OCC from issuing any substantially similar rule unless subsequently authorized by law to do so. The OCC rule did not apply to state-chartered banks and there can be no assurance that the FDIC will issue a similar rule applicable to state-chartered banks. While we do not anticipate any material changes to our business model as a result of the repeal of the OCC’s “true lender” rule because (i) the banks with whom we partner are state chartered, FDIC regulated banks and are the lenders under such loans, and (ii) the repeal of the OCC’s “true lender” rule does not have direct implications on the rules finalized by the OCC and FDIC in 2020 around the continued validity of the “valid when made doctrine,” we cannot be certain that the repeal of such rule, or the restrictions on the OCC implementing a similar rule without statutory approval, will not have a material effect on our business or our industry.

We, our bank partners and similarly situated parties could become subject to challenges like that presented by the Colorado settlement and, if so, we could face penalties and/or loans facilitated on our platform by our bank partners may be void, voidable, or otherwise impaired in a manner that may have adverse effects on our operations (directly, or as a result of adverse impact on our relationships with our bank partners, institutional investors or other commercial counterparties).

There can be no assurance that the Colorado Administrator or other regulators or customers will not make assertions similar to those made in its present actions with respect to the loans facilitated by our platform in the future. It is also possible that other state agencies or regulators could make similar assertions. If a court or a state or federal enforcement agency were to determine that we, rather than our bank partners, are the “true lender” for loans originated on our platform by our bank partners,

37

and if for this reason (or any other reason) the loans were deemed subject to and in violation of certain state consumer finance laws, we could be subject to fines, damages, injunctive relief (including required modification or discontinuation of our business in certain areas) and other penalties or consequences, and the loans could be rendered void or unenforceable in whole or in part, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we are unable to successfully challenge the position of the DFPI that we are subject to the CFL, our bank partners’ ability to originate loans in California could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In February 2022, the DFPI informed us that the commissioner of the DFPI had taken the position that we are the “true lenders” for certain loans (“Program Loans”) originated by our federally-insured state-chartered bank partners serviced through the OppFi technology and service platform pursuant to a contractual arrangement with each such bank (“Program”), and as such we would be subject to the CFL, which would apply an interest rate cap of 36% to certain of the Program Loans. On March 7, 2022, we filed a lawsuit seeking a declaration that the interest rate caps set forth in the CFL do not apply to Program Loans and injunctive relief against the commissioner of the DFPI, preventing the DFPI from enforcing interest rate caps under the CFL against us based on activities related to the Program.

While we believe that Program Loans made through the OppFi platform pursuant to the Program are constitutionally and statutorily exempt from the CFL because the Program Loans are made by state-chartered banks located in Utah and because federal law permits state-chartered banks to export the interest rates allowed in their chartering state to any other state in the country, we cannot assure you that we will prevail in our action against the DFPI or that we will not otherwise be unable to prevent the DFPI from enforcing interest rate caps under the CFL against us. As of December 31, 2021, more than 10% of our finance receivables portfolio was related to loans originated in the State of California, and if we become subject to the CFL interest rate cap of 36%, our bank partners’ ability to originate Program Loans in California could suffer. This could have an adverse effect on our relationships with our bank partners and financing sources, who may choose not to finance our purchase of participation interests in loans originated by our bank partners on our platform in California, and our ability to maintain and grow our finance receivables portfolio, and potentially subject us to fines damages, and other penalties or consequences, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Regulators and payment processors are scrutinizing certain online lenders’ access to the ACH system to disburse and collect loan proceeds and repayments, and any interruption or limitation on our ability to access this critical system would materially adversely affect our business.

When making loans, we typically use the ACH system to deposit loan proceeds into borrowers’ bank accounts. This includes loans originated by our bank partners. These loans also depend on the ACH system to collect amounts due by withdrawing funds from borrowers’ bank accounts when the borrower has provided authorization to do so. ACH transactions are processed by banks, and if these banks cease to provide ACH processing services or are not allowed to do so, we would have to materially alter, or possibly discontinue, some or all of our business if alternative ACH processors or other payment mechanisms are not available.

In the past, heightened regulatory scrutiny by the U.S. Department of Justice, the FDIC and other regulators has caused some banks and ACH payment processors to cease doing business with consumer lenders who are operating legally, without regard to whether those lenders are complying with applicable laws, simply to avoid the risk of heightened scrutiny or even litigation. These actions have reduced the number of banks and payment processors who provide ACH payment processing services and could conceivably make it increasingly difficult to find bank partners and payment processors in the future and/or lead to significantly increased costs for these services. If we are unable to maintain access to needed services on favorable terms, we would have to materially alter, or possibly discontinue, some or all of our business if alternative processors are not available.

If we lost access to the ACH system because our payment processor was unable or unwilling to access the ACH system on our behalf, we would experience a significant reduction in borrower loan payments. Although we would notify borrowers that they would need to make their loan payments via physical check, debit card or other method of payment a large number of borrowers would likely go into default because they are expecting automated payment processing. Similarly, if regulatory changes limited our access to the ACH system or reduced the number of times ACH transactions could be re-presented, we would experience higher losses.

Our offshore service providers involve inherent risks which could result in harm to our business.

We have and may in the future engage outsourcing partners that provide offshore customer-facing activities. These international activities are subject to inherent risks that are beyond our control, including:

38

•risks related to government regulation or required compliance with local laws;

•local licensing and reporting obligations;

•difficulties in developing, staffing and simultaneously managing a number of varying foreign operations as a result of distance, language and cultural differences;

•different, uncertain, overlapping or more stringent local laws and regulations;

•political and economic instability, tensions, security risks and changes in international diplomatic and trade relations;

•state or federal regulations that restrict offshoring of business operational functions or require offshore partners to obtain additional licenses, registrations or permits to perform services on our behalf;

•geopolitical events, including natural disasters, public health issues, epidemics or pandemics, acts of war, and terrorism;

•the impact of, and response of local governments to, the COVID-19 pandemic;

•compliance with applicable U.S. laws and foreign laws related to consumer protection, intellectual property, privacy, data security, corruption, money laundering, and export/trade control;

•misconduct by our outsourcing partners and their employees or even unsubstantiated allegations of misconduct;

•risks due to lack of direct involvement in hiring and retaining personnel; and

•potentially adverse tax developments and consequences.

Violations of the complex foreign and U.S. laws, rules and regulations that apply to our international operations and offshore activities of our service providers may result in heightened regulatory scrutiny, fines, criminal actions or sanctions against us, our directors, our officers or our employees, as well as restrictions on the conduct of our business and reputational damage.

Risks Related to Our Regulatory Environment

Litigation, regulatory actions and compliance issues could subject us to significant fines, penalties, judgments, remediation costs and/or requirements resulting in increased expenses.

In the ordinary course of business, we have been named as a defendant in various legal actions, including class action lawsuits and other litigation. Generally, this litigation arises from the dissatisfaction of a consumer with the products or services offered on our platform. All such legal actions are inherently unpredictable and, regardless of the merits of the claims, litigation is often expensive, time-consuming, disruptive to our operations, and distracting to management. In addition, certain actions may include claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. Our involvement in any such matter also could cause significant harm to our or our bank partners’ reputations and divert management attention from the operation of our business, even if the matters are ultimately determined in our favor. If resolved against us, legal actions could result in significant verdicts and judgments, injunctive relief, equitable relief, and other adverse consequences that may affect our financial condition and how we operate our business, including our decision to continue operating in certain states.

In addition, a number of participants in the consumer financial services industry, ourselves included, have been the subject of putative class action lawsuits, state attorney general actions and other state regulatory actions and federal regulatory enforcement actions, including actions relating to alleged unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices, violations of state licensing and lending laws, including state usury and disclosure laws and allegations of noncompliance with various state and federal laws and regulations relating to originating, servicing and collecting consumer finance loans and other consumer financial services and products. The current regulatory environment increased regulatory compliance efforts and enhanced regulatory enforcement have resulted in us undertaking significant time-consuming and expensive operational and compliance improvement efforts, and in some cases litigation to assert our rights under existing laws, which may delay or preclude our or our bank partners’ ability to provide certain new products and services. There is no assurance that these regulatory matters or other factors will not, in the future, affect how we conduct our business and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business. In particular, legal proceedings brought under state consumer protection statutes or under several of the various federal consumer financial protection statutes may result in a separate fine assessed for each statutory and regulatory violation or substantial damages from class action lawsuits, potentially in excess of the amounts we earned from the underlying activities.

39

Some of our agreements used in the course of our business include arbitration clauses. If our arbitration agreements were to become unenforceable for any reason, we could experience an increase to our consumer litigation costs and exposure to potentially damaging class action lawsuits, with a potential material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We contest our liability and the amount of damages, as appropriate, in each pending matter. The outcome of pending and future matters could be material to our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and could materially adversely affect our business.

In addition, from time to time, through our operational and compliance controls, we identify compliance issues that require us to make operational changes and, depending on the nature of the issue, result in financial remediation to impacted borrowers. These self-identified issues and voluntary remediation payments could be significant, depending on the issue and the number of borrowers impacted, and could generate litigation or regulatory investigations that subject us to additional risk.

We are subject to or facilitate compliance with a variety of federal, state, and local laws, including those related to consumer protection and loan financings, and if we fail to comply with such laws, our business could be adversely affected.

We must comply with regulatory regimes or facilitate compliance with regulatory regimes on behalf of our bank partners that are independently subject to federal and/or state oversight by bank regulators, including those applicable to our referral and marketing services, consumer credit transactions, loan servicing and collection activities and the purchase and sale of whole loans and other related transactions. Certain state laws generally regulate interest rates and other charges and require certain disclosures. In addition, other federal and state laws may apply to the origination, servicing and collection of loans originated on our platform or the purchase and sale of whole loans or participation rights. In particular, certain laws, regulations and rules we or our bank partners are subject to include:

We may not always have been, and may not always be, in compliance with these and other applicable laws, regulations and rules. Compliance with these requirements is also costly, time-consuming and limits our operational flexibility. Even if we believe we are in compliance with applicable laws, regulators may assert that we are not in compliance with such laws, and we have and may in the future be required to seek redress against regulators through legal action or otherwise, which could be costly and time-consuming. Additionally, Congress, the states and regulatory agencies, as well as local municipalities, could further regulate the consumer financial services industry in ways that make it more difficult or costly for us to offer our platform and related services or facilitate the origination of loans for our bank partners. These laws also are often subject to changes that could severely limit the operations of our business model. For example, in July 2021, a bill was reintroduced in the U.S. Senate that would create a national cap of 36% APR on most consumer loans, and 18 states and Washington, D.C. have enacted interest rate caps on certain types of consumer loans. Although the proposed national rate cap may never be enacted into law, if such a bill were to be enacted, it would greatly restrict the number of loans that could be funded through our platform. Further, changes in the regulatory application or judicial interpretation of the laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions also could impact the manner in which we conduct our business. The regulatory environment in which financial institutions operate has become increasingly complex, and following the financial crisis that began in 2008 and the financial distress experienced by many consumers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, supervisory efforts to apply relevant laws, regulations and policies have become more intense. Additionally, states are increasingly introducing and, in some cases, passing laws that restrict interest rates and APRs on loans similar to the loans made on our platform. For example, California enacted legislation to create the DFPI, characterized as a “mini-CFPB,” which has sought to increase its oversight over bank partnership relationships and strengthen state consumer protection authority of state regulators to police debt collections and unfair, deceptive or abusive acts and practices. Additionally, voter referendums have been introduced and, in some cases, passed restrictions on interest rates and/or APRs. If such legislation or bills were to be propagated, or state or federal regulators seek to restrict regulated financial institutions such as our bank partners from engaging in business us in certain ways, our bank partners’ ability to originate loans in certain states could be greatly reduced, and as a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Where applicable, we seek to comply with state broker, credit service organization, small loan, finance lender, servicing, collection, money transmitter and similar statutes. Nevertheless, if we are found to not comply with applicable laws, we could lose one or more of our licenses or authorizations, become subject to greater scrutiny by other state regulatory agencies, face other sanctions or be required to obtain a license in such jurisdiction, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to continue to facilitate loans, perform our servicing obligations or make our platform available to consumers in particular states, which may harm our business. Further, failure to comply with the laws and regulatory requirements applicable to our business and operations may, among other things, limit our ability to collect all or part of the principal of or interest on loans facilitated on our platform. In addition, non-compliance could subject us to damages, revocation of required licenses, class action lawsuits, administrative enforcement actions and civil and criminal liability, all of which would harm our business.

Internet-based loan origination processes may give rise to greater risks than paper-based processes and may not always be allowed under state law.

We use the internet to obtain application information and distribute certain legally required notices to applicants and borrowers, and to obtain electronically signed loan documents in lieu of paper documents with actual borrower signatures. These processes may entail greater risks than would paper-based loan origination processes, including risks regarding the sufficiency of notice for compliance with consumer protection laws, risks that borrowers may challenge the authenticity of loan documents, and risks that despite internal controls, unauthorized changes are made to the electronic loan documents. In addition, our software could contain “bugs” that result in incorrect calculations or disclosures or other non-compliance with federal or state laws or regulations. If any of those factors were to cause any loans, or any of the terms of the loans, to be unenforceable against our borrowers, or impair our ability to service loans, the performance of the underlying promissory notes could be adversely affected.

If we are found to be operating without having obtained necessary state or local licenses, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Certain states have adopted laws regulating and requiring licensing by parties that engage in certain activities regarding consumer finance transactions, including facilitating and assisting such transactions in certain circumstances. Furthermore, certain states and localities have also adopted laws requiring licensing for consumer debt collection or servicing and/or purchasing or selling consumer loans. While we believe we have obtained all necessary licenses, the application of some consumer finance licensing laws to our platform and the related activities we perform is unclear. In addition, state licensing requirements may evolve over time, including, in particular, recent trends toward increased licensing requirements and regulation of parties engaged in loan solicitation activities. States also maintain licensing requirements pertaining to the transmission of money, and certain states may broadly interpret such licensing requirements to cover loan servicing and the transmission of funds to investors. If we were found to be in violation of applicable state licensing requirements by a court or a state, federal, or local enforcement agency, we could be subject to fines, damages, injunctive relief (including required

42

modification or discontinuation of our business in certain areas), criminal penalties and other penalties or consequences, and the loans originated by our bank partners on our platform could be rendered void or unenforceable in whole or in part, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The CFPB has sometimes taken expansive views of its authority to regulate consumer financial services, creating uncertainty as to how the agency’s actions or the actions of any other new agency could impact our business.

The CFPB, which commenced operations in July 2011, has broad authority to create and modify regulations under federal consumer financial protection laws and regulations, such as the Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z, ECOA and Regulation B, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E, among other regulations, and to enforce compliance with those laws. The CFPB supervises banks, thrifts and credit unions with assets over $10 billion and examines certain of our bank partners. Further, the CFPB is charged with the examination and supervision of certain participants in the consumer financial services market, including short-term, small dollar lenders, and larger participants in other areas of financial services. The CFPB is also authorized to prevent “unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices” through its rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement authority. To assist in its enforcement, the CFPB maintains an online complaint system that allows consumers to log complaints with respect to various consumer finance products, including our loan products. This system could inform future CFPB decisions with respect to its regulatory, enforcement or examination focus. The CFPB may also request reports concerning our organization, business conduct, markets and activities and conduct on-site examinations of our business on a periodic basis if the CFPB were to determine or suspect, as a result of information provided through its complaint system, that we were engaging in activities that pose risks to consumers.

Only one online lending platform has ever received a no-action letter from the CFPB with respect to ECOA compliance as it pertains to underwriting applicants for unsecured non-revolving credit, and there continues to be uncertainty about the future of the CFPB and as to how its strategies and priorities, including in both its examination and enforcement processes, will impact our business and our results of operations going forward. In addition, evolving views regarding the use of alternative variables and machine learning in assessing credit risk and/or stated focus of the new Administration and CFPB leadership on fair lending could result in the CFPB taking actions that result in requirements to alter or cease offering affected financial products and services, making them less attractive and restricting our ability to offer them. The CFPB could also implement rules that restrict our effectiveness in servicing our financial products and services.

Although we have committed resources to enhancing our compliance programs, any actions by the CFPB (or other regulators) against us, our bank partners or our competitors could discourage the use of our services or those of our bank partners, which could result in reputational harm, a loss of bank partners, borrowers or capital sources, or discourage the use of our or their services and adversely affect our business. If the CFPB changes regulations or modifies through supervision or enforcement past regulatory guidance or interprets existing regulations in a different or stricter manner than they have been interpreted in the past by us, the industry or other regulators, our compliance costs and litigation exposure could increase materially. This is particularly true with respect to the application of ECOA and Regulation B to credit risk models that rely upon alternative variables and machine learning, an area of law where regulatory guidance is currently uncertain and still evolving, and for which there are not well-established regulatory norms for establishing compliance. If future regulatory or legislative restrictions or prohibitions are imposed that affect our ability to offer certain of our products or that require us to make significant changes to our business practices, and if we are unable to develop compliant alternatives with acceptable returns, these restrictions or prohibitions could have a material adverse effect on our business. If the CFPB, or another regulator, were to issue a consent decree or other similar order against us or our competitors, this could also directly or indirectly affect our results of operations.

We have been in the past and may in the future be subject to federal and state regulatory inquiries regarding our business, which may cause significant harm to our reputation, lead to investigations and enforcement actions from regulatory agencies or litigants, and divert management attention and resources from the operation of our business.

We have, from time to time in the normal course of our business, received, and may in the future receive or be subject to, inquiries or investigations by state and federal regulatory agencies and bodies such as the CFPB, state attorneys general, state financial regulatory agencies, such as the DFPI, and other state or federal agencies or bodies regarding our platform, including the marketing of loans for lenders, underwriting and pricing of consumer loans for our bank partners, our fair lending compliance program and licensing and registration requirements. We have addressed these inquiries directly and engaged in open dialogue with regulators. For example, the CFPB has issued a civil investigative demand, or CID, to us, as a result of a consumer complaint, the stated purpose of which is to determine whether our lending practices violated any consumer financial laws with respect to the Military Lending Act. We have responded to the CFPB to refute the number of affected consumers, and on August 25, 2021, we received notification from the staff of the CFPB that the CFPB had completed its investigation and does not intend to recommend that the CFPB take enforcement action against us.

43

We have also received inquiries from state regulatory agencies regarding requirements to obtain licenses from or register with those states, including in states where we have determined that we are not required to obtain such a license or be registered with the state, and we expect to continue to receive such inquiries. Any such inquiries or investigations could involve substantial time and expense to analyze and respond to, could divert management’s attention and other resources from running our business, has and could in the future lead to public enforcement actions or lawsuits and fines, penalties, injunctive relief, and the need to obtain additional licenses that we do not currently possess. For example, in the case of the inquiry initiated by the DFPI with respect to Program Loans, we have sought declaratory and injunctive relief in response to action by the DFPI, the outcome of which is uncertain at this time. Our involvement in any such matters, whether tangential or otherwise and even if the matters are ultimately determined in our favor, could also cause significant harm to our reputation, lead to additional investigations and enforcement actions from other agencies or litigants, and further divert management attention and resources from the operation of our business. As a result, the outcome of legal and regulatory actions arising out of any state or federal inquiries we receive could be material to our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The collection, processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal data could give rise to liabilities as a result of existing or new governmental regulation, conflicting legal requirements or differing views of personal privacy rights.

We receive, transmit and store a large volume of personally identifiable information and other sensitive data from applicants and borrowers. There are federal, state and foreign laws regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of personally identifiable information and sensitive data. Specifically, cybersecurity and data privacy issues, particularly with respect to personally identifiable information are increasingly subject to legislation and regulations to protect the privacy and security of personal information that is collected, processed and transmitted. For example, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act includes limitations on financial institutions’ disclosure of nonpublic personal information about a consumer to nonaffiliated third parties, in certain circumstances requires financial institutions to limit the use and further disclosure of nonpublic personal information by nonaffiliated third parties to whom they disclose such information and requires financial institutions to disclose certain privacy notices and practices with respect to information sharing with affiliated and unaffiliated entities as well as to safeguard personal borrower information. In addition, the California Consumer Privacy Act, or the CCPA, which went into effect on January 1, 2020, requires, among other things, that covered companies provide disclosures to California consumers and afford such consumers new abilities to opt-out of certain sales or retention of their personal information by us. The CCPA has been amended on multiple occasions and the California attorney general approved final regulations on August 14, 2020. Although the regulations will bring some clarity regarding compliance with the CCPA, aspects of the CCPA and its interpretation remain unclear. We cannot fully predict the impact of the CCPA on our business or operations, but it may require us to further modify our data infrastructure and data processing practices and policies and to incur additional costs and expenses in an effort to continue to comply. In addition, California voters approved Proposition 24 in the November 2020 election to create the California Privacy Rights Act, which amends and purports to strengthen the CCPA and will create a state agency to enforce privacy laws. Additionally, other U.S. states are proposing and enacting laws and regulations that impose obligations similar to the CCPA or that otherwise involve significant obligations and restrictions. Compliance with current and future borrower privacy data protection and information security laws and regulations could result in higher compliance, technical or operating costs. Further, any actual or perceived violations of these laws and regulations may require us to change our business practices, data infrastructure or operational structure, address legal claims and regulatory investigations and proceedings and sustain monetary penalties and/or other harms to our business. We could also be adversely affected if new legislation or regulations are adopted or if existing legislation or regulations are modified such that we are required to alter our systems or change our business practices or privacy policies.

As the regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and machine learning technology evolves, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and machine learning technology is evolving and remains uncertain. It is possible that new laws and regulations will be adopted in the United States, or existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in new ways, that would affect the operation of our platform and the way in which we use artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, including with respect to fair lending laws. Further, the cost to comply with such laws or regulations could be significant and would increase our operating expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are required to register under the Investment Company Act, our ability to conduct business could be materially adversely affected.

The Investment Company Act contains substantive legal requirements that regulate the manner in which “investment companies” are permitted to conduct their business activities. In general, an “investment company” is a company that holds itself out as an investment company or holds more than 40% of the total value of its assets (minus cash and government securities) in “investment securities.” We believe we are not an investment company. We do not hold ourselves out as an

44

investment company. We understand, however, that the loans held on our balance sheet could be viewed by the SEC or its staff as “securities,” which could in turn cause the SEC or its staff to view Opportunity Financial, LLC or an affiliate as an “investment company” subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. We believe that we have never been an investment company because, among other reasons, we are primarily engaged in the business of providing an AI-based lending platform to banks. If we were ever deemed to be in non-compliance with the Investment Company Act, we could also be subject to various penalties, including administrative or judicial proceedings that might result in censure, fine, civil penalties, cease-and-desist orders or other adverse consequences, as well as private rights of action, any of which could materially adversely affect our business.

Anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism financing, anti-corruption and economic sanctions laws could have adverse consequences for us.

We maintain a compliance program designed to enable us to comply with all applicable anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws and regulations, including the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA PATRIOT Act and U.S. economic sanctions laws administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. This program includes policies, procedures, processes and other internal controls designed to identify, monitor, manage and mitigate the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing and engaging in transactions involving sanctioned countries persons and entities. These controls include procedures and processes to detect and report suspicious transactions, perform borrower due diligence, respond to requests from law enforcement, and meet all recordkeeping and reporting requirements related to particular transactions involving currency or monetary instruments. We are also subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery and similar laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, and the U.S. Travel Act, which prohibit companies and their employees and agents from promising, authorizing, making, or offering improper payments or other benefits to government officials and others in the private sector in order to influence official action, direct business to any person, gain any improper advantage, or obtain or retain business. We have implemented an anti-corruption policy to ensure compliance with these anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws. No assurance is given that our programs and controls will be effective to ensure compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing and anti-corruption laws and regulations, and our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject us to significant sanctions, fines, penalties, contractual liability to our bank partners or institutional investors, and reputational harm, all of which could harm our business.

Risks Related to Loan Funding and Indebtedness

Our warehouse facilities expose us to certain risks, and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to access the whole loan sales markets, or secured warehouse credit facilities, in the future, which may require us to seek more costly financing.

We have funded, and may in the future fund, certain loans on our balance sheet and our purchase of participation rights in loans originated by our bank partners by selling such loans or participation interests to warehouse special purpose entities, or SPEs, which loan and participation rights sales are partially financed with associated warehouse credit facilities from financial institutions. Concurrently, the SPE borrows money from financial institutions pursuant to credit and security agreements. The lines of credit borrowed by the SPEs are each secured by the pool of loans and participation rights owned by the applicable SPE.

During periods of financial disruption, such as the financial crisis that began in 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic that began in early 2020, the credit market constrained, and this could continue or occur again in the future. In addition, other matters, such as (i) accounting standards applicable to the foregoing transactions and (ii) capital and leverage requirements applicable to banks and other regulated financial institutions, could result in decreased investor demand, or increased competition from other institutions that undertake similar transactions. In addition, compliance with certain regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Act, the Investment Company Act and the so-called “Volcker Rule,” may affect the type of transactions that we are able to complete.

If it is not possible or economical for us to engage in whole loan or participation rights sales in the future, we would need to seek alternative financing to support our loan funding programs and to meet our existing debt obligations. Such funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If the cost of such loan funding mechanisms were to be higher than that of our whole loan and participation right sales, the fair value of the loans and participation rights would likely be reduced, which would negatively impact our results of operations. If we are unable to access such financing, our ability to originate loans and acquire participation rights in loans originated by our bank partners and our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity would be materially adversely affected.

If we are unable to maintain diverse and robust sources of capital, our growth prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

45

Our business depends on maintaining diverse and robust sources of capital to originate loans facilitated on our platform in certain states and to acquire participation rights in loans that our bank partners originate using our platform. We currently have committed financing agreements with two non-banks lenders and one commercial bank. We cannot be sure that these funding sources will continue to be available on reasonable terms or at all beyond the current maturity dates of our existing credit facilities. See the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information.

Events of default or breaches of financial, performance or other covenants, or worse than expected performance of certain pools of loans underpinning our credit facilities, could reduce or terminate our access to funding from such facilities. Loan performance is dependent on a number of factors, including the predictiveness of our AI models and social and economic conditions. The availability and capacity of sources of capital also depends on many factors that are outside of our control, such as credit market volatility and regulatory reforms. In the event that we do not maintain adequate sources of capital, we may not be able to maintain the necessary levels of funding to retain current loan volume, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In connection with our credit facilities, we make representations and warranties concerning the loans or participation rights sold, and if such representations and warranties are not accurate when made, we could be required to repurchase such loans or participation rights.

Under our credit facilities we make numerous representations and warranties concerning the characteristics of the loans facilitated on our platform, or participation rights with respect thereto, sold and transferred in connection with such transactions, including representations and warranties that the loans meet the eligibility requirements of those facilities. If those representations and warranties were not accurate when made, we may be required to repurchase the underlying loans or participation rights. Failure to repurchase so-called ineligible receivables when required could constitute an event of default or termination event under our credit facilities. Historically, we have not had to repurchase loans or participations rights as a result of inaccurate representations or warranties related to loans facilitated on our platform. While only a small number of loans or participation rights have been historically repurchased by us, there can be no assurance that we would have adequate cash or other qualifying assets available to make such repurchases if and when required. Such repurchases could be limited in scope, relating to small pools of loans or participation rights, or significant in scope, across multiple pools of loans or participation rights. If we were required to make such repurchases and if we do not have adequate liquidity to fund such repurchases, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We rely on borrowings under our corporate and warehouse credit facilities to fund certain aspects of our operations, and any inability to meet our obligations as they come due or to comply with various covenants could harm our business.

Our corporate credit facilities consist of term loans and revolving loan facilities that we have drawn on to finance our operations and for other corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $253 million outstanding principal under these term loans and revolving credit facilities. These borrowings are generally secured by all the assets of the company that have not otherwise been sold or pledged to secure our structured finance facilities, such as assets belonging to our SPEs. These credit agreements contain operating and financial covenants, including customary limitations on the incurrence of certain indebtedness and liens, restrictions on certain transactions and limitations on distributions and stock repurchases. We have in the past, and may in the future, fail to comply with certain operating or financial covenants in our credit agreements, requiring a waiver from our lenders. Our ability to comply with or renegotiate these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, and breaches of these covenants could result in a default under such agreements and any future financial agreements into which we may enter. If we were to default on our credit obligations and such defaults were not waived, our lenders may require repayment of any outstanding debt and terminate their agreements with us.

In addition, we, through our SPEs, have entered into warehouse credit facilities to partially finance the origination of loans by us on our platform or the purchase of participation rights in loans originated by our bank partners through our platform, which credit facilities are secured by the loans or participation rights. We generally hold these loans or participation rights on our balance sheet until we can liquidate them. As of December 31, 2021, outstanding borrowings under these warehouse credit facilities were $203 million. See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information about our term loans and revolving loan facilities.

