PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
DATED JANUARY 2 9, 2021, SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

Dear Stockholder:

On December 18, 2020, FinServ Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“FinServ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”) with Keys Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ (“Merger Sub 1”), Keys Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ (“Merger Sub 2”), Katapult Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Katapult”), and Orlando Zayas, in his capacity as the representative of all Pre-Closing Holders (as defined in the merger agreement). If the merger agreement is adopted by Katapult’s stockholders, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of common stock (“New Katapult common stock”) of New Katapult (as defined below) to be issued in connection with the merger is approved by FinServ’s stockholders, and the merger is subsequently completed, Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Katapult, with Katapult surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ (the “First Merger”), followed immediately by the merger of the resulting company with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “merger”), and FinServ’s name will be changed from “FinServ Acquisition Corp.” to “Katapult Holdings, Inc.” (“New Katapult”).

At the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), each share of Katapult common stock (including common stock to be issued as a result of the conversion of Katapult preferred stock in connection with the merger) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than dissenting shares and unvested Katapult restricted shares that will not vest in connection with the merger) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration, in accordance with an allocation schedule to be provided by Katapult, consisting of (i) cash consideration, as determined under the merger agreement and further described herein, (ii) a number of shares of New Katapult common stock equal to (a) $833.0 million (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and net of the value of all Katapult options to be converted into New Katapult options), minus the aggregate amount of cash paid in clause (i), divided by (b) 10 and (iii) the applicable portion of the 7,500,000 restricted shares of New Katapult common stock that will vest upon, among other things, the achievement of certain earn-out thresholds prior to the sixth anniversary of the closing of the merger. See “The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Based on the number of shares of Katapult preferred stock and the number of shares of Katapult common stock, in each case outstanding as of , the record date for the Special Meeting (as defined below), the total number of shares of New Katapult common stock expected to be issued in the merger at the closing of the merger is approximately and , and holders of shares of Katapult common stock as of immediately prior to the closing of the merger (and following the conversion of Katapult preferred stock into Katapult common stock) will hold, in the aggregate, approximately % and % of the issued and outstanding shares of New Katapult common stock immediately following the closing of the merger, assuming no shares of FinServ common stock are redeemed and the maximum number of shares of FinServ common stock are redeemed, respectively.

FinServ’s units, Class A Common Stock and warrants are publicly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”). We intend to list the combined company’s common stock and warrants on the Nasdaq under the symbols KPLT and KPLTW, respectively, upon the closing of the merger. FinServ will not have units traded following closing of the merger.

Only holders of record of FinServ Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (each as defined herein) at the close of business on , 2021 are entitled to notice of the Special Meeting and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. A complete list of FinServ stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for 10 days before the Special Meeting at the principal executive offices of FinServ for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting. The eligible FinServ stockholder list will also be available at that time on the Special Meeting website for examination by any stockholder attending the Special Meeting live audio webcast.

Pursuant to FinServ’s Existing Charter, FinServ will provide holders (“public stockholders”) of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account (the “Trust Account”), which holds the proceeds of FinServ’s initial public offering (“FinServ’s IPO”) and certain of the proceeds from the private sale of FinServ units (the “Private Placement Units”) consummated concurrently with the closing of FinServ’s IPO, as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Proposal (including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to FinServ to pay taxes) upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $251.3 million on September 30, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.05, excluding additional interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to FinServ to pay taxes. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they

vote for the Business Combination Proposal. A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Class A Common Stock. FinServ Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and FinServ’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the merger with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock they may hold. Currently, the Sponsor owns approximately 21.7% of FinServ’s common stock, consisting of (i) the shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), initially purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement and a subsequent dividend thereon prior to FinServ’s IPO (together with the Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion thereof, the “Founder Shares”) and (ii) the shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Private Placement Units, purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement in conjunction with FinServ’s IPO. Founder Shares and Private Placement Units will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. The Sponsor and FinServ’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Approval of the Charter Proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately. Approval of the election of each of the seven (7) directors nominated in the Director Election Proposal requires a plurality of the votes cast by holders of common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class, regardless of whether a quorum is present.

As of September 30, 2020, there was approximately $251.3 million in the Trust Account, which FinServ intends to use for the purposes of consummating a business combination within the time period described in this proxy statement/prospectus and to pay approximately $9,350,000 in deferred underwriting commissions to the underwriters of FinServ’s IPO. Each redemption of Class A Common Stock by its public stockholders will decrease the amount in the Trust Account. FinServ will not consummate the merger if the redemption of Class A Common Stock would result in FinServ’s failure to have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) (or any successor rule). In addition, under the terms of the merger agreement, Katapult’s obligation to complete the merger is conditioned upon FinServ having at least $225 million of available distributable cash, after giving effect to the PIPE Investment (as defined herein).

If FinServ stockholders fail to approve the Business Combination Proposal or the Nasdaq Proposal, or, unless otherwise waived by Katapult and FinServ, the Charter Proposals or the Incentive Plan Proposal, the merger will not occur. The Charter Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal. The proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice explains the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as well as the proposals to be considered at the Special Meeting. Please review the proxy statement/prospectus carefully.

The FinServ board of directors has set , 2021 as the record date for the Special Meeting. Only holders of record of shares of FinServ common stock at the close of business on , 2021 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Any stockholder entitled to attend and vote at the Special Meeting may attend the meeting virtually and is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on such stockholder’s behalf. Such proxy need not be a holder of shares of FinServ common stock.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF FINSERV COMMON STOCK YOU OWN.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER

Q: WHAT IS THE MERGER?

A: FinServ, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Katapult and Orlando Zayas, in his capacity as the representative of all Pre-Closing Holders, have entered into the merger agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Katapult, with Katapult surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ, followed immediately by the merger of the resulting company with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ.

FinServ will hold the Special Meeting to, among other things, obtain the approvals required for the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (the “FinServ Shareholder Approval”) and you are receiving this proxy statement/prospectus in connection with such meeting. Katapult is also separately providing consent solicitation materials to the holders of Katapult common stock and preferred stock to solicit, among other things, the required written consent to adopt and approve in all respects the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Business Combination Proposal”) and to approve the ancillary agreements thereto. See “The Merger Agreement” beginning on page 140. In addition, a copy of the merger agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. We urge you to carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and the merger agreement in their entirety.

Q: WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS DOCUMENT?

A: FinServ is sending this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders to help them decide how to vote their shares of FinServ common stock with respect to the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting.

The merger cannot be completed unless FinServ’s stockholders approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and, unless otherwise waived by Katapult and FinServ, the Charter Proposals and the Incentive Plan Proposal, set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. Information about the Special Meeting, the merger and the other business to be considered by stockholders at the Special Meeting is contained in this proxy statement/prospectus.

This document constitutes a proxy statement and a prospectus of FinServ. It is a proxy statement because the board of directors of FinServ is soliciting proxies using this proxy statement/prospectus from its stockholders. It is a prospectus because FinServ, in connection with the merger, is offering shares of New Katapult common stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of Katapult common stock. See “The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration.”

Q: WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO FINSERV’S SECURITIES UPON CONSUMMATION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

A: FinServ’s units, Class A Common Stock and warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols FSRVU, FSRV, and FSRVW, respectively. Upon consummation of the business combination, FinServ will have one class of common stock which will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol KPLT and its warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol KPLTW. FinServ will not have units traded on Nasdaq following consummation of the business combination and such units will automatically be separated into their component securities without any action needed to be taken on the part of the holders. FinServ warrant holders and those stockholders who do not elect to have their FinServ shares redeemed need not deliver their shares of Class A Common Stock or warrant certificates to FinServ or to FinServ’s transfer agent and they will remain outstanding.

Table of Contents

Q: WHAT WILL KATAPULT STOCKHOLDERS RECEIVE IN THE MERGER?

A: At the First Effective Time, each share of Katapult common stock (including common stock to be issued as a result of the conversion of Katapult preferred stock in connection with the merger) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than dissenting shares and Unvested Katapult Restricted Shares (as defined herein)) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration, in accordance with an allocation schedule to be provided by Katapult (the “Allocation Schedule”), consisting of (i) cash consideration, as determined under the merger agreement and further described herein, (ii) a number of shares of New Katapult common stock equal to (a) $833.0 million (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and net of the value of all Katapult Options (as defined herein) to be converted into New Katapult options), minus the aggregate amount of cash paid in clause (i), divided by (b) 10 and (iii) the applicable portion of the 7,500,000 restricted shares of New Katapult common stock that will vest upon, among other things, the achievement of certain earn-out thresholds prior to the sixth anniversary of the closing of the merger. See “The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q: HOW WILL OUTSTANDING KATAPULT EQUITY AWARDS BE TREATED IN THE MERGER?

A: Each option to purchase Katapult common stock granted pursuant to Katapult’s equity incentive plan (“Katapult Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a Pre-Closing Holder who has been actively employed by the Company for at least 730 consecutive days as of the First Effective Time will accelerate and become fully vested as of the First Effective Time in accordance with the terms of Katapult’s equity incentive plan. As of the First Effective Time, each Katapult Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a Pre-Closing Holder will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of New Katapult common stock in the manner set forth in the merger agreement.

In addition, each restricted share of Katapult common stock granted pursuant to Katapult’s equity incentive plan (the “Katapult Restricted Shares”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and vests as a result of the Transactions (a “Vested Katapult Restricted Share”) will be cancelled and entitled to receive a portion of the merger consideration in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, and each Katapult Restricted Share that is not a Vested Katapult Restricted Share and that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (an “Unvested Katapult Restricted Share”) will be cancelled for no consideration.

In addition, each Pre-Closing Holder who is actively employed by Katapult as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time and holds a Katapult Option and/or Vested Katapult Restricted Shares will receive such holder’s allocation of the Earn-out Shares (as defined herein).

Q: WHEN WILL THE MERGER BE COMPLETED?

A: The parties currently expect that the merger will be completed during the first half of 2021. However, neither FinServ nor Katapult can assure you of when or if the merger will be completed and it is possible that factors outside of the control of both companies could result in the merger being completed at a different time or not at all. FinServ must first obtain the approval of FinServ stockholders for each of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus for their approval (other than the Adjournment Proposal) and FinServ and Katapult must also first obtain certain necessary regulatory approvals and satisfy other closing conditions. See “The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 151.

Q: WHAT HAPPENS TO KATAPULT STOCKHOLDERS IF THE MERGER IS NOT COMPLETED?

A: If the merger is not completed, Katapult stockholders will not receive any consideration for their shares of Katapult common stock and Katapult preferred stock will not be converted into Katapult common stock. Instead, Katapult will remain an independent company. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination” and “Risk Factors” beginning on page 153 and page 23, respectively.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE FINSERV SPECIAL MEETING

Q: WHAT AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON AND WHY IS THIS APPROVAL NECESSARY?

A: FinServ stockholders are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

1. the Business Combination Proposal;

2. the Charter Proposals;

3. the Director Election Proposal;

4. the Nasdaq Proposal

5. the Incentive Plan Proposal; and

6. the Adjournment Proposal.

If FinServ stockholders fail to approve the Business Combination Proposal or the Nasdaq Proposal, or, unless otherwise waived by Katapult and FinServ, the Charter Proposals or the Incentive Plan Proposal, the merger will not occur. The Charter Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

Q: WHY IS FINSERV PROPOSING THE MERGER?

A: FinServ was organized to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On November 5, 2019, FinServ completed its initial public offering (“IPO”). A total of $250.0 million, comprised of $245.6 million of the proceeds from FinServ’s IPO (including aggregate fees of $9.35 million as deferred underwriting commissions) and $4.4 million of the proceeds from the concurrent private sale of FinServ units were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). Since FinServ’s IPO, FinServ’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.

Katapult is a leading provider of e-commerce point-of-sale purchase options for nonprime U.S. consumers. Katapult’s fully digital, next generation technology platform provides consumers with a flexible lease-purchase option enabling them to obtain everyday durable goods from Katapult’s network of top tier e-commerce retailers. Katapult’s sophisticated end-to-end technology platform provides both a seamless integration with merchants and exceptional customer experiences.

Based on its due diligence investigations of Katapult and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Katapult in the course of their negotiations in connection with the merger agreement, FinServ believes that Katapult aligns well with the objectives laid out in its investment thesis, including a differentiated FinTech e-commerce payment platform, with significant opportunities to continue its growth trajectory by expanding its merchant and consumer base. As a result, FinServ believes that a merger with Katapult will provide FinServ stockholders with an opportunity to participate in the ownership of a publicly-listed company with significant growth potential at an attractive valuation. See the section entitled “The Merger — Recommendation of the FinServ Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger.”

Q: DID THE FINSERV BOARD OBTAIN A THIRD-PARTY VALUATION OR FAIRNESS OPINION IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT TO PROCEED WITH THE MERGER?

A: FinServ’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the merger. FinServ’s officers, directors and advisors have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that

vi

Table of Contents

their experience and backgrounds enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the merger. In addition, FinServ’s officers, directors and advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of FinServ’s board of directors and advisors in valuing Katapult’s business.

Q: DO I HAVE REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A: If you are a holder of Class A Common Stock, you have the right to demand that FinServ redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of FinServ’s IPO and certain of the proceeds from the private sale of FinServ units consummated concurrently with the closing of FinServ’s IPO, as of two (2) business days prior to the Special Meeting (including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to FinServ to pay taxes) upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (such rights, “redemption rights”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Class A Common Stock, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption with respect to more than 15% of the Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, all shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of 15% held by a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed.

Holders of the outstanding warrants of FinServ do not have redemption rights with respect to such warrants in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Proposal.

Under FinServ’s Existing Charter, the merger may be consummated only if FinServ has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after giving effect to all holders of Class A Common Stock that properly demand redemption of their shares for cash. In addition, under the terms of the merger agreement, Katapult’s obligation to complete the merger is conditioned upon the satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition.

Q: WILL HOW I VOTE AFFECT MY ABILITY TO EXERCISE REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A: No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your shares of Class A Common Stock for or against, or whether you abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, the Business Combination Proposal can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their Class A Common Stock and no longer remain stockholders and the merger may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by public stockholders. With fewer shares of Class A Common Stock and public stockholders, the trading market for Class A Common Stock may be less liquid than the market for Class A Common Stock prior to the merger and FinServ may not be able to meet the listing standards of a national securities exchange. In addition, with fewer funds available from the Trust Account, the capital infusion from the Trust Account into Katapult’s business will be reduced and the amount of working capital available to New Katapult following the merger may be reduced. Your decision to exercise your redemption rights with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock will have no effect on warrants of FinServ you may also hold.

