Proxy Statement

For the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be Held on June 5, 2024

This proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) and our annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report” and, together with the Proxy Statement, the “Proxy Materials”) are being furnished by and on behalf of the board of directors (the “Board”) of OppFi Inc. in connection with our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). This Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement are first being distributed or made available, as the case may be, on or about April 26, 2024.

As used herein, the terms “Company,” “OppFi,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to OppFi Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires. The Company was a special purpose acquisition company named FG New America Acquisition Corp. (“FGNA”) until July 20, 2021, when FGNA and Opportunity Financial, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively with its subsidiaries, “OppFi-LLC”) consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”). Upon closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), FGNA changed its name to “OppFi Inc.” and OppFi-LLC became a subsidiary of OppFi Inc.

General Information about the Annual Meeting and Voting

The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the Annual Meeting, the proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting, and how voting with respect to the Annual Meeting works. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to our stockholders. We urge our stockholders to carefully read this entire proxy statement, including the other documents referred to herein.

Q: When and where will the Annual Meeting be held?

A: The Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 5, 2024 at 12:00 p.m., Central Time (1:00 p.m., Eastern Time), unless the Annual Meeting is adjourned. The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting, which will be conducted via live webcast. In order to attend the annual meeting, you must register at www.proxydocs.com/OPFI prior to the deadline of May 31, 2024 at 4:00 p.m., Central Time (5:00 p.m., Eastern Time). Upon completing your registration, you will receive further instructions via email, including your unique link that will allow you to access the virtual meeting. The online meeting will begin promptly at 12:00 p.m., Central Time (1:00 p.m., Eastern Time). We encourage you to access the annual meeting 15 minutes prior to the start time leaving ample time for the check in and to ensure that you can hear audio prior to the annual meeting. We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the Annual Meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual-only Annual Meeting platform, including any difficulties voting or submitting questions, you may call the technical support number that will be posted in your instructional email.

Q: What proposals are stockholders being asked to vote upon?

A: We are requesting that our stockholders vote at the Annual Meeting upon the following proposals described in this Proxy Statement:

| • |  | Proposal No. 1: Election of the director nominees named in this Proxy Statement as Class III directors.

| • |  | Proposal No. 2: Ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Except as described above, we do not intend to bring any business before the meeting other than that set forth in the Notice of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and described in this Proxy Statement.

However, if any other business should properly come before the meeting, the persons named in the proxy card intend to vote in accordance with their best judgment on that business and on any matters dealing with the conduct of the meeting pursuant to the discretionary authority granted in the proxy.

|  | 1 |  |

##### Table of Contents

Proxy Statement

Q: Are there any matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting that are not included in this Proxy Statement?

A: As of the date this Proxy Statement went to print, we did not know of any matters to be properly presented at the Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement. If other matters are properly presented at the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof for consideration, and you are a stockholder of record and have submitted a proxy card, the persons named in your proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

Q: What does it mean if I receive more than one set of Proxy Materials?

A: It means that your shares are held in more than one account at the transfer agent and/or with banks or brokers. Please vote all of your shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each set of Proxy Materials, please submit your proxy via the Internet, phone or by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope.

Q: Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

A: Holders of record of shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and shares of our Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class V Common Stock” and together with our Class A Common Stock, our “Common Stock”), as of April 9, 2024 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 19,311,623 shares of our Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote and 91,606,194 shares of our Class V Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote on any matter presented to stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

Q: What is the difference between being a “record holder” and holding shares in “street name”?

A: A record holder (also called a “registered holder”) holds shares in his, her or its name. Shares held in “street name” refer to shares that are held on the holder’s behalf in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee.

Q: What do I do if my shares are held in “street name”?

A: If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name.” The Proxy Materials have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record on how to vote your shares by following their instructions for voting. Please refer to information from your bank, broker or other nominee on how to submit your voting instructions.