Our warehouse credit facilities impose operating and financial covenants on the SPEs, and under certain events of default, the lenders could require that all outstanding borrowings become immediately due and payable or terminate their agreements with us. We have in the past, and may in the future, fail to comply with certain operating or financial covenants in our credit facilities, requiring waivers from our lenders. If we are unable to repay our obligations at maturity or in the event of default, the borrowing SPEs may have to liquidate the loans or participation rights held as collateral at an inopportune time or price or, if

46

the lender liquidated the loans or participation rights, the SPE, and in certain situations we, would have to pay any amount by which the original purchase price exceeded their sale price. An event of default would negatively impact our ability to originate loans on our platform and purchase participation rights in loans originated by our bank partners on our platform and require us to rely on alternative funding sources, which might increase our costs or which might not be available when needed. If we were unable to arrange new or alternative methods of financing on favorable terms, we might have to curtail our lending programs, which could have an adverse effect on our and our bank partners’ ability or willingness to originate new loans, which in turn would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Some of our borrowings carry a floating rate of interest linked to the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, or the FCA, announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the FCA and the submitting LIBOR banks have indicated they will support the LIBOR indices through 2021 to allow for an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate. However, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), in its capacity as administrator of USD LIBOR, announced that it extended publication of U.S. Dollar LIBOR (other than one-week and two-month tenors) by 18 months to June 2023. Notwithstanding this extension, a joint statement by key regulatory authorities calls on banks to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. Dollar LIBOR as a reference rate by no later than December 31, 2021, and there remains uncertainty as to the form in which any replacement of LIBOR will eventually take. The interest rate of borrowings under our credit facilities are predominately based upon LIBOR. While these agreements generally include alternative rates to LIBOR, if a change in indices results in interest rate increases on our debt, debt service requirements will increase, which could adversely affect our cash flow and results of operations. We do not expect a materially adverse change to our financial condition or liquidity as a result of any such changes or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United States, the United Kingdom or elsewhere.

Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our performance.

Our results of operations depend to a great extent on our net interest and loan related income, which is related to the difference between the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and investment securities, and the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as borrowings under our credit facilities. We are exposed to interest rate risk because our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities do not react uniformly or concurrently to changes in interest rates. The interest rates of borrowings under some of our credit facilities are based on floating interest rates and are sensitive to factors that are beyond our control, including domestic and international economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve, implemented through open market operations, the federal funds rate targets, the discount rate for banking borrowings and reserve requirements, affect prevailing interest rates. A material change in any of these policies could affect the cost of borrowings under our credit facilities which in turn could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may need to raise additional funds in the future, including through equity, debt or convertible debt financings, to support business growth and those funds may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new loan products, enhance our AI models, improve our operating infrastructure, or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity, debt or convertible debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, the combined company’s stockholders may experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt. Any debt or additional equity financing that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders.

If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, we may be unable to pursue certain business opportunities and our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be impaired and our business may be harmed.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Securities

Having a minority share position may reduce the influence of stockholders on the management of the Company.

At December 31, 2021, (i) the Company’s public stockholders owned approximately 12.4% of the Company’s Common Stock and the Members owned approximately 87.6% of the Company’s Common Stock. The ownership percentage does not take into account (i) the Warrants; (ii) the issuance of any shares under the OppFi Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan or the OppFi Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan; or (iii) any shares of Class A Common Stock that may be repurchased pursuant to the

47

Repurchase Program (as defined below). To the extent that any shares of Class A Common Stock are issued upon exercise of the Warrants or the incentive plans, current stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and to the extent any shares of Class A Common Stock are repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program, the relative ownership interest of the Members will increase. This dilution, or increase in the relative ownership interest of the Members could, among other things, further limit the ability of our current stockholders to influence management of our company.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the NYSE.

Our Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants are currently listed on the NYSE. If the NYSE delists our Class A Common Stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant adverse consequences including:

• a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

• reduced liquidity for our securities;

• a determination that our Class A Common Stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our     Class A Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

• decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants are listed on the NYSE, they are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state, other than the state of Idaho, having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on the NYSE, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities, including in connection with our initial business combination.

The future sales of shares of Class A Common Stock, including the sales of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this prospectus, may adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

In connection with the Closing, the consideration paid to the Members was valued in the aggregate at approximately $806,517,000, of which approximately $714,870,950 was in the form of 96,987,093 shares of Class V Voting Stock, or approximately $7.37 per share of Class V Voting Stock, which will be forfeited upon the exercise of Exchange Rights by the Members. All of the Retained OppFi Units (other than the Earnout Units, which may not be exchanged until such later date the Earnout Units are earned in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement) held by the Members may be exchanged, upon the exercise of such Members’ Exchange Rights, for either one share of Class A Common Stock or, at the election of the Company in its capacity as the sole manager of OppFi-LLC, the cash equivalent of the market value of one share of Class A Common Stock, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the OppFi A&R LLCA. Assuming the full exercise of the Exchange Rights by all of the Members, the Members will own 87.8% of our Class A Common Stock.

Additionally, on July 13, 2020, the Sponsor paid $30,000 to cover certain of FGNA’s offering costs in exchange for 6,468,750 Founder Shares, or approximately $0.005 per share. On August 7, 2020, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 1,250,000 Founder Shares to members of FGNA’s management and board of directors, resulting in the Sponsor holding 5,218,750 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 843,750 shares subject to forfeiture by the sponsor to the extent the Underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part. In connection with the partial exercise of the over-allotment option by the Underwriters, the Sponsor forfeited 525,000 Founder Shares on October 14, 2020, resulting in an aggregate of 5,943,750 Founder Shares outstanding, which are subject to lock-up restrictions for up to 12 months (or 24 months for shares held by Joseph Moglia).

Also, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, FGNA issued an aggregate of 118,875 Underwriter Units to the Underwriters as additional consideration paid in kind to the Underwriters’ for services pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

48

Except with respect to the restrictions described above, the Members the Founder Holders and the Underwriters and each of their respective transferee will not be restricted from selling the shares of Class A Common Stock held, or that may become held following the exercise of Exchange Rights, other than by applicable securities laws.

Additionally, as a result of the disparity of the prices (even factoring in the price paid by the Sponsor for the securities already distributed) compared with the market prices of our Class A Common Stock and Warrants, the Founder Holders, the Underwriters and their permitted transferees are likely to earn a positive return on their investments even if other holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, including our public stockholders, experience a negative return on their investment in the Company’s securities. As a result, certain of the Selling Securityholders may be incentivized to sell its securities when others are not. Our Class A Common Stock has a relatively small public float. As a result, sales of substantial amounts of shares of our Class A Common Stock, or even the potential for such sales, may materially and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A Common Stock. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could cause the market price of our securities to decline or increase the volatility in the market price of our securities.

The amount and frequency of our share repurchases may fluctuate, and we cannot guarantee that we will fully consummate our share repurchase authorization, or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our stock and will diminish our cash reserves.

In January 2022, we announced a program to repurchase up to $20.0 million in the aggregate of shares of Class A Common Stock (“Repurchase Program”), of which 282,334 shares of Class A Common Stock have been repurchased by the Company as of the date of this prospectus. The timing and amount of the repurchases will depend on market conditions and other requirements. The Repurchase Program does not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and the Repurchase Program may be extended, modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. For each share of Class A Common Stock that we repurchase under the Repurchase Program, OppFi-LLC will redeem one OppFi Unit held by the Company, decreasing the percentage ownership of OppFi-LLC by the Company and relatively increasing the ownership by the Members. The Repurchase Program will expire in December 2023.

We cannot guarantee that any Class A Common Stock will be repurchased under the Repurchase Program or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The Repurchase Program could affect the trading price of our securities and increase volatility, and any announcement of a pause in, or termination of, this program may result in a decrease in the trading price of our securities. In addition, this program could diminish our cash reserves.

The exercise price for our public warrants is higher than in many similar blank check company offerings in the past, and, accordingly, the public warrants are more likely to expire worthless.

The exercise price of our public warrants is higher than is typical with many similar blank check companies in the past. Historically, with regard to units offered by blank check companies, the exercise price of a public warrant was generally a fraction of the purchase price of the units in the initial public offering. The exercise price for our Warrants which were offered by FGNA in the IPO (other than the $15 Exercise Price Warrants) is $11.50 per share of Class A Common Stock, and the exercise price of the $15 Exercise Price Warrants is $15.00 per share of Class A Common Stock. There is no guarantee that the Warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the Warrants may expire worthless. We do not believe it is likely that a warrant holder would elect to exercise its warrants when our common stock is trading below $11.50 (or $15 for the $15 Exercise Price Warrants) and any cash proceeds that would be received by us are dependent on the trading price of the common stock underlying the warrants. We do not believe that the warrant holders’ failure to exercise warrants for cash would have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Our only significant asset is our ownership interest in OppFi-LLC and the ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on our Class A Common Stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.

We have no direct operations and no significant assets other than our ownership interest in OppFi-LLC. We depend on OppFi-LLC for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including our expenses as a publicly traded company and to pay any dividends with respect to our Class A Common Stock. The financial condition and operating requirements of OppFi-LLC may limit our ability to obtain cash from OppFi-LLC. The earnings from, or other available assets of, OppFi-LLC may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on our Class A Common Stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.

We may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations and our stock price.

49

As a result of factors beyond our control, we may be forced to write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities.

The historical financial results of OppFi-LLC included in this prospectus may not be indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The historical financial results of OppFi-LLC included in this prospectus that include periods prior to the Business Combination do not necessarily reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows we would have achieved as a combined company during the periods presented or those that we will achieve in the future. This is primarily the result of the following factors: (i) we have incurred additional ongoing costs as a result of the Business Combination, including costs related to public company reporting, investor relations and other compliance related costs; and (ii) our capital structure is also different from that reflected in OppFi-LLC’s historical financial statements. Our financial condition and future results of operations could be materially different from amounts reflected in its historical financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, so it may be difficult for investors to compare our future results to historical results or to evaluate our relative performance or trends in our business.

Our Certificate of Incorporation (“Charter”) includes a forum selection clause, which could discourage claims or limit stockholders’ ability to make a claim against us, our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders.

The Charter includes a forum selection clause. The charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring any: (i) derivative action or proceeding; (ii) action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders; (iii) action asserting a claim against us, our directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the charter or bylaws; or (iv) action asserting a claim against us, our directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following the determination), (B) that is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act as to which the Court of Chancery and the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction. Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act. Under the Securities Act, federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act, and stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a forum selection provision as written in connection with claims arising under the Securities Act. This forum selection clause may also discourage claims or limit stockholders’ ability to submit claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable and may result in additional costs for a stockholder seeking to bring a claim. While we believe the risk of a court declining to enforce this forum selection clause is low, if a court were to determine the forum selection clause to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs in conjunction with our efforts to resolve the dispute in an alternative jurisdiction, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the forum selection clause will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum.

Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We will be subject to income taxes in the United States, and our domestic tax liabilities will be subject to the allocation of expenses in differing jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

• changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;

• expected timing and amount of the release of any tax valuation allowances;

• tax effects of stock-based compensation;

• costs related to intercompany restructurings;

50

• changes in tax laws, regulations or interpretations thereof; and

• lower than anticipated future earnings in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated future earnings in jurisdictions where we have higher statutory tax rates.

In addition, we may be subject to audits of our income, sales and other transaction taxes by U.S. federal and state authorities. Outcomes from these audits could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

A market for our securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.

The price of our securities may fluctuate. An active trading market for our securities may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In addition, the price of our securities can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports. Additionally, if our securities become delisted from the NYSE for any reason, and are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited.

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of our securities may decline.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities may decline. In such case, fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there was not a public market for our securities and trading in the shares of our Class A Common Stock may not become active. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to OppFi-LLC and our Class A Common Stock in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market in the future. If an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of our securities could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could adversely effect on your investment in our securities and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In these circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of our securities may include:

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;

•changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results;

•the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;

•speculation in the press or investment community;

•success of competitors;

•our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning the post-combination company or the market in general;

•operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the post-combination company;

•our ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;

•changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

•commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the post-combination company;

•changes in the post-combination company’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•the volume of shares of our Class A Common Stock available for public sale;

•any major change in our Board or management;

51

•sales of substantial amounts of Class A Common Stock by our directors, officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general and the NYSE have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources and could also require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly and could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors due to seasonality and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, resulting in a decline in our stock price.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly because of several factors, including:

•profitability of our products, especially in new markets and due to seasonal fluctuations;

•changes in interest rates;

•impairment of assets;

•macroeconomic conditions, both nationally and locally;

•negative publicity relating to our products;

•changes in consumer preferences and competitive conditions; and

•expansion to new markets.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our Class A Common Stock adversely, then the price and trading volume of our securities could decline.

The trading market for our securities will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our securities would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

We may be unable to obtain additional financing to fund our operations and growth.

We may require additional financing to fund our operations or growth. We cannot assure you that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. The failure to secure additional financing could adversely affect our continued development or growth. None of our officers, directors or stockholders are required to provide any financing to us.

Changes in laws, regulations or rules, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations or rules, may adversely affect our business.

We are subject to laws, regulations and rules enacted by national, regional and local governments and the NYSE. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC, NYSE and other legal or regulatory requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws, regulations and rules may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws, regulations or rules and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could adversely affect our

52

business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or rules, as interpreted and applied, could adversely affect our business.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of NYSE rules and, as a result, are exempt from certain corporate governance requirements.

So long as the SCG Holders and their affiliates maintain holdings of more than 50% of the voting power of our capital stock, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards. Under these standards, a company need not comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that:

•a majority of our board of directors consist of “independent directors” as defined under NYSE rules;

•we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities;

•we have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, or otherwise have director nominees selected by vote of a majority of the independent directors; and

•an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees be conducted.

We have relied on certain of these exemptions. As a result, our board of directors would not be required to consist of a majority of independent directors, and our compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee would not consist entirely of independent directors and will not be subject to annual performance evaluations. If we are no longer eligible to rely on the controlled company exception, we will comply with all applicable NYSE corporate governance requirements, but we will be able to rely on phase-in periods for certain of these requirements in accordance with NYSE rules. Accordingly, our stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements.

The SCG Holders and their affiliates will have significant influence or control and their interests may conflict with those of other stockholders.

The SCG Holders and their affiliates collectively hold 87.6% of total voting power of all outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class. Additionally, the Company has entered into the Investor Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the SCG Holders’ Representative has the right to nominate five directors to the Board.

The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that at each meeting at which directors are to be elected, the Company shall take such necessary action to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors (i) five directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 50% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (ii) four directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 40% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (iii) three directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 30% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (iv) three directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 30% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (v) two directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 20% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors and (vi) one director chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 5% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors.

As such, the SCG Holders and their affiliates will have significant influence over the election of the members of our Board and thereby may significantly influence our policies and operations, including the appointment of management, future issuances of our Class A Common Stock or other securities, the payment of dividends, if any, the incurrence or modification of debt, amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and the entering into of extraordinary transactions, and the SCG Holders’ interests may not in all cases be aligned with those of other stockholders.

In the event of a conflict between our interests and the interests of the SCG Holders and their affiliates, we have adopted policies and procedures, specifically a Code of Ethics and a Related Party Transactions Policy, to identify, review, consider and approve such conflicts of interest. In general, if an affiliate of a director, executive officer or significant stockholder, including the SCG Holders and their affiliates, intends to engage in a transaction involving us, that director, executive officer or significant stockholder must report the transaction for consideration and approval by our audit committee. However, there are no assurances that our efforts and policies to eliminate the potential impacts of conflicts of interest will be effective.

53

We may amend the terms of the Warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of Public Warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your Warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

Our Warrants have been issued under a Warrant Agreement between the Warrant Agent and us. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the Public Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the Public Warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the Warrants, convert the Warrants into cash or stock (at a ratio different than initially provided), shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant.

We may redeem unexpired Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your Public Warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of our Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of redemption and provided certain other conditions are met. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect registration or qualification. We will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares of Class A Common Stock under the blue-sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the Public Warrants were offered by us in the IPO. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force you to (i) exercise your Public Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) sell your Public Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Public Warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your Public Warrants. None of the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, or the Underwriters and their permitted transferees, respectively.

Warrants are exercisable for our Class A Common Stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

We have outstanding (i) Public Warrants to purchase 11,887,500 shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) Private Placement Unit Warrants to purchase 231,250 shares of Class A Common Stock, (iii) Underwriter Warrants to purchase 59,464 shares of Class A Common Stock, (iv) Founder Warrants to purchase 2,248,750 shares of Class A Common Stock, and (v) $15 Exercise Price Warrants to purchase 912,500 shares of Class A Common Stock. The shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of our Warrants will result in dilution to the then existing holders of Class A Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of shares Class A Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Charter and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

The Charter contains provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions provide, among other things, that the Company shall not engage in any business combination (as such term is defined in the Charter), at any point in time at which the Class A Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, with any interested stockholder (which, as defined in the Charter, shall not include SCG or any of its affiliates, or any person that acquires (other than in a registered public offering) directly from SCG or any of its successors, any “group”, or any member of any such group, to which such persons are a party under Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act, beneficial ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the then outstanding voting stock of the Company) for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (i) prior to such time, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; or (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the Company outstanding at the time the transaction

54

commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (A) persons who are directors and also officers of the Company and (B) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; (iii) at or subsequent to such time, the applicable business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company that is not owned by the interested stockholder; or (iv) the stockholder became an interested stockholder inadvertently and (A) as soon as practicable divested itself of ownership of sufficient shares so that the stockholder ceased to be an interested stockholder and (B) was not, at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to a business combination between the Company and such stockholder, an interested stockholder but for the inadvertent acquisition of ownership, which provision of the Charter may only be amended by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of all then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company.

Together these provisions may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities. These provisions are described in the Section titled “Description of Securities—Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and the Company’s Charter and Amended and Restated Bylaws.”

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor internal controls attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Class A Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

Our only principal asset is our interest in OppFi-LLC, and accordingly we depend on distributions from OppFi-LLC to pay distributions, taxes, other expenses, and make any payments required to be made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

55

We are a holding company and have no material assets other than our ownership of the OppFi Units. We are not expected to have independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and our ability to pay our taxes, operating expenses, and pay any dividends in the future, if any, will be dependent upon the financial results and cash flows of OppFi-LLC. There can be no assurance that OppFi-LLC will generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to us or that applicable state law and contractual restrictions, including negative covenants under debt instruments, will permit such distributions. If OppFi-LLC does not distribute sufficient funds to us to pay our taxes or other liabilities, we may default on contractual obligations or have to borrow additional funds. In the event that we are required to borrow additional funds it could adversely affect our liquidity and subject us to additional restrictions imposed by lenders.

OppFi-LLC will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as such, generally will not be subject to any entity-level U.S. federal income tax. Instead, taxable income will be allocated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the holders of OppFi Units. Accordingly, we are required to pay U.S. federal income taxes on our allocable share of the net taxable income of OppFi-LLC. Under the terms of the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA, OppFi-LLC is obligated to make tax distributions to holders of OppFi Units (including us) calculated at certain assumed rates. In addition to tax expenses, we will also incur expenses related to our operations, including our payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which could be significant and some of which will be reimbursed by OppFi-LLC (excluding payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement). We intend to cause OppFi-LLC to make ordinary distributions and tax distributions to the holders of OppFi Units on a pro rata basis in amounts sufficient to cover all applicable taxes, relevant operating expenses, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and dividends, if any, declared by us. However, as discussed below, OppFi-LLC’s ability to make such distributions may be subject to various limitations and restrictions, including, but not limited to, retention of amounts necessary to satisfy the obligations of OppFi-LLC and its subsidiaries and restrictions on distributions that would violate any applicable restrictions contained in OppFi-LLC’s debt agreements, or any applicable law, or that would have the effect of rendering OppFi-LLC insolvent. To the extent we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid, provided, however, that nonpayment for a specified period and/or under certain circumstances may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore accelerate payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which could be substantial.

Additionally, although OppFi-LLC generally will not be subject to any entity-level U.S. federal income tax, it may be liable under certain federal income tax legislation for adjustments to its tax return, absent an election to the contrary. In the event OppFi-LLC’s calculations of taxable income are incorrect, OppFi-LLC and/or its members, including us, in later years may be subject to material liabilities pursuant to this federal income tax legislation and its related guidance.

We anticipate that the distributions we receive from OppFi-LLC may, in certain periods, exceed our actual liabilities and our obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Board, in its sole discretion (and in compliance with our credit facilities), will make any determination from time to time with respect to the use of any such excess cash so accumulated, which may include, among other uses, to pay dividends on our Class A Common Stock. We will have no obligation to distribute such cash (or other available cash other than any declared dividend) to our stockholders. We may, if necessary, undertake ameliorative actions, which may include pro rata or non-pro rata reclassifications, combinations, subdivisions or adjustments of outstanding OppFi Units, to maintain one-for-one parity between OppFi Units held by us and shares of our Class A Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we are required to pay to the Members and/or the exchanging holders of Retained OppFi Units, as applicable, 90% of the net income tax savings that we realize as a result of increases in tax basis in our assets related to the Business Combination and the future exchange of the Retained OppFi Units for shares of Class A Common Stock (or cash) pursuant to the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA and tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and those payments may be substantial.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Members were deemed for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes to have sold to us OppFi Units and may in the future exchange their OppFi Units, together with the cancelation of an equal number of shares of Class V Voting Stock, for shares of our Class A Common Stock (or cash) pursuant to the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA, subject to certain conditions and transfer restrictions as set forth therein and in the Investor Rights Agreement. These sales and exchanges are expected to result in increases in our allocable share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of OppFi-LLC. These increases in tax basis may increase (for income tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions allocable to us and therefore reduce the amount of income or franchise tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future had such sales and exchanges never occurred.

We have entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement, which generally provides for the payment by us of 90% of certain net tax benefits, if any, that we realize (or in certain cases are deemed to realize) as a result of these increases in tax basis and tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock (or cash) pursuant to the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA and tax benefits related to entering

56

into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These payments are our obligation and not of OppFi-LLC. The actual increase in our allocable share of OppFi-LLC’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of the Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange and the amount and timing of the recognition of our income. While many of the factors that will determine the amount of payments that we will make under the Tax Receivable Agreement are outside of our control, we expect that the payments we will make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Any payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us. To the extent that we are unable to make timely payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid; however, nonpayment for a specified period and/or under certain circumstances may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement, as further described below. Furthermore, our future obligation to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could make us a less attractive target for an acquisition, particularly in the case of an acquirer that cannot use some or all of the tax benefits that may be deemed realized under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Increases in our income tax rates, changes in income tax laws or disagreements with tax authorities can adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Increases in our income tax rates or other changes in income tax laws in the United States or any particular jurisdiction in which we operate could reduce our after-tax income from such jurisdiction and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Existing tax laws in the United States have been and could in the future be subject to significant change. For example, in December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was signed into law in the United States which provided for significant changes to then-existing tax laws and subsequent legislation (such as the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act in March 2020) modifying certain TCJA provisions and additional guidance issued by the IRS pursuant to the TCJA may continue to impact us in future periods. Additional changes in the U.S. tax regime, including changes in how existing tax laws are interpreted or enforced, can adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We will also be subject to regular reviews, examinations and audits by the IRS and other taxing authorities with respect to income and non-income-based taxes. Economic and political pressures to increase tax revenues in jurisdictions in which we operate, or the adoption of new or reformed tax legislation or regulation, may make resolving tax disputes more difficult and the final resolution of tax audits and any related litigation can differ from our historical provisions and accruals, resulting in an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Tax Risks Related to Our Tax Structure and Taxes

Although we may be entitled to tax benefits relating to additional tax depreciation or amortization deductions as a result of the tax basis step-up we receive in connection with the exchanges of Retained OppFi Units into our Class A Common Stock and related transactions, we are required to pay the Members 90% of these tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Except with respect to the Earnout Units, which may not be exchanged until such later date the Earnout Units are earned in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, each Retained OppFi Unit held by the Members may be exchanged, upon the exercise of such Members’ Exchange Rights, for either one share of Class A Common Stock or, at the election of the Company in its capacity as the sole manager of OppFi-LLC, the cash equivalent of the market value of one share of Class A Common Stock, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA. The deemed exchanges in the business combination and any exchanges pursuant to the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA, are expected to result in increases in our allocable share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of OppFi-LLC. These increases in tax basis may increase (for tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions and therefore reduce the amount of income or franchise tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any applicable foreign, state or local tax authority may challenge all or part of that tax basis increase, and a court could sustain such a challenge.

At the Closing, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement, which generally provides for the payment by us to holders of Retained OppFi Units of 90% of certain tax benefits, if any, that we realize as a result of these increases in tax basis and of certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including income or franchise tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These payment obligations pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement are the obligation of the Company and not of OppFi-LLC. The actual increase in our allocable share of OppFi-LLC’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement,

57

will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of shares of our Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of our income. Because none of the foregoing factors are known at this time, we cannot determine the amounts (if any) that would be payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, we expect that as a result of the possible size and frequency of the exchanges and the resulting increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of OppFi-LLC, the payments that we expect to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned upon continued ownership of the Company by the holders of units. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Related Party Transactions in Connection with the Business Combination—Tax Receivable Agreement.”

The Members will not be required to reimburse us for any excess payments that may previously have been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, for example, due to adjustments resulting from examinations by taxing authorities. Rather, excess payments made to such holders will be netted against payments otherwise to be made, if any, after the determination of such excess. As a result, in certain circumstances we could make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of our actual income or franchise tax savings, which could materially impair our financial condition.

In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated or significantly exceed the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that we determine, and the IRS or another taxing authority may challenge all or any part of the tax basis increases, as well as other tax positions that we take, and a court may sustain such a challenge. In the event that any tax benefits initially claimed by us are disallowed, the Members and the exchanging holders will not be required to reimburse us for any excess payments that may previously have been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, for example, due to adjustments resulting from examinations by the IRS or other taxing authorities. Rather, excess payments made to such holders will be applied against and reduce any future cash payments otherwise required to be made by us, if any, after the determination of such excess. However, a challenge to any tax benefits initially claimed by us may not arise for a number of years following the initial time of such payment and, even if challenged earlier, such excess cash payment may be greater than the amount of future cash payments that we might otherwise be required to make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement and, as a result, there might not be future cash payments against which such excess can be applied. As a result, in certain circumstances we could make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of our actual income or franchise tax savings, which could materially impair our financial condition.

Moreover, the Tax Receivable Agreement provides that, in the event that we exercise our right to early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, or in the event of a change of control of the Company or we are more than 90 days late in making of a payment due under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Tax Receivable Agreement will terminate, and we are required to make a lump-sum payment to the Members equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which lump-sum payment would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to our future taxable income. The change of control payment to the Members could be substantial and could exceed the actual tax benefits that we receive as a result of acquiring units from owners of OppFi-LLC because the amounts of such payments would be calculated assuming that we would have been able to use the potential tax benefits each year for the remainder of the amortization periods applicable to the basis increases, and that tax rates applicable to us would be the same as they were in the year of the termination.

Decisions made in the course of running our business, such as with respect to mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes in control, may influence the timing and amount of payments that are received by the other holders of Retained OppFi Units under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For example, the earlier disposition of assets following an exchange or acquisition transaction will generally accelerate payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and increase the present value of such payments, and the disposition of assets before an exchange or acquisition transaction will increase an existing owner’s tax liability without giving rise to any rights of holders of Retained OppFi Units to receive payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

There may be a material negative effect on our liquidity if the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual income or franchise tax savings that we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement or if distributions to us by OppFi-LLC are not sufficient to permit us to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement after we have paid taxes and other expenses. Furthermore, our obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could make us a less attractive target for an acquisition, particularly in the case of an acquirer that cannot use some or all of the tax benefits that are deemed realized under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We may need to incur additional indebtedness to finance payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement to the extent our cash resources are insufficient to meet our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

58

We may not be able to realize all or a portion of the tax benefits that are expected to result from the acquisition of Retained OppFi Units from OppFi Members.

Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company will share tax savings resulting from (A) the amortization of the anticipated step-up in tax basis in OppFi-LLC’s assets as a result of (i) the business combination and (ii) the exchange of Retained OppFi Units that were received in connection with the Business Combination, for shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA and (B) certain other related transactions with the Members. The amount of any such tax savings attributable to the payment of cash to the Members in the Business Combination and the exchanges contemplated by the Exchange Agreement will be paid 90% to the Members and retained 10% by the Company. Any such amounts payable will only be due once the relevant tax savings have been realized by the Company. Our ability to realize, and benefit from, these tax savings depends on a number of assumptions, including that we will earn sufficient taxable income each year during the period over which the deductions arising from any such basis increases and payments are available and that there are no adverse changes in applicable law or regulations. If our actual taxable income were insufficient to fully utilize such tax benefits or there were adverse changes in applicable law or regulations, we may be unable to realize all or a portion of these expected benefits and our cash flows and stockholders’ equity could be negatively affected.

Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected or in the future should collect sales and use, gross receipts, value added or similar taxes and may successfully impose additional obligations on us, and any such assessments or obligations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The application of indirect taxes, such as sales and use tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax, business tax and gross receipts tax, to platform businesses is a complex and evolving issue. Many of the fundamental statutes and regulations that impose these taxes were established before the adoption and growth of the Internet and e-commerce. Significant judgment is required on an ongoing basis to evaluate applicable tax obligations and as a result amounts recorded are estimates and are subject to adjustments. In many cases, the ultimate tax determination is uncertain because it is not clear how new and existing statutes might apply to our business.

In addition, governments are increasingly looking for ways to increase revenue, which has resulted in discussions about tax reform and other legislative action to increase tax revenue, including through indirect taxes. For example, on November 6, 2018, voters in San Francisco approved “Proposition C,” which authorizes San Francisco to impose additional taxes on businesses in San Francisco that generate a certain level of gross receipts, and in January 2022, the California assembly introduced legislation proposing a statewide tax on businesses that generate gross receipts of over $2 million. Such taxes would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We may face various indirect tax audits in various U.S. jurisdictions. In certain jurisdictions, we collect and remit indirect taxes. However, tax authorities may raise questions about or challenge or disagree with our calculation, reporting or collection of taxes and may require us to collect taxes in jurisdictions in which we do not currently do so or to remit additional taxes and interest, and could impose associated penalties and fees. For example, after the U.S. Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc., certain states have adopted, or started to enforce, laws that may require the calculation, collection and remittance of taxes on sales in their jurisdictions, even if we do not have a physical presence in such jurisdictions. A successful assertion by one or more tax authorities requiring us to collect taxes in jurisdictions in which we do not currently do so or to collect additional taxes in a jurisdiction in which we currently collect taxes, could result in substantial tax liabilities, including taxes on past sales, as well as penalties and interest, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we have reserved for potential payments of possible past tax liabilities in our financial statements, if these liabilities exceed such reserves, our financial condition will be harmed.