Q: HOW DO I EXERCISE MY REDEMPTION RIGHTS?

A: If you are a holder of Class A Common Stock and wish to exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that FinServ redeem your shares for cash no later than the second business day preceding the vote on the Business Combination Proposal by delivering your stock to FinServ’s transfer agent physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian) system prior to the vote at the Special Meeting. Any holder of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to demand that such holder’s shares be redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was approximately $251.3 million, or $10.05 per share, as of September 30, 2020). Such amount, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to

vii

Table of Contents

FinServ to pay its taxes, will be paid promptly upon consummation of the merger. However, under Delaware law, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims that could take priority over those of FinServ’s public stockholders exercising redemption rights, regardless of whether such holders vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any proposal other than the Business Combination Proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of Class A Common Stock, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination Proposal at the Special Meeting. If you deliver your shares for redemption to FinServ’s transfer agent and later decide prior to the Special Meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that FinServ’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically).

Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of redemption rights must be received by FinServ’s transfer agent prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Special Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent prior to the vote at the Special Meeting.

If a holder of Class A Common Stock properly makes a request for redemption and the shares of Class A Common Stock are delivered as described to FinServ’s transfer agent as described herein, then, if the merger is consummated, FinServ will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account. If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of Class A Common Stock for cash.

For a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for holders of Class A Common Stock with respect to the exercise of these redemption rights, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences of a Redemption of FinServ Public Shares” beginning on page 168. The consequences of a redemption to any particular stockholder will depend on that stockholder’s particular facts and circumstances. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine your tax consequences from the exercise of your redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax laws in light of your particular circumstances.

Q: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FUNDS DEPOSITED IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AFTER CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER?

A: The net proceeds of FinServ’s IPO, together with funds raised from the private sale of units simultaneously with the consummation of FinServ’s IPO, were placed in the Trust Account immediately following FinServ’s IPO. After consummation of the merger, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay holders of the Class A Common Stock who exercise redemption rights, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger (including aggregate fees of $9.35 million as deferred underwriting commissions related to FinServ’s IPO) and for Katapult’s working capital and general corporate purposes.

Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF THE MERGER IS NOT CONSUMMATED?

A: If FinServ does not complete the merger with Katapult for any reason, FinServ would search for another target business with which to complete a business combination. If FinServ does not complete the merger with Katapult or another target business by November 5, 2021, FinServ must redeem 100% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the amount then held in the Trust Account (including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to FinServ to pay taxes) divided by the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. The Sponsor has no redemption rights in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period and, accordingly, its Founder Shares and Private Placement Units (each as defined herein) will be worthless. Additionally, in the event of such liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to FinServ’s outstanding warrants. Accordingly, such warrants will expire worthless.

viii

Table of Contents

Q: HOW DOES THE SPONSOR INTEND TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSALS?

A: The Sponsor owns of record and is entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 21.7% of the outstanding shares of FinServ common stock. The Sponsor has agreed to vote any Founder Shares and any shares of Class A Common Stock held by it as of the record date for the Special Meeting (including underlying the Private Placement Units), in favor of the proposals. See “Other Agreements — FinServ Letter Agreement.”

Q: WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM AT THE FINSERV SPECIAL MEETING?

A: A majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding FinServ common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting as of the record date must be present virtually or by proxy, at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. The holders of the Founder Shares, who currently own approximately 21.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, will count towards this quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the Special Meeting has power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, shares of FinServ common stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q: WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH PROPOSAL AT THE FINSERV SPECIAL MEETING?

A: The Business Combination Proposal: The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class at a meeting at which a quorum is present, is required to approve the Business Combination Proposal. FinServ stockholders must approve the Business Combination Proposal in order for the merger to occur. If FinServ stockholders fail to approve the Business Combination Proposal or the Nasdaq Proposal, or, unless otherwise waived by Katapult and FinServ, the Charter Proposals or the Incentive Plan Proposal, the merger will not occur. The Charter Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal. As further discussed in the section entitled “Other Agreements — FinServ Letter Agreement,” beginning on page 155 of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors have entered into an agreement with FinServ (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which the Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 21.7% of the aggregate voting power of FinServ common stock in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

The Charter Proposals: The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately, is required to approve the Charter Proposals. The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Charter Proposals, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Charter Proposals, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Charter Proposals will not be effected.

The Director Election Proposal: Approval of the election of each of the seven (7) directors nominated in the Director Election Proposal requires a plurality of the votes cast by holders of common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Notwithstanding the approval of the Director Election Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Director Election Proposal will not be effected.

The Nasdaq Proposal: The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class at a meeting at which a quorum is present, is required to approve the Nasdaq Proposal. The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Nasdaq Proposal will not be effected.

ix

Table of Contents

The Incentive Plan Proposal: The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class at a meeting at which a quorum is present, is required to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal. The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Incentive Plan Proposal will not be effected.

The Adjournment Proposal: The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class, regardless of whether a quorum is present, is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal. The merger is not conditioned upon the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

Q: DO ANY OF FINSERV’S DIRECTORS OR OFFICERS HAVE INTERESTS IN THE MERGER THAT MAY DIFFER FROM OR BE IN ADDITION TO THE INTERESTS OF FINSERV STOCKHOLDERS?

A: FinServ’s executive officers and certain non-employee directors may have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of FinServ stockholders generally. The FinServ board of directors was aware of and considered these interests to the extent such interests existed at the time, among other matters, in approving the merger agreement and in recommending that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby be approved by the stockholders of FinServ. See “The Merger — Interests of FinServ’s Directors and Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 135 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

A: If your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares.

However, brokers are not permitted to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of matters that the Nasdaq determines to be “non-routine” without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. It is expected that all proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting are “non-routine” matters.

xi

Table of Contents

If you are a FinServ stockholder holding your shares in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee will not vote your shares on the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. The failure of your broker to vote will be the equivalent of a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Proposals, but will have no effect on the vote count for the other proposals.

Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I SELL MY SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK BEFORE THE FINSERV SPECIAL MEETING?

A: The record date for the Special Meeting will be earlier than the date of the Special Meeting. If you transfer your shares of Class A Common Stock after the record date, but before the Special Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your shares of Class A Common Stock because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon the consummation of the merger in accordance with the provisions described herein. If you transfer your shares of Class A Common Stock prior to the record date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the Special Meeting or redeem those shares for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in the Trust Account.

Q: WHAT IF I ATTEND THE FINSERV SPECIAL MEETING AND ABSTAIN OR DO NOT VOTE?

A: For purposes of the Special Meeting, an abstention occurs when a stockholder attends the meeting online and does not vote or returns a proxy with an “abstain” vote.

If you are a FinServ stockholder that attends the Special Meeting virtually and fails to vote on the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, your failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Proposals, but will have no effect on the vote count for such other proposals. If you are a FinServ stockholder that attends the Special Meeting virtually and you respond to such proposals with an “abstain” vote, your “abstain” vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Proposals but will have no effect on any of the other proposals.

The terms and conditions of the merger are contained in the merger agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read the merger agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the merger.

If the merger agreement is approved and adopted and the merger is subsequently completed, Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Katapult, with Katapult surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ, followed immediately by the merger of the resulting company with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ.

Merger Consideration (page 1 40)

Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each share of Katapult preferred stock issued and outstanding will be converted into a number of shares of Katapult common stock in accordance with the (i) irrevocable written consent executed by certain Pre-Closing Holders, who, collectively, hold at least a majority of Katapult preferred stock (the “Conversion Written Consent”) and (ii) fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Katapult (the “Katapult charter”) (the “Katapult Preferred Conversion”).

At the First Effective Time, each share of Katapult common stock (including common stock to be issued as a result of the conversion of Katapult preferred stock in connection with the merger) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than dissenting shares and Unvested Katapult Restricted Shares) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, consisting of (i) cash consideration, as determined under the merger agreement and further described herein, (ii) a number of shares of New Katapult common stock equal to (a) $833.0 million (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and net of the value of all Katapult Options to be converted into New Katapult options), minus the aggregate amount of cash paid in clause (i), divided by (b) 10 and (iii) the applicable portion of the 7,500,000 restricted shares of New Katapult common stock that will vest upon, among other things, the achievement of certain earn-out thresholds prior to the sixth anniversary of the closing of the merger. See “The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Recommendation of the FinServ Board of Directors (page 13 3)

The FinServ board of directors has unanimously determined that the merger, on the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, is advisable and in the best interests of FinServ and its stockholders and has directed that the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus be submitted to its stockholders for approval at the Special Meeting on the date and at the time and place set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. The FinServ board of directors unanimously recommends that FinServ’s stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposals, “FOR” the election of each of the seven (7) directors nominated in the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary). See “The Merger — Recommendation of the FinServ Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger.”

Table of Contents

The FinServ board of directors has fixed the close of business on , 2021 as the record date for determining the holders of FinServ common stock entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. As of the record date, there were shares of Class A Common Stock and 6,250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting held by holders of record. Each share of FinServ common stock entitles the holder to one (1) vote at the Special Meeting on each proposal to be considered at the Special Meeting. As of the record date, the Sponsor and FinServ’s directors and executive officers and their affiliates owned and were entitled to vote 6,915,000 shares of FinServ common stock, representing approximately 21.7% of the shares of FinServ common stock outstanding on that date. FinServ currently expects that the Sponsor and its directors and officers will vote their shares in favor of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, and, pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with FinServ’s IPO and the execution of the merger agreement, the Sponsor and FinServ’s directors have agreed to do so. As of the record date, Katapult did not beneficially hold any shares of FinServ common stock.

A majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding FinServ common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting must be present, online or represented by proxy, at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting.

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of FinServ common stock, voting together as a single class at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Approval of the Charter Proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately. Approval of the election of each of the seven (7) directors nominated in the Director Election Proposal requires a plurality of the votes cast by holders of common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of FinServ common stock, voting together as a single class, regardless of whether a quorum is present.

If FinServ stockholders fail to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or, unless otherwise waived by Katapult and FinServ in accordance with the merger agreement, the Charter Proposals or the Incentive Plan Proposal, the merger will not occur. The Charter Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

FinServ’s Directors and Executive Officers Have Financial Interests in the Merger (page 13 5)

Certain of FinServ’s executive officers and directors may have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of FinServ’s stockholders. The members of the FinServ board of directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, when they approved the merger agreement and recommended that FinServ stockholders approve the proposals required to effect the merger. See “The Merger — Interests of FinServ’s Directors and Officers in the Merger.”

Treatment of Katapult Equity Awards (page 14 2)

• each Katapult Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a Pre-Closing Holder who has been actively employed by the Company for at least 730 consecutive days as of the First Effective Time will accelerate and become fully vested as of the First Effective Time in accordance with the terms of Katapult’s equity incentive plan. In addition, each Katapult Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a Pre-Closing Holder will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of New Katapult common stock in the manner set forth in the merger agreement;

Regulatory Approval Required for the Merger (page 13 7)

FinServ agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals and Katapult agreed to request early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act. FinServ and Katapult filed Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC on January 5, 2021.

Summary of Risk Factors

You should consider all the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus in deciding how to vote for the proposals presented in the proxy statement/prospectus. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in the section titled “Risk Factors,” alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

• Failure to effectively manage our costs could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

• Negative publicity about us or our industry could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

• Our results depend on more prominent presentation, integration, and support of our platform by our merchants.

• Real or perceived software errors, failures, bugs, defects, or outages could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

• Any significant disruption in, or errors in, service on our platform or relating to vendors, including events beyond our control, could prevent us from processing transactions on our platform or posting payments and have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

• Our ability to protect our confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information, including the confidential information of consumers on our platform, may be adversely affected by cyber-attacks, employee or other internal misconduct, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar disruptions.

• The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our working environment and diverted personnel resources and any prolonged effects of the pandemic may adversely impact our operations and employees.

• While we take precautions to prevent consumer identity fraud, it is possible that identity fraud may still occur or has occurred, which may adversely affect the performance of the lease-to-own transactions facilitated through our platform.

• The success of our business is dependent on factors affecting consumer spending that are not under our control.

• The success and growth of our business depends upon our ability to continuously innovate and develop new products and technologies.

• We have a history of operating losses and may not sustain profitability in the future.

• A large percentage of our customer acquisition is concentrated with a single merchant partner, and the loss of this merchant partner or any other significant merchant relationships would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

• We have experienced rapid growth, which may be difficult to sustain and which may place significant demands on our operational, administrative, and financial resources. Raising additional funds to sustain our growth by issuing securities may cause dilution to existing stockholders and raising funds through lending arrangements may restrict our operations.

• Our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements of our financial statements.

• FinServ has not obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, and consequently, there is no assurance from an independent source that the merger consideration is fair to its stockholders from a financial point of view.

• The consummation of the merger is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the merger may not be completed.

• Termination of the merger agreement could negatively impact Katapult and FinServ.

• Katapult will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.

• FinServ directors and officers may have interests in the merger different from the interests of FinServ stockholders.

• The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary and the actual financial condition and results of operations after the merger may differ materially.

• Nasdaq may delist New Katapult’s securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in its securities and subject New Katapult to additional trading restrictions.

• New Katapult’s stock price may change significantly following the merger and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

• There is no guarantee that a FinServ public stockholder’s decision whether to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put such stockholder in a better future economic position.

• If FinServ public stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

Ownership of New Katapult

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are shares of FinServ common stock issued and outstanding, including 6,250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, which will be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are an aggregate of 12,832,500 warrants outstanding. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) share of Class A Common Stock. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the merger and assuming no redemptions), assuming that each outstanding warrant is exercised and one (1) Class A Common Stock is issued as a result of such exercise, the FinServ fully-diluted stock capital would be shares of common stock.

