 Analyst Day Presentation  April 7, 2022 
 

 Important Notices  1  This presentation is provided for informational purposes only and has been prepared to assist interested parties in making their own evaluation with respect to the proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) between North Mountain Merger Corp. (“North Mountain”) and Corcentric, Inc. (“Corcentric”) and the related transactions. In connection with the proposed Business Combination, North Mountain has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Registration Statement includes preliminary proxy materials that will be distributed to North Mountain’s shareholders in connection with its solicitation for voting proxies in respect of the proposed Business Combination and other matters described in the Registration Statement, as well as a prospectus relating to the offer of North Mountain’s securities to be issued in the proposed Business Combination. Investors, shareholders and other interested parties are advised to read the Registration Statement (and all amendments thereto) as well as other documents filed by North Mountain with the SEC in connection with the proposed Business Combination because these documents will contain important information about Corcentric, North Mountain and the proposed Business Combination. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to North Mountain’s shareholders as of the record date established for voting on the proposed Business Combination. Interested parties will also be able to obtain copies of such documents, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to North Mountain Merger Corp., 767 Fifth Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, NY, 10153, ATTN: Secretary, or by calling (646) 446-2700.  No Representations or Warranties  No representation or warranties, express or implied, are given in, or in respect of, this presentation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no circumstances will North Mountain, Corcentric or any of their respective subsidiaries, stockholders, affiliates, representatives, partners, directors, officers, employees, investment banks, advisers or agents be responsible or liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit arising from the use of this presentation, its contents, its omissions, reliance on t he information contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation thereto or otherwise arising in connection therewith. Industry and market data used in this presentation have been obtained from third-party industry publications and sources as well as from research reports prepared for other purposes that North Mountain and Corcentric believe are reasonable. Neither North Mountain nor Corcentric has independently verified the data obtained from these sources and cannot assure you of the data’s accuracy or completeness. This data is subject to change. In addition, this presentation does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all of the information that may be required to make a full analysis of North Mountain, Corcentric or the Business Combination. Viewers of this presentation should each make their own evaluation of North Mountain and Corcentric, and of the relevance and adequacy of the information and should make such other investigations as they deem necessary.  In addition, this presentation is not, and does not purport to be, an appraisal of the securities, assets or business of North Mountain, Corcentric or any other entity. North Mountain and Corcentric reserve the right to amend or replace this presentation at any time but none of North Mountain, Corcentric, their subsidiaries, affiliates, legal advisors or financial advisors shall have any obligation to update or supplement any content set forth in this presentation or otherwise provide any additional information to the recipient should circumstances, or management’s estimates or opinions, change or any information provided in this presentation become inaccurate. The statements in this presentation, including all forward-looking statements, should not be relied upon as representing North Mountain and Corcentric’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation.  Forward-Looking Statements  Certain statements, estimates, targets and projections in this presentation may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events, or involve the future performance of, Corcentric and North Mountain. For example, statements regarding the benefits of the proposed Business Combination, the anticipated timing of the proposed Business Combination, projections of future revenue or EBITDA, statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which Corcentric operates and anticipated growth in demand for Corcentric’s products or services, projections of Corcentric’s future financial results and other metrics are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “pro forma”, “may”, “plan”, “possible”, “project”, “strive”, “budget”, “forecast”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on current estimates and assumptions that are based on management’s current expectations and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; the risk that a business combination disrupts current plans and operations of Corcentric; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of a business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; costs related to a business combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that Corcentric or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors; Corcentric’s estimates of expenses and profitability; the evolution of the markets in which Corcentric competes; the inability of Corcentric to implement its business plan; the inability of Corcentric to satisfy regulatory and licensing requirements; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Corcentric’s business.  While the forward-looking statements included in this presentation, including the projected financial information, have been made in good faith and are based on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, there is no assurance the expected results will be achieved. Corcentric’s actual results may differ materially based on the risks and uncertainties noted and incorporated herein, and the inclusion of such information in the presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections and other forward-looking statements will be achieved. The risks and uncertainties described and incorporated in this presentation are not the only risks and uncertainties Corcentric may face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Corcentric, or that Corcentric currently considers immaterial, could also negatively affect the business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, profits and value of the securities of Corcentric. You should read and carefully consider the other information in this presentation and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement. 
 

 Important Notices (continued)  2  Use of Projections  This presentation contains financial forecasts for Corcentric with respect to certain financial results for Corcentric’s fiscal years through 2023. Neither North Mountain’s nor Corcentric’s independent auditors have not audited, studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are forward- looking statements and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. In this presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been provided for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of Corcentric or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year.  Non-GAAP Financial Measures  This presentation contains certain financial information, such as EBITDA, EBITDA CAGR, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross profit margin, Adjusted revenue and Adjusted revenue growth, which have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). North Mountain and Corcentric believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Corcentric’s financial condition and results of operations. North Mountain and Corcentric believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Corcentric’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Corcentric’s financial statements. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding projections, projected non-GAAP measures have not been reconciled back to the nearest GAAP measure. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. You should review North Mountain’s and Corcentric’s audited financial statements, included in the Registration Statement. Please refer to the Appendix for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.  Trademarks  This presentation contains trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of North Mountain, Corcentric and other companies, which are the property of their respective owners.  Participants in the Solicitation  North Mountain, North Mountain’s sponsor, Corcentric and certain of their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of North Mountain, in connection with the proposed Business Combination. Information regarding North Mountain’s directors and executive officers is contained in North Mountain’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of those participants, the directors and executive officers of Corcentric and other persons who may be deemed participants in the Business Combination may be obtained by reading the Registration Statement and the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents filed with the SEC. Free copies of these documents may be obtained as described above.  No Offer or Solicitation  This presentation is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed Business Combination. This presentation shall also not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale, issuance, or transfer of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.