As a result of these and other factors, the ultimate amount of tax obligations owed may differ from the amounts recorded in our financial statements and any such difference may adversely impact our results of operations in future periods in which we change our estimates of our tax obligations or in which the ultimate tax outcome is determined.

Changes in U.S. tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act, contains significant changes to U.S. tax law, including a reduction in the corporate tax rate and a transition to a new territorial system of taxation. The primary impact of the new legislation on our provision for income taxes was a reduction of the future tax benefits of our deferred tax assets as a result of the reduction in the corporate tax rate. The impact of the Tax Act will likely be subject to ongoing technical guidance and accounting interpretation, which we will continue to monitor and assess. As we expand the scale of our business activities, any changes in the U.S.

59

taxation of such activities may increase our effective tax rate and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the securities offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

Assuming the cash exercise of all outstanding Warrants, we will receive an aggregate of approximately $179.6 million. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion over the use of any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. There is no assurance that the holders of the Warrants will elect to exercise any or all of such Warrants. To the extent that any Warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of the Warrants will decrease.

We do not believe it is likely that a Warrant holder would elect to exercise their Warrants when our Class A Common Stock is trading below $11.50, or $15.00 in the case of the “$15 Exercise Price Warrants, and any cash proceeds that would be received by us is dependent on the trading price of the Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants. We do not believe that the Warrant holders’ failure to exercise Warrants for cash would have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position or result of operations.

The Selling Securityholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders in disposing of the securities. We will bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees, NYSE listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE 

The offering price of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants offered hereby is determined by reference to the exercise price of the Warrants (other than the $15 Exercise Price Warrants) of $11.50 per share and by the exercise price of the $15 Exercise Price Warrant of $15 per share. The Public Warrants are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “OPFI WS.”

We cannot currently determine the price or prices at which shares of our Class A Common Stock or Warrants may be resold by the Selling Securityholders under this prospectus.

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

As of the March 25, 2022, there were 25 stockholders of record of the Class A Common Stock, excluding beneficial owners holding shares through nominee holders of record, no holders of record of the Class B Common Stock, which automatically converted into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis immediately following the Closing and one holder of record of the Class V Voting Stock.

The Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants began trading on the NYSE under the symbols “OPFI” and “OPFI WS,” respectively, on July 21, 2021. In connection with the Closing, each of FGNA’s publicly traded units automatically separated into their component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, no longer trade as a separate security and were delisted from the NYSE.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenue and earnings, if any, capital requirements, liabilities and related reserves, and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of the Board from time to time and subject to applicable Delaware law. It is the present intention of the Board to retain all earnings, if any, for use in business operations and, accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

BUSINESS

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “OppFi” refer to OppFi-LLC and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, or the Company from and after the Business Combination in the present tense. OppFi’s business and the industry in which OppFi operates is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by OppFi.

On July 20, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), FG New America Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“FGNA”), completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2021 (“Business Combination Agreement”), by and among FGNA, Opportunity Financial, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OppFi-LLC”), OppFi Shares, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OFS”), and Todd Schwartz, in his capacity as the representative (“Members’ Representative”) of the members of OppFi-LLC immediately prior to the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (“Members”). At the Closing, (i) OppFi-LLC transferred to the Company (as defined below) 12,977,690 Class A common units of OppFi (“OppFi Units”), which was equal to the number of shares of FGNA’s Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (after giving effect to redemptions by FGNA’s public stockholders prior to the Closing and the conversion of FGNA’s Class B Common Stock), (ii) FGNA contributed the Cash Consideration (as defined below) to OppFi-LLC in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, which was distributed to the Members, and (iii) FGNA issued 96,987,093 shares of newly authorized Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class V Voting Stock”), which number of shares of Class V Voting Stock was equal to the number of OppFi Units retained by the Members immediately following the Closing (“Retained OppFi Units”), and which shares of Class V Voting Stock were distributed to OFS, resulting in the combined company being organized in an “Up-C” structure. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”

As disclosed in this prospectus, the Net Promoter Scores for the lending programs of OppFi’s banking partners are 85. The Net Promoter Scores were derived through a third-party service that administers surveys to loan applicants immediately following the applicants’ acceptance of a loan on OppFi’s platform. Net Promoter Scores are calculated based on responses measured on a scale of zero to ten to the survey question, “How likely are you to recommend OppLoans to a friend?” Responses of nine or 10 are considered “promoters,” responses of seven or eight are considered neutral or “passives,” and responses of six or less are considered “detractors.” The percentage of detractors is subtracted from the percentage of promoters to obtain the Net Promoter Score using the methodology developed by Bain & Company, Inc. References to OppFi’s bank partners’ Net Promoter Scores are based on survey data gathered in 2020. Net promoter score for the bank industry are based on 2016 Net Promoter Score Benchmarks Study by the Qualtrics XM Institute (formerly Temkin Group).

Company Overview

OppFi is a leading financial technology platform that powers banks to offer accessible lending products through its proprietary technology and artificial intelligence, or AI, and a top-rated experience. OppFi’s primary mission is to facilitate financial inclusion and credit access to the 60 million everyday consumers who lack access to traditional credit through best available products and an unwavering commitment to its customers. Unlike payday loans, earned wage access and similar credit products that often lack transparency, fairness, and ability to repay guidelines, OppFi is dedicated to offering the best possible product and service at the best possible price. The average installment loan facilitated by OppFi’s platform is $1,500, payable in monthly installments and with an average contractual term of 11 months. Payments are reported to the three major credit bureaus. OppFi’s dedication to borrowers is further evidenced by its “TurnUp” process described below and most importantly, by its exceptionally high customer satisfaction ratings.

OppFi is a leading mission-driven financial technology platform that powers banks to offer accessible lending products and a top-rated experience to everyday consumers. OppFi partners with banks to facilitate short-term lending options for everyday consumers who lack access to mainstream financial products. OppFi’s AI-enabled financial technology platform

focuses on helping these everyday consumers who lack access to traditional credit products to build a better financial path. Consumers on OppFi’s platform benefit from higher approval rates and a highly automated, transparent, efficient, and fully digital experience. OppFi’s bank partners benefit from its turn-key, outsourced marketing, data science, and proprietary technology to digitally acquire, underwrite and service these everyday consumers. Since inception, OppFi has facilitated more than $3.3 billion in gross loan issuances covering over 2 million loans.

OppFi’s “Everyday Consumers” are median U.S. consumers, who are employed, have bank accounts, and earn median wages. Some have experienced a hardship or emergency and need a loan; others are struggling to make ends meet; while others have unplanned expenses, like buying a computer for their child who is in remote school due to COVID-19, for which they did not have money budgeted. When they apply for a loan through a bank, they are often rejected due to their credit score.

The OppFi solution begins with an approximately 5-minute mobile-optimized online application which, at the applicant’s request, feeds into its “TurnUp” process, which performs a search for mainstream lower cost credit products that offer an annual percentage rate, or APR, of less than 36%. Approximately 90% of the time, no offers of lower credit are returned. If no mainstream credit options are available, the application is processed through OppFi’s proprietary underwriting platform. OppFi’s AI-enabled underwriting platform utilizes alternative metrics to determine customers’ creditworthiness. OppFi’s proprietary algorithms are validated by bank partners to facilitate their underwriting processes. These algorithms ignore traditional credit scores, which are typically not the most accurate predictor of this consumer’s ability and willingness to repay.1 OppFi’s solution is based on the belief that everyday consumers can be provided credit in a way that is both accessible and affordable.

OppFi collects and calculates over 500 attributes on loan applications for uses in loan decisions. These attributes are based on data from credit bureaus, bank transactions and loan applications. Using this information, OppFi generates a proprietary score in combination with scores generated from third party providers. Scores are shared with applicants, along with the relevant factors for the score calculation. The proprietary score determines the exact loan terms to be offered to an applicant.

OppFi’s platform offers consumers a streamlined application experience that is simple, easy and transparent. After applying, applicants often receive instant decisions, as 82% of OppFi’s underwriting decisions are automated, with next business day funding. This process provides consumers with instant access to fair, transparent credit as well as an opportunity to build financial health over time through our standard reporting to the three major credit bureaus. OppFi’s installment loans have an average contractual length of less than one year, and its partner banks reward customers over time with lower priced products as they repay. OppFi’s installment loans have no fees, including no origination fees, no late fees, and no insufficient funds, or NSF, fees. Customers are offered transparent and flexible repayment options, including allowing customers to make payments for their full term, as well as allowing them to pre-pay their loans with no penalties. OppFi’s goal is to ultimately improve consumers’ access to credit via improved credit scores and to graduate them to more mainstream products over time, such as near-prime loan products and credit cards.

In pursuit of its mission to provide financial inclusion to the Everyday Consumer, OppFi focuses not only on providing initial access to credit but also on education and providing a pathway toward building financial health. OppU, OppFi’s financial education platform, provides free, standards-aligned courses intended to teach financial literacy to its customers. With OppU, both customers and non-customers can learn what it takes to build credit as well as how to budget and manage their finances.

Some OppFi consumers also have access to SalaryTap, OppFi’s payroll deduction secured installment loan product. Mechanically similar to the standard installment loan product, SalaryTap provides customers with the ability to repay through salary allotment, significantly improving repayment security and offered at lower rates to consumers. SalaryTap is currently available to OppFi customers who work at a qualified employer and apply for the SalaryTap product, so long as the applicant does not have an active or written off loan with OppFi. The percentage of OppFi’s customers who have used SalaryTap is less than 0.1%.

1OppFi has conducted a retroactive analysis of loss rates by risk segment against a Vantage 4.0 credit score model and was able to conclude the internal model had better risk adjusted losses over a twelve-month period. In fact, OppFi’s internal model recommended the approval of 29% additional loans at the same default rate. See the section titled “—Proprietary, data driven decisioning and risk models” for more information.

OppFi launched its credit card, OppFi Card, as a graduation product for selected consumers starting in the second half of 2021, utilizing best-in-class mobile experience and customer service to provide OppFi consumers with another opportunity to build credit and an alternative to traditional credit cards after they have built credit through its other products. Both SalaryTap and OppFi Card are still in the preliminary phases of their respective launches and neither product is expected to meaningfully contribute to OppFi’s results of operations for the 2022 fiscal year.

OppFi believes that it has already achieved significant scale, and is continuing to grow significantly via its installment loan product. As of December 31, 2021, OppFi has amassed a base of nearly 800 thousand unique customers since its inception and is growing rapidly. OppFi’s net promoter score (NPS) of 85 for the year ended December  31, 2021, far exceeds the industry average NPS of 32 for banks and is reflective of its commitment to providing a best in class customer service experience. NPS is a score that measures the likelihood of users to recommend a company’s products or services to others, and ranges from a low of negative 100 to high of positive 100, and benchmark scores can vary significantly by industry. A score greater than zero represents a company having more promoters than detractors. Additionally, the Company has been an Inc. 5000 company for six straight years, a three-time Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, and the seventh fastest-growing company in Chicagoland in 2021 by Crain's Chicago Business. OppFi maintains an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and maintains a 4.8/5 star rating with more than 19,000 online customer reviews.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, revenue was approximately $351 million and $291 million, respectively, representing period-over-period revenue growth of approximately 20%. OppFi generated net income of approximately $90 million and $78 million for the years ended December  31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Market Opportunity

Approximately 60 Million Americans Lack Access to Mainstream Credit

About half of U.S. consumers have non-prime credit scores (below a FICO score of 620)2, approximately 57% have less than $1,000 in their savings account3, and nearly eight out of 10 live paycheck-to-paycheck.4 OppFi operates in this segment of the financial services industry by providing a variety of credit products to historically underserved and underbanked consumers. Generally, these consumers are in need of fair, affordable, transparent and flexible credit products to cover everyday expenses and cash shortfalls, but traditional banks and credit providers are largely unwilling to service these consumers due to low FICO scores or similar factors. More than 90% of top lenders use the FICO score among other quantifiable metrics and qualifying rules to determine a potential borrower’s creditworthiness, and these criteria often result in adverse selection—potentially overlooking consumers who are otherwise willing and able to repay while simultaneously accepting consumers who are not.

Many U.S. Middle Income, Credit-Challenged Consumers Lack Access to Affordable Credit.

Several demographic and socioeconomic trends have driven demand from these unbanked and underbanked consumers, including stagnant to declining growth in the household income for working-class individuals. In 2017, a study conducted by CareerBuilder found that 78% of U.S. workers are living paycheck to paycheck. In 2019, JP Morgan Chase published a study based on administrative banking data to study the nature and trends of month-to-month fluctuations in income and spending of its U.S. account holders.5 The study found that over the prior six years, the median volatility in month-to-month income was 36% and that families experience large income swings five months per year on average. This study also determined that 65% of U.S. households had insufficient cash needed to sustain a simultaneous income dip and expenditure spike, which the study estimated should be roughly six weeks of take-home pay.

Additionally, the U.S. Federal Reserve reported in October 2019 that approximately three in ten American adults said they were either unable to pay their monthly bills or would be unable to pay their bills given one modest financial setback. The report also found that roughly 22% of the U.S. population is unbanked or underbanked, with around 20% of adults having used alternative financial services in the prior year. Approximately 31% of respondents who applied for credit were denied credit or were offered less credit than they desired, and 3% of respondents desired credit but did not apply for fear of denial. Furthermore, according to a Federal Reserve Bank of New York 2019 study, 23.8% of U.S. adults, or about 60.4 million U.S. adults, lack access to credit at choice.

Banks Must Adapt to an Increasingly Digitally Native Customer to Remain Competitive.

As this consumer segment has grown, a number of traditional financial services have become widely available online. According to the Consumer and Community Development Research Section of the Federal Reserve Board, roughly 50% of U.S. bank customers surveyed have used mobile banking services. Additionally, about half of the U.S. population would be comfortable buying financial products from technology companies based on a Bain survey from 2017. These figures highlight the extent to which consumers now accept the internet for conducting their financial transactions and are willing to entrust their financial information to online companies. OppFi believes the increased acceptance of online financial services has led to an increased demand for online lending and financing, the benefits of which include improved methods for evaluating creditworthiness, customer privacy, ease of access, security, 24/7 loan application availability, speed of funding and loan cost transparency.

Traditional Banks Have Been Slow to Adopt Digital Technology for Consumer Lending.

Traditional banks, who have historically played a substantial role in the consumer credit markets, have often been slow to adapt to this wave of digital adoption among consumers. There are roughly 5,200 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured institutions, many of which have legacy technology and lack sufficient mobile solutions in today’s digital era. Unlike larger institutions, these smaller players often lack many of the resources needed to fund and develop effective platform digitization. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these issues for both consumers and the institutions they interact with, as the lack of access to physical banking services has necessitated digital capabilities to fully serve consumers. OppFi believes the performance of its platform through the COVID-19 pandemic has also given OppFi’s existing and prospective bank partners an important new data point to underpin their growing confidence in our solution.

Consumer Lenders Offering Small Personal Loans Require Higher APRs to Break Even.

Loan interest is inclusive of both compensation for forgoing current income for future income and the associated risk as well as compensation for expenses incurred to originate, service and collect the loans. While the former expenses are variable with the amount of the credit and the creditworthiness of the borrower, the latter are largely fixed. These fixed costs are tied to the loan application itself. In the case of smaller-sized consumer loans, these fixed costs are representatively large relative to loan amount; therefore, smaller loans require higher interest rates than larger loans. According to a report published by the Federal Reserve on August 12, 2020, break-even APRs are quite high for small loan amounts. Based on 2015 data in the report, a loan amount of $2,530 is necessary to break even at a 36% APR, and the trend is even more pronounced for smaller loan amounts. The required break-even APR shrinks and flattens for larger loans; however, the implication is that the loan comes with a longer period of indebtedness and a higher overall interest payment over the life of the loan, which is often far worse for OppFi’s target customers who either lack access to this larger loan or lack the willingness or ability to repay this larger loan.

Additionally, break-even APRs tend to be much higher for small loan amounts than for large loan amounts, with a $594 loan requiring an APR of 103.54% for a lender to break even and a loan amount of $2,530 being necessary for a lender to break even at an APR of 36%, according to research by the U.S. Federal Reserve.6 As a result, such economics often result in credit-challenged consumers being unable to qualify for credit. OppFi loans have APRs ranging from 59-160%,with no material difference in APR between bank partner loans and non-bank originated loans. The average APR for an OppFi loan over the past three years has been approximately 150%, which percentage has not changed significantly from year to year.

OppFi’s Solution

OppFi is facilitating financial inclusion to the Everyday Consumer through fair, transparent credit products and a commitment to exceptional customer service. OppFi and its bank-sponsored products are focused on median income consumers with a job and a bank account, who have been abandoned by the traditional mainstream credit players. Through an intelligent and efficient funding process, OppFi is able to create substantial value for its customers and banking partners with minimal complication and maximum transparency.

Washington: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, August 03, 2020, https://doi.org/10.17016/2380-7172.2610.

OppFi has determined that alternative metrics outside of FICO scores can be reliably used to determine a consumer’s true ability and willingness to repay. This notion is supported by a 2019 study conducted by the Financial Health Network that found installment loans and loans issued by non-bank lenders in the U.S. grew at compound annual growth rates of 13.8% and 27.3%, respectively, from 2015 to 2018.7 Many of these non-bank lenders utilize non-FICO based alternative methods to determine creditworthiness. Instead, potential borrowers are evaluated based on metrics such as consistency of income, types of previous loans, previous repayment patterns and employment status, among many others. OppFi believes these nontraditional methods may more accurately identify those consumers who are willing and able to repay loans, while simultaneously avoiding the issuance of loans to those consumers who may have received a loan that they cannot afford or do not intend to repay.

Loan Platform Highlights

•Simple installment loans. OppFi facilitates the issuance of fair, transparent credit products structured to rebuild financial health for the approximately 60 million Americans that lack traditional credit access. Installment loans are free of fees, amortize, and accrue simple interest, so the total cost of the loan is known up front.

•Easy, digital application and rapid approval. After the approximately 5-minute application process submitted through OppFi’s fully digital platform, consumers can receive quick credit decisions. In fact, approximately 82% of all credit decisions are automated.

•Tech-driven decisioning. OppFi’s tech stack uses AI, machine learning and real-time data analytics to make credit decisions. As opposed to traditional credit providers, OppFi ignores traditional credit scores and instead uses alternative data to instantly identify borrowers who have the ability and willingness to repay.

•Hybrid funding model. Once a customer’s application has been submitted, OppFi’s “TurnUp” process voluntarily performs a search on the customer’s behalf to find superior credit offers from mainstream credit providers. If any lower cost products are identified, OppFi displays the offers from the applicable lenders and consumers can choose to click over to finish their application on the other lender’s website. At that point, the customer leaves OppFi’s website. If no mainstream credit options are available with an affordable APR of less than 36%, the application is processed through OppFi’s underwriting platform which utilizes AI-enabled, bank-approved, proprietary algorithms. This process ensures maximum value and benefit is realized by all parties. Approximately 90% of the time, no offers of lower credit are returned.

•Loan flexibility. OppFi’s loans can be used to finance anything, such as car repairs, medical bills, housing costs, education expenses, and more. This flexibility, combined with regular reporting to the major credit bureaus, helps foster loyalty as these everyday consumers receive the help they need and a chance to rebuild their credit, with the goal of ultimately graduating on to more mainstream financial products.

•Unit economic model. Installment loans facilitated by OppFi have delivered a strong return on invested capital of two times. The average installment loan facilitated by OppFi’s platform is $1,500, payable in monthly installments and with an average contractual term of 11 months. Approximately 25% of a customer’s profitability is derived from the customer’s first loan and approximately 75% of a customer’s profitability is derived from refinanced loans due to the lack of acquisition cost after the first loan. For loans originated in 2019 and 2020, 33% and 30% of loans were paid off without being refinanced, respectively. OppFi generates interest revenue via facilitation of bank partner originated loans as well as to a lesser extent through loans it directly originates on its platform over the lifetime of the loan and any associated refinancings. OppFi’s most significant cost drivers are customer acquisition, credit, servicing and financing. OppFi’s customer acquisition model of focusing on variable cost channels tied directly to loans funded has kept these costs stable over time. OppFi’s AI driven underwriting model has allowed its loss rates to remain stable while OppFi has been able to approve a higher percentage of applications over time. Via automation, OppFi has been able to optimize its servicing costs per loan. Finally, OppFi’s cost of financing has fallen as it has been able to improve its credit profile driven by consistency in operating performance and portfolio quality.

•Customer Advocates and Collections Arrangements. OppFi’s Customer Advocate team marries customer service with collections. Customer Advocates serve customers by providing easy-to-understand information so that customers can make informed, financially responsible decisions. Customer Advocates are rewarded for both their outstanding customer service as well as their collections. OppFi’s standard operating procedures, outbound dialer/email/SMS solutions, and associated controls ensure compliance with unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices, or UDAAPs, fair lending laws, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA, the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, and the Federal Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing, or CAN-SPAM, Act. The Customer Advocate team works with delinquent customers to quickly re-establish a positive payment history by providing flexible pathways out of delinquency for customers who are willing to pay. Proactive outreach via email and text messages encourages delinquent customers to visit OppFi’s online portal or to call the Customer Advocate team. These inbound calls are prioritized and routed to the appropriate team member based on delinquency status and customer request. When capacity exists, OppFi also outbound dials delinquent customers. The dialing strategy and pace prioritizes customers who are most likely to cure while also maximizing Customer Advocate efficiency to ensure high service levels for inbound calls. Once a customer is written off, OppFi continues to contact the customer via email, SMS, and outbound dialing to resolve

their account. Customers can still pay off their balance in full directly with OppFi by working with our Customer Advocates to create customized payment arrangements. Written off customers who are unable or unwilling to pay off their balance in full are offered targeted settlements based on stage of delinquency and outstanding balance amounts. There are a variety of programs in place in order to prevent customers from entering delinquency at all, including:

•no prepayment penalties;

•borrower’s assistance program allowing customers to remain in good standing regardless of payment status and reduce accrued interest if they are affected by natural and/or manmade disasters, pandemics (including COVID-19), or other acts of god;

•temporary and permanent hardship programs for customers experiencing longer-term inability to pay, such as job loss; and

•partnerships with like-minded organizations to offer customers additional resources that build and support overall financial health

OppFi’s Strategy

•Marketing platform. OppFi has increased focus on non-direct mail marketing channels, such as Search Engine Optimization (“SEO”), email remarketing, customer referrals, and strategic partnerships. Over 50 marketing partners help drive reliably efficient customer acquisition.

•Scalable technology stack. OppFi’s origination and funding platform is built on a modern, proprietary technology stack. Using Snowflake data warehousing, microservice infrastructure, and advanced, proprietary data analytics, OppFi’s tech platform is built to scale quickly, easily, and in stride with the business.

•Customer success. Since day one, OppFi has maintained a focus on superior customer satisfaction. By allowing the customer to choose how they prefer to interact, whether digitally on their own or live with a Loan Advocate, OppFi ensures each customer gets the attention they want and deserve. OppFi’s phone number is displayed prominently on the website, making it easy for customers to get in touch at any time, for any issue. This has resulted in an exceptional Net Promoter Score of 85 as well as over 19,000 online reviews with a 4.8 / 5.0 average rating and an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

•Employee satisfaction. OppFi has cultivated an exceptional employee culture and received numerous awards for both employee satisfaction and growth, including inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest growing companies each year since 2016. OppFi believes this culture drives greater customer satisfaction and the continued success of OppFi.

OppFi’s Competitive Advantages

Digitally-native solution

Consumers are increasingly shifting towards digital products and services, which has led brick-and-mortar credit providers to suffer from the same headwinds as traditional retail stores. Contrarily, OppFi has successfully captured the non-prime consumer with its fully digital platform. OppFi offers a fully digital platform driven by a scalable and modern technology stack, as well as proprietary risk models that are continually developed through iterative data collection and analytics. This platform provides OppFi with exceptional scalability, cost efficiency, marketing effectiveness, customization, and a best in class customer experience. OppFi believes that this digital foundation creates a significant and durable advantage over traditional banks and credit providers who have been slow to adapt legacy technology into modern digitally native solutions.

Also due to OppFi’s digital nature, as its bank partners’ originations grow, OppFi achieves greater operating leverage. OppFi’s model is primarily driven by a technology platform that does not require significant increases in operating overhead to support its bank partners’ originations growth. Additionally, as OppFi serves consumers across the United States without brick-and-mortar stores, OppFi does not have any costs associated with physical stores and the personnel needed to operate them. This has been of particular value throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, as some brick-and-mortar services have suffered and digital capabilities have become paramount.

Bank partner model

OppFi employs both a bank partner origination model and direct origination model. In its bank partner origination model, applicants who apply and obtain a loan through OppFi’s online platform are underwritten, approved, and funded by the applicable bank partner. In the direct origination model, applicants who apply and obtain a loan through OppFi’s online platform are underwritten, approved, and funded directly by OppFi.

OppFi’s bank lending product leverages its marketing and servicing expertise and its partner bank’s broad national presence to enable improved credit access to 35 states or approximately 70% of the U.S. population. This relationship operates much akin to the “Managing General Agent” relationship with an insurance carrier; additionally, this model has been tested in the credit card and mortgage industries and is a key growth enabler for the business. Similar to the Managing General Agent insurance relationship, OppFi manages many aspects of the loan life cycle on behalf of its bank partners, including customer acquisition, underwriting and loan servicing. This relationship allows OppFi’s bank partners to leverage OppFi’s digital acquisition, AI-powered underwriting and highly rated customer service capabilities, which they would otherwise need to develop in-house. OppFi’s bank partners use their own capital to originate loans. OppFi’s bank partners are Finwise, FEB and CCB.

In the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 91% of OppFi’s net originations were generated from loans originated by its bank partners and facilitated by the OppFi platform, approximately 67% of which was generated by OppFi’s bank partner FinWise. OppFi’s bank partner FEB began originating loans on the OppFi platform in May 2020 and OppFi’s bank partner CCB began originating loans on the OppFi platform in October 2020.

OppFi has entered into separate agreements with each of its three bank partners. OppFi’s agreements with its bank partners are nonexclusive, generally have 60-month terms and certain agreements automatically renew, subject to certain early termination provisions and minimum fee amounts, and do not include any minimum origination obligations or origination limits. OppFi’s agreement with FinWise began on October 31, 2017 and will continue until February 1, 2023, with an automatic renewal provision for two additional three-year terms following the initial term, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement. OppFi’s bank partners generally retain approval rights on all aspects of the program and are primarily responsible for regulatory and compliance oversight.

Under the bank partner model, OppFi is compensated by the bank partner as a service provider for OppFi’s role in delivering the technology and services to the bank partner to facilitate origination and servicing of loans throughout each loan’s lifecycle. Customers who meet the underwriting criteria for multiple bank partners are referred to a specific bank partner randomly based on a computer algorithm and volume targets set with each bank partner. OppFi’s bank partners generally hold loans originated on our platform; typically two to three days following origination. OppFi acquires participation rights in such loans ranging from 95 to 100% of the loan. OppFi and its bank partners each pay or reimburse each other for certain fees and costs that are immaterial in amount.

The economic difference to OppFi in loans originated via the bank partnership model as compared to the direct origination model are immaterial and generally result from a minimal program fee paid to OppFi for each origination as well as increased compliance costs for OppFi, which collectively have an insignificant impact on OppFi’s customer lifetime value. OppFi has shifted towards the bank partner model as the percentage of Total Net Originations by OppFi’s bank partners has increased from 65.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to 90.6% for the year ended December 31, 2021. OppFi has shifted to the bank partner model because its bank partners operate under federal law, which allows them to lend nationally based on their state domicile and facilitates a national product offering for the consumer while also streamlining regulatory requirements and compliance infrastructure.

Technology, engineering talent and product architecture

OppFi’s proprietary technology platform is essential to OppFi’s core operations. OppFi utilizes modern technology solutions including sophisticated analytics tools, machine learning models and cloud-based computing to offer a smooth and engaging digital experience on the front end and a constantly evolving real time decisioning engine on the back end. In order to build and maintain these proprietary, innovative and secure products, OppFi commits substantial resources to identifying, employing, and retaining talented and mission-driven technology-focused professionals and engineers. This is highlighted by the fact that in 2021, OppFi spent approximately $25 million on technology-focused employees and third-party vendors. OppFi believes that its platform architecture and the talent OppFi retains to continually evolve provides OppFi with a competitive edge over its more traditional credit competitors.

Proprietary, data driven decisioning and risk models

OppFi’s underwriting takes a holistic view of the consumer across traditional, nontraditional, banking history, and income/employment data to make decisions on each credit application. The models ignore traditional credit scores, instead relying on internally developed scoring and analytics to identify the creditworthiness of each application. Machine learning-based risk models are custom built to effectively evaluate risk and provide customized credit product solutions for each credit application. The platform considers data such as customer available bank balance trends, volatility of income and proprietary fraud scores amongst others to predict repayment ability, and leverages this with real-time Instant Bank Verification, or IBV, response data. Additionally, OppFi’s flexible origination process to adapt and adjust to changing risk profiles and underwrite accordingly. Further, the verification process is risk calibrated and provides a differentiated, smooth process for low risk customers while having risk calibrated verification processes for the rest. The final product determination makes sure the product fits the affordability criteria and provides payments that are aligned with the customer’s income.