The following table illustrates varying beneficial ownership levels in New Katapult immediately following the consummation of the transactions assuming the levels of redemptions by the public stockholders indicated:

|  | Share Ownership in New Katapult(1) No Redemptions(2) |  | Maximum Redemption(3)
|  | Number of Shares |  | Percentage of Outstanding Shares |  | Number of Shares |  | Percentage of Outstanding Shares
|  | (in millions) |  |  |  |  |  | (in millions)

(1) Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding. Figures and percentages do not give effect to the shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan. See “Proposal No. 12 — The Incentive Plan Proposal” for additional information. See “Basis of Presentation and Glossary” for additional information with respect to assumptions underlying New Katapult share calculations and ownership percentages.

(2) This scenario assumes that no shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed.

(3) This scenario assumes that 17,538,092 shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $176.3 million from the Trust Account, which is the maximum amount of redemptions that, after giving effect to the PIPE Investment, would result in the satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on FinServ’s historical financial statements and Katapult’s historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the merger, the PIPE Investment for an aggregate commitment amount of $150 million, and the Debt Refinancing completed by Katapult in the fourth quarter of 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives pro forma effect to the merger, treated as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes, the PIPE Investment, and the Debt Refinancing as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, give effect to the merger, the PIPE Investment, and the Debt Refinancing as if they had occurred on January 1, 2019, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). FinServ has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the merger, the PIPE Investment, and the Debt Refinancing.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. FinServ and Katapult have not had any historical relationship prior to the merger. Accordingly, no pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

This information should be read together with FinServ’s and Katapult’s historical financial statements and related notes, “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of FinServ,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Katapult,” and other financial information relating to FinServ and Katapult included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

UNAUDITED HISTORICAL COMPARATIVE AND PRO FORMA COMBINED PER SHARE DATA OF FINSERV AND KATAPULT

The following table sets forth selected historical comparative share information for FinServ and Katapult and unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information of New Katapult after giving effect to the merger, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

• Assuming no redemptions: This scenario assumes that no FinServ public stockholders exercise their redemption rights demanding redemption of their shares of Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, and thus the full amount held in the Trust Account as of closing is available for the merger; and

• Assuming maximum redemptions: This scenario assumes that FinServ public stockholders holding 17,538,092 shares of Class A Common Stock will exercise their redemption rights demanding redemption of their shares of Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion (approximately $10.05 per share) of the funds in the Trust Account. Under the merger agreement, it is a condition to Katapult’s obligations to close that after giving effect to any redemptions and the PIPE Investment, FinServ has at least $225 million in available distributable cash. This scenario gives effect to redemptions of 17,538,092 shares of Class A Common Stock for aggregate redemption payments of $176.3 million using a per-share redemption price of $10.05 (due to investment related gains in the Trust Account).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 was derived from the unaudited historical condensed balance sheet of FinServ as of September 30, 2020 and the unaudited historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of Katapult as of September 30, 2020 and gives effect to the merger, the PIPE Investment, and the Debt Refinancing as if they occurred on September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 give effect to the merger, the PIPE Investment, and the Debt Refinancing as if they occurred on January 1, 2019, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

This information is only a summary and should be read together with the selected historical financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, and the historical financial statements of FinServ and Katapult and related notes that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information of FinServ and Katapult is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can FinServ or Katapult assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business of FinServ and Katapult prior to the merger, and New Katapult following the merger, or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to FinServ or Katapult or persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. FinServ and Katapult prior to the merger, and New Katapult following the merger, undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

In addition, statements of belief and similar statements reflect the beliefs and opinions of FinServ or Katapult, as applicable, on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to FinServ or Katapult, as applicable, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and while such party believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and statements should not be read to indicate that FinServ or Katapult, as applicable, has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Market, ranking and industry data used throughout this proxy statement/prospectus is based on the good faith estimates of Katapult’s management, which in turn are based upon Katapult’s management’s review of internal surveys, independent industry surveys and publications, including reports by third-party research and publicly available information. These data involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. While Katapult is not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry data presented herein, its estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Katapult’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements; Market, Ranking and Other Industry Data,” you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote on the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. Although we have organized risks generally according to these categories in the discussion below, many of the risks may have ramifications in more than one category. These categories, therefore, should be viewed as a starting point for understanding the significant risks facing us and not as a limitation on the potential impact of the matters discussed. It also should be noted that our business may be adversely affected by a downturn in general economic conditions and other forces beyond our control. Issues such as unemployment rates, technological advances, inflation or deflation and consumer confidence among a host of other factors, will have a bearing on the amount of assets that are leased by consumers and the costs that we incur. Also, to the extent that we have a concentration of business in one or more states or regions of the country, general economic conditions in those states or regions may have a greater impact on our business. We cannot predict whether the risks and uncertainties discussed in this section, or other risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial, may develop into actual events and impact our businesses. If any one or more of them does so, the events could materially adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

Risks Relating to Katapult’s Business and Industry

References in this section to “we,” “our,” or “us” generally refer to Katapult, unless otherwise specified.

Operational Risks

Failure to effectively manage our costs could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

Certain elements of our cost structure are largely fixed in nature. Consumer spending remains uncertain, which makes it more challenging for us to maintain or increase our operating margins. The competitive environment in our industry and increasing price transparency means that the focus on achieving efficient operations is greater than ever. As a result, we must continuously focus on managing our cost structure. Failure to manage our overall cost of operations, labor and benefit rates, advertising and marketing expenses, operating leases, data costs, payment processing costs, cost of capital, or indirect spending could materially adversely affect our profitability.

Negative publicity about us or our industry could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Negative publicity about us or our industry, including the transparency, fairness, user experience, quality, and reliability of our platform or lease to own platforms in general, effectiveness of our risk model, our ability to effectively manage and resolve complaints, our privacy and security practices, litigation, regulatory activity, misconduct by our employees, funding sources, service providers, or others in our industry, the experience of consumers and investors with our platform or services or lease to own platforms in general, even if inaccurate, could adversely affect our reputation and the confidence in, and the use of, our platform, which could harm our reputation and cause disruptions to our platform. For instance, in October 2020, a data breach broker purported to offer customer records from a number of companies, including Katapult, for sale on a hacker forum. Although we determined with third party firms and our internal team that the compromised data was limited to non-sensitive information, we cannot guarantee that this publicity or any similar publicity in the future will not have a negative effect on our business or reputation. Any such reputational harm could further affect the behavior of consumers, including their willingness to utilize lease to own programs through our platform or to make payments on their leases. As a result, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

Misconduct and errors by our employees, vendors, and service providers could harm our business and reputation.

We are exposed to many types of operational risk, including the risk of misconduct and errors by our employees, vendors, and other service providers. Our business depends on our employees, vendors, and service providers to process a large number of increasingly complex transactions, including transactions that involve significant dollar amounts and lease-to-own transactions that involve the use and disclosure of personally

23

Table of Contents

identifiable information and business information. We could be adversely affected if transactions were redirected, misappropriated, or otherwise improperly executed, personal and business information was disclosed to unintended recipients, or an operational breakdown or failure in the processing of other transactions occurred, whether as a result of human error, a purposeful sabotage or a fraudulent manipulation of our operations or systems. In addition, the manner in which we store and use certain personal information and interact with consumers and merchants through our platform is governed by various federal and state laws. If any of our employees, vendors, or service providers take, convert, or misuse funds, documents, or data, or fail to follow protocol when interacting with consumers and merchants, we could be liable for damages and subject to regulatory actions and penalties. We could also be perceived to have facilitated or participated in the illegal misappropriation of funds, documents, or data, or the failure to follow protocol, and therefore be subject to civil or criminal liability. For example, our operations in the U.S. are subject to certain laws generally prohibiting companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions. Violations by our employees, contractors or agents of policies and procedures we have implemented to ensure compliance with these laws could subject us to civil or criminal investigations in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions, could lead to substantial civil and criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties, and related shareholder lawsuits, could cause us to incur significant legal fees, and could damage our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct or errors by employees, vendors, or service providers, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses. Any of these occurrences could result in our diminished ability to operate our business, potential liability to consumers and merchants, inability to attract future consumers and merchants, reputational damage, regulatory intervention, and financial harm, which could negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

The loss of the services of any of our executive officers could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

The experience of our executive officers are valuable assets to us. Our executive officers have significant experience in the financial technology industry and would be difficult to replace. Competition for senior executives in our industry is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel to replace or succeed any of our executive officers. Failure to retain any of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Our business depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees.

Our future success depends on our ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified personnel for all areas of our organization, in particular, a highly experienced sales force, data scientists, and engineers. Competition for these types of highly skilled employees, is extremely intense. Trained and experienced personnel are in high demand and may be in short supply. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced employees have greater resources than we do and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors that may seek to recruit them. We may not be able to attract, develop, and maintain the skilled workforce necessary to operate our business, and labor expenses may increase as a result of a shortage in the supply of qualified personnel. If we are unable to maintain and build our highly experienced sales force, or are unable to continue to attract experienced engineering and technology personnel, as well as other qualified employees, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Our results depend on more prominent presentation, integration, and support of our platform by our merchants.

We depend on our merchants, which generally accept most major credit cards and other forms of payment, to present our platform as a payment option and to integrate our platform into their website or in their store, such as by prominently featuring our platform on their websites or in their stores and not just as an option at website checkout. We do not have any recourse against merchants when they do not prominently present our platform as a payment option. The failure by our merchants to effectively present, integrate, and support our platform, or to effectively explain lease-to-own transactions to potential customers, would have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Real or perceived software errors, failures, bugs, defects, or outages could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Our platform and our internal systems rely on software that is highly technical and complex. In addition, our platform and our internal systems depend on the ability of such software to store, retrieve, process, and manage immense amounts of data. As a result, undetected errors, failures, bugs, or defects may be present in such software or occur in the future in such software, including open source software and other software we license in from third parties, especially when updates or new products or services are released.

Any real or perceived errors, failures, bugs, or defects in the software may not be found until our consumers use our platform and could result in outages or degraded quality of service on our platform that could adversely impact our business (including through causing us not to meet contractually required service levels), as well as negative publicity, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and services, and harm to our brand or weakening of our competitive position. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, to expend significant additional resources in order to correct the problem. Any real or perceived errors, failures, bugs, or defects in the software we rely on could also subject us to liability claims, impair our ability to attract new consumers, retain existing consumers, or expand their use of our products and services, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Any significant disruption in, or errors in, service on our platform or relating to vendors, including events beyond our control, could prevent us from processing transactions on our platform or posting payments and have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

We use vendors, such as our cloud computing web services provider, virtual card processing companies, and third-party software providers, in the operation of our platform. The satisfactory performance, reliability, and availability of our technology and our underlying network and infrastructure are critical to our operations and reputation and the ability of our platform to attract new and retain existing merchants and consumers. We rely on these vendors to protect their systems and facilities against damage or service interruptions from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, air quality issues, environmental conditions, computer viruses or attempts to harm these systems, criminal acts, and similar events. If our arrangement with a vendor is terminated or if there is a lapse of service or damage to its systems or facilities, we could experience interruptions in our ability to operate our platform. We also may experience increased costs and difficulties in replacing that vendor and replacement services may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. Any interruptions or delays in our platform availability, whether as a result of a failure to perform on the part of a vendor, any damage to one of our vendor’s systems or facilities, the termination of any of our third-party vendor agreements, software failures, our or our vendor’s error, natural disasters, terrorism, other man-made problems, security breaches, whether accidental or willful, or other factors, could harm our relationships with our merchants and consumers and also harm our reputation.

In addition, we source certain information from third parties. For example, our risk scoring model is based on algorithms that evaluate a number of factors and currently depend on sourcing certain information from third parties. In the event that any third-party from which we source information experiences a service disruption, whether as a result of maintenance, natural disasters, terrorism, or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, or other factors, the ability to score and decision lease-to-own applications through our platform may be adversely impacted. Additionally, there may be errors contained in the information provided by third parties. This may result in the inability to approve otherwise qualified applicants through our platform, which may adversely impact our business by negatively impacting our reputation and reducing our transaction volume.

To the extent we use or are dependent on any particular third-party data, technology, or software, we may also be harmed if such data, technology, or software becomes non-compliant with existing regulations or industry standards, becomes subject to third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violation, or malfunctions or functions in a way we did not anticipate. Any loss of the right to use any of this data, technology, or software could result in delays in the provisioning of our products and services until equivalent or replacement data, technology, or software is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained, and integrated, and there is no guarantee that we would be successful in developing, identifying, obtaining, or integrating equivalent or similar data, technology, or software, which could result in the loss or limiting of our products, services, or features available in our products or services.

In addition, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Our disaster recovery plan has not been tested under actual disaster conditions, and we may not have sufficient capacity to recover all data and services in the event of an outage. These factors could prevent us from processing transactions or posting payments on our platform, damage our brand and reputation, divert the attention of our employees, reduce our revenue, subject us to liability, and cause consumers or merchants to abandon our platform, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Our ability to protect our confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information, including the confidential information of consumers on our platform, may be adversely affected by cyber-attacks, employee or other internal misconduct, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar disruptions.

Our business involves the collection, storage, use, disclosure, processing, transfer, and other handling (collectively, “processing”) of a wide variety of information, including personally identifiable information, for various purposes in our business, including to help ensure the integrity of our services and to provide features and functionality to our consumers and merchants. The processing of the information we acquire in connection with our consumers’ and merchants’ use of our services is subject to numerous privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, and other laws and regulations in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. The automated nature of our business and our reliance on digital technologies may make us an attractive target for, and potentially vulnerable to, cyber-attacks, computer malware, computer viruses, social engineering (including phishing and ransomware attacks), general hacking, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar disruptions. While we and our vendors have taken steps to protect the confidential, proprietary, and sensitive information to which we have access and to prevent data loss, our security measures or those of our vendors could be breached, including as a result of employee theft, exfiltration, misuse or malfeasance, our actions, omissions, or errors, third-party actions, omissions, or errors, unintentional events, or deliberate attacks by cyber criminals, any of which may result in the loss of, or unauthorized access to, our or our consumers’ data, our intellectual property, or other confidential, proprietary, or sensitive business information. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to our platform or servicing systems could cause confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information to be stolen and used for criminal or other unauthorized purposes. Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential information could also expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation, and negative publicity. If security measures are breached because of employee theft, exfiltration, misuse or malfeasance, our actions, omissions, or errors, third-party actions, omissions, or errors, unintentional events, deliberate attacks by cyber criminals or otherwise, or if design flaws in our software or systems are exposed and exploited, our relationships with consumers or merchants could be damaged, and we could incur significant liability. Although we monitor our systems in order to detect security breaches or instances of unauthorized access to confidential information, there is no guarantee that our monitoring efforts will be effective.