Q: How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A: A quorum of our stockholders must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The holders of a majority in voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or by remote communication (which would include presence at the virtual Annual Meeting) or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum. If you authorize a proxy to vote electronically or telephonically or you sign and return your paper proxy card, your shares will be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even if you abstain or fail to vote as indicated in the Proxy Materials.

Broker non-votes will also be considered present for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum for the Annual Meeting.

Q: What are “broker non-votes”?

A: A “broker non-vote” occurs when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the stockholder who beneficially owns the shares and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at their discretion.

Under current New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) interpretations that govern broker non-votes, Proposal No. 1 is considered a non-discretionary matter, and a broker will lack the authority to vote uninstructed shares at their discretion on this proposal. However, Proposal No. 2 is considered a discretionary matter, and a broker will be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

##### Table of Contents

Proxy Statement

Q: What if a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting?

A: If a quorum is not present or represented at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, the chairman of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present or represented.

Q: How do I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

A: You can vote in any of the following ways:

By Internet |  | If you received the Notice or a printed copy of the Proxy Materials, follow the instructions in the Notice or on the proxy card.
By Telephone |  | If you received a printed copy of the Proxy Materials, follow the instructions on the proxy card.
By Mail |  | If you received a printed copy of the Proxy Materials, complete, sign, date, and mail your proxy card in the enclosed, postage-prepaid envelope.

To vote prior to the annual meeting if you hold your shares in “street name,” follow the instructions of your bank or broker.

Q: How can I attend and vote at the Annual Meeting?

A: To attend and vote virtually at the annual meeting if you are a registered stockholder or if you hold your shares in “street name”:

Registered Stockholder. You may vote in person virtually by attending the meeting through www.proxydocs.com/OPFI. To attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares, you must register for the Annual Meeting and provide the control number located on your Notice or proxy card. See “When and where will the Annual Meeting be held?” above for further information.

Shares Held in Street Name. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee (that is, in street name), you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or nominee that you must follow in order to submit your voting instructions and have your shares voted at the Annual Meeting. If you want to vote in person virtually at the Annual Meeting, you must register in advance at www.proxydocs.com/OPFI. You may be instructed to obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee and to submit a copy in advance of the meeting. Further instructions will be provided to you as part of your registration process.

We recommend that you log-in at least 15 minutes before the annual meeting starts to ensure that you are logged in and able to hear audio when the virtual meeting begins.

Q: How does the Board recommend that I vote?

A: The Board recommends that you vote:

| • |  | FOR the election of all the director nominees named in this Proxy Statement as Class III directors.

| • |  | FOR the ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Q: What vote is required to approve each proposal at the Annual Meeting?

A: The following votes are required for each proposal at the Annual Meeting:

| • |  | Proposal No. 1 — Election of Directors: The election of the director nominees pursuant to the director election proposal requires a plurality of the votes cast by holders of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class. This means that the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected. The voting options are “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” for each nominee. Votes that are “WITHHELD” will have the same effect as an abstention and will not count as a vote for or against a director nominee because directors are elected by plurality voting. Broker discretionary voting is not allowed for this proposal, as this is not considered a discretionary matter. Thus brokers lack authority to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

| • |  | Proposal No. 2 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm: The ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions) by holders of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class. The voting options are “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN”. A vote marked as an “Abstention” is not considered a vote cast and will therefore not affect the

|  | 3 |  |

Proxy Statement

| outcome of this proposal. Broker discretionary voting is allowed for this proposal as this is considered a discretionary matter, thus brokers are permitted to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

As of the Record Date, Mr. Todd G. Schwartz, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board, and entities controlled by him beneficially owned and had the right to vote approximately 92,151,877 of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock (representing approximately 83.1% of the voting power), and Mr. Todd Schwartz has advised us that he intends to vote all such shares in favor of the director nominees listed herein and for the ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. As a result, we expect to have a quorum at the Annual Meeting and the passage of Proposal Nos. 1 and 2.

