Item 5.02 Departure of Director of Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 8, 2022, Repay Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of the stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Repay Holdings Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”). The Amended and Restated Plan had previously been approved by the Board on April 14, 2022, subject to stockholder approval. The purpose of the Amended and Restated Plan is to: (i) increase the number of shares that may be granted as awards by 6,500,000; (ii) extend the term of the Amended and Restated Plan to April 1, 2032; (iii) provide that equity-based awards granted shall vest no earlier than the first anniversary of the date the award is granted and performance-based awards must have a performance period of at least one year, with certain exceptions; (iv) provide for the express treatment of outstanding awards granted in the event of a change in control of the Company; and (v) provide that the fair value of awards granted to any non-employee member of the Board during any one calendar year shall not be in excess of Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000). A total of 13,826,728 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock are available for issuance under the Amended and Restated Plan.
More detailed descriptions of the material terms of the Amended and Restated Plan are included in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 27, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”) under the heading “Proposal Four: Approval of the Amendment and Restatement of the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan.” The foregoing summary description of the Amended and Restated Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of such plan, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 10.1.

Following stockholder approval, the Company filed the Amendment on June 8, 2022, with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Amendment became effective upon filing.