The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper, or illegal access to our systems, our or our consumers’ data, or to disable or degrade service or sabotage systems, are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized until after they have been launched against a target. We may be unable to anticipate these techniques, react in a timely manner, or implement adequate preventative or remedial measures. Unauthorized parties have in the past attempted and may in the future attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities through various means, including, among others, hacking into our or our partners’ or consumers’ systems or facilities, or attempting to fraudulently induce our employees, partners, consumers or others into disclosing usernames, passwords, or other sensitive information, which may in turn be used to access our information technology systems and gain access to our or our consumers’ data or other confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information. For instance, in September 2020, we received alerts from our internal systems that there was suspicious activity involving keys used to access certain parts of the Company’s sites. After an investigation conducted by third party firms in conjunction with our internal team, we determined the compromised data was limited to non-sensitive information. Despite our monitoring efforts, there can be no assurances that future incidents would not result in a third party accessing sensitive information. Such efforts may be state-sponsored and supported by significant financial and technological resources, making them even more difficult to detect and prevent.

In addition, in certain circumstances we utilize vendors, including cloud service providers, to facilitate the servicing of consumer accounts. Under these arrangements, these vendors require access to certain consumer data for the purpose of servicing the accounts. Because we do not control our vendors, or the processing of data by our vendors, other than through our contractual relationships, our ability to monitor our vendors’ data security may be very limited such that we cannot ensure the integrity or security of measures they take to protect and prevent the loss of our or our consumers’ data. As a result, we are subject to the risk that cyber-attacks on, or other security incidents affecting, our vendors may adversely affect our business even if an attack or breach does not directly impact our systems. It is also possible that security breaches sustained by, or other security incidents affecting, our competitors could result in negative publicity for our entire industry that indirectly harms our reputation and diminishes demand for our products and services.

Any actual or perceived failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements applicable to us, including those relating to information security, or any failure to protect the information that we collect from our consumers and merchants, including personally identifiable information, from cyber-attacks, or any such actual or perceived failure by our originating bank partners, may result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or registrations, loss of approved status, private litigation, regulatory or governmental investigations, administrative enforcement actions, sanctions, civil and criminal liability, and constraints on our ability to continue to operate. Our originating bank partners also operate in a highly regulated environment, and many laws and regulations that apply directly to our originating bank partners are indirectly applicable to us through our arrangements with our originating bank partners.

Furthermore, federal and state regulators and many federal and state laws and regulations require notice of any data security breaches that involve personal information. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause consumers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Any security breach suffered by us or our vendors, any attack against our service availability, any unauthorized, accidental, or unlawful access or loss of data, or the perception that any such event has occurred, could result in a disruption to our service, litigation, an obligation to notify regulators and affected individuals, the triggering of indemnification and other contractual obligations, regulatory investigations, government fines and penalties, reputational damage, and loss of consumers and ecosystem partners, and our business and operations could be adversely affected. In addition, we may incur significant costs and operational consequences in connection with investigating, mitigating, remediating, eliminating, and putting in place additional tools and devices designed to prevent future actual or perceived security incidents, as well as in connection with complying with any notification or other obligations resulting from any security incidents. Our insurance policies carry retention and coverage limits, which may not be adequate to reimburse us for losses caused by security breaches, and we may not be able to collect fully, if at all, under these insurance policies. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that insurance coverage will continue to be available on acceptable terms or at all, or that the insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our working environment and diverted personnel resources and any prolonged effects of the pandemic may adversely impact our operations and employees.

We have had to expend, and expect to continue to expend, personnel resources to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, including to develop and implement internal policies and procedures and track changes in laws. Any prolonged diversion of personnel resources may have an adverse effect on our operations. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, we transitioned our entire staff to a remote working environment. Over time such remote operations may decrease the cohesiveness of our teams and our ability to maintain our culture, both of which are critical to our success. Additionally, a remote working environment may impede our ability to undertake new business projects, to foster a creative environment, to hire new team members, and to retain existing team members. Such effects may adversely affect the productivity of our team members and overall operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

While we take precautions to prevent consumer identity fraud, it is possible that identity fraud may still occur or has occurred, which may adversely affect the performance of the lease-to-own transactions facilitated through our platform.

There is risk of fraudulent activity associated with our platform, consumers, and third parties handling consumer information. Our resources, technologies, and fraud prevention tools may be insufficient to accurately detect and prevent fraud. We bear the risk of loss for lease-to-own transactions facilitated through our platform. The level of fraud related charge-offs on the lease-to-own transactions facilitated through our platform could be adversely affected if fraudulent activity were to significantly increase.

We bear the risk of consumer fraud in a transaction involving us, a consumer, and a merchant, and we generally have no recourse to the merchant to collect the amount owed by the consumer. Significant amounts of fraudulent cancellations or chargebacks and the potential cost of remediation could adversely affect our business or financial condition. High profile fraudulent activity or significant increases in fraudulent activity could also lead to regulatory intervention, negative publicity, and the erosion of trust from our consumers and merchants, and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, and cash flows.

Strategic Risks

Our success depends on the effective implementation and continued execution of our strategies.

We are focused on our mission to provide innovative lease financing solutions to non-prime consumers and to enable everyday transactions at the merchant point of sale.

Growth of our business, including through the launch of new product offerings, requires us to invest in or expand our information and technology capabilities, engage and retain experienced management, and otherwise incur additional costs. Our inability to address these concerns or otherwise to achieve targeted results associated with our initiatives could adversely affect our results of operations, or negatively impact our ability to successfully execute future strategies, which may result in an adverse impact on our business and financial results.

The success of our business is dependent on factors affecting consumer spending that are not under our control.

Consumer spending is affected by general economic conditions and other factors including levels of employment, disposable consumer income, prevailing interest rates, consumer debt and availability of credit, costs of fuel, inflation, recession and fears of recession, war and fears of war, pandemics (such as COVID-19), inclement weather, tariff policies, tax rates and rate increases, timing of receipt of tax refunds, consumer confidence in future economic conditions and political conditions, and consumer perceptions of personal well-being and security. Unfavorable changes in factors affecting discretionary spending for nonprime consumers could reduce demand for our products and services resulting in lower revenue and negatively impacting the business and its financial results.

The success and growth of our business depends upon our ability to continuously innovate and develop new products and technologies.

Our solution is a technology-driven platform that relies on innovation to remain competitive. The process of developing new technologies and products is complex, and we build our own technology, using the latest in artificial intelligence and machine learning (“AI/ML”), cloud-based technologies, and other tools to differentiate our products and technologies. In addition, our dedication to incorporating technological advancements into our platform requires significant financial and personnel resources and talent. Our development efforts with respect to these initiatives could distract management from current operations and could divert capital and other resources from other growth initiatives important to our business. We operate in an industry experiencing rapid technological change and frequent product introductions. We may not be able to make technological improvements as quickly as demanded by our consumers and merchants, which could harm our ability to attract consumers and merchants. In addition, we may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services as quickly as competitors or be successful in marketing these products and services to consumers and merchants. If we are unable to successfully and timely innovate and continue to deliver a superior merchant and consumer experience, the demand for our products and technologies may decrease and our growth, business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Table of Contents

Further, we use AI/ML in many aspects of our business, including fraud, credit risk analysis, and product personalization. The AI/ML models that we use are trained using various data sets. If the AI/ML models are incorrectly designed, the data we use to train them is incomplete, inadequate, or biased in some way, or we do not have sufficient rights to use the data on which our AI/ML models rely, the performance of our products, services, and business, as well as our reputation, could suffer or we could incur liability through the violation of laws, third-party privacy, or other rights, or contracts to which we are a party.

Our failure to accurately predict the demand or growth of our new products and technologies also could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects. New products and technologies are inherently risky, due to, among other things, risks associated with: the product or technology not working, or not working as expected; consumer and merchant acceptance; technological outages or failures; and the failure to meet consumer and merchant expectations. As a result of these risks, we could experience increased claims, reputational damage, or other adverse effects, which could be material. The profile of potential consumers using our new products and technologies also may not be as attractive as the profile of the consumers that we currently serve, which may lead to higher levels of delinquencies or defaults than we have historically experienced. Additionally, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to develop, commercially market, and achieve acceptance of our new products and technologies. In addition, our investment of resources to develop new products and technologies and make changes or updates to our platform may either be insufficient or result in expenses that exceed the revenue actually generated from these new products. Failure to accurately predict demand or growth with respect to our new products and technologies could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

To the extent that we seek to grow through future acquisitions, or other strategic investments or alliances, we may not be able to do so effectively.

We may in the future seek to grow our business by exploring potential acquisitions or other strategic investments or alliances. We may not be successful in identifying businesses or opportunities that meet our acquisition or expansion criteria. In addition, even if a potential acquisition target or other strategic investment is identified, we may not be successful in completing such acquisition or integrating such new business or other investment. We may face significant competition for acquisition and other strategic investment opportunities from other well-capitalized companies, many of which have greater financial resources and greater access to debt and equity capital to secure and complete acquisitions or other strategic investments, than we do. As a result of such competition, we may be unable to acquire certain assets or businesses, or take advantage of other strategic investment opportunities that we deem attractive; the purchase price for a given strategic opportunity may be significantly elevated; or certain other terms or circumstances may be substantially more onerous.

Any delay or failure on our part to identify, negotiate, finance on favorable terms, consummate, and integrate any such acquisition or other strategic investment opportunity could impede our growth. Additional risks relating to potential acquisitions include difficulties in integrating the operations, systems, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired businesses, diversion of management’s attention from normal daily operations of the business and the challenges of managing larger and more widespread operations, the potential loss of key employees, vendors and other business partners of the businesses we acquire; and increased amounts of debt incurred in connection with such activities or dilutive issuances of New Katapult common stock.

There is no assurance that we will be able to manage our expanding operations effectively or that we will be able to continue to grow, and any failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue and control our expenses. Furthermore, we may be responsible for any legacy liabilities of businesses we acquire or be subject to additional liability in connection with other strategic investments. The existence or amount of these liabilities may not be known at the time of acquisition, or other strategic investment, and may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Financial Risks

We have a history of operating losses and may not sustain profitability in the future.

We incurred net losses of approximately $18.8 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and approximately $23.5 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. We incurred net losses of approximately $16.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and net income of approximately $18.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, our accumulated deficit was approximately $62.0 million. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase in the foreseeable future as we seek to continue to grow our business, attract consumers, merchants, and funding sources, and further enhance and develop our products and platform. As we expand our offerings to additional markets, our offerings in these markets may be less profitable than the markets in which we currently operate. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these higher expenses. We may incur net losses in the future and may not maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.

Our market opportunity estimates and expectations about market growth are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. Even if the markets in which we compete meet our size estimates and growth expectations, our business could fail to grow for a variety of reasons, which could adversely affect our results of operations. For more information regarding the estimates of market opportunity and the expectations about market growth included in this prospectus, see “Information About Katapult — Industry Background.”

Our revenue and operating results may fluctuate, which could result in a decline in the Company’s profitability and make it more difficult for us to grow our business.

Our revenue and operating results may vary from quarter to quarter and by season. Periods of decline could result in an overall decline in profitability and make it more difficult for us to make payments on our indebtedness and grow our business. We expect our quarterly results to fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors, including general economic conditions in the markets where we operate, the cyclical nature of consumer spending, and seasonal sales and spending patterns of customers.

We rely on card issuers or payment processors. If we fail to comply with the applicable requirements of Visa or other payment processors, those payment processors could seek to fine us, suspend us or terminate our registrations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

We rely on card issuers or payment processors, and must pay a fee for this service. From time to time, payment processors such as Visa may increase the interchange fees that they charge for each transaction using one of their cards. The payment processors routinely update and modify their requirements. Changes in the requirements, including changes to risk management and collateral requirements, may impact our ongoing cost of doing business and we may not, in every circumstance, be able to pass through such costs to our merchants or associated participants. Furthermore, if we do not comply with the payment processors’ requirements (e.g., their rules, bylaws, and charter documentation), the payment processors could seek to fine us, suspend us or terminate our registrations that allow us to process transactions on their networks. The termination of our registration due to failure to comply with the applicable requirements of Visa or other payment processors, or any changes in the payment processors’ rules that would impair our registration, could require us to stop utilizing payment services from Visa or other payment processors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

A large percentage of our customer acquisition is concentrated with a single merchant partner, and the loss of this merchant partner or any other significant merchant relationships would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Our top merchant partner, Wayfair, represented approximately 58% of our origination dollars for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and 73% of our origination dollars for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our top ten merchants in the aggregate represented approximately 87% of our total customer acquisition for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and approximately 90% of our total customer acquisition for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The concentration of a significant portion of our business and transaction volume with a limited number of merchants, or type of merchant or industry, exposes us disproportionately to any of those merchants choosing to no longer partner with us or choosing to partner with a competitor, to the economic performance of those merchants or industry or to any events, circumstances, or risks affecting such merchants or industry. The loss of Wayfair as a merchant partner, or the loss of any other significant merchant relationships, would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects. In addition, an anticipated material modification in the merchant agreement with a significant merchant partner could affect the results of our operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

A change in control could accelerate our obligation to pay our outstanding indebtedness, and we may not have sufficient liquid assets at that time to repay these amounts.

Under our existing credit facility, all of the outstanding loans are required to be prepaid in full (together with accrued and unpaid interest and prepayment premium) and the revolving loan commitment will terminate if a third party not approved by the agent became the beneficial owner of 35.0% or more of the voting stock of Katapult Holdings, Inc. or certain changes in the composition of the board of Katapult Holdings, Inc. occurs during a twenty-four month period which were not recommended or approved by at least a majority of directors who were directors at the beginning of such twenty-four month period. As of September 30, 2020, we had a $74.4 million outstanding balance under our credit facility.

Although the merger will not result in a specified change of control under our existing credit facility, if another specified change in control occurs and the lenders accelerate these obligations, we may not have sufficient liquid assets to repay amounts outstanding under these agreements.

Our credit facility includes restrictive covenants, which could limit our flexibility and our ability to make distributions.