Q: What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

A: If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. The Board’s recommendations are set forth above, as well as with the description of each proposal in this Proxy Statement.

Q: Who will count the votes?

A: Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count, for the election of directors, “For,” “Withhold” and broker non-votes; and, with respect to the other proposal, votes “For” and “Against,” abstentions and broker non-votes. Broker non-votes will not be included in the tabulation of the voting results of any of the proposals and, therefore, will have no effect on such proposals.

Q: Can I revoke or change my vote after I submit my proxy?

A: Yes. Whether you have voted by Internet, telephone or mail, if you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote and revoke your proxy at any time prior to its exercise at the Annual Meeting by:

| • |  | sending a written statement to that effect to the attention of our Corporate Secretary at our corporate offices at 130 E. Randolph Street, Suite 3400 Chicago, Illinois 60601;

| • |  | properly submitting a later proxy via Internet or by telephone;

| • |  | properly submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date; or

| • |  | voting your shares at the virtual Annual Meeting.

If you hold shares in street name, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your bank, broker or other nominee. You may also change your vote or revoke your proxy at the Annual Meeting if you obtain a signed proxy from the record holder (broker, bank or other nominee) giving you the right to vote the shares.

Your most recent proxy card or telephone or Internet proxy is the one that is counted. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to us before your proxy is voted or you vote at the Annual Meeting.

Q: Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

A: We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by directors, officers or employees (for no additional compensation) in person or by telephone, electronic transmission and facsimile transmission. Brokers and other nominees will be requested to solicit proxies or authorizations from beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses.

Q: What happens if I sell my shares of Common Stock before the Annual Meeting?

A: The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is earlier than the date of the Annual Meeting. If you transfer your shares after the Record Date, but before the Annual Meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at the Annual Meeting with respect to such shares.

PROPOSAL 1 — Election of Directors

Board Overview

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Charter”) and Amended and Restated bylaws (“Bylaws”), each as currently in effect, provide that the Board shall be composed of such number of directors as established from time to time by the Board, and that the Board shall be divided into three classes (designated Class I, Class II and Class III) as nearly equal in number as possible, and that each Director shall be elected for a term of three years with the term of one class expiring each year. The Board has fixed the number of directors at six, and we currently have six directors serving on the Board.

Two Class III directors have been nominated for re-election at the Annual Meeting to serve for a term ending at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal, and the proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.

Director Nomination Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) is responsible for recommending candidates to serve on the Board and its committees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that all directors must, at a minimum, meet the criteria set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which specify, among other things, that directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values and be committed to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders. They must have an inquisitive and objective outlook and mature judgment. They must also have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility and be leaders in the companies and institutions with which they are, or have been, affiliated. In particular, with respect to addressing diversity, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a nominee’s differences in, among other things, viewpoint, gender, race, ethnicity, knowledge, experience and skills. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints is a key attribute for a director nominee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks a diverse Board that is representative of our dynamic and growing business, stockholders, customers and personnel. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee carefully considers diversity when determining Board composition, it has not established a formal policy regarding diversity. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, approximately 33% of our Board members are women.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers a combination of factors for each nominee for director, including the perceived needs of the Board as a whole, each director nominee’s relevant background, experience and skills and expected contributions to the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has determined that all of our director nominees meet the criteria and qualifications set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and certain other criteria, including the criteria set forth above. Moreover, each director nominee possesses the following critical personal qualities and attributes that we believe are essential for the proper functioning of the Board to allow it to fulfill its duties for our stockholders: accountability, ethical leadership, governance, integrity, risk management and sound business judgment. The director nominee biographies below include a non-exclusive list of other key experiences and qualifications that further qualify the individual to serve on the Board. These collective qualities, skills, experiences and attributes are essential to the Board’s ability to exercise its oversight function for the Company and its stockholders, and guide the long-term sustainable, dependable performance of the Company.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders, and such candidates will be considered and evaluated under the same criteria described above. Any recommendation submitted to us should be in writing and should include any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate in support of that recommendation, but must include information that would be required under the rules of the SEC to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate and a written consent of the candidate to serve as one of our directors if elected and must otherwise comply with the requirements under our Bylaws for stockholders to recommend director nominees. Stockholders wishing to propose a candidate for consideration may do so by submitting the above information to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, OppFi Inc., 130 E. Randolph Street, Suite 3400 Chicago, Illinois 60601. All recommendations for director nominations received by the Corporate Secretary that satisfy our Bylaws requirements relating to such director nominations will be presented to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for its consideration. Stockholders also must satisfy the notification, timeliness, consent and information requirements set forth in our Bylaws. These timing requirements are also described under the caption “Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations.”