 Risk factors  These Risk Factors are being provided to certain sophisticated institutional investors for potential investment in North Mountain Merger Corp. (“NMMC”) in connection with its proposed business combination with Corcentric, Inc. (“Corcentric”, “we”, “us” or “our”) (the “Business Combination”) and pursuant to which the combined company of Corcentric and NMMC will become a publicly traded operating company (“Combined Company” means Corcentric  immediately after the Business Combination). Investing in the securities of NMMC (the “Securities”) to be issued in connection with the Business Combination involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties inherent in an investment in us and in the Securities, including those described below, before subscribing for the Securities. If Corcentric cannot address any of the following risks and uncertainties effectively, or any other risks and difficulties that may arise in the future, Corcentric’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The risks described below are not the only ones Corcentric faces.  Additional risks that Corcentric currently does not know about or that Corcentric currently believes to be immaterial may also impair its business, financial condition or results of operations. You should review the Investor Presentation and perform your own due diligence, prior to making an investment in NMMC.  Risks Related to Corcentric’s Business and Industry:   Corcentric may not sustain its current rate of growth in the future.   Corcentric earns a substantial portion of its revenue from payment transactions and Corcentric’s growth is dependent upon the continued acceptance, security and adoption of its payment solutions.   Because Corcentric recognizes subscription revenues over the term of the contract, fluctuations in new sales and customer cancellations may not be immediately reflected in Corcentric’s operating results and may be difficult to discern.   Corcentric’s business depends substantially on its customers renewing their contracts and subscriptions and purchasing additional subscriptions from Corcentric. Corcentric’s business could be adversely affected if its customers are not satisfied with the services provided by Corcentric and do not renew their contracts or subscriptions.   A limited number of customer relationships are responsible for a significant portion of Corcentric’s revenue and cash flow. In addition, Corcentric is subject to credit risk resulting from its managed accounts receivable solutions. A decrease in sales to these customers or a change in these customers’ financial condition could materially harm Corcentric’s business and operating results.   If Corcentric fails to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations and payment methods, demand for product enhancements, new product features, and changing business needs, requirements or preferences, its products may become less competitive.   The markets in which Corcentric participates are competitive, and if Corcentric does not compete effectively, its operating results could be harmed.   Corcentric may require additional capital to support the growth of its business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.   Corcentric’s business depends, in part, on Corcentric’s relationships with third parties, including partnerships with financial institutions, third party service providers, processing providers and other financial services f any of Corcentric’s agreements with such financial institutions, third party service providers, processing providers, or financial services providers are terminated, Corcentric could experience service interruptions.   The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has affected and may continue to affect Corcentric's business operations.   Acquisitions, strategic investments, partnerships, collaborations or alliances could be difficult to identify and integrate, divert the attention of management, disrupt Corcentric’s business, dilute New Corcentric stockholder value, and adversely affect Corcentric’s operating results and financial condition.  61 
 

 Risk factors (cont’d)   If Corcentric fails to manage its growth effectively, Corcentric may be unable to execute on its plans and strategies, maintain and grow customer adoption and use of its products and services, or adequately address competitive challenges.   Corcentric's ability to recruit, retain and develop qualified personnel is critical to its success and growth. If Corcentric is not able to effectively grow our sales and marketing organization, or grow an effective network of channel  partners, it may be unable to increase its share of the existing markets or expand into new markets, which would inhibit its ability to grow and increase its profitability.   If Corcentric fails to offer high-quality customer support, or if its support is more expensive than anticipated, its business and reputation could suffer.   Corcentric’s private commerce network solutions strategy is in part dependent upon its ability to provide value to both buyers and suppliers within the network. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on Corcentric’s business and results of operations.   Corcentric relies on fees and rebates that it receives from its private commerce network solutions suppliers. The failure to maintain contracts with these private commerce network solutions suppliers could adversely affect Corcentric’s business, financial condition and results of operations.  Risks Related to Information Technology, Cybersecurity and Intellectual Property:   Corcentric facilitates the transfer of customer funds daily, and is subject to the risk of errors, which could result in financial losses, damage to its reputation, or loss of trust in its brand, which would harm its business and financial results.   If Corcentric’s security measures are breached or unauthorized access to customer data is otherwise obtained, Corcentric’s platform or products may be perceived as not being secure, customers may reduce the use of or stop using Corcentric’s products and platform and Corcentric may incur significant liabilities.   Corcentric’s risk management efforts may not be effective to prevent fraudulent activities by its customers, employees or other third parties, which could expose Corcentric to material financial losses and liability and otherwise harm its business.   If Corcentric fails to adequately protect its proprietary rights, its competitive position could be impaired and it may lose valuable assets, generate less revenue and incur costly litigation to protect its rights.   Corcentric may be sued by third parties for various claims including alleged infringement of its proprietary rights, which could be costly and time-consuming to defend.   Indemnity and liability provisions in various agreements potentially expose Corcentric to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement, data protection, and other losses.  62 
 

Risk factors (cont’d) Risks Related to Regulation:Corcentric relies on various exemptions from licensing, and regulators may find that it has violated applicable laws or regulations.The regulatory environment Corcentric operates in is subject to constant change, and new regulations could make aspects of its business as currently conducted no longer possible.Risks Related to North Mountain and the Business Combination:There can be no assurance that New Corcentric Common Stock will be approved for listing on Nasdaq or that New Corcentric will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of North Mountain’s securities or, following the Closing, New Corcentric’s securities, may decline. A market forour securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Corcentric will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financialcondition and results of operations.The North Mountain Board did not obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination and, as a result, the terms may not be fair from a financial point of view to the Public Stockholders.North Mountain’s Sponsor, officers and directors have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. 63