Our credit facility includes customary negative covenants. Early repayments of certain amounts under our credit facility are subject to prepayment penalties, which would limit our ability to pay or refinance our credit facility. Failure to comply with these covenants could cause a default under the agreements and result in a requirement to repay the indebtedness prior to its maturity, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders. These or other limitations could decrease our operating flexibility and our ability to achieve our operating objectives.

The phase-out, replacement or unavailability of LIBOR and/or other interest rate benchmarks could adversely affect our indebtedness.

The interest rates applicable to our existing credit facility are based on, and the interest rates applicable to certain debt obligations we may incur in the future may be based on, a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). In July 2017, the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. In response to concerns regarding the future of LIBOR, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York convened the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the “ARRC”) to identify alternatives to LIBOR. The ARRC has recommended a benchmark replacement waterfall to assist issuers in continued capital market entry while safeguarding against LIBOR’s discontinuation. The initial steps in the ARRC’s recommended provision reference variations of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), calculated using short-term repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities. At this time, it is not

31

Table of Contents

possible to predict whether SOFR will attain market traction as a LIBOR replacement. Additionally, it is uncertain if LIBOR will cease to exist after calendar year 2021, or whether additional reforms to LIBOR may be enacted, or whether alternative reference rates will gain market acceptance as a replacement for LIBOR.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to reach any agreement on a replacement benchmark, and there can be no assurance that any agreement we reach will result in effective interest rates at least as favorable to us as our current effective interest rates. The failure to reach an agreement on a replacement benchmark, or the failure to reach an agreement that results in an effective interest rate at least as favorable to us as our current effective interest rates, could result in a significant increase in our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the overall financing market may be disrupted as a result of the phase-out or replacement of LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to refinance, reprice or amend our credit facility or incur additional indebtedness, on favorable terms or at all

We have experienced rapid growth, which may be difficult to sustain and which may place significant demands on our operational, administrative, and financial resources. Raising additional funds to sustain our growth by issuing securities may cause dilution to existing stockholders and raising funds through lending arrangements may restrict our operations.

Since inception we have experienced significant transaction volume and revenue growth. Our revenue has more than doubled year-over-year since 2018. We have a relatively limited operating history at our current scale, and our growth in recent periods exposes us to increased risks, uncertainties, expenses, and difficulties. If we are unable to maintain at least our current level of operations using cash flow, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

If in the future we need to raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends.

Any debt financing we enter into may involve covenants that restrict our operations. These restrictive covenants may include limitations on additional borrowing and specific restrictions on the use of our assets as well as prohibitions on our ability to create liens, pay dividends, redeem our stock, or make investments. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, it could affect the results of our operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Our management has limited experience in operating a public company.

Our executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Our management team may not successfully or effectively manage our transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of our management’s time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of New Katapult. We may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal control over financial reporting required of public companies in the U.S. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for us to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the U.S. may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company which will increase our operating costs in future periods.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

If we complete the merger and become a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, and these expenses may increase even more after we are no longer an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

32

Table of Contents

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and Nasdaq. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, we expect these rules and regulations to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. The increased costs will increase our net loss. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits or incur substantially higher costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs we may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change”, generally defined as a greater than 50.0% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes, such as research tax credits, to offset its post-change income may be limited. The completion of the merger may trigger an “ownership change” limitation. We have not completed a formal study to determine if any “ownership changes” within the meaning of IRC Section 382 have occurred. If “ownership changes” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code have occurred, and if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits generated since inception to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us and could require us to pay U.S. federal income taxes earlier than would be required if such limitations were not in effect. Similar rules and limitations may apply for state income tax purposes.

Legal and Compliance Risks

Our transactions are regulated by and subject to the requirements of various federal and state laws and regulations, which may require significant compliance costs and expose us to litigation. Any negative change in these laws or regulations or the passage of unfavorable new laws or regulations or the manner in which any of these are enforced could require us to alter our business practices in a manner that may be materially adverse to us.

Our transactions are regulated by and subject to the requirements of various federal and state laws and regulations, which may require significant compliance costs and expose us to litigation. Any negative change in these laws or regulations or the passage of unfavorable new laws or regulations or the manner in which any of these are enforced could require us to alter our business practices in a manner that may be materially adverse to us.

Currently, forty-seven states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam have passed laws that regulate rental purchase transactions as separate and distinct from credit sales. The specific rental purchase laws generally require certain contractual and advertising disclosures. They also provide varying levels of substantive consumer protection, such as requiring a grace period for late fees and contract reinstatement rights in the event the rental purchase agreement is terminated. The rental purchase laws of eleven states limit the total amount that may be charged over the life of a rental purchase agreement and the laws of six states limit the cash prices for which we may offer merchandise.

Similar to other companies with consumer-facing operations, our rental purchase transactions and related operations, for example collection, communication and payment processing, are governed by various other federal, state and/or municipal consumer protection laws. These laws, as well as the rental purchase statutes under which we operate, provide various consumer remedies, including monetary penalties, for violations.

The laws and regulations applicable to our operations are subject to administrative or judicial interpretation. Some of these laws and regulations have been enacted only recently and/or may not yet have been interpreted or may be interpreted infrequently. As a result of infrequent or sparse interpretations, ambiguities in these laws and regulations may create uncertainty with respect to what type of conduct is permitted or restricted under such

33

Table of Contents

laws and regulations. Any ambiguity under a law or regulation to which we are subject may lead to regulatory investigations, governmental enforcement actions and private causes of action, such as class action lawsuits, with respect to our compliance with such laws or regulations.

Although there is currently no single comprehensive federal and/or state legislation regulating rental purchase transactions, new adverse legislation, federal and/or state, may be enacted in the future. For example, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau may seek to more aggressively regulate areas involving Katapult’s business and operations, and enforce related laws. From time to time, both favorable and adverse federal legislation seeking to regulate our business has been introduced in Congress. In addition, various legislatures in the states where our rental purchase transactions are offered and where we otherwise conduct operations may adopt new legislation or amend existing laws that could require us to alter our business practices. Proposals to change the laws affecting our transactions may be introduced in Congress and state legislatures that, if enacted, may affect our operating environment in substantial and unpredictable ways. We cannot determine with any degree of certainty whether any such legislative or regulatory proposals will be enacted and, if enacted, the ultimate impact that any such potential legislation or implementing regulations, or any such potential regulatory actions by federal or state regulators, would have upon our business.

New laws, regulations, policy or changes in enforcement of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business, or reexamination of current practices, could adversely impact our profitability, limit our ability to continue existing or pursue new business activities, require a change of business practices or alter relationships with contractors or capital providers, affect retention of key personnel, including management, or expose us to additional costs (including increased compliance costs and/or capital provider, contractor or consumer remediation). These changes also may require us to invest significant resources, and devote significant management attention, to make any necessary changes and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements of our financial statements. If we fail to remediate any material weaknesses or if we otherwise fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be adversely affected.

We are not currently required to comply with the rules of the SEC implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 the (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of control over financial reporting. In addition to disclosing changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, we will be required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 for the year ending December 31, 2021. As an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of the year following our first annual report that was filed with the SEC or the date we are no longer an emerging growth company. If our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue an adverse report.

In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, our independent registered public accounting firm identified certain control deficiencies in the design and implementation of our internal control over financial reporting that in aggregate constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our evaluation was based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).

34

Table of Contents

The material weaknesses relate to (i) an insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of GAAP knowledge and experience to create the proper control environment for effective internal control over financial reporting and to ensure that oversight processes and procedures in applying nuanced guidance to complex accounting transactions for financial reporting are adequate, (ii) a lack of control in place to perform a review of the depreciation, cost of property sold, and impairment expense curves, specifically associated with evaluating the accuracy and completeness of the underlying data supporting the curves, or reconcile the expense amounts per the curves to the general ledger, and (iii) a lack of controls in place to review journal entries, reconcile journal entries to underlying support and evaluate if journal entries are in compliance with GAAP before the entries are manually posted.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus these material weaknesses remain. As part of our plan to remediate these material weaknesses, we are performing a full review of our internal control procedures. We have implemented, and plan to continue to implement, new controls and new processes. We cannot assure you that the measures that we have taken, and that will be taken, to remediate these material weaknesses will, in fact, remedy the material weaknesses or will be sufficient to prevent future material weaknesses from occurring. We also cannot assure you that we have identified all of our existing material weaknesses.

In light of the control deficiencies and the resulting material weaknesses that were identified, we believe that it is possible that, had we and our independent registered public accounting firm performed an assessment or audit, respectively, of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, additional material weaknesses may have been identified.

When evaluating our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify material weaknesses that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the applicable deadline imposed upon us for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. If we are unable to remediate our existing material weakness or identify additional material weaknesses and are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting once we are no longer an emerging growth company, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of New Katapult common stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

If we discover a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that we are unable to remedy or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis and the market price of New Katapult common stock may be adversely affected.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, subsequent testing by us or our independent registered public accounting firm, which has not performed an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, may reveal additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. To comply with Section 404, we expect to incur substantial cost, expend significant management time on compliance-related issues and hire additional accounting, financial, and internal audit staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results, and cause a decline in the price of New Katapult common stock.

Changes to tax laws or exposure to additional tax liabilities may have a negative impact on our operating results.

Continued developments in U.S. tax reform and changes to tax laws and rates in other jurisdictions where we do business could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows. It is also possible that provisions of U.S. tax reform could be subsequently amended in a way that is adverse to the Company.

In addition, we may undergo tax audits in various jurisdictions in which we operate. Although we believe that our income tax provisions and accruals are reasonable and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and that we prepare our tax filings in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final determination with respect to any tax audits and any related litigation, could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of a tax audit or litigation could materially affect our operating results and cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period net income may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties and interest assessments.

We may be subject to legal proceedings from time to time which seek material damages. The costs we incur in defending ourselves or associated with settling any of these proceedings, as well as a material final judgment or decree against us, could materially adversely affect our financial condition by requiring the payment of the settlement amount, a judgment or the posting of a bond.

Others in our industry have defended class action lawsuits alleging various regulatory violations and have paid material amounts to settle such claims. If we are named in any such class action lawsuits or other legal proceedings, significant settlement amounts or final judgments could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources.

To attempt to limit costly and lengthy consumer, employee and other litigation, including class actions, we require our customers and employees to sign arbitration agreements, including class action waivers. In addition to opt-out provisions contained in such agreements, recent judicial and regulatory actions have attempted to restrict or eliminate the enforceability of such agreements and waivers. If we are not permitted to use arbitration agreements and/or class action waivers, or if the enforceability of such agreements and waivers is restricted or eliminated, we could incur increased costs to resolve legal actions brought by customers, employees and others, as we would be forced to participate in more expensive and lengthy dispute resolution processes.

Risks Relating to the Merger

FinServ stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the merger and will exercise less influence over management.

Upon the issuance of the New Katapult common stock to Katapult stockholders, current FinServ stockholders’ percentage ownership will be diluted. Subject to the assumptions set forth under “Basis of Presentation and Glossary” and assuming no public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, current FinServ stockholders’ percentage ownership in New Katapult following the issuance of shares to Katapult stockholders would be %. Under the same assumptions and assuming that shares of Class A Common Stock (the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that could be redeemed in connection with the merger) are redeemed in connection with the merger and excluding any shares issuable pursuant to FinServ’s outstanding warrants, current FinServ stockholders’ percentage ownership in New Katapult following the issuance of shares of New Katapult common stock to Katapult stockholders would be %. Additionally, of the expected members of the New Katapult board of directors after the completion of the merger, only one is expected to be a current director of FinServ or appointed solely by current stockholders of FinServ and the rest will be current directors of Katapult or appointed by current stockholders of Katapult. The percentage of New Katapult’s common stock that will be owned by current FinServ stockholders as a group will vary based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which the holders thereof request redemption in connection with the merger. To illustrate the potential ownership percentages of current FinServ stockholders under different redemption levels, based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of FinServ common stock, Katapult common stock and Katapult preferred stock on , 2021, current FinServ stockholders, as a group, will own (1) if there are no redemptions, % of New Katapult common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the merger or (2) if there are redemptions of of the outstanding shares of FinServ common stock (which is the maximum

36

Table of Contents

amount of redemptions that, after giving effect to the PIPE Investment, would result in the satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition), % of New Katapult common stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the merger. Because of this, current FinServ stockholders, as a group, will have less influence on the board of directors, management and policies of New Katapult than they now have on the board of directors, management and policies of FinServ.

The market price of shares of New Katapult common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the prices of shares of Class A Common Stock.

Upon completion of the merger, holders of shares of Katapult common stock and preferred stock will become holders of shares of New Katapult common stock. Prior to the merger, FinServ has had limited operations. Upon completion of the merger, New Katapult’s results of operations will depend upon the performance of Katapult’s businesses, which are affected by factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of FinServ.

FinServ has not obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, and consequently, there is no assurance from an independent source that the merger consideration is fair to its stockholders from a financial point of view.

FinServ is not required to, and has not, obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the merger consideration it is paying for Katapult is fair to FinServ’s stockholders from a financial point of view. The fair market value of Katapult has been determined by FinServ’s board of directors based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as potential sales and the price for which comparable businesses or assets have been valued. FinServ’s stockholders will be relying on the judgment of its board of directors with respect to such matters.

If the merger’s benefits do not meet the expectations of financial analysts, the market price of New Katapult common stock may decline.

The market price of the New Katapult common stock may decline as a result of the merger if New Katapult does not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as rapidly, or to the extent anticipated by, financial analysts or the effect of the merger on New Katapult’s financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial analysts. Accordingly, holders of New Katapult common stock may experience a loss as a result of a decline in the market price of New Katapult common stock. In addition, a decline in the market price of New Katapult common stock could adversely affect New Katapult’s ability to issue additional securities and to obtain additional financing in the future.

The consummation of the merger is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the merger may not be completed.

The merger agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the merger. Those conditions include: approval of the proposals required to effect the merger by FinServ stockholders, as well as receipt of requisite regulatory approval, absence of orders prohibiting completion of the merger, effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, approval of the shares of New Katapult common stock to be issued to Katapult stockholders for listing on the Nasdaq, meeting the Minimum Cash Condition, the occurrence of the Katapult Preferred Conversion, the delivery of the Written Consent by Katapult to FinServ, the accuracy of the representations and warranties by both parties (subject to the materiality standards set forth in the merger agreement) and the performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements. These conditions to the closing of the merger may not be fulfilled in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the merger may not be completed. In addition, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the merger agreement at any time, before or after stockholder approval, or FinServ or Katapult may elect to terminate the merger agreement in certain other circumstances. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination” beginning on page 153.