Under that certain Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2021 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), entered into in connection with the Business Combination, Todd G. Schwartz as representative (the “SCG Holders’ Representative”) for each of the affiliates of Schwartz Capital Group, LTHS Capital Group, and TGS Capital Group (f/k/a Todd Schwartz Capital Group), and any of their respective

(i) for so long as the SCG Holders hold at least 50% of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, the SCG Holders’ Representative will have the right to nominate five directors to the Board; (ii) for so long as the SCG Holders hold at least 40% (but less than 50%) of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, the SCG Holders’ Representative will have the right to nominate four directors to the Board; (iii) for so long as the SCG Holders hold at least 30% (but less than 40%) of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, the SCG Holders’ Representative will have the right to nominate three directors to the Board; (iv) for so long as the SCG Holders hold at least 20% (but less than 30%) of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, the SCG Holders’ Representative will have the right to nominate two directors to the Board; and (v) for so long as the SCG Holders hold at least 5% (but less than 20%) of the voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors, the SCG Holders’ Representative will have the right to nominate one director to the Board. Based on the SCG Holders voting power as of the Record Date, the SCG Holders’ Representative has designated five individuals, Theodore Schwartz, Todd G. Schwartz, David Vennettilli, Christina Favilla and Jocelyn Moore, for such purpose. Each of Todd G. Schwartz and David Vennettilli are Class III director nominees standing for re-election at this Annual Meeting.

The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that for so long as the Company is a “controlled company” under applicable NYSE rules, 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.

We believe we have a balanced Board, which is comprised of directors who individually possess the leadership and character commensurate with the role of director, and who collectively possess the mix of skills necessary to provide appropriate oversight of a company the size and complexity of the Company. In addition, the Board possesses a strong mix of experienced and newer directors.

Director Nominees

The Board is currently comprised of Todd G. Schwartz, Jocelyn Moore, Christina Favilla, Theodore Schwartz, David Vennettilli and Greg Zeeman, with the Class I directors being Christina Favilla and Jocelyn Moore, the Class II directors being Theodore Schwartz and Greg Zeeman, and the Class III directors being David Vennettilli and Todd Schwartz. Each of the current Class III directors is standing for re-election at this Annual Meeting.

Each Class III director nominee was recommended for re-election by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration by the Board and proposal to our stockholders. If, before the Annual Meeting, any nominee becomes unable to serve, or chooses not to serve, the Board may nominate a substitute. If that happens, the persons named as proxies on the proxy card will vote for the substitute, subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement. Alternatively, the Board may either let the vacancy stay unfilled until an appropriate candidate is identified or reduce the size of the Board to eliminate the unfilled seat, subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement.

The information presented below regarding each nominee also sets forth specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the Board to conclude that such individual should serve as a director in light of our business and structure.

Vote Required for Approval

The election of the director nominees pursuant to this Proposal No. 1 requires a plurality of the votes cast by holders of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class. This means that a director nominee will be elected if such director receives more affirmative votes than any other nominee for the same position. Votes marked “FOR” a nominee will be counted in favor of such nominee. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which includes presence at the virtual special meeting) at the Annual Meeting and “WITHHOLD” votes will have no effect on the vote because a plurality of the votes cast is required for the election of the director nominee. Cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of directors. Broker discretionary voting is not allowed for this proposal, as this is not considered a discretionary matter, thus brokers lack authority to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

|  |  |  | The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” each of the Class III director nominees: Todd G. Schwartz and David Vennettilli.