Secure data collection, accumulation and analysis provides OppFi with meaningful insights. OppFi’s models evaluate more than 500 attributes and have learned from loan performance data of more than 2 million loans. As additional data from new customers and new loans are continuously incorporated into the decisioning models and business practices, both credit and business performance improve over time. More data drives higher approval rates and lower interest rates at the same loss rates, as well as better financial performance across the platform. Model and data improvements have increased our conversion rate from initial application to funded loan by more than two times since inception.

OppFi’s decisioning models outperform traditional FICO-based decision models. OppFi has validated internal models and rules against external data provided by third parties to demonstrate that OppFi decisions on approvals and denials are appropriate from a risk and profitability perspective. OppFi has conducted a retroactive analysis of loss rates by risk segment against a Vantage 4.0 credit score model and was able to conclude the internal model had better risk adjusted losses over a twelve-month period. In fact, OppFi’s internal model recommended the approval of 29% additional loans at the same default rate. OppFi’s sophisticated machine learning models also mitigate risks around affordability, verification and fraud. OppFi has an industry leading fraud mitigation strategy that uses a combination of data, verification processes and customer service agents.

Multi-sided ecosystem

Through its hybrid funding model, OppFi is able to generate value for all potential parties to a credit product offering. Consumers receive fair, transparent credit that is structured to rebuild financial health, OppFi’s bank partners benefit from OppFi’s turn-key, outsourced marketing and digital acquisition and servicing, data, and proprietary technology, and OppFi benefits through either underwriting the loan itself or through the referral to the funding bank partner and subsequent loan servicing rights that OppFi maintains.

OppFi’s nationwide presence allows it to increase awareness, directly contributing to its own growth, as well as the growth and success of its bank partners. With an expanding list of bank partners and products, OppFi can solve the borrowing needs of an increasingly diverse array of consumers. As banks leverage the OppFi platform for additional products, consumers benefit from better offers of credit, while experiencing a consistently high-quality servicing experience. OppFi’s customers have proven to be loyal and highly satisfied, which in turn drives additional growth through referrals.

Integrated and efficient multi-channel marketing approach

OppFi uses an integrated multi-channel marketing strategy to reach potential customers, of which approximately 18% leads with search engine optimization, email marketing, and customer referrals. In addition, approximately 67% of OppFi’s business is derived through key strategic partners who are compensated with a negotiated fixed unit price per loan funded or fixed percent of principal dollars funded. OppFi has created unique capabilities to effectively identify and attract qualified customers, which supports its long-term growth objectives at target customer acquisition costs. OppFi’s strategies have driven decreasing average cost per funded loan over time from approximately $103 per funded loan in 2017 to approximately $78 per funded loan in 2021. Marketing costs from OppFi’s bank partner channel are known based on fixed price agreements, while marketing costs for direct mail and other direct channels can vary based on the number of customers that ultimately apply and obtain loans. OppFi’s mix of new and refinanced loans also impacts its average acquisition cost. Approximately 85% of OppFi’s customers for the year ended December 31, 2021 were sourced from non-direct mail marketing channels. OppFi believes this approach allows it to focus on higher quality, lower cost customer acquisition while maximizing reach and enhancing awareness of OppFi’s platform. OppFi continues to invest in new marketing channels, which it believes will provide OppFi with further competitive advantages and support its ongoing growth.

Commitment to customer service

OppFi is nationally recognized and awarded for its exceptional customer service. OppFi maintains an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and a 4.8/5 star rating with more than 19,000 online customer reviews, making its platform one of the top customer-rated financial platforms online with a Net Promoter Score of 85. OppFi’s customer-focused business practices include a willingness to pick up the phone—since its phone number is clearly displayed on its website—and a willingness to help customers in an urgent situation. OppFi takes a transparent hand-holding approach to make sure customers understand and choose the right products for them. Financial education is also important, which is why OppFi launched its own online University—OppU. Customers and non-customers can use OppU to learn about building credit and budgeting, as well as how to better manage finances. OppFi continuously works to improve customer satisfaction by evaluating information from website analytics, customer surveys and Loan Advocate feedback. OppFi’s teams receive training on a regular basis and are monitored for quality assurance. OppFi believes customers who wish to access credit again or who refer OppFi to another potential customer often do so because of OppFi’s dedication to customer service and the transparency of OppFi’s products.

OppFi’s Growth Strategies

OppFi maintains several channels for growth, including for its core bank partner lending product and adjacent product areas, leveraging its deep knowledge of the Everyday Consumer. With OppFi’s current product offering and qualified, target credit population, OppFi has currently penetrated approximately 1% of potential annual loan originations in the United States.8 There is significant opportunity to expand within this current population with the installment product, offer adjacent financial services products and reach near-prime customers with an installment product.

Substantial growth in core installment business

•Everyday consumers face credit challenges with inadequate savings. With 57% of Americans lacking more than $1,000 in savings, unforeseen events such as car repair, medical bills and other unexpected events result in credit challenges.9 Using an illustrative $1,500 installment principal loan balance, OppFi estimates that there are approximately $27 billion of potential annual loan originations based on 30% on OppFi’s target credit population of U.S. adults. This represents less than 1% current penetration and immense opportunity for growth.

•Strong tailwinds in post-COVID-19 environment. Building upon more than 70% annual receivable growth prior to COVID-19, OppFi expects growth in its traditional installment business, especially given tailwinds associated with the resumption of normal course domestic economic activity. The typical OppFi customer borrows to finance a car repair or an unexpected healthcare deductible expense; these demand drivers, partially slowed by COVID-19-related effects, are expected to return over the upcoming years.

New product expansion opportunities

•Near prime lending. Near prime lending offers a logical extension of OppFi’s core installment product. Tailoring to a near-prime audience, an installment product offered by OppFi would include a lower interest rate to match the enhanced credit profile, while potentially increasing the size of the principal.

•Adjacent financial products. OppFi has identified adjacent opportunities in mobile banking & debit cards, point of sale lending and mortgage products that we may pursue in the future. Our flexible technology platform allows for a relatively straightforward and less time intensive implementation of these products.

Competition

Consumer lending is a vast and competitive market, and OppFi competes in varying degrees with all other sources of unsecured consumer credit, including banks, non-bank lenders (including retail-based lenders) and other financial technology lending platforms. Because personal loans often serve as a replacement for credit cards, OppFi also competes with the convenience and ubiquity that credit cards represent.

On the bank partnership side, OppFi competes with a variety of technology companies that aim to help banks with the digital transformation of their business, particularly with respect to all-digital lending. This includes new products from legacy bank technology providers as well as newer companies focused entirely on lending software infrastructure for banks. OppFi may also face competition from banks or companies that have not previously competed in the consumer lending market, including companies with large and experienced data science teams and access to vast amounts of consumer-related information that could be used in the development of their own credit risk models.

OppFi believes it competes favorably based on the following competitive factors:

•Constantly improving AI models;

•Compelling loan offers from bank partners to consumers that improve regularly;

•Automated and user-friendly loan application process;

•Consistent and predictable loan performance;

•Cloud-native, multi-tenant architecture;

•Combination of technology and customer acquisition for bank partners;

•Robust and diverse loan funding program; and

•Brand recognition and trust.

Government Regulation

OppFi and the loans made through its platform by its bank partners are subject to extensive and complex rules and regulations and examination by various federal, state and local government authorities. Failure to comply with any of the applicable rules and regulations may result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or registration, loss of approved status, effective voiding or rescission of the loan contracts, reduction of allowable interest, class action lawsuits, administrative enforcement actions and civil and criminal liability. While compliance with such requirements is at times complicated by OppFi’s novel business model and an evolving regulatory environment, OppFi believes it is, at a minimum, in substantial compliance with these rules and regulations.

OppFi is, and expects in the future to be, regulated by the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (“CFPB”). In addition to the CFPB, other state and federal agencies have the ability to regulate aspects of its business. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as many state statutes, provide a mechanism for state attorneys general to investigate OppFi. In addition, as a result of OppFi’s relationships with its current bank partners, OppFi is subject to oversight by federal banking agencies, including the FDIC, and the Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction to investigate aspects of its business, including with respect to marketing practices. Further, OppFi is subject to inspections, examinations, supervision and regulation by applicable agencies in each state in which OppFi is licensed or in which our borrowers reside. Regulatory oversight of OppFi’s business may change over time. By way of example, California has enacted legislation to create a “mini-CFPB” agency, which seeks to emulate the CFPB with respect to its enforcement and supervisory capabilities as well as require additional state registration for certain covered persons. OppFi expects that regulatory examinations by both federal and state agencies will continue, and there can be no assurance that the results of such examinations will not have a material adverse effect on OppFi.

Below, OppFi summarizes several of the material federal lending, servicing and related laws applicable to its business. Many states have laws and regulations that are similar to the federal consumer protection laws referred to below, but the degree and nature of such laws and regulations, and their applicability to us and our products, vary from state to state.

Federal Lending and Related Laws

Truth in Lending Act

The Truth in Lending Act, or TILA, and Regulation Z, which implements it, require creditors to provide consumers with uniform, understandable information concerning certain terms and conditions of their loan and credit transactions, and to comply with certain lending practice requirements and restrictions. These rules apply to loans facilitated through OppFi’s platform, and OppFi assists with compliance as part of the services OppFi provides to its bank partners. For closed-end credit transactions, required disclosures include, among others, providing the annual percentage rate, the finance charge, the amount financed, the number of payments, the amount of the monthly payment, the presence and amount of certain fees, and the presence of certain contractual terms. TILA also regulates the advertising of credit and gives borrowers, among other things, certain rights regarding updated disclosures and the treatment of credit balances. OppFi, on behalf of the applicable bank partner, provides applicants with a TILA disclosure when applicants complete their loan applications on its platform. If the applicant’s request is not fully funded and the applicant chooses to accept a lesser amount offered, OppFi provides an updated TILA disclosure on behalf of the applicable bank partner. OppFi also seeks to comply with TILA’s disclosure requirements related to credit advertising and, to the extent that OppFi holds or services loans, TILA’s requirements related to treatment of credit balances for closed-end loans. OppFi also can facilitate the origination of a limited number of credit card accounts through its platform. In connection with such accounts, TILA requires the provision of certain solicitation and account-opening disclosures. TILA also imposes requirements on the terms of credit card accounts, and the process of originating and servicing such accounts.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, or ECOA, prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, sex, age (provided that the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract), religion, national origin, marital status, the fact that all or part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program, or the fact that the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the federal Consumer Credit Protection Act or certain state laws. Regulation B, which implements ECOA, restricts creditors from requesting certain types of information from loan applicants or engaging in certain loan-related practices, and from using advertising or making statements that would discourage on a prohibited basis a reasonable person from making or pursuing an application. These requirements apply to bank partners for loans facilitated through its platform as well as to OppFi as a service provider that assists in the process. OppFi abides by policies and procedures implemented by its bank partners to comply with ECOA’s provisions prohibiting discouragement and discrimination. ECOA also requires creditors to provide applicants with timely notices of adverse action taken on credit applications, including disclosing to applicants who have been declined their rights and the reason for their having been declined. On behalf of its bank partners, OppFi provides prospective borrowers who apply for a loan through its platform but are denied credit with an adverse action notice in compliance with applicable requirements. Early commentary from the recently changed Presidential Administration has indicated an increased focus (likely through the CFPB and its enforcement of ECOA and Regulation B) on equality in credit availability and pricing, as compared to the prior Administration. It is unclear at this point how or if such increased focus will impact OppFi’s business or operations or those of its bank partners.

Fair Credit Reporting Act

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, or FCRA, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, and administered by the CFPB, promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. FCRA requires consent or a permissible purpose to obtain a consumer credit report and requires that persons who report loan payment information to credit bureaus do so accurately and resolve disputes regarding reported information timely. FCRA also imposes disclosure requirements on creditors who take adverse action on credit applications based on information contained in a credit report.

Under FCRA, certain information must be provided to applicants whose credit applications are not approved or who are offered credit at an interest rate higher than other borrowers on the basis of a report obtained from a consumer reporting agency, promptly update any credit information reported to a credit reporting agency about a customer and have a process by which customers may inquire about credit information furnished by OppFi to a consumer reporting agency. OppFi and its bank partners have a permissible purpose for obtaining credit reports on potential borrowers, and OppFi also obtains explicit consent from borrowers to obtain such reports. As part of its loan servicing activities, OppFi accurately reports loan payment and delinquency information to appropriate consumer reporting agencies. OppFi provides timely adverse action notices when required on behalf of each bank partner on its platform that includes all the required disclosures. OppFi also has processes in place to ensure that consumers are given “opt-out” opportunities, as required by the FCRA, regarding the sharing of their

personal information. OppFi has also implemented an identity theft prevention program, as required by FCRA and its implementing regulations.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, provides guidelines and limitations on the conduct of certain debt collectors in connection with the collection of consumer debts. The FDCPA limits certain communications with third parties, imposes notice and debt validation requirements, and prohibits threatening, harassing or abusive conduct in the course of debt collection. The FDCPA primarily applies to third-party debt collectors, meaning parties collecting on behalf of another, and debt collection laws of certain states also impose similar requirements more broadly on creditors who collect their own debts. In addition, the CFPB prohibits unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices, or UDAAPs in debt collection, including first-party debt collection. In addition, on October 30, 2020, the CFPB issued a final rule implementing requirements of the FDCPA and a second final rule on debt collection focused on consumer disclosures on December 18, 2020, which took effect on November 30, 2021. The CFPB also issued a second final rule on debt collection focused on consumer disclosures on December 18, 2020, which also took effect on November 30, 2021. OppFi uses its internal collection team and professional third-party debt collection agents to collect delinquent accounts. Any third-party debt collection agents OppFi uses are required to comply with the FDCPA and all other applicable laws in collecting delinquent accounts of borrowers. While its internal servicing team is not subject to the formal requirements of the FDCPA in most cases, OppFi has established policies intended to substantially comply with the collection practice requirements under the FDCPA as a means of complying with more general UDAAP standards.

Privacy and Data Security Laws

The federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or GLBA, includes limitations on financial institutions’ disclosure of nonpublic personal information about a consumer to nonaffiliated third parties, in certain circumstances requires financial institutions to limit the use and further disclosure of nonpublic personal information by nonaffiliated third parties to whom they disclose such information and requires financial institutions to disclose certain privacy policies and practices with respect to information sharing with affiliated and unaffiliated entities as well as to safeguard personal customer information. OppFi collects and uses a wide variety of information to help ensure the integrity of its services and to provide features and functionality to its customers. This aspect of OppFi’s business, including the collection, use, and protection of the information OppFi acquires from its own services as well as from third-party sources, is subject to laws and regulations in the United States. Accordingly, OppFi publishes its privacy policies and terms of service, which describe its practices concerning the use, transmission, and disclosure of information. OppFi has a detailed privacy policy, which complies with GLBA and is accessible from every page of its website. OppFi maintains consumers’ personal information securely, and OppFi does not sell, rent or share such information with third parties for marketing purposes unless previously agreed to by the consumer. In addition, OppFi takes measures to safeguard the personal information of borrowers and investors and protect against unauthorized access to this information. As OppFi’s business continues to expand, and as state and federal laws and regulations continue to be passed and their interpretations continue to evolve, additional laws and regulations may become relevant to OppFi.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

In response to the prior financial crisis, the Dodd-Frank Act was enacted as extensive and significant legislation with consumer protection provisions. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act created the CFPB, which commenced operations in July 2011 and has significant authority to implement and enforce federal consumer financial laws, such as the TILA and ECOA. The CFPB is authorized to prevent “unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices” through its regulatory, supervisory and enforcement authority. The CFPB also engages in consumer financial education, requests data and promotes the availability of financial services to underserved customers and communities. The CFPB has regulatory and enforcement powers over most providers of consumer financial products and services, including OppFi. It also has supervisory and examination powers over certain providers of consumer financial products and services, including large banks, payday lenders, “larger participants” in certain financial services markets defined by CFPB regulation, and non-bank entities determined to present a risk to consumers after notice and an opportunity to respond.

The CFPB has imposed, and will continue to impose, restrictions on lending practices, including with respect to the terms of certain loans. OppFi and its bank partners are subject to the CFPB’s enforcement authority, which could increase under new CFPB leadership. The CFPB may request reports concerning OppFi’s organization, business conduct, markets and activities. In addition, the CFPB may, in connection with its supervisory authority, also conduct on-site examinations of its and its bank partners’ businesses on a periodic basis, subject to whether the applicable bank partner satisfies the assets threshold for CFPB supervision. If the CFPB were to conclude that OppFi’s loan origination assistance or servicing activities, or any loans

originated by its bank partners on its platform, violate applicable consumer protection laws or regulations, OppFi could be subject to a formal or informal inquiry, investigation and/or enforcement action. Formal enforcement actions are generally made public, which carries reputational risk. In addition, the market price of the Class A Common Stock could decline as a result of the initiation of a CFPB investigation of OppFi or even the perception that such an investigation could occur, even in the absence of any finding by the CFPB that OppFi has violated any state or federal law. As of the date hereof, OppFi is not subject to any enforcement actions by the CFPB.

For more information regarding the CFPB and the CFPB rules to which OppFi is subject or may become subject, see “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Federal Trade Commission Act

Under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, OppFi and its bank partners are prohibited from engaging in unfair and deceptive acts and practices. For nonbank financial institutions, the FTC is the primary regulator enforcing this prohibition, and in recent years the FTC has been focused on practices of financial technology companies. Based on publicly available actions, the FTC’s primary focus has been with respect to financial technology company marketing and disclosure practices. For instance, in September 2020, the FTC filed a complaint against a collection firm for illegal debt collection practices including use of deceptive robocalling and misrepresenting their association with a law firm. The FTC also is currently engaged in litigation with a major online lender regarding, among other things, the adequacy of its disclosures of an origination fee associated with a product, though this litigation is paused pending Supreme Court determination of certain FTC authorities.

Electronic Fund Transfer Act and NACHA Rules

The federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act, or EFTA, provides guidelines and restrictions on the electronic transfer of funds from consumers’ bank accounts. Under EFTA, and Regulation E that implements it, OppFi must obtain consumer consents prior to receiving electronic transfer of funds from consumers’ bank accounts, and its bank partners may not condition an extension of credit on the borrower’s agreement to repay the loan through preauthorized (recurring) electronic fund transfers. In addition to compliance with federal laws, transfers performed by ACH electronic transfers are subject to detailed timing and notification rules and guidelines administered by the National Automated Clearinghouse Association, or NACHA. While NACHA guidelines are not laws, failure to comply with them may nevertheless result in commercial harm to its business. All transfers of funds related to its operations conform to the EFTA, its regulations and NACHA guidelines. As part of OppFi’s servicing activities, OppFi obtains necessary electronic authorization from borrowers and investors for such transfers in compliance with such rules. The loans offered on OppFi’s platform by its bank partners must also comply with the requirement that a loan cannot be conditioned on the borrower’s agreement to repay the loan through recurring electronic fund transfers.

Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act

The federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or ESIGN, and similar state laws, particularly the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or UETA, authorize the creation of legally binding and enforceable agreements utilizing electronic records and signatures. ESIGN and UETA require businesses that want to use electronic records or signatures in consumer transactions and provide disclosures to consumers (otherwise required to be “in writing” in electronic form), to obtain the consumer’s consent to receive information electronically. When a consumer registers on its platform, OppFi obtains his or her consent to transact business electronically, receive electronic disclosures and maintain electronic records in compliance with ESIGN and UETA requirements, and OppFi maintains electronic signatures and records in a manner intended to support enforceability of relevant consumer agreements and consents.

Federal Marketing Regulations

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA, generally prohibits robocalls, including those calls made using an auto-dialer or prerecorded or artificial voice calls made to a wireless telephone without the prior express consent of the called party (or prior express written consent, if messages constitute telemarketing). In addition, the FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule implements the FTC’s Do-Not-Call Registry and imposes numerous other requirements and limitations in connection with telemarketing. OppFi’s policies address the requirements of the TCPA as well as FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule and other laws limiting telephone outreach. Furthermore, OppFi does not engage in certain activities covered by the TCPA, such as using an automated dialer.

The Federal Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing, or CAN-SPAM, Act makes it unlawful to send certain electronic mail messages that contain false or deceptive information and provide other protections for email users. CAN-SPAM also requires the need to provide a functioning mechanism that allows the recipient to opt-out of receiving future commercial e-mail messages from the sender of such messages. OppFi’s email communications with all consumers are formulated to comply with the CAN-SPAM Act.

Servicemembers Civil Relief Act

Under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, or SCRA, there are limits on interest rates chargeable to military personnel and civil judicial proceedings against them, and there are limitations on its ability to collect on a loan to servicemembers on active duty originated prior to the servicemember entering active duty status and, in certain cases, for a period of time thereafter. The SCRA allows military members to suspend or postpone certain civil obligations so that the military member can devote his or her full attention to military duties. The SCRA requires OppFi to adjust the interest rate charged on loans to borrowers who qualify for and request relief. If a borrower with an outstanding loan qualifies for SCRA protection the interest rate on their loan (including certain fees) will be reduced to 6% for the duration of the borrower’s active duty. During this period, any interest holder in the loan will not receive the difference between 6% and the loan’s original interest rate. As part of the services OppFi provides, OppFi requires the borrower to send it a written request and a copy of the borrower’s mobilization orders to obtain an interest rate reduction on a loan due to military service. Other protections offered to servicemembers under the SCRA, including protections related to the collection of loans, do not require the servicemember to take any particular action, such as submitting military orders, to claim benefits.

Military Lending Act

Under the Military Lending Act, certain members of the armed forces serving on active duty and their dependents must be identified and be provided with certain protections when becoming obligated on a consumer credit transaction. These protections include: a limit on the Military Annual Percentage Rate (an all-in cost-of-credit measure which is the same as the APR for loans facilitated on its platform) of 36%, certain required disclosures before origination, a prohibition on charging prepayment penalties and a prohibition on arbitration agreements and certain other loan agreement terms. As part of the services OppFi provides, OppFi ensures compliance with the requirements of the Military Lending Act.

Bank Secrecy Act, USA PATRIOT Act, and U.S. Sanctions Laws

Under the Bank Secrecy Act, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, or USA PATRIOT ACT, and certain U.S. sanctions laws, its bank partners are required to maintain anti-money laundering, customer due diligence and record-keeping policies and procedures, which OppFi performs on behalf of its bank partners, and to avoid doing business with sanctioned persons or entities or engaging in types of sanctioned activity in certain jurisdictions. OppFi has implemented an anti-money laundering (“AML”) program designed to prevent its platform from being used to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activity. OppFi’s AML program is designed to prevent its platform from being used to facilitate business in countries, or with persons or entities, included on designated lists promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls and equivalent foreign authorities. OppFi’s AML compliance program includes policies, procedures, reporting protocols, and internal controls, including the designation of an AML compliance officer, and is designed to address these legal and regulatory requirements and to assist in managing risk associated with money laundering and terrorist financing. With respect to new borrowers, OppFi applies the customer identification and verification program rules and screen names against the list of specially designated nationals maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”).

Bankruptcy Code

Under the Bankruptcy Code, OppFi is in certain circumstances prohibited by the automatic stay, reorganization plan and discharge provisions, among others, in seeking enforcement of debts against parties who have filed for bankruptcy protection. OppFi’s policies are designed to support compliance with the Bankruptcy Code as OppFi services and collects loans.

Small Dollar Loan Rule

In 2017, the CFPB proposed a rule regulating small dollar loans which applies to lenders (such as our bank partners) making covered loans, defined as: (i) consumer loans with a term of 45 days or less; (ii) longer-term consumer balloon payment loans; and (iii) consumer loans that exceed 45 days in term with a “cost of credit” that exceeds 36% APR in which the lender

obtains a leveraged payment mechanism (i.e., the lender has the right to transfer money from a consumer’s account). As proposed, the rule (a) included fairly significant requirements for lenders to undertake specific underwriting processes referred to as ability-to-pay determinations before making a loan; (b) made it an unfair and abusive practice for a lender to make a third attempt to withdraw payment from a consumer’s account in connection with loans that have terms of 45 days or less where two consecutive attempts to withdraw payments from the account failed due to a lack of sufficient funds, unless the lender obtains new and specific authorization from the consumer; and (c) required lenders to provide consumers with written notice before making their first attempt to withdraw payment from a borrower’s account and before subsequent attempts that involve different dates, amounts, or payment channels.

Enforcement of the rule is stayed, pending resolution of an ongoing legal challenge primarily focused on the ability-to-pay determination mandate. The CFPB rescinded portions of the rule requiring an ability-to-pay determination and finalized the balance of the rule in 2020; however, the stay on enforcement remains pending resolution of the litigation.

OppFi believes the rule is common sense legislation and good for the industry. It is possible the rule, when enforced, could impact OppFi’s business or require it to obtain additional borrower consents or make additional disclosures on behalf of its bank partners. Also, if the ability-to-pay determination is re-inserted by the CFPB, OppFi could be required to take additional actions in connection with loan transactions made on behalf of its bank partners.

State Lending Regulations

State Usury Limitations

With respect to bank partners that are FDIC-insured, state banks originating loans on our platform, which represent the vast majority of loans originated or national banks or federal savings banks originating loans on our platform, federal case law and relevant regulatory guidance (including FDIC advisory opinion 92-47) permit depository institutions to “export” requirements regarding interest rates and certain fees considered to be “interest” under federal law from the state or U.S. territory where the bank is located for all loans originated from such state, regardless of the usury limitations imposed by the state law of the borrower’s residence or other states with which the loan may have a geographic nexus, unless the state has chosen to opt out of the exportation regime. OppFi believes, however, if a state or U.S. territory in which one of our bank partners operate opted out of rate exportation, judicial interpretations support the view that such opt outs would apply only to loans “made” in those states. OppFi believes that the “opt-out” of any state would not affect the ability of its platform to benefit from the exportation of rates. If a loan made through OppFi’s platform by a bank partner were deemed to be subject to the usury laws of a state or U.S. territory that had opted-out of the exportation regime, if the loan were not originated in a manner that permitted exportation of interest rate requirements from the state OppFi and its bank partners believed applied at the time of origination, if the loan bore interest or certain fees in excess of the amounts permitted by the state in which the loan was “made” for exportation purposes (or was otherwise in violation of such state’s relevant usury and fee laws) or if the interest exportation authority were determined not to apply to a loan under any particular circumstances, OppFi, its bank partners, or subsequent holders of such loans could become subject to fines, penalties and possible forfeiture of amounts charged to borrowers, and OppFi could decide not to permit bank partners to originate loans in that jurisdiction through its platform or its bank partners or loan investors could choose not to continue doing business with OppFi in such jurisdiction or more broadly, which could adversely impact its growth.

There have also been recent judicial decisions that could affect the collectability of loans sold by its bank partners after origination and the exposure of loan purchasers to potential fines or other penalties for usury violations. See the section titled “Risk Factors” for more information about recent case law developments.

State Disclosure and Lending Practice Requirements

The loans originated on OppFi’s platform by its bank partners may be subject to state laws and regulations that impose requirements related to loan disclosures and terms, credit discrimination, credit reporting, debt collection, and unfair or deceptive business practices. OppFi’s ongoing compliance program seeks to comply with these requirements.

State Licensing/Registration

OppFi holds licenses, registrations, and similar filings so that OppFi can conduct business, including providing referral services and origination assistance to lenders on its platform and servicing and collecting loans, in all states and the District of Columbia where its activities require such licensure, registration or filing. Licenses granted by the regulatory agencies in various states are subject to periodic renewal and may be revoked or suspended for failure to comply with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. In addition, as the product offerings of OppFi or its bank partners change, as states enact new

licensing requirements or amend existing licensing laws or regulations, or as states regulators or courts adjust their interpretations of licensing statutes and regulations, OppFi may be required to obtain additional licenses. OppFi is also typically required to complete an annual report (or its equivalent) to each state’s regulator. The statutes also typically subject OppFi to the supervisory and examination authority of state regulators.

State licensing statutes impose a variety of requirements and restrictions, including:

•record-keeping requirements;

•collection and servicing practices;

•requirements governing electronic payments, transactions, signatures and disclosures;

•examination requirements;

•surety bond and minimum net worth requirements;

•financial reporting requirements;

•notification requirements for changes in principal officers, stock ownership or corporate control; and

•restrictions on advertising and other loan solicitation activity, as well as restrictions on loan referral or similar practices.

Compliance

OppFi reviews its policies and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory laws and regulations applicable to OppFi and its bank partners. OppFi has built its systems and processes with controls in place in order to permit its policies and procedures to be followed on a consistent basis. For example, to ensure proper controls are in place to maintain compliance with the consumer protection related laws and regulations, OppFi has developed a compliance management system consistent with the regulatory expectations published by governmental agencies. While no compliance program can assure that there will never be violations, or alleged violations, of applicable laws, OppFi believes that its compliance management system is reasonably designed and managed to minimize compliance-related risks.

Intellectual Property

OppFi protects its intellectual property through a combination of trademarks, domain names and trade secrets, as well as through confidentiality agreements, its information security infrastructure and restrictions on access to or use of its proprietary technology.

OppFi has trademark registrations in the United States in its names and its logo. OppFi will pursue additional trademark registrations to the extent OppFi believes it will be beneficial. OppFi also has registered domain names for websites that OppFi uses in its business. OppFi may be subject to third party claims from time to time with respect to its intellectual property.