Table of Contents

Termination of the merger agreement could negatively impact Katapult and FinServ.

If the merger is not completed for any reason, including as a result of Katapult stockholders declining to adopt the merger agreement or FinServ stockholders declining to approve the proposals required to effect the merger, the ongoing businesses of Katapult and FinServ may be adversely impacted and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the merger, Katapult and FinServ would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

• Katapult or FinServ may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on FinServ’s stock price (including to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed);

• Katapult may experience negative reactions from its customers, vendors and employees;

• Katapult and FinServ will have incurred substantial expenses and will be required to pay certain costs relating to the merger, whether or not the merger is completed; and

• Since the merger agreement restricts the conduct of Katapult’s and FinServ’s businesses prior to completion of the merger, each of Katapult and FinServ may not have been able to take certain actions during the pendency of the merger that would have benefitted it as an independent company, and the opportunity to take such actions may no longer be available (see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement — Covenants and Agreements” beginning on page 142 of this proxy statement/prospectus for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to Katapult and FinServ).

If the merger agreement is terminated and Katapult’s board of directors seeks another merger or business combination, Katapult stockholders cannot be certain that Katapult will be able to find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration FinServ has agreed to provide in the merger or that such other merger or business combination is completed. If the merger agreement is terminated and FinServ’s board of directors seeks another merger or business combination, FinServ stockholders cannot be certain that FinServ will be able to find another acquisition target that would constitute a business combination or that such other merger or business combination will be completed. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination” on page 153.

Katapult will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees, merchants and customers may have an adverse effect on Katapult and consequently on FinServ. These uncertainties may impair Katapult’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with Katapult to seek to change existing business relationships with Katapult. Retention of certain employees may be challenging during the pendency of the merger, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the business, New Katapult’s business following the merger could be negatively impacted. In addition, the merger agreement restricts Katapult from making certain expenditures and taking other specified actions without the consent of FinServ until the merger occurs. These restrictions may prevent Katapult from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger. See “The Merger Agreement — Covenants and Agreements” beginning on page 142.

FinServ directors and officers may have interests in the merger different from the interests of FinServ Stockholders.

Executive officers of FinServ negotiated the terms of the merger agreement with their counterparts at Katapult, and the FinServ board of directors determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable and in the best interests of FinServ and its stockholders and to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that FinServ’s executive officers and directors may have financial interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of FinServ stockholders. The FinServ board of directors was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination that the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement were advisable and in

38

Table of Contents

the best interests of FinServ and its stockholders. For a detailed discussion of the special interests that FinServ’s directors and executive officers may have in the merger, see the section entitled “The Merger — Interests of FinServ’s Directors and Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 135.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary and the actual financial condition and results of operations after the merger may differ materially.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what New Katapult’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the merger been completed on the date(s) indicated. The preparation of the pro forma financial information is based upon available information and certain assumptions and estimates that FinServ and Katapult currently believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, among other things, to allocate the purchase price to Katapult’s net assets. The purchase price allocation reflected in this proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary, and the final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon the actual purchase price and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Katapult as of the date of the completion of the merger. In addition, following the completion of the merger, there may be further refinements of the purchase price allocation as additional information becomes available. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments may differ materially from the pro forma adjustments reflected in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” beginning on page 15.

FinServ and Katapult will incur transaction costs in connection with the merger.

Each of FinServ and Katapult has incurred and expects that it will incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the merger. FinServ and Katapult may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. FinServ and Katapult will also incur significant legal, financial advisor, accounting, banking and consulting fees, fees relating to regulatory filings and notices, SEC filing fees, printing and mailing fees and other costs associated with the merger. FinServ estimates that it will incur approximately $9.35 million in deferred underwriting fees and $6.0 million in fees related to the PIPE Investment and $9.65 million in transaction costs. Katapult estimates that it will incur approximately $20.0 million in transaction costs associated with the merger. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the merger is completed. See “The Merger — Terms of the Merger” beginning on page 124.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the proposals at the Special Meeting, regardless of how public stockholders vote.

As of the date hereof, the Founder Shares and Private Placement Units owned by FinServ’s Sponsors represent approximately 21.7% of the voting power of the outstanding FinServ common stock. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement entered into at the closing of FinServ’s IPO and the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares and any shares of Class A Common Stock held by it (including underlying the Private Placement Units) in favor of each of the proposals at the Special Meeting, regardless of how public stockholders vote. Accordingly, the agreement by the Sponsor to vote in favor of each of the proposals at the Special Meeting will increase the likelihood that FinServ will receive the requisite stockholder approval for the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Because of FinServ’s limited resources and the significant competition for business combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for it to complete the initial business combination. If FinServ is unable to complete the initial business combination, its public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.05 per share on its redemption of its shares of Class A Common Stock, or less than such amount in certain circumstances based on the balance of its Trust Account (as of December 18, 2020), and its warrants will expire worthless.

FinServ encounters competition from other entities having a business objective similar to its own, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities competing for the types of businesses it intends to acquire. Many of these individuals and entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess similar technical, human and other resources to those of FinServ, and its financial resources will be relatively limited when

contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While FinServ believes there are numerous target businesses it could potentially acquire with the net proceeds of its IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, FinServ’s ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable will be limited by its available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, because FinServ is obligated to pay cash for the shares of Class A Common Stock its public stockholders redeem in connection with the initial business combination, target companies will be aware that this may reduce the resources available to FinServ for the initial business combination. This may place FinServ at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination. If it is unable to complete an initial business combination, FinServ’s public stockholders may only receive $10.05 per share on the liquidation of its Trust Account, based on the balance of the Trust Account (as of December 18, 2020), and its warrants will expire worthless.

FinServ may not be able to consummate the merger or an initial business combination within the required time period, in which case it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and it would redeem the Class A Common Stock and liquidate, in which case the holders of Class A Common Stock may only receive $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and the warrants will expire worthless.

The Existing Charter provides that FinServ must complete an initial business combination by November 5, 2021. If FinServ is unable to complete an initial business combination before November 5, 2021, FinServ will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A Common Stock, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to FinServ to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and FinServ’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to FinServ’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to its warrants, which will expire worthless if FinServ fails to complete an initial business combination within the 24 month time period. In certain circumstances, the holders of Class A Common Stock may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares.

FinServ’s Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or warrants from holders of Class A Common Stock, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination Proposal and reduce the public float of the Class A Common Stock.

FinServ’s Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase Class A Common Stock or warrants or a combination thereof in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the consummation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, although they are under no obligation to do so. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Class A Common Stock or warrants in such transactions.

Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of Class A Common Stock is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that FinServ’s Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from holders of Class A Common Stock who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of any such purchases of warrants could be to reduce the number of warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for approval in connection with the merger or the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Any such purchases of FinServ securities may result in the consummation of the merger, which may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

40

Table of Contents

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public float of Class A Common Stock or warrants and the number of beneficial holders of FinServ securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain the quotation, listing or trading of FinServ securities on a national securities exchange.

Neither FinServ nor its stockholders will have the protection of any indemnification, escrow, price adjustment or other provisions that allow for a post-closing adjustment to be made to the total merger consideration in the event that any of the representations and warranties made by Katapult in the merger agreement ultimately proves to be materially inaccurate or incorrect.

The representations and warranties made by Katapult and FinServ to each other in the merger agreement will not survive the consummation of the merger. As a result, FinServ and its stockholders will not have the protection of any indemnification, escrow, price adjustment or other provisions that allow for a post-closing adjustment to be made to the total merger consideration if any representation or warranty made by Katapult in the merger agreement proves to be materially inaccurate or incorrect. Accordingly, to the extent such representations or warranties are incorrect, FinServ would have no indemnification claim with respect thereto and its financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.

Either FinServ or Katapult may waive one or more of the conditions to the merger or certain of the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Either FinServ or Katapult may agree to waive, in whole or in part, some of the conditions to our obligations to consummate the merger or certain of the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, to the extent permitted by the Existing Charter and applicable laws. For example, it is a condition to our obligations to consummate the merger that certain of Katapult’s representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects as of the closing date, except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct, taken as a whole, does not result in a material adverse effect. However, if FinServ’s board of directors determines that it is in the best interest of the FinServ stockholders to waive any such breach, then the board may elect to waive that condition and consummate the merger. No party is able to waive the condition that FinServ stockholders approve the Business Combination Proposal.

FinServ does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for FinServ to consummate an initial business combination with which a substantial majority of FinServ’s stockholders do not agree.

The Existing Charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that in no event will FinServ redeem the Class A Common Stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of an initial business combination and after payment of underwriters’ fees and commissions (such that FinServ is not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). As a result, FinServ may be able to consummate the merger even if a substantial majority of its stockholders do not agree with the merger and have redeemed their shares. In the event the aggregate cash consideration FinServ would be required to pay for all shares of Class A Common Stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to FinServ, FinServ will not complete the merger or redeem any shares, all shares of Class A Common Stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and FinServ instead may search for an alternate business combination.

If third parties bring claims against FinServ, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

FinServ’s placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against FinServ. Although FinServ has sought to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which it does business (except its independent registered accounting firm) execute agreements with FinServ waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the holders of Class A Common Stock, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against

41

Table of Contents

FinServ’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, FinServ’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to FinServ than any alternative. FinServ is not aware of any product or service providers who have not or will not provide such waiver other than the underwriters of its IPO and FinServ’s independent registered public accounting firm.

FinServ’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the holders of Class A Common Stock.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, FinServ’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.

While FinServ currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to FinServ, it is possible that FinServ’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If FinServ’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the holders of Class A Common Stock may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

FinServ may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of its directors and executive officers.

FinServ has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, FinServ’s officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by FinServ only if (i) FinServ has sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) FinServ consummates an initial business combination. FinServ’s obligation to indemnify its officers and directors may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against its officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against FinServ’s officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit FinServ and its stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent FinServ pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against its officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

If, after FinServ distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to the holders of Class A Common Stock, it files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against FinServ that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and FinServ and its board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

If, after FinServ distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its stockholders, it files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against FinServ that is not dismissed, any distributions received by FinServ’s stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by FinServ’s stockholders. In addition, the FinServ board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to its creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and FinServ to claims of punitive damages, by paying FinServ’s stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

Table of Contents

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the holders of Class A Common Stock, FinServ files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against FinServ that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of FinServ’s stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by FinServ’s stockholders in connection with FinServ’s liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the holders of Class A Common Stock, FinServ files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against FinServ that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in FinServ’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of FinServ’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by FinServ’s stockholders in connection with FinServ’s liquidation may be reduced.

FinServ stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against FinServ to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to the holders of Class A Common Stock upon the redemption of the Class A Common Stock in the event FinServ does not complete an initial business combination within the timeframe set forth in the Existing Charter may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is FinServ’s intention to redeem the Class A Common Stock as soon as reasonably possible in the event it does not complete its initial business combination and, therefore, FinServ does not intend to comply with the foregoing procedures.

Because FinServ will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires FinServ to adopt a plan, based on facts known to FinServ at such time that will provide for FinServ’s payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against FinServ within the 10 years following its dissolution. However, because FinServ is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and FinServ’s operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from FinServ’s vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If FinServ’s plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. FinServ cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, FinServ’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of FinServ’s stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to the holders of Class A Common Stock upon the redemption of the Class A Common Stock in the event FinServ does not complete an initial business combination within the timeframe set forth in the Existing Charter is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six (6) years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three (3) years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.

FinServ may not be able to complete the PIPE Investment in connection with the merger.

FinServ may not be able to complete the PIPE Investment on terms that are acceptable to FinServ, or at all. If FinServ does not complete the PIPE Investment, FinServ may not be able to consummate the merger or certain other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The terms of any alternative financing may be more onerous to the combined company than the PIPE Investment, and FinServ may be unable to obtain alternative financing on terms

43

Table of Contents

that are acceptable to it, or at all. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the combined company. None of FinServ’s officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to FinServ in connection with or after the consummation of the merger.

FinServ may amend the terms of its warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding warrants. As a result, the exercise price of the warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a public warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

The FinServ warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”), as warrant agent, and FinServ. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of FinServ’s warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of the warrants. Accordingly, FinServ may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding warrants approve of such amendment. Although FinServ’s ability to amend the terms of the warrants with the consent of at least 65% of the then outstanding warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

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

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

Subsequent to the consummation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, New Katapult may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, or the combined company may be subject to restructuring, impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on the combined company’s financial condition, results of operations and the price of New Katapult common stock, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although FinServ has conducted due diligence on Katapult, this diligence may not reveal all material issues that may be present with Katapult’s business. Factors outside of Katapult’s and FinServ’s respective control may, at any time, arise. As a result of these factors, the New Katapult may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in the combined company reporting losses. Even if FinServ’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise, and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with FinServ’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and therefore not have an immediate impact on the combined company’s liquidity, the fact that the combined company reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the combined company or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause the combined company to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

New Katapult’s failure to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that will be applicable to it after the merger is consummated could have a material adverse effect on its business.

Katapult is currently not subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. However, following the consummation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the combined company will be required to provide management’s attestation on internal controls commencing with New Katapult’s annual report for the year ending December 31, 2021 in accordance with applicable SEC guidance. The standards required for a public company under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of Katapult as a privately-held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable after the merger. If the combined company is not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404(a) in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, it may not be able to assess whether its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject it to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of its securities.

New Katapult will qualify as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if it takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, it could make New Katapult’s securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare New Katapult’s performance to the performance of other public companies.

New Katapult will qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, the combined company will be eligible for and intends to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as it continues to be an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, (a) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (b) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in New Katapult’s periodic reports and proxy statements and (c) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, New Katapult’s stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. New Katapult will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following November 5, 2024, (b) in which New Katapult has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which New Katapult is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of its common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which New Katapult has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three (3) year period. FinServ cannot predict whether investors will find New Katapult’s securities less attractive because it will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the combined company’s securities less attractive as a result of the combined company’s reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of the combined company’s securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for New Katapult’s securities and the trading prices of the combined company’s securities may be more volatile.