PROPOSAL 2 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) appoints our independent registered public accounting firm. In this regard, the Audit Committee evaluates the qualifications, performance and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm and determines whether to re-engage our current firm. RSM US LLP (“RSM”) has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since October 4, 2021 and served as OppFi-LLC’s auditor since 2014. Neither the accounting firm nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with us in any capacity other than as our auditors and providing audit and permissible non-audit related services. Upon consideration of these and other factors, the Audit Committee has appointed RSM to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Although ratification is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of RSM to our stockholders for ratification because we value our stockholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and it is a good corporate governance practice. If our stockholders do not ratify the selection, it will be considered as notice to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Representatives of RSM are expected to attend the Annual Meeting and to have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and All Other Fees

The table below sets forth the aggregate fees billed by RSM for 2023 and 2022.

RSM

|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Audit Fees |  | $ | 1,098,923 | (1) |  | $ | 761,706 | (1)
Audit-Related Fees |  |  | 200,250 | (2) |  |  | 123,583 | (3)
Tax Fees |  |  | 630,636 | (4) |  |  | 425,259 | (4)
All Other Fees |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Total |  | $ | 1,929,809 |  |  | $ | 1,310,548 |

(1) | Includes fees billed for professional services rendered for the annual financial statement audit, quarterly reviews and review of documents to be filed with the SEC.

(2) | Includes fees billed for employee benefit plan (“EBP”) audit and due diligence associated with potential transactions.

(3) | Includes fees billed for EBP audit and audit related assistance/consents with SEC filings/amendments and financing arrangements.

(4) | Includes fees billed for tax compliance.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The formal written charter for our Audit Committee requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided to us by our independent auditor, and establish policies and procedures for the Audit Committee’s pre-approval of permitted services in compliance with applicable SEC rules and review such pre-approval policies at least quarterly.

Proposal 2 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On at least an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and generally pre-approves the services (and related fee levels or budgeted amounts) that may be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm without first obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. Any subcommittee of the Audit Committee to which the Audit Committee delegates authority to make pre-approval decisions must report any such pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. If circumstances arise where it becomes necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval categories or above the pre-approved amounts, the Audit Committee requires pre-approval for such additional services or such additional amounts.

All of the services listed in the table above provided by RSM were approved by our Audit Committee.

Vote Required for Approval

The ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions) by holders of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class. The voting options are “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN”. A vote marked as an “Abstention” is not considered a vote cast and will therefore not affect the outcome of this proposal. Broker discretionary voting is allowed for this proposal, as this is considered a discretionary matter. Thus brokers are permitted to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

|  |  |  | The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of RSM as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter, which is reviewed annually by the Audit Committee. Additionally, a brief description of the primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee is included in this Proxy Statement under the discussion of “Corporate Governance — Audit Committee.” Under the Audit Committee charter, management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the application of accounting and financial reporting principles and our internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing our financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and RSM, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The Audit Committee also discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by applicable standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC.

Based upon the review and discussions described in the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC.

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Corporate Governance Guidelines address, among other things, items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of its directors and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable to the Company and the Board. In addition, the Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive and senior financial officers. Copies of the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are posted on the “Governance — Governance Documents” section of the “Investors” page of our website located at www.oppfi.com, or by writing to our Corporate Secretary at our offices at 130 E. Randolph Street, Suite 3400, Chicago, IL 60601. We will post amendments to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or waivers of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors and officers on the same website.

Board Composition

Our business affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. The Board consists of six 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 has the right to nominate five directors to the Board, two of which qualify as independent under Rule 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (“NYSE Independent”), and who initially were Theodore Schwartz, Todd Schwartz, David Vennettilli, Christina Favilla and Jocelyn Moore. The Investor Rights Agreement also provided that the 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. Jared Kaplan resigned as a director as of November 7, 2022.

