      <div>On February 19, 2020, USA Technologies, Inc. (&#8220;USAT&#8221;) hosted a conference call and webcast to review its second quarter fiscal year 2020 financial results.&#160; During the call, Donald W. Layden, Jr., the Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief
        Executive Officer of USAT, made the remarks reproduced below:</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>&#8220;Let me comment quickly on the ongoing proxy contest with Hudson Executive Capital. The Board has remained steadfast in their position that if there is going to be a change in the majority of the board, then USAT shareholders deserve a premium
        for their shares to allow for a change of control. Individual shareholders have their own motivations for actions they take, and our board has tried to factor those motivations as we make decisions that benefit all of our shareholders. For example,
        we have been advised by legal counsel that Hudson Executive Capital has triggered a provision of Pennsylvania law in their decision to attempt to take control of the USAT Board. As a result, Hudson is required to disgorge, or surrender to USAT, any
        profits on a sale of their shares in the company for a period of 18 months after triggering the obligation under the statute, including as a result of an M&amp;A transaction. We believe any of those profits belong to USAT, and so advised Hudson
        last November. Surprisingly, Hudson never addressed this matter in any of the multiple proxy materials they have been circulating for the past three months. Obviously, an assessment of the likelihood of recovering these profits is among many
        factors our board has used in assessing Hudson&#8217;s position. Regardless of this ongoing issue, and as demonstrated by today&#8217;s results, we are focused on improving the performance of our business and capturing the significant opportunities in our
        space.&#8221;</div>

          interests by security holdings or otherwise, in USAT&#8217;s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on October 9, 2019. To the extent the interests of certain participants, by security holdings or
          otherwise, have changed since June 30, 2019, such changes have been or will be reflected on Form 8-Ks, Form 3s and Form 4s filed or to be filed by USAT with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of such individuals can also be
          obtained from the definitive proxy statement for USAT&#8217;s 2020 annual meeting of shareholders when it is filed by USAT with the SEC.