Additionally, OppFi relies upon unpatented trade secrets and confidential know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain its competitive position. OppFi also enters into confidentiality and intellectual property rights agreements with its employees, consultants, contractors and bank partners. Under such agreements, OppFi’s employees, consultants and contractors are subject to invention assignment provisions designed to protect its proprietary information and ensure its ownership in intellectual property developed pursuant to such agreements.

For additional information about its intellectual property and associated risks, see the section titled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to OppFi’s Business and Industry.”

Employees and Human Capital

OppFi believes it has built something very special in terms of its company culture. Building a great place to work for the best talent was a priority for OppFi from day one. It is not an accident that OppFi has received numerous best place to work awards in its Chicago headquarters.

OppFi has brought together a remarkable diversity of thinkers. The members of OppFi’s management team come from diverse backgrounds with varying ethnicities, education backgrounds, genders and ages. As the focal point of its human capital strategy, OppFi attracts and recruits diverse, exceptionally talented, highly educated, experienced and motivated employees.

As of December 31, 2021, OppFi had approximately 573 full-time employees. OppFi also engages contractors and consultants as needed to support its operations. None of OppFi’s employees are represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement. OppFi has not experienced any work stoppages, and OppFi considers its relations with its employees to be good.

Facilities

OppFi’s corporate headquarters is located in Chicago, Illinois and consists of approximately 79,928 square feet under a lease that expires in 2030. OppFi believes that its facilities are adequate for its current needs and that, if necessary, additional facilities will be available to accommodate the expansion of its business.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, OppFi and certain of its subsidiaries may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, OppFi is, and has been, and from time to time may be, subject to inquiries or investigations by state and federal regulatory agencies and bodies, such as the CFPB, state attorneys general, state financial regulatory agencies and other state or federal agencies or bodies regarding the OppFi platform, including the marketing of loans for lenders, underwriting and pricing of consumer loans for OppFi’s bank partners, OppFi’s fair lending compliance program and licensing and registration requirements. OppFi has addressed these inquiries directly and engaged in open dialogue with regulators. For example, the CFPB has issued a civil investigative demand, or CID, to OppFi, as a result of a consumer complaint, the stated purpose of which is to determine whether OppFi’s lending practices violated any consumer financial laws with respect to the Military Lending Act. OppFi has responded to the CFPB to refute the number of affected consumers. OppFi intends to cooperate with the CFPB in this investigation and impacted consumers were already provided with redress whereby OppFi either adjusted the applicable consumer’s interest rate so that the Military Annual Percentage Rate (MAPR) was less than 36%, with past payments reallocated to principal or refunded, as appropriate, or forgave the loan and corrected any negative credit reporting. The number of potentially affected loans is less than 0.01% of all loans facilitated through the OppFi platform since OppFi’s inception. See “Risk Factors—We have been in the past and may in the future be subject to federal and state regulatory inquiries regarding our business, which may cause significant harm to our reputation, lead to investigations and enforcement actions from other agencies or litigants, and divert management attention and resources from the operation of our business” for further information about this matter.

On April 5, 2021, the Washington, D.C. Attorney General filed a lawsuit against OppFi for allegedly deceptively marketing high-cost loans with interest rates above the Washington, D.C. usury cap. The usury claim is based on an allegation that OppFi, which is not licensed in Washington, D.C. because a license is not required to service bank loans in the district, and not its partner bank, FinWise, originated these loans, and is therefore in violation of the district’s usury laws. While OppFi denies such allegations and intends to vigorously defend the matter, FinWise has ceased originating loans in Washington D.C. and as a result, OppFi has ceased doing business in Washington, D.C. with FinWise and there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of the action. OppFi has also been the subject of state attorneys general inquires of a similar nature in other states, including Montana and Washington state, as well as the California Department of Business Oversight, and the subject of litigation filed on behalf of putative classes of customers in California and Washington. See “Risk Factors—If loans facilitated through our platform for one or more bank partners were subject to successful challenge that the bank partner was not the “true lender,” such loans may be unenforceable, subject to rescission or otherwise impaired, we or other program participants may be subject to fines, judgments and penalties, and/or our commercial relationships may suffer, each of which would adversely affect our business and results of operations” for further information about these matters.

OppFi has also received inquiries from state regulatory agencies regarding requirements to obtain licenses from or register with those states, including in states where OppFi has determined that it is not required to obtain such a license or be registered with the state, and OppFi expects to continue to receive such inquiries.

Finally, third parties may from time to time assert claims against OppFi in the form of letters and other communications. OppFi is not currently subject to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to OppFi, OppFi believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. However, regardless of the final outcome, defending lawsuits, claims, government investigations, and proceedings in which OppFi is involved is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees, and there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to OppFi Inc. (“OppFi”) and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Opportunity Financial, LLC (“OppFi-LLC”), You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, our business is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. As a result of these factors, such as those set forth under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this prospectus, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading mission-driven financial technology platform that powers banks to offer accessible financial products to everyday consumers through our proprietary technology and artificial intelligence (“AI”) and a top-rated customer experience. Our primary mission is to facilitate financial inclusion and credit access to the 150 million everyday consumers who lack access to mainstream credit and help them build financial health. Consumers on our platform benefit from higher approval rates and a highly automated, transparent, efficient, and fully digital experience. Our bank partners benefit from our turn-key, outsourced marketing, data science, and proprietary technology to digitally acquire, underwrite and service everyday consumers and increase automation throughout the lending process.

We principally service consumers on our financial platform through OppLoans, which is our bank sponsored installment loan product that is a fully amortizing, simple interest small dollar loan with an average loan size of approximately $1,500 and a term of 11 months. We also recently launched our SalaryTap and OppFi Card products, which do not currently represent a significant amount of our business.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. Recently, consumer activity has began to recover and many government mandates to restrict daily activities have been lifted, but the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic globally and in the United States remain unknown. Worker shortages, supply chain issues, inflationary pressures, vaccine and testing requirements, the emergence of new variants, and the reinstatement of restrictions and health and safety related measures in response to the emergence of new variants, such as the Delta and Omicron variants, contributed to the volatility of ongoing recovery. There can be no assurance that economic recovery will continue or that consumer behavior will return to pre-pandemic levels. For further discussion, please reference the “Risk Factors” section.

Election of Fair Value

On January 1, 2021, we elected the fair value option for our OppLoan product. Accordingly, the related finance receivables are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the changes in fair value are included in the consolidated statements of operations. For more information, please refer to “Fair Value Pro Forma" below.

Key Performance Metrics

We regularly review the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions, which may also be useful to an investor. The following tables and related discussion set forth key financial and operating metrics for the Company’s operations as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Note: All key performance metrics include the three products on the OppFi platform and are not shown separately as contributions from SalaryTap and OppFi Card were de minimis.

Total Net Originations

We measure originations to assess the growth trajectory and overall size of our loan portfolio. There is a direct correlation between origination growth and revenue growth. We include both bank partner originations as well as those originated by us directly. Loans are considered to be originated when the contract is signed between us and the prospective borrower. The vast majority of our originations ultimately disburse to a borrower, but disbursement timing lags that of originations. Originations may be useful to an investor to help understand the growth trajectory of our revenues.

The following tables present total net originations (defined as gross originations net of transferred balance on refinanced loans), percentage of net originations by bank partners, and percentage of net originations by new loans for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,						Change
	2021			2020			$		%
Total net originations	$	595,079		$	483,350		$	111,729	23.1	%
Percentage of net originations by bank partners	90.6		%	65.0		%	N/A		39.4	%
Percentage of net originations by new loans	46.2		%	42.8		%	N/A		7.9	%

Net originations increased to $595.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $483.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The 23.1% increase was primarily due to a partial recovery from the short-term reduction in customer demand attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental stimulus measures that we experienced 2020. However, 2021 growth was significantly lower than historical years due in part to the continued impact of the pandemic on customer demand.

Our origination mix continues to shift towards a servicing / facilitation model for bank partners from a direct origination model. Total net originations by our bank partners increased to 90.6% for the year ended December 31, 2021, from 65.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In addition, our net originations saw an increase in the percentage of originations of new loans compared to refinanced loans as customer demand began to return from weakness due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 coupled with increased

automation, which drove a higher conversion of applications to funded loans. Total net originations of new loans as percentage of total loans increased to 46.2% for the year ended December 31, 2021 from 42.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Ending Receivables

Ending receivables are defined as the unpaid principal balances of both on- and off-balance sheet loans at the end of the reporting period. The following table presents ending receivables as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

					Change
	2021		2020		$		%
Ending receivables	$	337,529	$	275,670	$	61,859	22.4	%

Ending receivables increased to $337.5 million as of December 31, 2020 from $275.7 million as of December 31, 2020. The 22.4% increase was primarily driven by growth in originations in 2021. Off-balance sheet receivables were $19.7 million as of December 31, 2020, and there were no off-balance sheet receivables as of December 31, 2021.

Average Yield

Average yield represents annualized interest income from the period as a percent of average receivables. Receivables are defined as unpaid principal balances of both on- and off-balance sheet loans. The following tables present average yield for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Year Ended December 31,				Change
	2021		2020		%
Average yield	126.9	%	128.1	%	(0.9)	%

Average yield decreased to 126.9% for the year ended December 31, 2021, from 128.1% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The 0.9% decrease was driven by the introduction of market-based offers in the fourth quarter, which offers qualifying customers to receive a lower APR. Additionally, average yield was driven lower by the expansion of the APR stepdown program through 2021, which rewards eligible customers for making on-time payments by lowering their interest rates in regular intervals.

Net Charge-Offs as a Percentage of Average Receivables

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables represents annualized total charge offs from the period less recoveries as a percent of average receivables. Receivables are defined as unpaid principal of both on- and off-balance sheet loans. Our charge-off policy is based on a review of delinquent finance receivables on a loan by loan basis. Finance receivables are charged off at the earlier of the time when accounts reach 90 days past due on a recency basis, when we receive notification of a customer bankruptcy, or when finance receivables are otherwise deemed uncollectible.

The following tables present net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables annualized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Year Ended December 31,				Change
	2021		2020		%
Net charge-offs as % of average receivables	37.5	%	35.6	%	5.3	%

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables increased by 5.3% to 37.5% for the year ended December 31, 2021, from 35.6% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 reflects a gradual return to normalization of credit towards pre-pandemic levels due to reduced government stimulus from 2020 and the corresponding impact on our customers’ bank balance.

Marketing Cost per Funded Loan

Marketing cost per funded loan represents marketing cost per funded loan for new and refinance loans. This metric is the amount of direct marketing costs incurred during a period divided by the number of loans originated during that same period.

The following tables present marketing cost per funded loan for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Year Ended December 31,				Change
	2021		2020		$		%
Marketing cost per funded loan	$	78	$	62	$	16	25.8	%

Our marketing cost per funded loan increased to $78 for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $62 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The 25.8% increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was driven by the higher mix of new versus refinanced loans year over year as well as a higher Marketing Cost per New Funded Loan as described in the following section.

Marketing Cost per New Funded Loan

Marketing cost per new funded loan represents the amount of direct marketing costs incurred during a period divided by the number of new loans originated during that same period. The following tables present marketing cost per funded loan (new) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Year Ended December 31,				Change
	2021		2020		$		%
Marketing cost per new funded loan	$	254	$	211	$	43	20.4	%

Our marketing cost per new funded loan increased to $254 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $211 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The 20.4% increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was driven by increased mix to the partner channel from lower cost organic channels and higher spend in direct mail as the company pulled back direct mail spending in 2020.

Auto-Approval Rate

Auto-approval rate is calculated by taking the number of approved loans that are not decisioned by a loan advocate or underwriter (auto-approval) divided by the total number of loans approved. The following table presents auto-approval rate as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Year Ended December 31,				Change
	2021		2020		%
Auto-approval rate	60.0	%	25.7	%	133.4	%

Auto-approval rate increased by 133.4% as of December 31, 2021 to 60.0%, from 25.7% as of December 31, 2020, driven by the continued application of algorithmic automation projects that streamline frictional steps of the origination process.

Sales and Servicing Cost per Loan

Sales and servicing cost per loan is calculated by taking the total servicing costs, which include customer center salaries, underwriting and reporting costs, and payment processing fees, divided by the average amount of outstanding loans during that period. The following tables present servicing cost per loan for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Year Ended December 31,				Change
	2021		2020		$		%
Sales and servicing cost per loan	$	159	$	148	$	11	7.4	%

Our sales and servicing cost per loan increased by $11 for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 due to the increase in underwriting costs and payment processing fees tied to the increase in originations. Due to improvements in auto-approval rates, which drove scale to the business, the percentage growth in sales and servicing costs per loan of 7.4% for the year ended December 31, 2021 were significantly lower than total net origination growth of 23.1% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

The following table presents our consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except per number of shares and share data).

(a) Loan related income primarily consists of non-sufficient funds fees, which are immaterial and were discontinued during Q1 2021. Interest income related to finance receivables accounted for under the fair value option is included in “Interest and loan related income, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.
(b) Prior to the reverse recapitalization, all net income was attributable to the noncontrolling interest. For the periods prior to July 20, 2021, earnings per share was not calculated, as net income prior to the Business Combination was attributable entirely to OppFi-LLC.

Total Revenue

Total revenue consists mainly of revenue earned from interest on receivables from outstanding loans based only on the interest method, as well as amortization of loan origination costs in previous periods. We also earn revenue from referral fees related primarily to our turn-up program, which represented less than 0.5 % of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Total revenue increased by $59.6 million, or 20.5%, to $350.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $291.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was due to the removal of the amortization of loan origination costs as a result of the election of the fair value option in 2021 as well as receivables growth in 2021 . Under the fair value option, loan origination costs related to the origination of installment loans are expensed when incurred and are no longer recognized as a part of total revenue.

Change in Fair Value and Total Provision

Commencing on January 1, 2021, we elected the fair value option on the OppLoan installment product. To derive the fair value, we generally utilize discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that we believe a market participant would require based on the risk characteristics of the loans. We did not elect the fair value option on our SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables as these products launched in November 2020 and August 2021, respectively, and inputs for fair value are not yet determined. Accordingly, the related finance receivables are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, change in fair value consists of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in the fair value on the installment loans portfolio. Change in fair value totaled $86.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was comprised of $103.5 million of net charge-offs, partially offset by a fair market value adjustment of $17.6 million. The fair value adjustment had a positive impact due to the increase in receivables in the period and an increase in the fair value mark. The fair value mark improved due to an increase in the remaining life of the portfolio driven by a younger portfolio from origination growth in the period, as well as an increase in the weighted average interest rate of the portfolio driven by the higher mix of bank partner originated loans and a lower volume of customers on assistance programs.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, total provision consists of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in the allowance for credit losses for our SalaryTap and OppFi Card products. For the year ended December 31, 2020, total provision consists of gross charge-offs incurred in the period, net of recoveries, plus the change in the allowance for credit losses for the OppLoan product as this was the only product for the Company during 2020 and the Company utilized incurred credit loss application method prior to electing the fair value option on January 1, 2021. Starting January 1, 2021, our provision for future losses is based on estimated credit loss application whereby it reserves for life of loan losses.

Net Revenue

Net revenue is equal to total revenue less the change in fair value and less total provision costs. Total net revenue increased by $63.5 million, or 31.7%, to $263.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $200.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was attributable to the removal of the amortization of loan origination costs from total revenue as a result of the election of the fair value option in 2021 and growth in receivables from the prior year.

Expenses

Expenses includes salaries and employee benefits, interest expense and amortized debt issuance costs, servicing costs, direct marketing costs, technology costs, depreciation and amortization, professional fees and other expenses.

Expenses increased by $83.7 million, or 68.2%, to $206.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $122.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This was primarily due to higher marketing costs due to higher originations, an increase in salaries and employee benefits related to additional headcount, technology infrastructure costs and professional fees related to investments to support the company's augmentation of internal controls, operational risk and compliance functions, insurance expenses as the company transitioned to becoming a public entity, and the impact of the 2021 election of fair value option. As a result of the election of the fair value option, loan origination costs, including direct marketing costs and payment processing fees related to the origination of the OppLoan product, are recognized as expenses when incurred and are no longer recognized as an offset to total revenue.

Income from Operations

Income from operations is the difference between net revenue and expenses. Total income from operations decreased by $20.3 million, or 26.1%, to $57.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $77.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Other Income (Expenses)

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2021 included the gain from forgiveness of an unsecured loan of $6.4 million in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan. Additionally, other income included the change in fair value of the warrant liability in the amount of $26.4 million. This warrant liability arose with respect to warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of FGNA and is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date.

Income Before Income Tax

Income before income tax is the difference between net revenue and expenses. Income before income tax increased by $12.6 million, or 16.2%, to $90.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $77.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Income Tax

OppFi Inc. recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and no expense for the year ended December 31, 2020. As noted above, OppFi-LLC is treated as a partnership and is not subject to income taxes; prior to the consummation of the Business Combination on July 20, 2021, there were no taxes attributable to OppFi Inc. as OppFi-LLC was the only reportable entity.

Net Income

Net income increased by $12.3 million, or 15.8%, to $89.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $77.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Net Income Attributable to OppFi Inc.

Net income attributable to OppFi Inc. was $25.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net income attributable to OppFi Inc. represents the income solely attributable to stockholders of OppFi Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2021. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination on July 20, 2021, there was no income attributable to OppFi Inc. as OppFi-LLC was the only reportable entity.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We believe that the provision of non-GAAP financial measures in this prospectus, including Fair Value Pro Forma information, Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Basic and Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA (and margin thereof), and Adjusted Net Income (and margin thereof) can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business and useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results. However, non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with United States GAAP measures, should not be considered an alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies.

Fair Value Pro Forma

On January 1, 2021, we elected the fair value option for our OppLoan product. Accordingly, the related finance receivables are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the changes in fair value are included in the consolidated statements of operations. To derive the fair value, OppFi generally utilizes discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that OppFi believes a market participant would require. Accrued interest and fees are included in “Finance receivables” in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is included in “Interest and loan related income, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. We have adjusted 2020 financials based on applying the fair value option in order to provide comparability to 2021 financials.

Adjusted Revenue

Adjusted revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as our total revenue, as reported, adjusted for the impact of amortization of loan origination costs. Under the fair value option, loan origination costs related to the origination of installment loans are expensed when incurred and are no longer recognized as a part of total revenue. We believe that adjusted revenue is an important measure because it allows management, investors, and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our revenue for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of differing accounting methodologies.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure defined as our GAAP net income, adjusted for the impact of our election of the fair value option, further adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as shown below as well as adjusting taxes for comparison purposes. We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an important measure because it allows management, investors, and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our operating results from period-to-period by making the adjustments described below.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as our adjusted net income, and adjusted for the items as shown below including taxes, depreciation and amortization and interest expense. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure because it allows management, investors, and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our operating results from period-

to-period by making the adjustments described below. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of taxes, certain non-cash items, variable charges, and timing differences.

Condensed Balance Sheets

Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Total liabilities and stockholders' equity /members’ equity	$	502,106	$	285,843	$	216,263	75.7	%

Total cash and restricted cash increased by $16.7 million as of December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020, driven by free cash flow from operations as well as increased borrowings under the Atalaya Credit Agreement and higher utilization of senior debt to finance receivables growth, transaction expenses, and tax distribution. Finance receivables as of December 31, 2021 increased compared to December 31, 2020 due to higher unpaid on-balance sheet principal balances as well as the election of the fair value option in 2021. Other assets as of December 31, 2021 increased by $33.7 million compared to December 31, 2020, driven by the addition of a deferred tax asset of $25.6 million related to the Business Combination, as well as $5.1 million largely consisting of prepaid expenses and $4.1 million of property, equipment and capitalized technology costs, partially offset by $1.1 million of debt issuance costs.

Other liabilities increased by $30.6 million driven by a tax receivable agreement liability in connection with the business combination with a balance of $23.3 million as of December 31, 2021. Total debt increased by $115.9 million driven by an increase in utilization of leverage facilities of $49.3 million and a $24.8 million net impact of the corporate credit facility refinancing, offset by $6.4 million of loan forgiveness of the PPP loan. Total equity increased by $58.5 million driven by net income of $89.8 million and impact of adoption of the fair value method of accounting of $69.4 million, partially offset by net distributions and transaction related adjustments to equity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To date, the funds received from operating income and our ability to obtain lending commitments have provided the liquidity necessary for us to fund our operations.

Maturities of our financing facilities are staggered over three years to help minimize refinance risk.

The following table presents our unrestricted cash and undrawn debt as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

	December 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Unrestricted cash	$	25,064	$	25,601
Undrawn debt	$	158,100	$	338,108

As of December 31, 2021, we had $25.1 million in unrestricted cash, a decrease of $0.5 million from December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, we had an additional $158.1 million of unused debt capacity under our financing facilities for future availability, representing a 38 % overall undrawn capacity, a decrease from $338.1 million as of December 31, 2020. The reduction in undrawn debt was due to funding of receivables growth, transaction expenses related to the Business Combination, and tax distributions covering the full year 2020 and 2021 annual estimates. Including total financing commitments of $411 million, and cash on the balance sheet of $62.4 million, we had approximately $473 million in funding capacity as of December 31, 2021.

We do not believe it is likely that a Warrant holder would elect to exercise their Warrants when our Class A Common Stock is trading below $11.50, or $15.00 in the case of the $15 Exercise Price Warrants, and any cash proceeds that would be received by the is dependent on the trading price of the Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants. We do not believe that the Warrant holders’ failure to exercise Warrants for cash would have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position or result of operations.

We believe that our unrestricted cash, undrawn debt and funds from operating income will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months from March 11, 2022. Our future capital requirements will depend on multiple factors, including our revenue growth, aggregate receivables balance, interest expense, working capital requirements, cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities and capital expenditures.

To the extent our unrestricted cash balances, funds from operating income and funds from undrawn debt are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs in the future, we may need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing and may not be able to do so on terms acceptable to it, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely impacted.

Cash Flows

The following table presents cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,				Change

Operating Activities

This was a decrease of $24.8 million when compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $192.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Cash provided by operating activities decreased due to higher expenses in 2021, driven by higher marketing costs due to higher originations, as well as an increase in salaries and employee benefits, and increased investment in technology infrastructure.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $199.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This was an increase of $101.2 million when compared to net cash used in investing activities of $98.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, due to higher finance receivables originated and acquired, partially offset by higher finance receivables repaid.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $48.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This was an increase of $133.0 million when compared to net cash used in financing activities of $84.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in net advances in borrowings, partially offset by an increase in member distributions and capitalized transaction costs.

Financing Arrangements

Our corporate credit facilities consist of term loans and revolving loan facilities that we have drawn on to finance our operations and for other corporate purposes. These borrowings are generally secured by all the assets of OppFi-LLC that have not otherwise been sold or pledged to secure our structured finance facilities, such as assets belonging to certain of the special purpose entity subsidiaries of OppFi-LLC (“SPEs”). In addition, we, through our SPEs, have entered into warehouse credit facilities to partially finance the origination of loans by us on our platform or the purchase of participation rights in loans originated by our bank partners through our platform, which credit facilities are secured by the loans or participation rights.

LIBOR Transition

In July 2017, the FCA, which regulates LIBOR, announced its intention to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. On December 31, 2021, IBA, the administrator of LIBOR, announced plans to cease publication for all USD LIBOR tenors (except the one- and two-week tenors, which ceased on December 31, 2021) on June 30, 2023. The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York have identified the SOFR as its preferred alternative to LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. Each of our credit facilities provides for the replacement of LIBOR as discussed above in “Financing Arrangements.” We do not expect the replacement of LIBOR to have any effect on our liquidity or the financial terms of our credit facilities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In Texas and Ohio, OppFi-LLC previously arranged for consumers to obtain finance receivable products from independent third-party lenders as part of the Credit Access Business and Credit Service Organization programs (collectively, the “CSO Program”). For the consumer finance receivable products originated by the third-party lenders under the CSO Program, the lenders were responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer's application was underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the finance receivable. When a consumer executed an agreement with OppFi-LLC under the CSO Program, OppFi-LLC agreed, for a fee payable to OppFi-LLC by the consumer, to provide certain services to the consumer, one of which was to guarantee the consumer's obligation to repay the finance receivable obtained by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer failed to do so.

On April 23, 2019, the Company discontinued the CSO Program in Ohio and no new finance receivables were originated through this program after that date. As of December 31, 2021, there were no finance receivables remaining under the CSO Program in Ohio.

On March 19, 2021, the Company discontinued the CSO Program in Texas. As of December 31, 2021, there were no finance receivables remaining under the CSO Program in Texas.

The guarantees represented an obligation to purchase specific finance receivables that are delinquent, secured by a collateral account established in favor of the respective lenders.

As of December 31, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of off-balance sheet active finance receivables which were guaranteed by the Company was $19.7 million. Upon the election of the fair value option for installment loan finance receivables on January 1, 2021, the Company released the reserve for repurchase liabilities as the income rights and related losses were included in the valuation of finance receivables at fair value, which was included in the fair value adjustment to retained earnings. As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a reserve for repurchase liabilities of $4.2 million, which represents the liability for estimated losses on finance receivables guaranteed. The Company used a similar methodology for determining the reserve for repurchase liabilities as it does for calculating the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables.

Under the terms of the CSO Program, the Company was required to maintain a restricted cash balance equal to the guaranty, which is determined and settled on a weekly basis. On a daily basis, a receivable and/or payable is recorded to recognize the outstanding settlement balance. As of December 31, 2020, the restricted cash balance held in a federally insured bank account related to the CSO Program was $3.1 million. As of December 31, 2020, there was a payable balance of $0.8 million related to settlement which was included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires OppFi to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and related disclosures. OppFi bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances, results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are differences

between OppFi’s estimates and actual results, OppFi’s future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

Accounting policies, as described in detail in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are an integral part of the OppFi’s consolidated financial statements. A thorough understanding of these accounting policies is essential when reviewing OppFi’s reported results of operations and financial position. Management believes that the critical accounting policies and estimates listed below require OppFi to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.

•Valuation of installment finance receivables accounted for under the fair value option;

•Determination of the allowance for credit losses; and

•Valuation of the public and private warrants

Fair value is the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Fair value is determined using different inputs and assumptions based upon the instrument being valued. Where observable market prices from transactions for identical assets or liabilities are not available, we identify market prices for similar assets or liabilities. If observable market prices are unavailable or impracticable to obtain for any such similar assets or liabilities, we look to other modeling techniques, which often incorporate unobservable inputs which are inherently subjective and require significant judgment. Fair value estimates requiring significant judgments are determined using various inputs developed by management with the appropriate skills, understanding and knowledge of the underlying asset or liability to ensure the development of fair value estimates is reasonable. In certain cases, our assessments, with respect to assumptions market participants would make, may be inherently difficult to determine, and the use of different assumptions could result in material changes to these fair value measurements.

Installment Finance Receivables: To derive the fair value, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require.

The following describes the primary inputs to the discounted cash flow analyses that require significant judgement:

•Discount rate: The discount rate utilized in the discounted cash flow analyses reflects our estimate of the rate of return that a market participant would require when investing in financial instruments with similar risk and return characteristics.

•Servicing cost: The servicing cost percentage that is applied to portfolio’s expected cash flows reflects our estimate of the amount we would incur to service the underlying assets over the assets’ remaining lives. Servicing costs are derived from an internal analysis of our cost structure considering the characteristics of our installment finance receivables and have been benchmarked against observable information on comparable assets in the marketplace.

•Remaining life: Remaining life is the time weighted average of the estimated principal payments divided by the principal balance at the measurement date. The timing of estimated principal payments is impacted by scheduled amortization of loans, charge-offs, and prepayments.

•Default rate: The default rate reflects our estimate of principal payments that will not be repaid over the remaining life of an installment finance receivable. Charge-off expectations are developed using the historical performance of our installment finance receivable portfolio but also incorporate discretionary adjustments based on our expectations of future credit performance.

•Prepayment rate: The prepayment rate is the estimated percentage of principal payments that will occur earlier than contractually required over the remaining life of an installment finance receivable. Prepayments accelerate the timing of principal repayment and reduce interest payments. Prepayment rates in our discounted cash flow models are developed using historical results but may also incorporate discretionary adjustments based on our expectations of future performance.

Warrants: OppFi holds public and private placement warrants that are recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets. These liabilities are subjected to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and are recorded at fair value. We value Public Warrants at market price based on a quoted price in the marketplace. For Private Placement Warrants, Private Units Warrants and Underwriter Warrants, we estimate the fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This model utilizes unobservable inputs, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected term. These inputs may be influenced by several factors that can change significantly and are difficult to predict. These estimates are inherently risky and require significant judgment on the part of management.

Allowance for Credit Losses: Effective, January 1, 2021, OppFi adopted ASU 2016-13, replacing their incurred loss impairment methodology with the current expected credit losses methodology for their SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables. The allowance for credit losses represents management’s best estimate of current expected credit losses over the life of these portfolios. Estimating credit losses requires judgment in determining loan specific attributes impacting the borrower’s ability to repay contractual obligations. The allowance for credit losses is assessed at each balance sheet date and adjustments are recorded in the provision for credit losses on finance receivables. The allowance is currently estimated using market data for determining anticipated credit losses of its SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables until sufficient internal data exists. Management believes its allowance is adequate to absorb the expected life of loan credit losses as of the balance sheet date. Actual losses incurred may differ materially from management’s estimates.

Changes in these estimates, that are likely to occur from period to period, or the use of different estimates that the Company could have reasonably used in the current period, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Family Relationships

Mr. Todd Schwartz, our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is the son of Mr. Theodore Schwartz, a director of the Company.