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 2025, are Christina Favilla and Jocelyn Moore;

| • |  | the Class II directors, whose terms will expire in 2026, are Theodore Schwartz and Greg Zeeman; and

| • |  | the Class III directors, whose terms will expire following the Annual Meeting, are Todd Schwartz and David Vennettilli.

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) 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 (v) 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 Status

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 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, as discussed below.

|  | 15 |  |

##### Table of Contents

Corporate Governance

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. As of the record date, the SCG Holders beneficially owned approximately 83.9% 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, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. 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 independent directors on our Board, and the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee do not currently consist entirely of independent directors. 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.

Director Independence

A director will only qualify as NYSE Independent if, in the opinion of the board of directors, 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 of directors 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 and Audit Committee Independent, representing three of our six directors, and that Mr. Zeeman and Ms. Favilla are Compensation Committee Independent.

Board Leadership Structure

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. Ms. Jocelyn Moore has been our Lead Director since September 2021.

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 Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board be the same person. Mr. Todd Schwartz currently 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.

Compensation Consultants

The Compensation Committee has the authority under its charter to retain outside consultants or advisors as it deems necessary or advisable. In accordance with this authority, the Compensation Committee engaged the services of Frederic W. Cook & Co. Inc. as its independent outside compensation consultant.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, (i) as a member of the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of another entity, one of whose officers served on our Compensation Committee, or (ii) as a member of the Compensation Committee of another entity, one of whose officers served on the Board.

Related Party Transaction Policy

We have adopted a formal written related person transaction policy that sets 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 Audit Committee or another independent body of our Board. No related person transaction will be entered into without the approval or ratification of the 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.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board has the overall responsibility for risk oversight, including, as part of regular Board and committee meetings, understanding the principal risks associated with our business on an ongoing basis and overseeing the key risk decisions of management, which includes comprehending the appropriate balance between risks and rewards. A fundamental part of risk oversight is not only understanding the material risks we face and the steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for us. Our Board’s involvement in reviewing our business strategy, long-range plan and annual budget is an integral aspect of our Board’s assessment of management’s tolerance for risk and its determination of what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for us. While our full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight and is currently overseeing our business continuity risks and regulatory and compliance risks, it is supported in this function by our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of the committees regularly reports to the Board.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities by periodically reviewing our accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of our financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, our major financial risk exposures and our cybersecurity, information technology, data protection, privacy and compliance risk management. The Audit Committee directly oversees and regularly reviews our cybersecurity program, receiving periodic reports from our Chief Information Security Officer on various matters including risk assessment results, progress of risk reduction initiatives, feedback from external auditors, control maturity assessments and relevant internal and industry cybersecurity incidents. Through its regular meetings with management, including the accounting and finance, legal, internal audit, regulatory compliance and information technology and security functions, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses significant areas of our business and summarizes for our Board areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors.

Our Compensation Committee assists our Board by overseeing and evaluating risks related to our compensation structure and programs, including whether they encourage excessive risk-taking, as well as the formulation, administration and regulatory compliance with respect to compensation matters, and coordinating, along with the Chair of the Board, succession planning discussions. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our Board by overseeing and evaluating programs and risks associated our Board’s organization, structure, membership and corporate governance, including environmental, social and governance matters. In addition, our Board and its committees receive periodic detailed operating performance reviews from management.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the SEC. Such executive officers, directors and stockholders also are required by SEC rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations from the Company’s directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, the Company believes that its directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them for the year ended December 31, 2023 except that; Mr. McKay filed a Form 4 in 2023 reporting two late transactions that occurred in 2022; and Ms. Favilla, Ms. Moore and Messrs. Theodore Schwartz, Vennettilli, and Zeeman each filed a Form 4 in 2023 reporting one late transaction that occurred in 2022.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our Charter and 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 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 that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, OppFi-LLC, OppFi Shares, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OFS”), and Todd G. Schwartz, in his capacity as the representative of the Members (as defined therein) (in such capacity, the “Members’ Representative”), the Company is required to maintain all such indemnification provisions in our Charter and Bylaws until at least the sixth anniversary of the Closing, which is July 20, 2027, 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.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines contain an Anti-Hedging Policy that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The policy generally prohibits our directors, officers and employees from engaging in speculative transactions in the Company’s securities, such as the purchase or sale of puts, calls, options or other derivative securities based on the Company’s securities. The policy also prohibits hedging or monetization transactions, such as forward sale contracts, in which the stockholder continues to own the underlying security without all the risks or rewards of ownership.