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

The future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of New Katapult’s common stock.

Certain New Katapult shareholders will have registration rights for restricted securities. In connection with the consummation of the merger, New Katapult will enter into the A&R RRA with FinServ, the Sponsor and certain other stockholders of New Katapult, which will provide for customary “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights for certain stockholders. Sales of a substantial number of shares of New Katapult common stock pursuant to the resale registration statement in the public market could occur at any time the registration statement remains effective. In addition, certain registration rights holders can request underwritten offerings to sell their securities. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of New Katapult common stock.

Warrants will become exercisable for New Katapult common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to New Katapult stockholders.

Outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,832,500 shares of New Katapult common stock will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the merger or 12 months from the consummation of FinServ’s IPO. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) share of New Katapult common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment. Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of New Katapult common stock. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of New Katapult common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the then existing holders of common stock of Katapult and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

FinServ’s ability to successfully effect the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and New Katapult’s ability to successfully operate the business thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of Katapult, all of whom FinServ expects to stay with the combined company following the consummation of the merger. Any loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and financial results of the combined business.

FinServ’s ability to successfully effect the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and New Katapult’s ability to successfully operate the business following the consummation of the merger is dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of Katapult. Although FinServ expects key personnel to remain with the combined company following the consummation of the merger, there can be no assurance that they will do so. It is possible that Katapult will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the combined company. Furthermore, following the consummation of the merger, certain of the key personnel of Katapult may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause the combined company to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.

The Existing Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in FinServ’s name, actions against FinServ’s directors, officers, other employees or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel, which may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against FinServ’s directors, officers, other employees or stockholders.

The Existing Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in FinServ’s name, actions against FinServ’s directors, officers, other employees or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel except any action (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within 10 days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or as to which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, for which the federal district court for the District of Delaware will have sole jurisdiction. Any person or entity purchasing or

46

Table of Contents

otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in our Existing Charter. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with FinServ or any of its directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although such stockholders will not be deemed to have waived FinServ’s compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. However, there is no assurance that a court would enforce the choice of forum provision contained in the Existing Charter. If a court were to find such provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, FinServ may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

The Existing Charter provides that the exclusive forum provision will be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Additional Risks Relating to Ownership of New Katapult Common Stock Following the Merger

Nasdaq may delist New Katapult’s securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in its securities and subject New Katapult to additional trading restrictions.

Currently, FinServ’s units, Class A Common Stock and warrants are publicly traded on the Nasdaq. We intend to list New Katapult’s common stock and warrants on the Nasdaq under the symbols KPLT and KPLTW, respectively, upon the closing of the merger. FinServ will not have units traded following closing of the merger. FinServ cannot assure you that its securities will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq following the merger. In order to continue listing its securities on the Nasdaq following the merger, New Katapult will be required to maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels. Generally, New Katapult will be required to maintain a minimum amount in stockholders’ equity (generally $2,500,000 for companies trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market) and a minimum number of holders of our securities (generally 300 public holders). Additionally, in connection with the merger, New Katapult will be required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of its securities on the Nasdaq. For instance, New Katapult’s stock price would generally be required to be at least $4.00 per share, its stockholders’ equity would generally be required to be at least $5.0 million and it would be required to have a minimum of 300 round lot holders of its securities. We cannot assure you that New Katapult will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time.

If Nasdaq delists New Katapult’s securities from trading on its exchange and New Katapult is not able to list its securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

• a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

• reduced liquidity for our securities;

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

• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

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

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Since FinServ’s units, Class A Common Stock and warrants are listed on the Nasdaq, they are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of its securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While FinServ is not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, other than the State of Idaho,

Table of Contents

certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if FinServ was no longer listed on the Nasdaq, its securities would not be covered securities and it would be subject to regulation in each state in which it offers its securities, including in connection with the initial business combination.

New Katapult’s stock price may change significantly following the merger and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

The trading price of the New Katapult common stock is likely to be volatile. The stock market recently has experienced extreme volatility. This volatility often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. You may not be able to resell your shares at an attractive price due to a number of factors such as those listed in “— Risks Relating to Katapult’s Business and Industry” and the following:

• results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;

• results of operations that vary from those of New Katapult’s competitors;

• the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on New Katapult’s business and financial conditions;

• changes in expectations as to New Katapult’s future financial performance, including financial estimates and investment recommendations by securities analysts and investors;

• declines in the market prices of stocks generally;

• strategic actions by New Katapult or its competitors;

• announcements by New Katapult or its competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint ventures, other strategic relationships or capital commitments;

• any significant change in New Katapult’s management;

• changes in general economic or market conditions or trends in New Katapult’s industry or markets;

• changes in business or regulatory conditions, including new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to New Katapult’s business;

• future sales of New Katapult’s common stock or other securities;

• investor perceptions or the investment opportunity associated with New Katapult’s common stock relative to other investment alternatives;

• the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by New Katapult or third parties, including New Katapult’s filings with the SEC;

• litigation involving New Katapult, New Katapult’s industry, or both, or investigations by regulators into New Katapult’s operations or those of New Katapult’s competitors;

• guidance, if any, that New Katapult provides to the public, any changes in this guidance or New Katapult’s failure to meet this guidance;

• the development and sustainability of an active trading market for New Katapult’s stock;

• actions by institutional or activist stockholders;

• changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles; and

• other events or factors, including those resulting from natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events.

These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of New Katapult’s common stock, regardless of New Katapult’s actual operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of New Katapult’s common stock is low.

48

Table of Contents

In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If New Katapult was involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from New Katapult’s business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on New Katapult’s common stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

New Katapult intends to retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and there are no current plans to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of New Katapult common stock will be at the sole discretion of New Katapult’s board of directors. New Katapult’s board of directors may take into account general and economic conditions, New Katapult’s financial condition and results of operations, New Katapult’s available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax, and regulatory restrictions, implications on the payment of dividends by New Katapult to its stockholders or by its subsidiaries to it and such other factors as New Katapult’s board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, New Katapult’s ability to pay dividends is limited by covenants of Katapult’s existing and outstanding indebtedness and may be limited by covenants of any future indebtedness New Katapult incurs. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in New Katapult’s common stock unless you sell New Katapult’s common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about New Katapult’s business or if they downgrade New Katapult’s stock or New Katapult’s sector, New Katapult’s stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for New Katapult’s common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about New Katapult or its business. New Katapult will not control these analysts. In addition, some financial analysts may have limited expertise with Katapult’s model and operations. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover New Katapult downgrade its stock or industry, or the stock of any of its competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, the price of New Katapult’s stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of New Katapult or fails to publish reports on it regularly, New Katapult could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause its stock price or trading volume to decline.

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by New Katapult or its stockholders in the public market following the merger could cause the market price for New Katapult’s common stock to decline.

The sale of shares of New Katapult’s common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of New Katapult’s common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for New Katapult to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.

Upon consummation of the merger, using the value of the Trust Account as of , and subject to the assumptions set forth in “Basis of Presentation and Glossary”, New Katapult would have a total of approximately million shares of common stock (assuming no redemptions) outstanding. All shares issued in the merger will be freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act and without restriction by persons other than New Katapult’s “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, “Rule 144”), including New Katapult’s directors, executive officers and other affiliates.

The Sponsor and the holder of the Founder Shares and certain substantial holders of Katapult’s common stock (determined on an as-converted basis) (the “Investors”) have agreed with FinServ, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer or dispose of their New Katapult common stock (other than New Katapult common stock underlying the Private Placement Units) during the period from the date of the closing of the merger through the earlier of (i) 180 days after the consummation of the merger, (ii) the date that the closing price of the New Katapult common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 for 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period following the 90th day following the merger and (iii) the consummation of a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New Katapult’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of New Katapult common stock for cash, securities or other property. FinServ’s current officers and directors and their affiliates have further agreed not to transfer or disposed of the New Katapult common stock underlying the Private Placement Units until 30 days following the merger.

Upon the expiration or waiver of the lock-ups described above, shares held by the Investors and certain other stockholders of New Katapult will be eligible for resale, subject to volume, manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144, when such rule becomes applicable to FinServ. In addition, pursuant to the A&R RRA, the Investors and certain other stockholders will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require New Katapult to register the sale of their shares of New Katapult’s common stock under the Securities Act. By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number of shares, these stockholders could cause the prevailing market price of New Katapult’s common stock to decline. Following completion of the merger, the shares covered by registration rights will represent approximately % of New Katapult’s outstanding common stock.

As restrictions on resale end or if these stockholders exercise their registration rights, the market price of shares of New Katapult’s common stock could drop significantly if the holders of these shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for New Katapult to raise additional funds through future offerings of New Katapult’s shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities.

In addition, the shares of New Katapult common stock reserved for future issuance under New Katapult’s equity incentive plans will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable. The number of shares of New Katapult’s common stock expected to be reserved for future issuance under its equity incentive plan is equal to the sum of (a) up to 10% of the aggregate number of New Katapult common stock outstanding at closing (but without inclusion of any Earn-out Shares), as mutually agreed by FinServ and Katapult based on input from an independent third-party compensation consultant and (b) the number of Earn-out Shares to be issued thereunder. New Katapult is expected to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of New Katapult’s common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of New Katapult’s common stock issued pursuant to New Katapult’s equity incentive plans. Any such Form S-8 registration statements will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market.

In the future, New Katapult may also issue its securities in connection with investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of New Katapult’s common stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of New Katapult’s then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to New Katapult’s stockholders.

Anti-takeover provisions in New Katapult’s organizational documents could delay or prevent a change of control.

Certain provisions of New Katapult’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws to become effective upon the consummation of the merger may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by New Katapult’s stockholders.

These provisions provide for, among other things:

• the ability of New Katapult’s board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock;

• advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at New Katapult’s annual meetings;

• certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;

• limiting the ability of stockholders to act by written consent; and

• New Katapult’s board of directors have the express authority to make, alter or repeal New Katapult’s amended and restated bylaws.

50

Table of Contents

These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire New Katapult, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many of New Katapult’s stockholders. As a result, New Katapult’s stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause New Katapult to take other corporate actions you desire. See “Description of New Katapult Capital Stock.”

New Katapult’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation will designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by New Katapult’s stockholders, which could limit New Katapult’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with New Katapult or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

New Katapult’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, subject to limited exceptions, any (1) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Katapult, (2) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, stockholder or employee to New Katapult or its stockholders, (3) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or New Katapult’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or New Katapult’s amended and restated bylaws, or (4) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of New Katapult’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of New Katapult’s certificate of incorporation described above. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New Katapult or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against New Katapult and its directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of New Katapult’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, New Katapult may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect New Katapult’s business and financial condition.

Certain of New Katapult’s stockholders, including the Sponsor, may engage in business activities which compete with New Katapult or otherwise conflict with New Katapult’s interests.

The Sponsor is in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with New Katapult. New Katapult’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that none of the Sponsor, any of their respective affiliates or any director who is not employed by New Katapult (including any non-employee director who serves as one (1) of New Katapult’s officers in both his director and officer capacities) or his or her affiliates will have any duty to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same business activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which New Katapult operates. The Sponsor also may pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to New Katapult’s business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to New Katapult.

Risks Relating to Redemption

There is no guarantee that a FinServ public stockholder’s decision whether to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put such stockholder in a better future economic position.

No assurance can be given as to the price at which a public stockholder may be able to sell the shares of New Katapult common stock in the future following the completion of the merger. Certain events following the consummation of any business combination, including the merger, may cause an increase in New Katapult’s stock price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a FinServ stockholder might realize in the future had the stockholder not elected to redeem such stockholder’s shares of Class A Common Stock. Similarly, if a FinServ public stockholder does not redeem his, her or its shares, such stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of New Katapult common stock after the consummation of the merger, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell his, her or its shares of New Katapult common stock in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A FinServ public stockholder should consult his, her or its own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect its individual situation.

51

Table of Contents

If FinServ public stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statem ent/prospec tus, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

To exercise their redemption rights, holders of FinServ Class A Common Stock are required to deliver their stock, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to FinServ’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the Special Meeting. If a holder fails to properly seek redemption as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and the merger with Katapult is consummated, such holder will not be entitled to redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If you or a “group” of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the shares of Class A Common Stock, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the Class A Common Stock.

A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares of Class A Common Stock or, if part of such a group, the group’s Class A Common Stock, in excess of 15% of the shares of Class A Common Stock. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares of Class A Common Stock could resulting in you suffering a material loss on your investment in FinServ if you sell such excess Class A Common Stock in open market transactions. FinServ cannot assure you that the value of such excess Class A Common Stock will appreciate over time following the merger or that the market price of the Class A Common Stock will exceed the per-share redemption price.

1. Description of the Transactions

The Merger

The terms and conditions of the merger are contained in the merger agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. If the merger agreement is approved and adopted and the merger is subsequently completed, Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Katapult, with Katapult surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ, followed immediately by the merger of the resulting company with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ.

Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each share of Katapult preferred stock issued and outstanding will be converted into a number of shares of Katapult common stock in accordance with the (i) irrevocable written consent executed by certain Pre-Closing Holders, who, collectively, hold a majority of Katapult preferred stock (the “Conversion Written Consent”) and (ii) fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Katapult (the “Katapult charter”) (the “Katapult Preferred Conversion”).

At the First Effective Time, each share of Katapult common stock (including common stock to be issued as a result of the conversion of Katapult preferred stock in connection with the merger) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than dissenting shares and Unvested Katapult Restricted Shares) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, consisting of (i) cash consideration, as determined under the merger agreement and further described herein, (ii) a number of shares of New Katapult common stock equal to (a) $833.0 million (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and net of the value of all Katapult Options to be converted into New Katapult options), minus the aggregate amount of cash paid in clause (i), divided by (b) 10 and (iii) the applicable portion of the 7,500,000 restricted shares of New Katapult common stock that will vest upon, among other things, the achievement of certain earn-out thresholds prior to the sixth anniversary of the closing of the merger. See “The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The PIPE Investment

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, each of FinServ and certain third-party investors (the “PIPE Investors”) entered into subscription agreements (the “PIPE Agreements”) pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have respectively subscribed for 15,000,000 newly-issued shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued at the closing of the merger. The obligations to consummate the subscriptions contemplated by the PIPE Agreements are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the merger as set forth in the PIPE Agreements.