Board Composition

Our business affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. The Board consists of seven directors, divided into three classes of staggered three-year terms.

The Company has entered into the Investor Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the SCG Holders’ Representative had the right to nominate five directors to the Board, two of which qualify as NYSE Independent, and who initially were Theodore Schwartz, Todd Schwartz, David Vennettilli, Christina Favilla and Jocelyn Moore. The Investor Rights Agreement also provided that remainder of the directors would be Jared Kaplan, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and one additional director who qualifies as NYSE Independent chosen by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, who initially was Greg Zeeman.

The Board is divided into three staggered classes of directors. At each annual meeting of its 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, whose terms will expire in 2022, are Christina Favilla, Jocelyn Moore and Theodore Schwartz;

•the Class II directors, whose term will expire in 2023, are Jared Kaplan and Greg Zeeman; and

•the Class III directors, whose terms will expire in 2024, are David Vennettilli and Todd Schwartz.

The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that at each meeting at which directors are to be elected, the Company shall take such necessary action to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors (i) five directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 50% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (ii) four directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 40% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (iii) three directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 30% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (iv) three directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 30% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (v) two directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 20% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, and (vi) one director chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 5% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors.

Additionally, for so long as the Company is a “controlled company” under the rules of the NYSE, the SCG Holders’ Representative will have the right to nominate a majority of each committee of the Board, and if the Company ceases to be a “controlled company” to nominate members of each committee proportional to the share of directors nominated by the SCG Holders.

Controlled Company Exception

We are a “controlled company” under the rules of the NYSE. As a result, we qualify for exemptions from, and may elect not to comply with, certain corporate governance requirements under NYSE’s corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that we have a board that is composed of a majority of NYSE Independent directors and a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee that are composed entirely of independent directors. Even though we are a controlled company, we are required to comply with the rules of the SEC and the NYSE relating to the membership, qualifications and operations of the audit committee of the Board, as discussed below.

The rules of the NYSE define a “controlled company” as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company. The Members beneficially own approximately 87.6% of the combined voting power of the Common Stock. Accordingly, we qualify as a “controlled company” and will be able to rely on the controlled company exemption from the director independence requirements of the NYSE relating to the board of directors, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. See “Risk Factors— In connection with the business combination, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE rules and, as a result, will be exempt from certain corporate governance requirements.” As a result, we qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance standards. Specifically, we currently do not have a majority of NYSE Independent directors on our Board, and the compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees of the Board do not currently consist entirely of independent directors. You will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. If we cease to be a controlled company and our Class A Common Stock continues to be listed on NYSE, we will be required to comply with these requirements by the date our status as a controlled company changes or within specified transition periods applicable to certain provisions, as the case may be.

Independence of Directors

A director will only qualify as NYSE Independent if, in the opinion of the Board, 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. To qualify as intendent, compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE.

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of the NYSE (“Audit Committee Independent”), 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: (i) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (ii) 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 (“Compensation Committee Independent”), 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.

The Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director has a relationship with us 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 Christina Favilla, Jocelyn Moore and Greg Zeeman are NYSE Independent, representing three of our seven directors.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The standing committees of the Board currently include an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Each of the committees report to the Board as they deem appropriate and as the Board may request. The initial composition, duties and responsibilities of these committees are set forth below.

Audit Committee

The principal functions of the audit committee include, among other things:

•assisting board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm, the

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of any entity that has one or more executive officers on our compensation committee or Board.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to our directors, executive officers and employees that complies with the rules and regulations of the NYSE, which is available on our website (oppfi.com). We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics by posting on our corporate website (oppfi.com). The information on our website does not constitute part of this prospectus.

Board Leadership Structure and Oversight of Risk

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if the Chair of the Board is a member of management or does not otherwise qualify as independent, the independent directors may elect from among themselves a lead independent director (the “Lead Director”). The Lead Director’s responsibilities include but are not limited to: calling and chairing over regularly scheduled executive sessions of the independent directors and acting as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board. As of the date hereof, the independent directors have designated Ms. Jocelyn Moore as the Lead Director.

We believe that the structure of our Board and its committees provides strong overall oversight, guidance and management of the Company. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of our Company. The structure of the Board as currently constituted provides that the principal executive officer and Chair of the Board to be the same person, Mr. Todd Schwartz, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board. Our Board is comprised of individuals with extensive experience in corporate governance and public company management. For these reasons and because of the strong leadership of Mr. Todd Schwartz, our Board has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time. However, our Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate.

Additionally, we do not anticipate having a standing risk management committee, but rather anticipate administering this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our Charter and the Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the officers and directors of the Company will be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as it now exists or may in the future be amended, for any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding relating to any such officer’s or director’s service to the Company. Our Charter and the Amended and Restated Bylaws also require the Company to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit the Company to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In addition, our Charter provides that directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the Company or its stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless such directors violated their duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

Additionally, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company is required to maintain all such indemnification provisions in the Charter and the Amended and Restated Bylaws until at least the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, including in the event of any change in control of the Company.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for our named executive officers who are identified in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table below, who are also the named executive officers of OppFi.

Overview

We have opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to smaller reporting companies. The scaled down disclosure rules require compensation disclosure for OppFi’s principal executive officer and its two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer whose total compensation for 2021 exceeded $100,000 and who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2021. We refer to these individuals as “named executive officers.” For 2021, OppFi’s named executive officers were:

•Jared Kaplan, former Chief Executive Officer

•Neville Crawley, former Chief Executive Officer and President

•Shiven Shah, former Chief Financial Officer

2021 Compensation of Named Executive Officers

Base Salary

Base salaries are intended to provide a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain an effective management team, when considered in combination with the other components of the executive compensation program. In general, we seek to provide a base salary level designed to reflect each executive officer’s scope of responsibility and accountability. See the “Salary” column in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table for the base salary amounts earned by the named executive officers in 2021.

Bonuses

Bonus compensation is designed to hold executives accountable, reward executives based on actual business results and help create a “pay for performance” culture. Each named executive officer’s employment agreement set the target bonus as a percentage of base salary. In April 2021, a bonus plan (the “2021 Bonus Plan”) was designed for the Company and implemented following the Closing. The 2021 Bonus Plan established the bonus metrics for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 for our named executive officers and provided that 75% of the bonus for each named executive officer would be awarded based on the achievement certain financial metrics identified under the 2021 Bonus Plan, with a payout floor of 75% of each metric to be achieved for any payment and a payout cap of 200% on each metric. Additionally, the failure to achieve the payout floor of 75% on any metric would reduce the payout cap for all other metrics to 125%. The 2021 Bonus Plan also provided that 25% of the bonus would be awarded based on the achievement of management business objectives. See the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards” column in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table for the bonus amounts earned by the named executive officers in 2021 under the 2021 Bonus Plan.

Equity Awards

The OppFi Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan

On July 20, 2021, the Company established the OppFi Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for the grant of awards in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards, and other stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors, officers, and consultants. As of December 31, 2021, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan was 11,500,000 shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares became subject to annual increases beginning on January 1, 2022 and continuing on the first day of each subsequent fiscal year through and including the tenth anniversary of the commencement of the initial annual increase, equal to the lesser of two percent of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at the conclusion of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, or an amount determined by the Company’s Board.

Stock options granted to date under the Plan (“Options”) generally vest over four years with 25% of stock options vesting on the first anniversary of the grant and the remaining 75% vesting quarterly over the remaining 36 months. Under the terms of the Plan, option holders generally have a 10-year period to exercise the options before they expire.

Restricted stock units granted to employees and executive officers to date (“RSUs”) generally vest over four years with 25% of the RSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the grant and the remaining 75% vesting quarterly over the remaining 36 months. RSUs granted to directors to date vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of grant or the date of the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders.

Performance stock units granted as RSUs with performance based vesting conditions to executive officers to date (“PSUs”) generally vest over four years, subject to the achievement of specified performance targets.

See the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the awards received by the named executive officers in 2021.

The OppFi Management Holdings, LLC Profits Interest Plan

Prior to the Closing, OppFi-LLC granted equity compensation in the form of profits interests as Class A shares (“Class A Shares”) of OppFi Management Holdings, LLC (“OFMH”), pursuant to the OppFi Management Holdings, LLC Profits Interest Plan (the “OFMH Management Plan”). In 2021, no Class A Shares were granted, and all existing Class A Shares were recapitalized in connection with the Closing. Class A Shares are subject to time-based and performance-based vesting criteria. 100% of any unvested time-based interests will accelerate in the event of a “Sale of the Company,” which is generally defined as a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of OppFi-LLC and its subsidiaries to an independent third party, any merger, consolidation or reorganization to which OppFi-LLC and an independent third party are parties, except for a merger, consolidation or reorganization in which, after giving effect to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, the holders of OppFi-LLC’s outstanding securities (on a fully-diluted basis) immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or reorganization will own, directly or indirectly, immediately following the merger, consolidation or reorganization, securities holding a majority of the voting power of OppFi-LLC, or (c) any sale, transfer or issuance or series of sales, transfers and/or issuances of OppFi-LLC’s securities which results in any independent third party owning a majority of the voting securities of OppFi-LLC. The Business Combination did not constitute a Sale of OppFi-LLC. Accordingly, none of the Class A Shares vested in connection with the Closing.

Under the OFMH Management Plan, 100% of any performance-based interests become fully vested upon the earlier to occur of (i) a Sale of the Company in which interest holders of preferred shares and the named executive officer receive distributions of at least $75 million or (ii) any time after the grant date and prior to a Sale of the Company, interest holders of preferred shares and the named executive officer receive distributions of at least $50 million, (clauses (i) an (ii), the “Performance Vesting Triggers”). All performance-based interests vested prior to the Closing because interest holders of preferred shares received distributions of at least $50 million prior to the Closing.

Perquisites

OppFi maintains a 401(k) plan for its employees, including its executive officers, to encourage its employees to save some portion of their cash compensation for their eventual retirement. Pursuant to a discretionary employer match, during 2021, OppFi matched all employee contributions at (i) 100% of the employee’s contribution up to a limit of 3% of the employee’s eligible compensation and (ii) 50% of the employee’s contribution between 3-5% up to a maximum of 4% of the employee’s eligible compensation.

Director Compensation For Fiscal 2021

Following the Closing, we adopted a new Board compensation program (the “Director Compensation Program”) that is designed to provide competitive compensation necessary to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors and to encourage their ownership of our stock to further align their interests with those of our stockholders.

The Director Compensation Program provides an annual equity retainer with a grant date fair value equal to $150,000 to our eligible directors. This annual retainer is paid in the form of restricted stock units of the Company, which will vest in its entirety into shares of our Class A Common Stock on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the date of grant or (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date, subject to continued service. With respect to the directors’ compensation for the period from the Closing through the December 31, 2021, we granted the eligible directors a prorated annual retainer to reflect the shortened service period.

The Director Compensation Program also provides for quarterly cash payments in the annualized amount of (i) a $50,000 retainer for service on the Board, (ii) a $45,000 retainer for service as Executive Chairman of the Board, (iii) a $25,000 retainer for service as lead independent director, (iv) a $8,000 retainer ($18,000 for the chair) for service on the Compensation Committee, (v) a $10,000 retainer ($22,500 for the chair) for service on the Audit Committee and (vi) a $7,000 retainer ($12,000 for the chair) for service on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Tax Receivable Agreement may be terminated if (i) the Company exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of the agreed payments remaining to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, discounted at the Early Termination Rate (as defined therein), (ii) there is a change of control, or (iii) the Company materially breaches any of the material obligations of the Tax Receivable Agreement. Upon early termination by change of control or material breach, all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if the Company had delivered an early termination notice on the date of such change of control or material breach.

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that in the event of a change of control, the TRA Party Representative (as defined therein) will have the option to accelerate the unpaid obligations of the Company as calculated in accordance with certain valuation assumptions, including that the Company will have taxable income sufficient to fully utilize the tax items, including deductions, arising from certain basis adjustments and any deduction attributable to any payment made under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

In the event that (i) the Company exercises its early termination rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) certain changes of control in the Company or OppFi-LLC occur, (iii) the Company, in certain circumstances, fails to make a payment required to be made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement by the applicable final payment date, which non-payment continues for 30 days following such final payment date, or (iv) the Company materially breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement other than as described in the foregoing clause (iii), which breach continues without cure for 30 days following receipt by the Company of written notice thereof and written notice of acceleration is received by the Company thereafter (except that in the case that the Tax Receivable Agreement is rejected in a case commenced under bankruptcy laws, no written notice of acceleration is required), in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), unless certain liquidity

exceptions apply, the Company’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will accelerate, and the Company will be required to make a lump-sum cash payment to the Members and/or other applicable parties.

Indemnification Arrangements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers, which provide for indemnification and advancements of certain expenses and costs if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement in a matter was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or was serving at the Company’s request in an official capacity for another entity, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. The form of indemnification agreement is included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Effective at the Closing, the Board adopted a written related person transaction policy that set forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. The Company’s policy requires that a “related person” (as defined in paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K) must promptly disclose to the Company’s general counsel any “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction that is reportable by the Company under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which the Company is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest) and all material facts with respect thereto. The general counsel will promptly communicate such information to the Company’s audit committee or another independent body of our Board. No related person transaction will be entered into without the approval or ratification of our audit committee or another independent body of our Board. It is the Company’s policy that directors interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any such vote. The Company’s policy does not specify the standards to be applied by its audit committee or another independent body of its board of directors in determining whether or not to approve or ratify a related person transaction, although such determinations will be made in accordance with Delaware law.

In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person in the table below, all shares subject to options, warrants and exchange rights units held by such person were deemed outstanding if such securities are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 29, 2022. These shares were not deemed outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The following table also includes Retained OppFi Units (and Earnout Units) that may be exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of Exchange Rights, whether or not such Exchange Rights are or may be exercisable within 60 days of April 29, 2022.

The Selling Securityholders acquired the shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants from us in private offerings, each pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and the Warrant Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC for the purposes of registering for resale certain of the shares of our Class A Common Stock, and the Private Placement Warrants (and shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants), issued to the Selling Securityholders, as further detailed in “Certain Relationships with Selling Securityholders” below.

The following table sets forth, based on written representations from the Selling Securityholders, certain information as of April 11, 2022 regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants by the Selling Securityholders and the shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants being offered by the Selling Securityholders. The applicable percentage ownership of Class A Common Stock is based on approximately 13,349,148 shares of Class A Common Stock and 96,338,476 shares of Class V Voting Stock outstanding as of April 11, 2022.

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain officers and directors of FGNA (including the Founder Holders), the Sponsor, FGNA, OppFi and the Members’ Representative entered into the Amended Sponsor Letter, pursuant to which, among other things, the Founder Holders agreed to waive any and all anti-dilution rights described in FGNA’s charter or otherwise with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock (that formerly constituted shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Founder Holders) held by the Founder Holders that would have been implicated by the Business Combination such that the conversion of Class B Common Stock occurred on a one-for-one basis (and as more fully described in the Amended Sponsor Letter).

Waiver Letter

On July 15, 2021, the Company, OppFi-LLC, OFS and the Members’ Representative signed the Waiver Letter, pursuant to which, among other things, OppFi-LLC agreed to waive the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.1(c)(iii) of the Business Combination Agreement, which required there to be no less than $200,000,000 of Available Closing Cash (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) at Closing, but only to the extent that Available Closing Cash was not less than $83,000,000, and to revise the form of the Investor Rights Agreement to permit the additional equity in the Company and OppFi-LLC issued in lieu of cash as a result of the foregoing waiver to be excluded from the lock-up provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement (in each case as more fully described in the Waiver Letter).

Sponsor Forfeiture Agreement

In connection with the signing of the Waiver Letter, on July 15, 2021, the Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Forfeiture Agreement with FGNA and OppFi, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to forfeit: (i) 2,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, (ii) 1,600,000 Founder Warrants and (iii) 600,000 $15.00 Exercise Price Warrants, held by it, immediately prior to and contingent upon the Closing.

Investor Rights Agreement

At the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor and the other Founder Holders, the Members, and certain other parties entered into the Investor Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, among other things, (i) the Company, the Founder Holders and certain other parties terminated that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2020, entered into by them in connection with FGNA’s initial public offering, (ii) the Members’ Representative will have the right to nominate five directors to the Board, subject to certain independence and holdings requirements, (iii) the Company agreed to provide certain registration rights for the shares of Class A Common Stock held by or issuable to the Members, the Founder Holders and certain other parties, and (iv) a certain Founder Holder and the Members agreed not to transfer, sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of the shares of Class A Common Stock and the OppFi Units held by such Founder Holder or such Members, as applicable, for twenty-four months and nine months, respectively, following the Closing, subject to certain exceptions, including with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of the Initial Shares.

Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OppFi

Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company, OppFi-LLC and the Members entered into the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA, which, among other things, (i) provided for a recapitalization of the ownership structure of OppFi-LLC, whereby following the execution of the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA, the ownership structure of OppFi-LLC consists solely of the OppFi Units, (ii) designated the Company as the sole manager of OppFi-LLC, (iii) provides that beginning on the nine month anniversary of the Closing (unless otherwise waived by the Company, or, with respect to the Initial Shares, following the registration under the Securities Act of such shares), the Members may exercise the Exchange Rights, and (iv) otherwise amended and restated the rights and preferences of the OppFi Units, in each case, as more fully described in the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA.

The Exchange Rights entitle the Members to exchange each Retained OppFi Unit, subject to certain conditions, for either one share of Class A Common Stock or, at the election of the Company in its capacity as the sole manager of OppFi, the cash equivalent of the market value of one share of Class A Common Stock, and a share of Class V Voting Stock will be forfeited for each Retained OppFi Unit upon the exercise of Exchange Rights for each such Retained OppFi Unit. Accordingly, because 96,987,093 shares of Class V Voting Stock were issued for approximately $714,870,950 in consideration under the Business Combination Agreement, or approximately $7.37 per share of Class V Voting Stock, the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the Exchange Rights provided under the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA will have an effective per share price of $7.37 per share.

Beginning on the nine month anniversary of the Closing, unless earlier waived by the Company in its capacity as the sole manager of OppFi-LLC, each Retained OppFi Unit held by the Members may be exchanged, upon the exercise of the Members Exchange Rights, for either one share of Class A Common Stock or, at the election of the Company in its capacity as the sole manager of OppFi-LLC, the cash equivalent of the market value of one share of Class A Common Stock, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the OppFi-LLC A&R LLCA, in each case as more fully described in the Investor Rights Agreement; provided that, such lock-up applicable to Earnout Units shall not end prior to the date that such Earnout Units are earned in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement. For each Retained OppFi Unit so exchanged, one share of the Class V Voting Stock will be canceled by the Company.

Common Stock

Our Common Stock consists of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class V Voting Stock.

Voting Power

Except as described below or otherwise required by law or the Charter (including any preferred stock designation), the holders of Common Stock exclusively possess all voting power with respect to the Company. Except as described below or otherwise required by law or the Charter (including any preferred stock designation), the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to vote. Subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, and except as described below or otherwise required by law or the Charter (including any preferred stock designation), at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, holders of the Class A Common Stock, holders of the Class B Common Stock and holders of the Class V Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law or the Charter (including any preferred stock designation), holders of shares of any series of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Charter (including any amendment to any preferred stock designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock or other series of Common Stock if the holders of such affected series of preferred stock or Common Stock, as applicable, are entitled exclusively, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Charter (including any preferred stock designation) or the DGCL.

Additionally, pursuant to the Charter: (i) special meetings of stockholders of the Company may be called (A) by the Chairman of the Board, (B) by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (C) by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board and (D) at any time when the SCG Holders beneficially own, in the aggregate, 35% or more of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, by a representative of the SCG Holders; (ii) at any time when the SCG Holders beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 35% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company’s stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by written consent of the Company’s stockholders, provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of preferred stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable certificate of designation relating to such series of preferred stock; (iii) at any time when the SCG Holders beneficially own, in the aggregate, 35% or more of the voting power of the stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled by (A) the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of all then outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class, (B) the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum or (C) a sole remaining director, and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal, provided, however, that at any time when the SCG Holders beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 35% of the voting power of the stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any such newly created directorships and vacancies shall be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders); and (iv) at any time when the SCG Holders beneficially own, in the aggregate, 35% or more of the voting power of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, either with or without cause and only by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of all then outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class, provided, however, that at any time when the SCG Holders beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 35% of the voting power of the stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any such director or all such directors may be removed at any time but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of all then outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class.

Class B Common Stock

All shares of Class B Common Stock converted into shares of Class A Common Stock one a one-for-one basis in connection with the Closing, and following the Closing, 6,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock remained authorized with no shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.

Dividends

Our “Economic Common Stock” means Class A Common Stock together with Class B Common Stock. Subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock and the provisions of the Charter, holders of shares of Economic Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Company), when, as and if declared thereon by our Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Company legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions. Dividends or distributions of cash, property or shares of capital stock of the Company may not be declared or paid on the Class V Voting Stock. Further, our ability to declare dividends is currently limited by restrictive covenants in connection with various credit facilities.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

Subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock and the provisions of the Charter, in the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company, the holders of shares of Economic Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Economic Common Stock held by them. The holders of shares of Class V Voting Stock will not be entitled to receive, with respect of such shares, any assets of the Company in excess of the par value thereof, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company.

Preemptive or Other Rights

Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to our Common Stock following the Closing.

Election of Directors

Our Board is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to the first annual meeting of stockholders of the Company post-Business Combination) generally serving a term. Class I directors will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing, Class II directors will serve until the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing and Class III directors will serve until the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors, subject to the Investor Rights Agreement, as described below.

The Company has entered into the Investor Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the SCG Holders’ Representative has have the right to nominate five directors to the Board, two of which qualify as NYSE Independent, and who shall initially be Theodore Schwartz, Todd Schwartz, David Vennettilli, Christina Favilla and Jocelyn Moore. The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that remainder of the directors shall be Jared Kaplan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and one additional director who qualifies as NYSE Independent chosen by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, who shall initially be Greg Zeeman.

At each annual meeting of its 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, whose terms will expire in 2022, are Christina Favilla, Jocelyn Moore and Theodore Schwartz;

•the Class II directors, whose terms will expire in 2023, are Jared Kaplan and Greg Zeeman; and

•the Class III directors, whose terms will expire in 2024, are David Vennettilli and Todd Schwartz.

The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that at each meeting at which directors are to be elected, the Company shall take such necessary action to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors that will result in, if such directors are elected, (i) five directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 50% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (ii) four directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 40% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (iii) three directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 30% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (iv) three directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 30% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, (v) two directors chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 20% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors and (vi) one director chosen by the SCG Holders’ Representative as long as the SCG Holders have at least of 5% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors. For so long as the Company is a “controlled company” under the rules of the NYSE, the SCG Holders’ Representative will have the right to nominate a majority of each committee of the Board, and if the Company ceases to be a “controlled company” to nominate members of each committee proportional to the share of directors nominated by the SCG Holders.

Preferred Stock

The Charter provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our Board is able, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Common Stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.

Warrants

Public Stockholders’ Warrants

Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO and 30 days after the completion of the Closing, provided in each case that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants

and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the Warrant Agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the holder of a Public Warrant may exercise its Public Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. This means only a whole Warrant may be exercised at a given time by the holder thereof. No fractional Public Warrants were issued upon separation of FGNA’s units issued in the IPO, and only whole Public Warrants trade. Accordingly, unless a holder purchased at least two units, such holder will not be able to receive or trade a whole Public Warrant. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the Closing Date, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

We will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable, and we will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of a Public Warrant, unless Class A Common Stock issuable upon such Public Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Public Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Public Warrant, the holder of such Public Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Public Warrant and such Public Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any Public Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Public Warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such Public Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A Common Stock underlying such unit.

If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of the Business Combination, Public Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A Common Stock is at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, we may call the Public Warrants for redemption:

•in whole and not in part;

•at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each Public Warrant holder; and

•if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders.

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by us for cash, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

We have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the Public Warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each Public Warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its Public Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 Public Warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

If we call the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its Public Warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of Public Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of our Public Warrants. If our management takes advantage of this

option, all holders of Public Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their Public Warrants for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Public Warrants and the “fair market value” (as defined in the next sentence) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a Public Warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the Public Warrants after our initial business combination.

Private Placement Warrants

Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of either $11.50 per share (or $15.00 per share in the case of the $15 Exercise Price Warrants), subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO and 30 days after the completion of the Closing. The Private Placement Warrants are comprised of the Private Placement Unit Warrants, the Founder Warrants, the Underwriter Warrants and the $15 Exercise Price Warrants, in each case as further described below.

Private Placement Unit Warrants/ Founder Warrants

The Private Placement Unit Warrants and the Founder Warrants (collectively, the “Sponsor Warrants”), including the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Sponsor Warrants, are not transferable, assignable or salable by the Sponsor until 30 days after the Closing (except, among other limited exceptions, to the Company’s (or FGNA’s) officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor and other permitted transferees) and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor or its permitted transferees have the option to exercise the Sponsor Warrants on a cashless basis as further described below. Except as described in this section, the Sponsor Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the Sponsor Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Sponsor Warrants will be redeemable by us for cash and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Underwriter Warrants

The Underwriter Warrants, including the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter Warrants, are not transferable, assignable or salable by the Sponsor until 30 days after the Closing (except, among other limited exceptions, to other persons or entities affiliated with the Underwriters and other permitted transferees), and they (i) will not be redeemable by us and (ii) will not be exercisable more than five years from the effectiveness of the IPO registration statement in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i), in each case so long as they are held by the Underwriters or their permitted transferees. The Underwriters or their permitted transferees have the option to exercise the Underwriter Warrants on a cashless basis as further described below. Except as described in this section, the Underwriter Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the Underwriter Warrants are held by holders other than the Underwriters or their permitted transferees, the Underwriter Warrants will be redeemable by us for cash and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

$15 Exercise Price Warrants

The $15 Exercise Price Warrants, including the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the $15 Exercise Price Warrants, are not transferable, assignable or salable by the Sponsor until 30 days after the Closing (except, among other limited exceptions, to the Company’s (or FGNA’s) officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor and other permitted transferees) and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor or its permitted transferees have the option to exercise the $15 Exercise Price Warrants on a cashless basis as further described below. The $15 Exercise Price Warrants will no longer be exercisable and will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time ten years after the Closing Date. Except as described in this section, the $15 Exercise Price Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the $15 Exercise Price Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the $15 Exercise Price Warrants will be redeemable by us for cash and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Cashless exercise

If holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its Private Placement Warrants for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the

quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of our Class A Common Stock (defined below) over the exercise price of the Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average closing price of the Class A Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of Private Placement Warrants exercise is sent to the Warrant Agent. The reason that we have agreed that these Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by Sponsor, the Company’s (or FGNA’s) officers and directors, the Underwriters or any of their permitted transferees is because it was not known at the time of issuance of the Warrants whether such holders would be affiliated with us following a business combination, whereby their ability to sell our securities in the open market would have been significantly limited.

Additional Terms Applicable to All Warrants

Under the Warrant Agreement, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and for the registration of the Private Placement Warrants. We will use our best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement.

A holder of a Warrant (including Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants) may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the Warrant Agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Class A Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Class A Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of Class A Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Class A Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Class A Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Class A Common Stock on account of such Class A Common Stock (or other securities into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, or (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, then the Warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Class A Common Stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Class A Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the Warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Class A Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or

consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of our Class A Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their Warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A Common Stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A Common Stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the Warrant properly exercises the Warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the Warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the Warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the Warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the Warrants pursuant to which the holders of the Warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the Warrants in order to determine and realize the option value component of the Warrant. This formula is to compensate the Warrant holder for the loss of the option value portion of the Warrant due to the requirement that the Warrant holder exercise the Warrant within 30 days of the event. The Black-Scholes model is an accepted pricing model for estimating fair market value where no quoted market price for an instrument is available.

The Warrants have been issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and contains a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public Warrants, and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the private placement Warrants, a majority of the then outstanding private placement Warrants.

The Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Warrant Agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the Warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Warrants being exercised. The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Class A Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our Board at that time. Our Board is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, our ability to declare dividends is currently limited by restrictive covenants in connection with various credit facilities.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, who is also and Warrant Agent for our Warrants. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and Warrant Agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and Charter and Amended and Restated Bylaws

Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders

The Charter opts out of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with certain “interested stockholders” and their affiliates. In lieu of Section 203, the Charter provides that the Company shall not engage in any business combination (as such term is defined in the Charter), at any point in time at which the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, with any interested stockholder (which, as defined in the Charter, shall not include SCG or any of its affiliates, or any person that acquires (other than in a registered public offering) directly from SCG or any of its successors, any “group”, or any member of any such group, of which such persons are a member of under Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act beneficial ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the then outstanding voting stock of the Company) for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (i) prior to such time, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; or (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the Company outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (A) persons who are directors and also officers of the Company and (B) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; (iii) at or subsequent to such time, the applicable business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company that is not owned by the interested stockholder; or (iv) the stockholder became an interested stockholder inadvertently and (A) as soon as practicable divested itself of ownership of sufficient shares so that the stockholder ceased to be an interested stockholder and (B) was not, at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to a business combination between the Company and such stockholder, an interested stockholder but for the inadvertent acquisition of ownership, which provision of the Charter may only be amended by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of all then outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

Our authorized but unissued Common Stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Forum Selection Clause

The Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring any: (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees or our stockholders; (iii) action asserting a claim against us, our directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware or the Charter or Amended and Restated Bylaws; or (iv) action asserting a claim against us, our directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, and if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following the determination), (B) that is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act as to which the Court of Chancery and the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction.

Under the Securities Act, federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act, and stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a forum selection provision as written in connection with claims arising under the Securities Act.