Communications with the Board

Any stockholder or any other interested party who desires to communicate with our Board, our non-management directors or any specified individual director may do so by directing such correspondence to the attention of the Corporate Secretary at our offices at 130 E. Randolph Street, Suite 3400, Chicago, IL 60601 or by email at corporate.secretary@oppfi.com. The Corporate Secretary will forward the communication to the relevant director or directors as appropriate.

Director Compensation

The Board compensation program (the “Director Compensation Program”) 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 for 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 under the OppFi Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which will vest in their 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.

Executive Compensation

Overview of Executive Compensation

This section provides an overview of our executive compensation programs, including a narrative description of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table below. As an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company,” as such terms are defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), 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 each person who served as our principal executive officer during 2023 and the two most highly compensated executive officers who did not serve as our principal executive officer whose total compensation for 2023 exceeded $100,000 and who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2023. We refer to these individuals as “named executive officers.” As an emerging growth company, we are not required to hold a “say-on-pay” vote or include Compensation Discussion & Analysis disclosure in this Proxy Statement.

For 2023, OppFi’s named executive officers were:

Todd Schwartz Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board |  | Pamela Johnson Chief Financial Officer |  | Christopher McKay Chief Risk and Analytics Officer

The objective of our executive compensation program is to provide a total compensation package that will enable us to attract, motivate and retain outstanding individuals, align the interests of our executive team with those of our equity holders, encourage individual and collective contributions to the successful execution of our short- and long-term business strategies and reward named executive officers for performance.

2023 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 2023 Summary Compensation Table for the base salary amounts earned by the named executive officers in 2023.

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 2023, a bonus plan (the “2023 Bonus Plan”) was designed for and implemented by the Company. The 2023 Bonus Plan established the bonus metrics for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for our named executive officers and provided that 75% of the bonus for each named executive officer would be awarded based on the achievement of certain financial metrics identified under the 2023 Bonus Plan, with a payout threshold of 85% of each metric to be achieved for any payment and a payout cap of 200% on each metric. The 2023 Bonus Plan also provided that 25% of the bonus would be awarded based on individual performance. Discretion was applied by the Board to establish an overall payout of 100 % of the target bonus, with an increased percentage of the overall payout derived from individual performance, for each member of the senior leadership team, including each of the named executive officers, other than Todd Schwartz. See the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards” column in the 2023 Summary Compensation Table for the bonus amounts earned by the named executive officers in 2023 under the 2023 Bonus Plan.

Equity Awards

The OppFi Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan

On July 20, 2021, the Company established 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, 2023, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan was 17,257,521 shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares is subject to annual increases beginning on January 1, 2023 and continuing on the first day of each subsequent fiscal year through and including

Executive Compensation

the tenth anniversary of the commencement of the initial annual increase, which are currently equal to the lesser of five percent of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V 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, 2023, the Company had only granted awards in the form of options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units.

Stock options granted to date under the Plan (“Options”) generally vest over four years with 25% of 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 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. The named executive officers were not granted any equity awards during 2023.

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 of OFMH (“Class A Shares”) 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. One hundred percent (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, one hundred percent (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

The Company 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, the Company has historically matched 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. The Company also provides semi-annual HSA matching contributions to those eligible plan participants who are actively employed at the time of each match payment and are enrolled in our high deductible medical plan. Matching payments are generally made on the second pay dates of March and September of each calendar year. Eligible plan participants who elect individual coverage receive a $125 employer contribution on each semiannual payment date, and those who also cover a spouse, child(ren), or family receive a $250 employer contribution on each semiannual payment date.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of our Common Stock as of the Record Date, April 9, 2024, by:

| • |  | each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock;

| • |  | each of our executive officers and directors; and

| • |  | our executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined according to the rules and regulations of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if such person possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options, warrants and exchange rights that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. 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 9, 2024. These shares were not deemed outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The following table also includes Class A common units of OppFi-LLC (“OppFi Units”), OppFi Units retained by the Members immediately following the Closing (“Retained OppFi Units”) and Earnout Units, in each case that may be exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of pursuant to the Members’ rights to exchange each Retained OppFi Unit from time to time for either one share of Class A Common Stock or, at the election of the Company, the cash equivalent of the market value of one share of Class A Common Stock (“Exchange Rights”), whether or not such Exchange Rights are or may be exercisable within 60 days of April 9, 2024.

The beneficial ownership of Common Stock is based on 19,311,623 shares of Class A Common Stock, 0 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), and 91,606,194 shares of Class V Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April 9, 2024.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that each person named in the table below has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Other than compensation and indemnification arrangements for our directors and executive officers, described above, the following is a description of each transaction since January 1, 2022 and each currently proposed transaction in which:

| • |  | we, any of our subsidiaries or FGNA have been or are to be a participant;

| • |  | the amounts involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of (i) $120,000 or (ii) 1% of the average of our total assets on a consolidated basis at year end for the past two fiscal years; and

| • |  | any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals or entities, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Related Party Transactions in Connection with the Business Combination

Tax Receivable Agreement

At the Closing, the Company, OppFi, the Members (as defined therein) and the Members’ Representative entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”), which provides for, among other things, payment by the Company 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. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s liability related to its expected obligations to the Members under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $25.0 million. Any such amounts payable will only be due once the relevant tax savings have been realized by the Company. See Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for a discussion of all assumptions related to the obligations to the Members under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

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 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.

Investor Rights Agreement

At the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor, D. Kyle Cerminara, Larry G. Swets, Jr., Joseph Moglia, Nicholas Rudd, Hassan Baqar and Robert Weeks (together with the Sponsor, the “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,

##### Table of Contents

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

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.

Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OppFi

Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company, OppFi and the Members entered into the OppFi A&R LLCA, which, among other things, (i) provided for a recapitalization of the ownership structure of OppFi, whereby following the execution of the OppFi A&R LLCA, the ownership structure of OppFi consists solely of the OppFi Units, (ii) designated the Company as the sole manager of OppFi, (iii) provides that beginning on the nine month anniversary of the Closing (unless otherwise waived by the Company, or, with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of 11,600,000 OppFi Units held by the Members, which shall not be subject to the nine month lock-up restrictions in the Investor Rights Agreement., 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 A&R LLCA.

Other Related Party Transactions

Christopher McKay is one of our executive officers. Mr. McKay’s daughter is an employee whose employment with the Company predates Mr. McKay’s designation as an executive officer in 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Ms. McKay’s total compensation was approximately $133,000. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Ms. McKay’s total compensation did not exceed $120,000.

Householding Information

Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this proxy statement to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if we believe the stockholders are members of the same family.

However, if stockholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the stockholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another stockholder and together both of the stockholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the stockholders should follow these instructions:

If the shares are registered in the name of the stockholder, the stockholder should contact us at our offices at to the attention of the Corporate Secretary at our offices at 130 E. Randolph Street, Suite 3400, Chicago, IL 60601 or by email at corporate.secretary@oppfi.com, to inform us of his or her request; or