This forum selection clause may also discourage claims or limit stockholders’ ability to submit claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable and may result in additional costs for a stockholder seeking to bring a claim. While we believe the risk of a court declining to enforce this forum selection clause is low, if a court were to determine the forum selection clause to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs in conjunction with our efforts to resolve the dispute in an alternative jurisdiction, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the forum selection clause will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America have

exclusive jurisdiction. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received by the company secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, proposals seeking inclusion in our annual proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted securities would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted securities for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

•1% of the total number of shares or other units of the class of securities then outstanding; or

•the average weekly reported trading volume of the class of securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

•the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

•the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

•at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

Following the Closing, the Company ceased to be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of our securities.

Investor Rights Agreement

At the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor and the other Founder Holders, the Members, and certain other parties entered into the Investor Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, among other things, (i) the Company, the Founder Holders and certain other parties terminated that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2020, entered into by them in connection with FGNA’s initial public offering, (ii) the Members’ Representative will have the right to nominate five directors to the Board, subject to certain independence and holdings requirements (see “Common Stock – Election if Directors” above), (iii) the Company agreed to provide certain registration rights for the shares of

Class A Common Stock held by or issuable to the Members, the Founder Holders and certain other parties, and (iv) a certain Founder Holder and the Members agreed not to transfer, sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of the shares of Class A Common Stock and the OppFi Units held by such Founder Holder or such Members, as applicable, for twenty-four months and nine months, respectively, following the Closing, subject to certain exceptions, including with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of the Initial Shares.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

See the section entitled “Management – Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters” for a discussion of certain matters related to the limitation of liability and indemnification of our directors and officers.

Listing of Securities

Our Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants are listed on the NYSE under the symbols “OPFI” and “OPFI WS,” respectively.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the offering of up to 15,339,464 shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants. We are also registering the resale of securities by the Selling Securityholders or their permitted transferees from time to time. The securities we are registering for resale will permit the Selling Securityholders to conduct public secondary trading of these securities from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus. We will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $179.6 million from the exercise of the Warrants assuming the exercise in full of all of the Warrants for cash. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders from the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus will be the purchase price of the securities less any discounts and commissions. We will not pay any brokers’ or underwriters’ discounts and commissions in connection with the registration and sale of the securities covered by this prospectus.

The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell, from time to time, their respective shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants covered by this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Securityholders may sell their securities by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

•purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

•ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

•block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a     portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the NYSE;

•through trading plans entered into by a Selling Securityholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;

•short sales;

•distribution to employees, members, limited partners or stockholders of the Selling Securityholders;

•through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transaction, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

•by pledge to secured debts and other obligations;

•delayed delivery arrangements;

•to or through underwriters or agents;

•in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;

•in privately negotiated transactions;

•in options transactions; and

•through a combination of any of the above methods of sale, as described below, or any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In addition, any securities that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the securities or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may also sell the securities short and redeliver the securities to close out such short positions. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as

supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Securityholders may also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

A Selling Securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Securityholder or borrowed from any Selling Securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Selling Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Selling Securityholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

In offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Selling Securityholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the Selling Securityholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

We have advised the Selling Securityholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

At the time a particular offer of securities is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.

Certain agents, underwriters and dealers, and their associates and affiliates, may be customers of, have borrowing relationships with, engage in other transactions with, or perform services, including investment banking services, for us or one or more of our respective affiliates and/or the Selling Securityholders or one or more of its respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.

A holder of Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants may exercise its Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the Warrant Agreement on or before the expiration date set forth therein by surrendering, at the office of the Warrant Agent, the certificate evidencing such Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants, with the form of election to purchase set forth thereon, properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of such Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants, subject to any applicable provisions relating to cashless exercises in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.

We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholders party to the Investor Rights Agreement against certain civil liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act or any other similar federal and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants offered by them pursuant to this prospectus, and such Selling Securityholders will be entitled to contribution from us with respect to those liabilities. Each Selling Securityholder party to the Investor Rights Agreement has agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities in connection with information furnished to us by each such Selling Securityholder, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and we will be entitled to contribution from such Selling Securityholders with respect to those liabilities. In addition, we or the Selling Securityholders party to the Investor Rights Agreement may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or

underwriters may make with respect to those liabilities. For additional information regarding the Investor Rights Agreement, see the section entitled “Certain Relationships with Selling Securityholders – Investor Rights Agreement.”

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our Class A Common Stock and Warrants, which we refer to collectively as our securities. This summary is based upon U.S. federal income tax law as of the date of this prospectus, which is subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, dealers or traders in securities, tax-exempt organizations(including private foundations), taxpayers that have elected mark-to-market accounting, S corporations, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment companies, controlled foreign corporations, U.S. Holders (as defined below) that will hold Class A Common Stock or Warrants as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States, or investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar), all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ materially from those summarized below. This summary does not discuss other U.S. federal tax consequences (e.g., estate or gift tax), any state, local,or non-U.S. tax considerations or the Medicare tax or alternative minimum tax. In addition, this summary is limited to investors that will hold our securities as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the Code, and that acquire our Class A Common Stock and Warrants for cash pursuant to this prospectus. No ruling from the IRS has been or will be sought regarding any matter discussed herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax aspects set forth below.

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial holder of our securities who or that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes is:

•an individual who is a U.S. citizen or resident of the United States, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes created in, or organized under the law of, the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;

•an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

•a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has in effect a valid election under applicable U.S. Department of Treasury regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A “non-U.S.Holder” is a beneficial holder of our securities who or that is neither a U.S. Holder nor an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our securities, the tax treatment of a partner, member or other beneficial owner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, member or other beneficial owner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner, member or other beneficial owner level. If you are a partner, member or other beneficial owner of a partnership holding our securities, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our securities.

THIS DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF ANY, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME,ESTATE AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For U.S. Holders

Taxation of Distributions

If we pay distributions or make constructive distributions (other than certain distributions of our capital stock or rights to acquire our capital stock) to U.S. Holders of shares of our Class A Common Stock, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings

and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock” below.

Dividends we pay to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation will generally qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder will generally constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied, a corporation may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and non-corporate U.S. holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rates that apply to qualified dividend income.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock

A U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. The amount of gain or loss recognized will generally be equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (2) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock so disposed of. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock will generally equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost for such Class A Common Stock (or, in the case of Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of a Warrant, the U.S. Holder’s initial basis for such Class A Common Stock, as discussed below), less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital. If a U.S. Holder receives Class A Common Stock in a taxable exchange for property other than cash, the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost generally will be the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock received in the exchange. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally eligible for reduced rates of tax. If the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock so disposed of is one year or less, any gain on a sale or other taxable disposition of the shares would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at ordinary income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Exercise of a Warrant

Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a Warrant, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss upon the exercise of a Warrant for cash. The U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the share of our Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the Warrant will generally be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost of the Warrant and the exercise price of such Warrant. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the warrant would commence on the date of exercise of the Warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the Warrant; however, in either case the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrants.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a Warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may be nontaxable, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the Class A Common Stock received generally should equal the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock would commence on the date of exercise of the Warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the Warrant; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrant. If, instead, the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Class A Common Stock generally would include the holding period of the Warrant.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise of a Warrant could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss is recognized. In such event, a U.S. Holder could be deemed to have surrendered a portion of the Warrants being exercised having a value equal to the exercise price of such Warrants in satisfaction of such exercise price. Although not free from doubt, such U.S. Holder generally should recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Warrants deemed surrendered to satisfy the exercise price and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Warrants. In this case, a U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the Class A Common Stock received would equal the sum of the exercise price and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Warrants exercised. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock would commence on the date of exercise of the warrant or the day following the date of

exercise of the Warrant; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrant. Due to the uncertainty and absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. Holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the Class A Common Stock received, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a Warrant.

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Expiration of a Warrant

Upon a sale, exchange (other than by exercise), redemption (other than a redemption for Class A Common Stock), or expiration of a Warrant, a U.S. Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the amount realized upon such disposition or expiration and (2) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Warrant. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Warrants will generally equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost, increased by the amount of any constructive distributions included in income by such U.S. Holder (as described below under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For U.S. Holders — Possible Constructive Distributions”). Such gain or loss generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Warrant is held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year at the time of such disposition or expiration. If a Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Warrant. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. A redemption of Warrants for Class A Common Stock described in this prospectus under “Description of Securities—Warrants—Public Warrants” should be treated as a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, you should not recognize any gain or loss on the redemption of Warrants for shares of our Class A Common Stock. Your aggregate initial tax basis in the shares of Class A Common Stock received in the redemption should equal your aggregate adjusted tax basis in your Warrants redeemed and your holding period for the shares of Class A Common Stock received in redemption of your Warrants should include your holding period for your surrendered Warrants.

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which the Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the Warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of Securities—Warrants—Public Warrants.” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally should not be a taxable event. Nevertheless, a U.S. Holder of Warrants would be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from us if, for example, the adjustment increases the holder’s proportionate interest in our assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of shares of our Class A Common Stock which is taxable to such holders as a distribution. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described above under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For U.S. Holders—Taxation of Distributions” in the same manner as if such U.S. Holder received a cash distribution from us on Class A Common Stock equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends paid to a U.S. Holder and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants, unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding (currently at 24%) may apply to such payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For Non-U.S. Holders

Taxation of Distributions

In general, any distributions (including constructive distributions) we make to a non-U.S. Holder of our Class A Common Stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate

(usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E,as applicable). In the case of any constructive dividend (as described below under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For Non-U.S. Holders—Possible Constructive Distributions”), it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a non-U.S. Holder by the applicable withholding agent, including cash distributions on other property or sale proceeds from Warrants or other property subsequently paid or credited to such holder. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero)the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Class A Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as described under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants” below. In addition, if we determine that we are likely to be classified as a “United States real property holding corporation” (see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants” below), we will withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

Dividends we pay to a non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (or if a tax treaty applies are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder)will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (generally by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders. If the non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

Exercise of a Warrant

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a non-U.S. Holder’s exercise of a Warrant will generally correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise of a Warrant by a U.S. Holder, as described under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For U.S. Holders—Exercise of a Warrant” above, although to the extent a cashless exercise results in a taxable exchange, the tax consequences to the non-U.S. Holder would be the same as those described below in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants.”

Redemption of Warrants for Class A Common Stock

A redemption of Warrants for Class A Common Stock described in this prospectus under “Description of Securities—Warrants—Public Warrants” should be treated as a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, you should not recognize any gain or loss on the redemption of Warrants for our Class A Common Stock. Your aggregate initial tax basis in the shares of Class A Common Stock received in the redemption should equal your aggregate adjusted tax basis in your Warrants redeemed and your holding period for the shares of Class A Common Stock received in redemption of your Warrants should include your holding period for your surrendered Warrants.

Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Warrants

A non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock or Warrants or an expiration or redemption of our warrants, unless:

•the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if an applicable tax treaty so requires, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder);

•the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met; or

•we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the non-U.S. Holder held our Class A Common Stock or Warrants and, in the case where shares of our Class A Common Stock are regularly traded on an established securities market,the non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our Class A Common Stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares of our Class A Common Stock. There can be no assurance that our Class A Common Stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

Gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any gain described in the first bullet point above of a non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate). Gain described in the second bullet point above will generally be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding possible eligibility for benefits under income tax treaties.

If the third bullet point above applies to a non-U.S. Holder and applicable exceptions are not available, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Class A Common Stock or Warrants will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of our Class A Common Stock or Warrants from such holder may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. We will be classified as a United States real property holding corporation if the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not believe we currently are or will become a United States real property holding corporation, however there can be no assurance in this regard. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules.

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which the Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the Warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this prospectus captioned “Description of Securities—Warrants—Public Warrants.” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally should not be a taxable event. Nevertheless, a non-U.S. Holder of Warrants would be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from us if, for example, the adjustment increases the holder’s proportionate interest in our assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of shares of our Class A Common Stock which is taxable to such holders as a distribution. A non-U.S. Holder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding as described above under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For Non-U.S. Holders—Taxation of Distributions” under that section in the same manner as if such non-U.S. Holder received a cash distribution from us on Class A Common Stock equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” (“FATCA”) generally impose withholding tax at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends (including constructive dividends) in respect of our securities which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (1) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (2) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which our securities are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of our securities held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (1) certifies to us or the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (2) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends, however, the IRS released proposed regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on such gross proceeds. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our securities.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants. A non-U.S. Holder may have to comply with

certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty generally will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of OppFi Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OppFi Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’/members’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Notes 2 and 4 to the financial statements, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2021 and elected the fair value option to account for installment finance receivables in conjunction with its adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).

/s/ RSM US LLP

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2014.

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations

OppFi Inc. (“OppFi”), formerly FG New America Acquisition Corp. (“FGNA”), collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Company”), is a leading mission-driven financial technology platform that powers banks to offer accessible lending products to everyday consumers through its proprietary technology and artificial intelligence and a top-rated experience. OppFi’s platform facilitates credit access products primarily through its installment loan product, OppLoans. OppFi’s credit access products also include its payroll deduction secured installment loan product, SalaryTap, and credit card product, OppFi Card.

On July 20, 2021 (“Closing Date”), the Company completed a business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of February 9, 2021, by and among Opportunity Financial, LLC (“OppFi-LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, OppFi Shares, LLC (“OFS”), a Delaware limited liability company, and Todd Schwartz (“Members’ Representative”), in his capacity as the representative of the members of OppFi-LLC (“Members”) immediately prior to the closing (“Closing”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.” At the Closing, FGNA changed its name to “OppFi Inc.” OppFi’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) and redeemable warrants exercisable for Class A Common Stock (“Public Warrants”) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “OPFI” and “OPFI WS,” respectively.

Following the Closing, the Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which substantially all of the assets and the business of the Company are held by OppFi-LLC and its subsidiaries, and OppFi’s only direct assets consist of Class A common units of OppFi-LLC (“OppFi Units”). As of December 31, 2021, OppFi owned approximately 12.4% of the OppFi Units and controls OppFi-LLC as the sole manager of OppFi-LLC in accordance with the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OppFi-LLC (“OppFi A&R LLCA”). All remaining OppFi Units (“Retained OppFi Units”) are beneficially owned by the Members. OFS holds a controlling voting interest in OppFi through its ownership of shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of OppFi (“Class V Voting Stock”) in an amount equal to the number of Retained OppFi Units and therefore has the ability to control OppFi-LLC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On September 30, 2021, the credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A. was amended to require OppFi-LLC to create a bankruptcy protected entity named SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, as amended, SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC uses the proceeds from the existing credit facility to acquire receivables from SalaryTap, LLC and OppWin SalaryTap, LLC, and the lender receives first priority lien on all of the entity’s assets. SalaryTap, LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement. This transaction is accounted for as senior debt in which this bankruptcy protected entity holds all assets on its balance sheet, which collateralize the debt.

In 2019, OppFi-LLC entered into a credit agreement with Midtown Madison Management LLC which required OppFi-LLC to create a bankruptcy protected entity named Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC uses the proceeds from the credit facility to acquire receivables from OppFi-LLC and OppWin, LLC, andh the lender receives first priority lien on all of the entity’s assets. OppFi-LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement. This transaction is accounted for as senior debt in which this bankruptcy protected entity holds all assets on its balance sheet, which collateralize the debt.

On October 13, 2021, the credit agreement with Midtown Madison Management, LLC was amended to add Opportunity Funding SPE VII, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary, as an additional borrower. Under the terms of the agreement, as amended, Opportunity Funding SPE VII, LLC uses the proceeds from the existing credit facility to acquire receivables from Opportunity Financial Card Company, LLC and OppWin Card, LLC, and the lender receives first priority lien on all of the entity’s assets. OppFi-LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement.

In 2019, OppFi-LLC entered into a credit agreement with Ares Agent Services, L.P., an unrelated third party, which required OppFi-LLC to create a bankruptcy protected entity named Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC uses the proceeds from the credit facility to acquire receivables from OppFi-LLC and OppWin, LLC, and the lender receives first priority lien on all of the entity’s assets. OppFi-LLC continues to service the assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement but is required to maintain a backup servicing agreement. This transaction is accounted for as senior debt in which this bankruptcy protected entity holds all assets on its balance sheet, which collateralize the debt.

OppFi-LLC has entered into bank partnership arrangements with certain Utah-chartered banks (“Banks”) insured by the FDIC. Under the terms and conditions of the agreement, the Banks originate finance receivables based on criteria provided by OppFi-LLC. After an initial holding period, OppFi-LLC has committed to acquire the participation rights to the finance receivables originated by the Banks. To facilitate these relationships, OppFi-LLC formed OppWin, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppFi-LLC; OppWin SalaryTap, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppFi-LLC; and OppWin Card, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppFi-LLC.

OppWin, LLC acquires the participation rights in the economic interest in installment finance receivables originated by the Banks. Subsequently, OppWin, LLC sells these rights to Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE III, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE IV, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC, and Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC, which in turn, pledge the participation rights to their respective lenders.

OppWin SalaryTap, LLC acquires the participation rights in the economic interest in the SalaryTap finance receivables originated by the Banks. Subsequently, OppWin SalaryTap, LLC sells these rights to SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC, which in turn, pledges the participation rights to its respective lenders.

OppWin Card, LLC acquires the participation rights in the economic interest in the OppFi Card finance receivables originated by the Banks. Subsequently, OppWin Card, LLC sells these rights to Opportunity Funding SPE VII, LLC, which in turn, pledges the participation rights to its respective lenders.

The Company accounts for the participation rights as finance receivables. As part of these bank partnership arrangements, the Banks have the ability to retain a percentage of the finance receivables they have originated. OppFi-LLC’s economic interest and acquired participation rights are reduced by the percentage retained by the Banks.

In 2019, OppFi-LLC ceased the origination of unsecured lines of credit. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, OppFi-LLC did not have any outstanding finance receivables relating to lines of credit.

Basis of presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of OppFi Inc. and OppFi-LLC with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “OppFi Subsidiaries”) as of December 31, 2021. In the opinion of the

F-10

OppFi Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Company’s management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results and financial position for the periods presented.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Under this method, FGNA was treated as the “acquired” company, and OppFi-LLC, as the accounting acquirer, was assumed to have issued equity for the net assets of FGNA, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the above named entities. Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE III, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE IV, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE VII, LLC and SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC are special purpose entities holding finance receivables secured by lenders under a credit or preferred return agreement.

OppFi has identified Opportunity Funding SPE II, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE III, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE IV, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE V, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE VI, LLC, Opportunity Funding SPE VII, LLC and SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC as VIEs. OppFi-LLC is the sole equity member of all of the aforementioned entities, except for SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC. SalaryTap, LLC is the sole equity member of SalaryTap Funding SPE, LLC. The Company directs the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact economic performance. Additionally, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIEs that could potentially be significant. As the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, the Company has consolidated the financial statements of the VIEs. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segments: Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. OppFi’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are collectively considered to be the CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s operations constitute a single reportable segment.

Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including those impacted by COVID-19, that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and operations and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The judgements, assumptions, and estimates used by management are based on historical experience, management’s experience and qualitative factors. The areas subject to significant estimation techniques are the determination of fair value of installment finance receivables and warrants, and the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables. For the aforementioned estimates, it is reasonably possible the recorded amounts or related disclosures could significantly change in the near future as new information is available.

Income recognition: The Company recognizes finance charges on installment, SalaryTap, and lines of credit contracts based on the interest method. Under this method, interest is earned over the lives of the installment, SalaryTap, and lines of credit finance receivables to produce constant rates of interest (yields). Fees for returned payments approximate the cost of services provided and are recognized as incurred, assuming collectability is reasonably assured.

For OppFi Card finance receivables, interest is earned as it becomes due and is charged to cardholder accounts. Card-related fees, with the exception of the annual fee, are recognized as incurred. Annual fee revenue is amortized straight-line over the course of 12 months.

The Company discontinues and reverses the accrual of interest income on installment and SalaryTap finance receivables at the earlier of 60 days past due based on a recency basis or 90 days past due based on a contractual basis. The Company discontinued and reversed the accrual of interest income on lines of credit finance receivables at 60 days past due based on a recency basis. The accrual of income is not resumed until the account is current on a recency or contractual basis, at which time management considers collectability to be probable.

Cash: The Company classifies all cash accounts which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties as cash. All cash accounts are held in financially insured institutions, which may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal for these accounts.

Restricted cash: Restricted cash consists of the following: (1) cash required to be held on reserve by the Company’s vendors for purposes of loan processing or funding; (2) cash required to be held for the Company’s guaranty on finance receivables under the terms of the Credit Access Business and Credit Service Organization programs (collectively, the “CSO Program”); (3) cash required to be held in blocked accounts held by the VIEs; and (4) cash required to be held on deposit in connection

OppFi Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

with the bank partnership arrangements. All cash accounts are held in financially insured institutions, which may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal for these accounts.

CSO arrangements: In Texas and Ohio, OppFi-LLC previously arranged for consumers to obtain finance receivable products from independent third-party lenders as part of the CSO Program. For the consumer finance receivable products originated by the third-party lenders under the CSO Program, the lenders were responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer's application was underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the finance receivable. When a consumer executed an agreement with OppFi-LLC under the CSO Program, OppFi-LLC agreed, for a fee payable to OppFi-LLC by the consumer, to provide certain services to the consumer, one of which was to guarantee the consumer's obligation to repay the finance receivable obtained by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer failed to do so. The guarantees represented an obligation to purchase specific finance receivables that are delinquent, secured by a collateral account established in favor of the respective lenders.

On April 23, 2019, the Company discontinued the CSO Program in Ohio, and no new finance receivables were originated through this program after that date. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no finance receivables remaining under the CSO Program in Ohio.

On March 19, 2021, the Company discontinued the CSO Program in Texas. As of December 31, 2021, there were no finance receivables remaining under the CSO Program in Texas. As of December 31, 2020, finance receivables remaining under the CSO Program in Texas totaled $19.7 million.

As of December 31, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of off-balance sheet active finance receivables which were guaranteed by the Company was $19.7 million. Upon the election of the fair value option for installment loan finance receivables on January 1, 2021, the Company released the reserve for repurchase liabilities as the income rights and related losses were included in the valuation of finance receivables at fair value, which was included in the fair value adjustment to retained earnings. As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a reserve for repurchase liabilities of $4.2 million, which represents the liability for estimated losses on finance receivables guaranteed. The Company used a similar methodology for determining the reserve for repurchase liabilities as it does for calculating the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables.

Under the terms of the CSO Program, the Company was required to maintain a restricted cash balance equal to the guaranty, which was determined and settled on a weekly basis. On a daily basis, a receivable and/or payable was recorded to recognize the outstanding settlement balance. As of December 31, 2021, there were no restricted cash balance held in a federally insured bank account related to the CSO Program. As of December 31, 2020, the restricted cash balance held in a federally insured bank account related to the CSO Program was $3.1 million. As of December 31, 2021, there was no outstanding settlement balance related to the CSO Program. As of December 31, 2020, there was a payable balance of $0.8 million, related to settlement which was included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Participation rights purchase obligations: OppFi-LLC has entered into bank partnership arrangements with certain Banks insured by the FDIC. Under the terms and conditions of the bank partnership agreements, the Banks originate finance receivables based on criteria provided by OppFi-LLC. The issuing Bank earns interest during an initial hold period and owns the economic interest in the finance receivables. After the initial holding period, OppFi-LLC is committed to acquire participation rights in the economic interest in the finance receivables originated by the Banks, net of bank partnership retention, plus accrued interest (“Participation Rights”). OppFi-LLC also provides certain services for these receivables in its capacity of sub-servicer pursuant to the terms of the servicing agreement between the Bank and OppFi-LLC. To facilitate these relationships, OppFi-LLC formed OppWin, LLC, OppWin SalaryTap, LLC, and OppWin Card, LLC, which acquire the Participation Rights and sell these rights to certain of the other OppFi Subsidiaries, which in turn, pledge the Participation Rights to their respective lenders. The Company accounts for the Participation Rights as a finance receivable. As part of these bank partnership arrangements, the Banks have the ability to retain a percentage of the finance receivables they have originated, and OppFi-LLC’s Participation Rights are reduced by the percentage of the finance receivables retained by the Banks.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, finance receivables originated through the bank partnership arrangements totaled 89% and 62%, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the unpaid principal balance of finance receivables outstanding for purchase was $9.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Finance receivables: Prior to January 1, 2021, finance receivables, which management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, were reported based on outstanding unpaid principal balance net of accrued interest and fees, unamortized loan origination costs and the allowance for credit losses.

On January 1, 2021, the Company elected the fair value option on its installment finance receivables upon adoption of ASU 2016-13. Accordingly, the related finance receivables are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the

F-12

OppFi Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

changes in fair value are included in the consolidated statements of operations. To derive the fair value, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses and prepayments over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss and prepayment assumptions are determined using historical loss data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require. Accrued interest and fees are included in “Finance receivables at fair value” in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is included in “Interest and loan related income, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company did not elect the fair value option on its SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables as these products launched in November 2020 and August 2021, respectively, and inputs for fair value are not yet determined. Accordingly, the related finance receivables are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses and unearned fees.

Loan origination costs: Direct costs incurred for the origination of finance receivables are deferred and amortized over the average life of the customer using the straight-line method. Prior to the election of the fair value option of its installment loans, direct costs incurred for the origination of these finance receivables included underwriting fees, employee salaries and benefits directly related to the origination of the loan and program fees. Loan origination costs also included direct costs incurred for directly acquiring a customer; these costs were deferred and amortized over the average life of the customer using the straight-line method. With the election of the fair value option, loan origination costs related to the origination of installment finance receivables recognized at fair value are expensed when incurred.

Allowance for credit losses on finance receivables: Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, on January 1, 2021, the Company used a static pool methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on all finance receivables. Under the static pool methodology, a provision for credit losses on finance receivables was recorded when the allowance for credit losses was determined to be insufficient to absorb estimated losses. Such provisions were charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for losses on finance receivables at an adequate level. The allowance was an amount that management believed would be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing finance receivables based on an evaluation of the collectability of the finance receivables and prior loss experience. This evaluation also took into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the finance receivable portfolio, overall portfolio quality and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. While management used the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in any of the factors.

The Company’s charge-off policy is based on a review of delinquent finance receivables on a loan by loan basis. Finance receivables are charged off at the earlier of the time when accounts reach 90 days past due on a recency basis, when the Company receives notification of a customer bankruptcy, or is otherwise deemed uncollectible.

The allowance consists of quantitative and qualitative factors. The quantitative factors are based on historical charge-off experience. The qualitative factors are determined based on management’s assessment of internal and/or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical losses.

Finance receivables are considered small balance homogeneous receivables and are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual small balance homogeneous receivables for impairment disclosures, unless such receivables are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 replaced the Company’s incurred loss impairment methodology with the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology. Under the CECL methodology, the Company determines the allowance for credit losses and records a provision for credit losses considering all

anticipated credit losses over the remaining expected life of its SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables. The Company uses competitive research and considers qualitative factors, such as changes to regulatory requirements, general economic conditions and other events impacting the credit quality of the portfolio for determining the anticipated credit loses of its SalaryTap and OppFi Card finance receivables. The Company will continue to leverage competitive research until sufficient Company performance data exists. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in any of the factors.

Delinquency: The Company determines the past due status on a recency basis, which is defined as the last time a qualifying payment is made on an account. Finance receivables are considered delinquent at 30 days or more past due. Prior to May 2020, a qualifying payment was considered to be 50% of the scheduled payment. In May 2020, the policy was changed to consider 90% of the scheduled payment as a qualifying payment.

OppFi Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Troubled debt restructurings: As the terms of the receivables are typically not renegotiated and settlement offers are not typically made until after a receivable stops accruing interest income (up to 60 days delinquent), the only receivables considered to be impaired, or troubled debt restructurings, are: 1) those receivables where a settlement offer is made after receivables cease accruing interest, which may result in a modification of contractual terms, 2) the Company has received notification that a borrower is working with a third party to settle debt on his/her behalf and 3) customers who have entered into the Company’s short-term or long-term hardship programs. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, management determined the balance of troubled debt restructuring receivables to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements as a whole. As such, substantially all disclosures relating to impaired finance receivables, and troubled debt restructuring, have been omitted from these consolidated financial statements.

Property and equipment: Furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements are computed under both straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax purposes, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or the term of the lease.

Capitalized technology: Software development costs related to internal use software are incurred in three stages of development: the preliminary project stage, the application development stage, and the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage that meet the criteria for capitalization are capitalized and amortized, when the software is ready for its intended use, using the straight-line basis, over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally two years. The Company capitalized software costs associated with application development totaling $13.7 million and $9.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense, which is included in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of operations, totaled $9.3 million, $6.0 million, and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Debt issuance costs: Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized based on the contractual terms of the related debt agreements using the interest method for fixed-term debt and the straight-line method for all other debt.

Transfer and servicing of financial assets: After a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The transfers of assets for debt purposes have been accounted for as secured and senior borrowings and the related assets and borrowings are retained on the consolidated balance sheets and no gain or loss has been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-based compensation: The Company established the OppFi Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which provides for the grant of restricted stock unit awards, incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units awards, performance units, performance shares, cash-based awards, and other stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors, officers, and consultants. The Company measures stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of awards as determined on the date of the grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. The Company uses a Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires estimates of highly subjective assumptions, which affect the fair value of stock options. The fair value of restricted stock units and performance stock units is estimated using the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant.

Earnings per share: The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders required for companies with participating securities. Basic earnings per share available to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to OppFi by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders is computed by giving effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss available attributable to OppFi, diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders would be the same as basic earnings per share available to common stockholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Warrants: Public Warrants, $11.50 Exercise Price Warrants, $15 Exercise Price Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and Underwriter Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment, due to a provision in the warrant agreement governing such warrants (“Warrant Agreement”) related to certain tender or exchange offer provisions, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Public Warrants are valued at market price based on a quoted price in an active market. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the

outstanding private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) issued in connection with FGNA’s initial public offering (“IPO”) at each reporting period.

Tax receivable agreement liability: In connection with the Business Combination, OppFi entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") with the Members and the Members’ Representative. The TRA provides for payment to the Members of 90% of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by the Company as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock or cash. OppFi-LLC will have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code effective for each taxable year in which an exchange of Retained OppFi Units occurs. The remaining 10% cash tax savings resulting from the basis adjustments will be retained by the Company.

In general, cash tax savings result in a year when the tax liability of the Company for the year, computed without regard to the deductions attributable to the amortization or depreciation of the basis increase and other deductions that arise in connection with the payment of the cash consideration under the TRA or the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock, would be more than the tax liability for the year taking into account such deductions. Payments under the TRA will not be due until the Company is able to reduce an actual cash tax liability by the amortization of the basis increase on a filed tax return. The payments under the TRA are expected to be substantial.

The Company accounts for the effects of the basis increases as follows:

•records an increase in deferred tax assets for the income tax effects of the increases in tax basis based on enacted federal and state income tax rates at the date of the exchange;

•the Company evaluates the ability to realize the full benefit represented by the deferred tax asset based on an analysis that will consider expectations of future earnings among other things. If the Company determines that the full benefit is not likely to be realized, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the amount of the deferred tax assets to an amount that is likely to be realized.

The Company records obligations under the TRA at the gross undiscounted amount of the expected future payments as an increase to liabilities and the realizable deferred tax asset with an offset to additional paid-in capital.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s liability related to its expected obligations under the TRA was $23.3 million with a corresponding deferred tax asset of $5.6 million. The remaining $17.7 million was recorded to additional paid-in capital.

Income taxes: OppFi-LLC is organized as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes, and therefore is not subject to tax on its earnings, as the taxable income and deductions are passed to the Members who are responsible for income tax based upon their allocable share of OppFi-LLC's income. Following the Closing, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OppFi and OppFi-LLC. OppFi is subject to corporate income taxes in the United States based upon its activities and its allocable share of taxable income from OppFi-LLC at the federal and state level, therefore the amount of income taxes recorded prior to the Closing are not representative of the expenses expected in the future.

The computation of the effective tax rate and provision at each period requires the use of certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income that is subject to tax, and permanent differences between the Company’s GAAP earnings and taxable income. The estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change throughout the year as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as tax laws and regulations change. Accordingly, the effective tax rate for future periods may vary.

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of current tax liabilities or receivables for the amount of taxes it estimates are payable or refundable for the current year, deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period enacted. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.

The benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s income tax returns is recognized in the financial statements if such positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carryover or

amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents a potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized. Interest costs and related penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated, if applicable and are recognized as general and administrative expenses.

Government regulation: The Company is subject to complex regulation, supervision and licensing under various federal, state, local statutes, ordinances, regulations, rules and guidance. The Company must comply with federal laws as well as regulations adopted to implement those laws. In July 2010, the U.S. Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, and Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which regulates U.S. consumer financial products and services, including consumer loans offered by the Company. The CFPB has regulatory, supervisory and enforcement powers over providers of consumer financial products and services, including explicit supervisory authority to examine and require registration of such providers.

Noncontrolling interests: Noncontrolling interests are held by the Members, who retained 87.6% of the economic ownership percentage of OppFi-LLC as of December 31, 2021. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company classifies the noncontrolling interests as a component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company has presented the net income attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling ownership interests separately in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair value disclosure: ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, established a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the nature of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the NYSE. Valuations are obtained     from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less-active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

Emerging growth company: The Company is an emerging growth company as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“Jobs Act”). The Company is permitted to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements apply to private companies. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Accounting pronouncements issued and adopted: In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13. The amendments in ASU 2016‑13 replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects lifetime expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In April 2019 and November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, respectively, which provide subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in ASU 2016‑13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, which provides entities that have certain instruments within the scope of ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost, with an option to

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

irrevocably elect the fair value option in ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments—Overall, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 under the modified-retrospective method effective January 1, 2021 and elected the fair value option to account for installment finance receivables. The Company believes that the fair value option better reflects the value of its portfolio and its future economic performance as well as more closely aligns with the Company’s marginal decision-making processes that rely on risk based pricing and discounted cash flow methodologies. In accordance with the transition guidance, the Company (i) released the allowance for estimated losses on installment finance receivables at that date; (ii) released the unamortized net deferred origination costs at that date; (iii) released the reserve for repurchase liability on third-party lender losses; and (iv) measured the installment finance receivables at fair value. As a result of the adoption of this ASU, the Company’s finance receivables are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized directly in earnings and origination fees and costs are no longer eligible for deferral.

The following table summarizes the impact of adoption on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021, as adjusted (in thousands):

Fair value adjustment to finance receivables	$	23,584
Allowance for credit losses	55,031
Unamortized loan origination costs	(13,421)
Reserve for repurchase liability	4,241
Increase in retained earnings	$	69,435

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customers Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which broadens the scope of existing guidance applicable to internal-use software development costs. The update requires costs to be capitalized or expensed based on the nature of the costs and the project stage in which they are incurred subject to amortization and impairment guidance consistent with existing internal-use software development cost guidance. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective, or prospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and issued certain transitional guidance and subsequent amendments between January 2018 and February 2020 within ASU No. 2017-13, ASU No. 2018-01, ASU No. 2018-10, ASU No. 2018-11, ASU No. 2018-20, ASU No. 2019-01, ASU No. 2019-10, ASU No. 2020-02, and ASU No. 2020-05 (collectively, “Topic 842”). Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations. Per ASU No. 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities, issued June 2020, Topic 842, as amended, is effective for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. As permitted for emerging growth companies, the Company will adopt Topic 842 under the private company transition guidance, which is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. The Company will utilize the effective date method, whereby the Company will continue to present prior period financial statements and disclosures under ASC 840. In addition, the Company will elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which, among other things, permits companies to not reassess prior conclusions on lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company will also elect the practical expedient which permits the Company to combine lease and non-lease components and to exclude short-term leases, defined as having an initial term of twelve months or less, from the consolidated balance sheets.

Adoption of the new standard is expected to result in recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability related to the Company’s operating lease of its corporate headquarters totaling approximately $15.5 million and $18.0 million, respectively, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. A decrease to deferred rent totaling approximately $2.5 million, which would previously be included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet, will offset the right-of-use asset. The standard will not materially affect the Company's consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The purpose of ASU 2020-04 is to provide optional guidance for a period of time related to accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. It is intended to reduce the potential burden of reviewing contract modifications related to discontinued rates. The amendments and expedients in this update are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be elected by topic. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Business Combination

On the Closing Date, OppFi completed the Business Combination with OppFi-LLC pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to ASC 805, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, where FGNA was treated as the “acquired” company and OppFi-LLC, as the accounting acquirer. OppFi-LLC was assumed to have issued equity for the net assets of FGNA, accompanied by a recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, the pre-Business Combination consolidated financial statements of the Company are the historical financial statements of OppFi-LLC. The net assets, consisting of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and warrant liability, of FGNA were stated at fair value, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded in accordance with GAAP and are consolidated with OppFi-LLC’s financial statements on the Closing Date.

At the Closing, (i) OppFi-LLC transferred to the Company 12,977,690 OppFi Units, which was equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (after giving effect to redemptions by FGNA’s public stockholders prior to the Closing and the conversion of FGNA’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”)), (ii) FGNA contributed the Cash Consideration (as defined below) to OppFi-LLC in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, which was distributed to the Members, and (iii) FGNA issued 96,987,093 shares of newly authorized Class V Voting Stock, which number of shares of Class V Voting Stock was equal to the number of Retained OppFi Units.

The aggregate value of the consideration paid to the Members in the Business Combination was approximately $806.5 million, after giving effect to the estimated purchase price adjustments as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, consisting of: (i) cash consideration in the amount of $91.6 million (“Cash Consideration”), equal to the cash remaining in FGNA’s trust account as of immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) 96,987,093 shares of Class V Voting Stock.

Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, there were 12,977,690 issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (giving effect to shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and 3,443,750 shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Class B Common Stock). Shortly after, and as a result of the Business Combination, a lender converted its OppFi Units, resulting in an additional 486,852 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding for a total of 13,464,542 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding. On the business day following the Closing, FGNA’s public units automatically separated into their component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, no longer trade as a separate security and were delisted from the NYSE.

In connection with the Closing, on the Closing Date, 25,500,000 Retained OppFi Units (“Earnout Units”) held by the Members, and an equal number of shares of Class V Voting Stock distributed to OFS in connection with the Business Combination, are subject to certain restrictions and potential forfeiture pending the achievement (if any) of certain earnout targets pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. But for restrictions related to a lock-up (transfer restrictions) and forfeiture (earnout criteria), as such restrictions are more specifically set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement entered into at the Closing, by and among the Company, certain founder holders of FGNA, the Members, the Members’ Representative and/or the OppFi A&R LLCA, as applicable, the Earnout Units have all other economic and voting rights of the other units of OppFi-LLC. With respect to transfers, the Earnout Units are subject to a lock-up until the later of the end of the lock-up period applicable to other OppFi Units or until such Earnout Units are earned in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement. With respect to distributions (other than tax distributions, which in respect of such Earnout Units are treated the same as any other OppFi Unit in accordance with the OppFi A&R LLCA) in relation to the Earnout Units, such distributions (other than tax distributions) are held back until the Earnout Units are earned. If an Earnout Unit is not earned, and therefore forfeited, related distributions are distributed to the other holders of units at such time.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company incurred direct and incremental costs of approximately $30.6 million, consisting primarily of investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional fees. Of these costs, $21.6 million were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, $0.8 million were recorded as a prepaid expense and included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and $8.2 million were expensed as professional fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

As a result of the Business Combination, OppFi organized as a C corporation, owns an equity interest in OppFi-LLC in what is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure. OppFi-LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, all income, losses, and other tax attributes pass through

F-18

OppFi Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

to the members’ income tax returns, and no U.S. federal and state and local provision for income taxes has been recorded for these entities in the consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the Up-C structure, noncontrolling interests are held by the Members who retained 88.2% of the economic ownership percentage of OppFi-LLC as of the Closing. The Company classifies the noncontrolling interests as a component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the Business Combination, OppFi entered into the TRA with the Members and the Members’ Representative. The TRA provides for payment to the Members of 90% of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by the Company as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock or cash.

The Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of $24.3 million for the difference between the book value and tax basis of the Company’s investment in OppFi-LLC at the time of the Business Combination. The Company has assessed the realizability of their deferred tax assets and in that analysis has considered the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Other debt: On April 13, 2020, OppFi-LLC obtained an unsecured loan in the amount of $6.4 million from BMO Harris Bank N.A. in connection with the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loan”). Pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program, all or a portion of the PPP Loan was forgivable if OppFi used the proceeds of the PPP Loan for its payroll costs and other expenses in accordance with the requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program. OppFi-LLC used the proceeds of the PPP Loan for payroll costs and other covered expenses. On November 14, 2020, OppFi-LLC submitted the forgiveness application to the SBA.

On September 13, 2021, the Company was notified that the SBA had forgiven repayment of the entire PPP Loan, which consisted of $6.4 million in principal and $0.1 million of accrued interest. The Company recorded the entire amount of the forgiven principal and accrued interest as other income in its statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, there was no outstanding balance for the PPP Loan. The SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP Loan, for eligibility and other criteria, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), all borrowers are required to maintain their PPP loan documentation for six years after the PPP Loan was forgiven and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request.

As of December 31, 2021, required payments for all borrowings, excluding secured borrowing and revolving lines of credit, for each of the next five years are as follows (in thousands):

Year	Amount

Note 8.    Warrants

Warrant units: In November 2018, in conjunction with OppFi-LLC entering into a senior secured multi-draw term loan, OppFi-LLC issued warrant units to the lender. The fair value of the warrant units was estimated using an option pricing model that used the following assumptions:

	December 31, 2020
Expected term	3 years
Volatility	52.0	%
Discount for lack of marketability	45.0	%
Risk free rate	0.2	%

The total proceeds were allocated on a relative fair value basis to the two instruments issued in conjunction, and the amount allocated to the warrant units also represented a discount to the debt, which is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the agreement.

As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the warrant unit liability was $1.3 million and is included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.

Prior to the Closing, the lender exercised the warrant units; accordingly, the warrant unit liability was remeasured to fair value. The fair value of the warrant unit liability was $5.5 million and was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. After the lender exercised the warrant units, there were no warrant units outstanding thereafter.

Public Warrants: As of December 31, 2021, there were 11,887,500 Public Warrants outstanding. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a holder of Public Warrants may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. The Public Warrants will expire on July 20, 2026, five years after the Closing Date, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

OppFi Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants under the following conditions:

•In whole and not in part;

•At a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (“30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

•If, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The last of the redemption criterion discussed above prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the exercise price of the Public Warrants. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

Private Placement Warrants: As of December 31, 2021, there were 3,451,937 Private Placement Warrants outstanding, all of which are non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis so long as they continue to be held by their initial holders or their permitted transferees. The Private Placement Warrants are comprised of 2,539,437 warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share (“$11.50 Exercise Price Warrants”) and 912,500 warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock at $15.00 per share (“$15 Exercise Price Warrants”). The $11.50 Exercise Price Warrants expire simultaneously with the Public Warrants, except for certain of the $11.50 Exercise Price Warrants held by underwriters in the IPO (“Underwriter Warrants”) that expire on September 29, 2025 so long as they continue to be held by their initial holders or their permitted transferees. The $15 Exercise Price Warrants expire on July 20, 2031, ten years after the Closing Date, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, so long as they continue to be held by their initial holders or their permitted transferees, and otherwise expire simultaneously with the Public Warrants.

Warrant liabilities: As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded warrant liabilities of $11.2 million in the consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Public Warrants decreased by $19.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants decreased by $7.1 million.

Note 10.    Stock-Based Compensation

On July 20, 2021, the Company established the OppFi Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which provides for the grant of awards in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards, and other stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors, officers, and consultants. As of December 31, 2021, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be equal to 11,500,000 shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares is subject to annual increases beginning on January 1, 2022 and continuing on the first day of each subsequent fiscal year through and including the tenth anniversary of the commencement of the initial annual increase, equal to the lesser of two percent of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at the conclusion of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, or an amount determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had only granted awards in the form of options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units.

Stock options: Under the terms of the Plan, incentive stock options must have an exercise price at or above the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant. Stock options granted have service-based vesting conditions only. Stock

options generally vest over four years with 25% of stock options vesting on the first anniversary of the grant and the remaining

75% vesting quarterly over the remaining 36 months. Option holders have a 10-year period to exercise the options

before they expire. Forfeitures are recognized during the period in which they occur.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows:

	Number of Common Stock Options	Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding as of December 31, 2020	—	$	—	—	$	—
Granted	5,600,000	15.23		—	—

Vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2021	—	$	—	0.0	$	—

Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is the requisite service period, beginning on the grant date. The compensation expense is based on the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized as salaries and employee benefits expense in the consolidated statements of operations and an increase to additional paid-in capital. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized stock-based compensation of $0.9 million related to stock options. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation of $6.1 million related to unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted-average period of approximately 3.5 years.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

Volatility	32.50	%
Risk-free rate (low)	0.91% - 1.25%
Expected term (years)	5.1 - 6.1 years
Dividend yield	0.00	%

Volatility is the measure by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected life of the stock options. Due to the lack of company-specific market data, volatility is based on an estimate of expected volatilities of a representative group of publicly traded companies.

Risk-free rate is based on U.S. Treasury Note yields.

Expected term represents the weighted-average period over which the granted stock options are expected to remain outstanding.

Dividend yield is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payments.

Restricted stock units: Under the terms of the Plan, the Company may grant awards to employees, officers and directors in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which collectively represent contingent rights to receive shares of Class A Common Stock. The RSUs granted to employees and officers generally vest over four years with 25% of the RSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the grant and the remaining 75% vesting quarterly over the remaining 36 months, and the RSUs granted to directors vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of grant or the date of the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders.

A summary of the Company’s RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows:

	Number of Restricted Stock Units	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested as of December 31, 2020	—	$	—
Granted	2,109,320	7.59
Vested	(11,337)	7.69
Forfeited	(279,453)	7.69
Unvested as of December 31, 2021	1,818,530	$	7.58

If the settlement date with respect to any Class A Common Stock shares issuable upon vesting of RSUs would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the provisions of the Company’s Trading Compliance Policy, then the settlement date shall be deferred until the next trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Trading Compliance Policy. In any event, the settlement date shall be no later than the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following the year in which such RSUs vest. In adhering to the Company’s Trading Compliance Policy, there were 6,162 vested RSUs not settled as of December 31, 2021.

The fair value of each RSU is based on the fair value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. The related stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, and forfeitures are recognized during the period in which they occur. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized stock-based compensation of $1.5 million related to RSUs. As of December 31, 2021, total unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs was $12.2 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of approximately 3.6 years.

Performance stock units: Under the terms of the Plan, the Company may grant awards to employees, officers, and directors in the form of performance stock units (“PSUs”), which collectively represent the contingent rights to receive shares of Class A Common Stock based on the achievement of pre-established performance targets over the applicable performance period. PSUs generally vest over four years, provided the achievement of specified performance targets.

The related stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards based on management’s determination of the probable achievement of the pre-established performance targets. If necessary, the Company adjusts the expense recognized to reflect the actual vested shares following the final determination of the achievement of the pre-established performance targets. PSU forfeitures are recognized during the period in which they occur. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized stock-based compensation of $0.1 million related to PSUs. As of December 31, 2021, total unrecognized compensation expense related to PSUs was $0.5 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of approximately 3.8 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan: On July 20, 2021, the Company established the OppFi Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP permits eligible employees to contribute up to 10% of their compensation, not to exceed the IRS allowable limit, to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during six month offerings. Eligible employees will purchase the shares at a price per share equal to the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the first trading day of the offering period or the last trading day of the offering period. The offering periods begin each January 1 and July 1, with the initial offering period beginning on January 1, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the ESPP was 1,200,000 and may consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Class A Common Stock. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the ESPP shall be cumulatively increased on January 1, 2022 and on each subsequent January 1, through and including January 1, 2030, by a number of shares equal to the smallest of (a) one percent of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, (b) 2,400,000 shares, or (c) an amount determined by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2021, no shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock have been purchased under the ESPP.

Profit unit interests: Prior to the Business Combination, OppFi-LLC issued profit unit interests, which were recapitalized as OppFi Units in connection with the adoption by the Members of the OppFi A&R LLCA immediately prior to the Closing.

Total profit interest compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $0.5 million, $0.1 million, and $0.1 million respectively.

The compensation expense accounted for all vested units based on the following assumptions:

Note 11. Income Taxes

OppFi-LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, OppFi-LLC is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by OppFi-LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including OppFi, on a pro rata basis. OppFi is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of OppFi-LLC, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by OppFi.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, OppFi recorded an income tax expense of $0.3 million and reported consolidated income before taxes of $90.1 million, resulting in a 0.34% effective income tax rate. Prior to the Closing Date, OppFi-LLC was classified as a partnership for income tax purposes, and was therefore not subject to federal income tax and did not record an expense for income taxes.

OppFi’s effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the noncontrolling interest in the Up-C partnership structure, warrant fair market value fluctuations, and state income taxes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax bases using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The components of deferred taxes were as follows (in thousands):

	December 31,
	2021		2020
Investment in partnership	$	16,951	$	—
Tax receivable agreement liability	5,583		—
Net operating loss	1,609		—
Intangibles	618		—
Stock compensation	603		—
Other	229		—
Deferred tax asset	$	25,593	$	—

As of December 31, 2021, OppFi had approximately $7.7 million of federal net operating loss carryovers and $4.9 million of state net operating loss carryovers. The entirety of the federal net operating loss carryover has no expiration date and the state net operating loss carryovers will expire in varying amounts beginning in 2027.

At the time of the Business Combination, OppFi recorded a deferred tax asset of $18.9 million with an offset to additional paid-in capital for the difference between the book value and the tax basis of OppFi’s investment in OppFi-LLC. As of December 31, 2021, the related deferred tax asset was $17.0 million. The decrease was due to additional differences between the book and taxable income in 2021. Based on the Company’s cumulative earnings history and forecasted future sources of taxable income, the Company believes that it will be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future. As the Company reassesses this position in the future, changes in cumulative earnings history, excluding non-recurring charges, or changes to forecasted taxable income may alter this expectation and may result in an increase in the valuation allowance and an increase in the effective tax rate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States to provide emergency assistance to individuals and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes temporary changes to both income and non-income based tax laws. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the impact of the CARES Act was immaterial to the Company’s tax provision. However, under the CARES Act, the Company deferred the employer portion of payroll tax payments through December 31, 2021. Future regulatory guidance under the CARES Act or additional legislation enacted by Congress in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic could impact the Company’s tax provision in future periods.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into the TRA, which provides for payment to the Members of 90% of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax savings realized by the Company as a result of the increases in tax basis and certain other tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement and the exchange of Retained OppFi Units for Class A Common Stock or cash. The Company has in effect an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code and will have such an election effective for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange (including deemed exchange) of OppFi-LLC interests for shares of Class A Common Stock or cash occurs. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 10%. For the period from the Closing Date through December 31, 2021, the TRA liability increased by $0.3 million related to exchanges that occurred during that period.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value on a nonrecurring basis: The Company has no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances.

Fair value measurement on a recurring basis: Effective January 1, 2021, the Company elected the fair value option to account for its installment finance receivables and measures the installment finance receivables at fair value on a recurring basis. Prior to the Business Combination, OppFi-LLC only had warrant units that were measured at fair market value on a recurring basis. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company measures the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants at fair value on a recurring basis.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

(1) The Company primarily estimates the fair value of its installment finance receivables portfolio using discounted cash flow models that have been internally developed. The models use inputs that are unobservable but reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value.

The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s installment finance receivables fair value measurements as of December 31, 2021:

	December 31, 2021
Interest rate on finance receivables	147.60	%
Discount rate	21.80	%
Servicing cost*	5.00	%
Remaining life	0.62 years
Default rate*	17.70	%
Accrued interest*	3.20	%
Prepayment rate*	21.00	%
*Stated as a percentage of finance receivables

(2) The fair value measurement for the Public Warrants is categorized as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker OPFI WS.

(3) The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation; accordingly, the fair value measurement for the Private Placement Warrants is categorized as Level 3.

The following table presents the significant assumptions used in the simulation at December 31, 2021 and July 20, 2021, the Closing Date:

Note 15. Commitments, Contingencies and Related Party Transactions

Commitment: The Company leases its office facilities under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement with an unrelated party. On November 26, 2019, the Company amended the lease agreement to rent additional office space. The amendment reduced the required deposit of a letter of credit from $1.5 million to $1.0 million, which would be paid to the lessor in the event of default. On June 29, 2021, the required deposit of a letter of credit associated with the agreement was increased to $1.8 million. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no outstanding balances on the letter of credit. The amendment also extended the expiration date of the lease to September 2030.

Rent expense, which is included in occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of operations, totaled $3.8 million, $3.1 million, and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Legal contingencies: Due to the nature of its business activities, the Company is subject to extensive regulations and legal actions and is currently involved in certain legal and regulatory matters, which arise in the normal course of business. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes an accrued liability for legal and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies which are both probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company has received inquiries from certain agencies and states on its lending compliance, the validity of the bank partnership model, and its ability to facilitate the servicing of bank originated loans. Management is confident that its lending practices and the bank partnership structure, in addition to the Company’s technologies, services, and overall relationship with its bank partners, complies with state and federal laws. However, the inquiries are still in process and the outcome is unknown at this time, including an ongoing matter involving the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. See Note 19 for additional information.

Except as described below, management does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal and regulatory matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

On November 18, 2021, the Company entered into a Consent Judgement and Order (“Settlement”) with the Attorney General of the District of Columbia (“District”) to resolve all matters in a dispute related to the action previously filed against the Company by the District (“Action”). The Company denies the allegations in the Action and denies that it has violated any law or engaged in any deceptive or unfair practices. The Action was resolved to avoid the expense of protracted litigation. As part of the Settlement, the Company agreed to, among other things, refrain from certain business activities in the District of Columbia, pay $0.3 million to the District of Columbia and provide refunds totaling $1.5 million to certain District of Columbia consumers. As of December 31, 2021, unpaid refunds totaled $1.5 million, which is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Related party transactions: OppFi-LLC previously had an unsecured line of credit agreement with SCG with a maximum available amount of $4.0 million, which was paid in full on March 30, 2021. Interest expense related to this related party transaction was $0.1 million, $0.6 million, and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

In August 2020, OppFi-LLC entered into a Management Fee Agreement (“Management Fee Agreement”) with SCG. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Fee Agreement, SCG provided board and advisory services. Effective upon the Closing, OppFi-LLC terminated the Management Fee Agreement and incurred $3.0 million in transaction costs, which has been offset against additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, management fees under the Management Fee Agreement totaled $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

In connection with the Business Combination, OppFi entered into the TRA with the Members.

Severance agreements: The Company entered into Severance Agreements and General Releases (“Severance Agreements”) with the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and other key employees. In connection with these Severance Agreements, the Company agreed to, among other things, pay certain severance benefits for one year. As of December 31, 2021, $1.3 million in severance benefits remained unpaid, which is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 16.     Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of finance receivables. As of December 31, 2021, consumers living primarily in Florida, Texas and California made up approximately 14%, 14%, and 11%, respectively, of the gross amount of the Company’s portfolio of finance receivables. As of December 31, 2021, there were no other states that made up more than 10% or more of the gross amount of the Company’s portfolio of finance receivables. As of December 31, 2020, consumers living primarily in Florida and Illinois made up approximately 14% and 13%, respectively, of the gross amount of the Company’s portfolio of finance receivables. Furthermore, such consumers’ ability to honor their installment contracts may be affected by economic conditions in these areas. The Company is also exposed to a concentration of credit risk inherent in providing alternate financing programs to borrowers who cannot obtain traditional bank financing.

Note 17. Retirement Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement plan (“401(k) Plan”) for its employees. Full time employees (except certain non-resident aliens) who are age 21 and older are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan participants may elect to contribute a portion of their eligible compensation to the 401(k) Plan. The Company has elected a matching contribution up to 4% on eligible employee compensation. The Company’s contribution, which is included in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of operations, totaled $1.5 million, $1.1 million, and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 19.     Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated the impact of events that have occurred through the date these financial statements were issued and identified the following events that required disclosure.

Share repurchase: On January 6, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (“Board”) had authorized a program to repurchase (“Repurchase Program”) up to $20.0 million in the aggregate of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time, on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other methods, at the discretion of the management of the Company and in accordance with the

F-37

OppFi Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act and other applicable legal requirements. The timing and amount of the repurchases will depend on market conditions and other requirements. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and the Repurchase Program may be extended, modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. For each share of Class A Common Stock that the Company repurchases under the Repurchase Program, OppFi-LLC will redeem one Class A common unit of OppFi-LLC held by the Company, decreasing the percentage ownership of OppFi-LLC by the Company and relatively increasing the ownership by the other members. The Repurchase Program will expire in December 2023.

Chief Executive Officer transition: On February 23, 2022, the Board of the Company appointed Mr. Todd G. Schwartz as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective February 28, 2022 (“Effective Date”). Mr. Schwartz will continue to serve as the Executive Chairman of the Board.

Also on February 23, 2022, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Neville Crawley pursuant to which Mr. Crawley resigned as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, effective as of the Effective Date. The Company has agreed to continue to pay Mr. Crawley his current base salary and reimbursements for COBRA healthcare expenses for 12 months following the Effective Date, as well as pro rata bonuses for the prior and current fiscal years in the amount of $0.2 million and, $0.1 million, respectively.

Mr. Crawley has executed a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and will be subject to customary restrictive covenants, including non-competition and non-solicitation covenants as set forth in Mr. Crawley’s employment agreement with the Company, dated July 8, 2021.

California Financing Law litigation: On March 7, 2022, the Company, through OppFi-LLC, filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief (“Complaint”) against the Commissioner (in her official capacity) of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation of the State of California (“Defendant”) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central Division.

The Complaint seeks a declaration that the interest rate caps set forth in the California Financing Law, as amended by the Fair Access to Credit Act, a/k/a AB 539 (“CFL”), do not apply to loans that are originated by the Company’s federally-insured state-chartered bank partners and serviced through the Company’s technology and service platform pursuant to a contractual arrangement with each such bank (“Program”). The Complaint further seeks injunctive relief against the Defendant, preventing the Defendant from enforcing interest rate caps under the CFL against the Company based on activities related to the Program.

The Company intends to aggressively prosecute the claims set forth in the Complaint.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Our Charter and the Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the officers and directors of the Company will be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as it now exists or may in the future be amended, for any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding relating to any such officer’s or director’s service to the Company. Our Charter and the Amended and Restated Bylaws also require the Company to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit the Company to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In addition, our Charter provides that directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the Company or its stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless such directors violated their duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

Additionally, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company is required to maintain all such indemnification provisions in the Charter and the Amended and Restated Bylaws until at least the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, including in the event of any change in control of the Company.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