The Debt Refinancing

On December 4, 2020, the Company entered into the ninth amendment to its first revolving line of credit facility. This amendment provided the borrower with the right to increase the revolving commitment amount from $125.0 million to $250.0 million. This right has not yet been exercised by the borrower as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. The amendment also provided the Company with a senior secured term loan facility commitment of up to $50.0 million. The Company drew down the full $50.0 million of this term loan on December 4, 2020. In conjunction with the amended loan and security agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 4,988,719 shares of Series C 1 Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to these debt refinancing activities occurring subsequent to September 30, 2020, collectively referred to as the “Debt Refinancing.”

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). FinServ has elected not to present

Table of Contents

Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The Transaction Accounting Adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the merger, the PIPE Investment, and the Debt Refinancing.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 gives effect to the merger, the PIPE Investment, and the Debt Refinancing as if they occurred on September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 give effect to the merger, the PIPE Investment, and the Debt Refinancing as if they occurred on January 1, 2019, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments reflecting the consummation of the merger, the PIPE Investment, and the Debt Refinancing are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that FinServ believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. FinServ believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the merger, the PIPE Investment, and the Debt Refinancing based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the merger. FinServ and Katapult have not had any historical relationship prior to the merger. Accordingly, no pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies. Amounts are presented in thousands, except for share and per share amounts or as otherwise specified.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information considers two redemption scenarios as follows:

• Assuming no redemptions: This scenario assumes that no FinServ public stockholders exercise their redemption rights demanding redemption of their shares of Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, and thus the full amount held in the Trust Account as of closing is available for the merger; and

• Assuming maximum redemptions: This scenario assumes that FinServ public stockholders holding 17,538,092 shares of Class A Common Stock will exercise their redemption rights demanding redemption of their Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion (approximately $10.05 per share) of the funds in the Trust Account. Under the merger agreement, it is a condition to Katapult’s obligations to close that after giving effect to any redemptions and the PIPE Investment, FinServ has at least $225 million in available distributable cash. This scenario gives effect to redemptions of 17,538,092 share of Class A Common Stock for aggregate redemption payments of $176.3 million using a per-share redemption price of $10.05 (due to investment related gains in the Trust Account).

Any payments to public stockholders for redemptions would have a corresponding decrease on the Cash Consideration paid to the sellers in connection with the merger such that the cash outflows under either redemption scenario are the same. Additionally, any redemptions of shares of Class A Common Stock would have a correlated, but not direct, increase in the Stock Consideration paid to the sellers in connection with the merger. The difference in the relationship between shares redeemed and Stock Consideration issued is a result of the per-share redemption price being $10.05 (due to investment-related gains in the Trust Account) compared to the $10.00 per share assumed in determining the Share Consideration per the merger agreement. Under either scenario, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements would be the same, and as such, the two scenarios have not been presented separately.

Table of Contents

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes have been derived from and should be read in conjunction with:

• the (i) audited historical financial statements of FinServ for the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 and (ii) unaudited historical condensed financial statements of FinServ as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the related notes, in each case, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus;

• the (i) audited historical consolidated financial statements of Katapult for the year ended December 31, 2019 and (ii) unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements of Katapult as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the related notes, in each case, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

• the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of FinServ,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of Katapult,” and other financial information relating to FinServ and Katapult included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the merger, PIPE Investment, and Debt Refinancing taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company.

3. Accounting for the Merger

The merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although FinServ will issue shares for outstanding equity interests of Katapult in the merger, FinServ will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the merger will be treated as the equivalent of Katapult issuing stock for the net assets of FinServ, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FinServ will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the merger will be those of Katapult.

Katapult has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the no and maximum redemption scenarios:

• The former owners of Katapult hold the majority of voting rights in the combined company;

• Katapult and its former owners have the right to appoint a majority of the directors in the combined company;

• Katapult’s existing senior management team will comprise senior management of the combined company;

• The operations of the combined company will represent the operations of Katapult; and

• The combined company will assume Katapult’s name and headquarters.

4. Capitalization

The merger agreement provides that available distributable cash, after giving effect to redemptions by FinServ public stockholders and the PIPE Investment, must be at least $225 million. As such, the maximum number of shares that can be redeemed by public stockholders is 17,538,092 for aggregate redemption payments of $176.3 million using a per-share redemption price of $10.05 (due to investment-related gains in the Trust Account). Any payments to public stockholders for redemptions would have a corresponding decrease on the Cash Consideration paid to the sellers in connection with the merger such that the cash outflows under either redemption scenario are the same. Additionally, any redemptions of shares of Class A Common Stock would have a correlated, but not direct, increase in the Stock Consideration paid to the sellers in connection with the merger. The difference in the relationship between shares redeemed and Stock Consideration issued is a result of the per-share redemption price being $10.05 (due to investment-related gains in the Trust Account) compared to the $10.00 per share assumed in determining the Share Consideration per the merger agreement.

6. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and the Year Ended December 31, 2019

The pro forma notes and adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:

Pro forma notes

(A) Derived from the unaudited condensed statement of operations of FinServ for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(B) Derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Katapult for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(D) Derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of Katapult for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments

(a) To reflect the impact on interest expense of the Debt Refinancing during the fourth quarter of 2020 as if it had occurred on January 1, 2019, including the elimination of historical interest expense, payment of early payment penalties and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs on debt repaid offset by recognizing interest expense on the new Katapult term loan. The annual cash interest rate on the new Katapult term loan is the one month LIBOR rate, subject to a 1% floor, plus 8% per annum. If the LIBOR rate were to increase or decrease by 1/8th of one percent, the interest expense would be unchanged.

(b) To eliminate fees incurred by FinServ under the administrative support and consulting agreements which will cease upon closing of the merger as well as reflect the accelerated vesting of stock options that will vest upon closing as of January 1, 2019.

(c) To eliminate interest income earned on the Trust Account which will be released upon closing of the merger.

FINSERV SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

General

FinServ is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors for use at the Special Meeting to be held on , 2021 and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus provides FinServ’s stockholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or direct their vote to be cast at the Special Meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The Special Meeting will be held on , 2021, at Eastern Time, via a virtual meeting. On or about , 2021, FinServ commenced mailing this proxy statement/prospectus and the enclosed form of proxy to its stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

FinServ stockholders are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

1. the Business Combination Proposal;

2. the Charter Proposals;

3. the Director Election Proposal;

4. the Nasdaq Proposal;

5 . the Incentive Plan Proposal; and

6. the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary).

Recommendation of the FinServ Board of Directors

The FinServ board of directors has unanimously determined that the merger, on the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, is advisable and in the best interests of FinServ and its stockholders and has directed that the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus be submitted to its stockholders for approval at the Special Meeting on the date and at the time and place set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. The FinServ board of directors unanimously recommends that FinServ’s stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposals, “FOR” the election of each of the seven (7) directors nominated in the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary).

Voting Power; Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if you owned shares of FinServ common stock at the close of business on , 2021, which is the record date for the Special Meeting. You are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of FinServ common stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were shares of common stock outstanding, of which are shares of Class A Common Stock and 6,915,000 are Founder Shares or Private Placement Units.

Vote of the Sponsor and FinServ’s Directors and Officers

FinServ has entered into an agreement with the Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors pursuant to which each has agreed to vote any shares of FinServ common stock owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

64

Table of Contents

The Sponsor has waived any redemption rights, including with respect to shares of FinServ common stock purchased in FinServ’s IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with merger. The Founder Shares and Private Placement Units held by the Sponsor have no redemption rights upon FinServ’s liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by FinServ by November 5, 2021. However, the Sponsor is entitled to redemption rights upon FinServ’s liquidation with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock they may own other than those underlying the Private Placement Units.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

A quorum of FinServ stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the issued and outstanding FinServ common stock entitled to vote as of the record date at the Special Meeting is represented virtually or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. The holders of the Founder Shares, who currently own 21.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of FinServ common stock, will count towards this quorum. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, shares of FinServ common stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Approval of the Charter Proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately. Approval of the election of each of the seven (7) directors nominated in the Director Election Proposal requires a plurality of the votes cast by holders of common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class, regardless of whether a quorum is present.

If FinServ stockholders fail to approve the Business Combination Proposal, or, unless otherwise waived by Katapult and FinServ, the Charter Proposals or the Incentive Plan Proposal, the merger will not occur. The Charter Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal) will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, then the merger may not be consummated. If FinServ does not consummate the merger and fails to complete an initial business combination by November 5, 2021, FinServ will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Recommendation of the FinServ Board of Directors

FinServ’s board of directors unanimously determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, were advisable and in the best interests of, FinServ and its stockholders. Accordingly, FinServ’s board of directors unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals here in.

When you consider the recommendation of FinServ’s board of directors in favor of approval of these proposals, you should keep in mind that FinServ’s directors and officers have interests in the merger that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

• If the merger or another business combination is not consummated by November 5, 2021, FinServ will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 6,250,000 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 (and a subsequent dividend thereon) prior to FinServ’s IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an estimated aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per public share on the Nasdaq on , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting.

65

Table of Contents

• The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 665,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) from FinServ for an aggregate purchase price of $6,650,000 (or $10.00 per unit) in a private placement. These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of FinServ’s IPO. A portion of the proceeds FinServ received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account. Such units had an estimated aggregate value of $ based on the closing price of $ per warrant on the Nasdaq on , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting. The Private Placement Units are not subject to redemption and will become worthless if FinServ does not consummate a business combination by November 5, 2021.

• If FinServ is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, its executive officers will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by FinServ for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to FinServ. If FinServ consummates a business combination, on the other hand, FinServ will be liable for all such claims.

• FinServ’s officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on FinServ’s behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if FinServ fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, FinServ may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the merger or another business combination, are not completed by November 5, 2021.

• The continued indemnification of current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Proposals. Because there are no “non-routine” matters being proposed, there will be no broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of FinServ common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one (1) vote on each of the proposals for the Special Meeting. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of shares of FinServ common stock that you own. There are several ways to have your shares of common stock voted:

• You can submit a proxy to vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting. If you submit a proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of FinServ common stock will be voted as recommended by FinServ’s board of directors. FinServ’s board of directors unanimously recommends that FinServ’s stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposals, “FOR” the election of each of the seven (7) directors nominated in the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary).

• You can attend the Special Meeting and vote virtually even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy pursuant to any of the methods noted above. You will be given a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares of FinServ common stock are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way FinServ can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of FinServ common stock.

66

Table of Contents

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a record owner of your shares and you give a proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

• you may send another proxy card with a later date;

• you may notify FinServ’s secretary in writing before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

• you may attend the Special Meeting virtually, revoke your proxy, and vote online as described above.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

No Additional Matters May be Presented at the Special Meeting

The Special Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary). Under FinServ’s bylaws, no other matters may be considered at the Special Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus, which serves as the notice of the Special Meeting.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of FinServ common stock, you may call Morrow Sodali, the proxy solicitation agent for FinServ, toll-free at (800) 662-5200 (banks and brokers call (203) 658-9400) or email Morrow Sodali at FinServ.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

Redemption Rights

Holders of Class A Common Stock may seek to redeem their shares for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against, or whether they abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal. Any stockholder holding Class A Common Stock may demand that FinServ redeem such shares for a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $10.05 per share as of September 30, 2020), calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the merger. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the merger with Katapult is consummated, FinServ will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the merger.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Class A Common Stock, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, all shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of 15% held by a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed for cash.

Holders of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units will not have redemption rights with respect to such shares.

Holders may demand redemption by delivering their stock, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to FinServ’s transfer agent two (2) business days prior to the Special Meeting. If you hold the shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. In the event the proposed merger is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their shares.

Table of Contents

FinServ’s transfer agent can be contacted at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street — 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attn: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).

If the merger is not approved or completed for any reason, then FinServ’s public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares for a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account, as applicable. In such case, FinServ will promptly return any shares delivered by public holders. If FinServ would be left with less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets as a result of the holders of Class A Common Stock properly demanding redemption of their shares for cash or the Minimum Cash Condition would not be satisfied, FinServ will not be able to consummate the merger.

The closing price of Class A Common Stock on , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, was $ . The cash held in the Trust Account on such date was approximately $ million ($ per public share). Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of Class A Common Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. FinServ cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Class A Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a holder of Class A Common Stock exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then he, she or it will be exchanging its shares of Class A Common Stock for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption no later than the close of the vote on the Business Combination Proposal by delivering your stock certificate (either physically or electronically) to FinServ’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the Special Meeting, and the merger is consummated.

For a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for stockholders with respect to the exercise of these redemption rights, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences of a Redemption of FinServ Public Shares” beginning on page 168. The consequences of a redemption to any particular stockholder will depend on that stockholder’s particular facts and circumstances. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine your tax consequences from the exercise of your redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax laws in light of your particular circumstances.

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of FinServ common stock in connection with the merger.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

FinServ is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone. FinServ and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies online. FinServ will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials. FinServ will bear the cost of the solicitation.

FinServ has hired Morrow Sodali to assist in the proxy solicitation process. FinServ will pay to a fee of $ , plus disbursements.

68

Table of Contents

FinServ will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. FinServ will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

The Sponsor

As of , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, the Sponsor and FinServ’s directors owned of record and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 6,250,000 Founder Shares and 665,000 Private Placement Units that were issued prior to FinServ’s IPO. Such shares currently constitute 21.7% of the outstanding shares of FinServ common stock. The Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors have agreed to vote the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and any shares of FinServ common stock acquired in the aftermarket, in favor of each of the proposals being presented at the Special Meeting. The Founder Shares and Private Placement Units have no right to participate in any redemption distribution and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by FinServ.

In August 2019, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share. In October 2019, we effected a stock dividend for approximately 0.11 shares for each share of Class B Common Stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,325,000 Founder Shares.

On November 5, 2019, FinServ completed its IPO of 25,000,000 units, which included the partial exercise by the underwriter of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per unit (“units”), generating gross proceeds of $250 million. Each unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001, and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Because the underwriters of FinServ’s IPO did not exercise their over-allotment option in full, 75,000 of the Sponsor’s Founder Shares were forfeited in November 2019, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,250,000 Founder Shares.

Concurrently with the completion of FinServ’s IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 665,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, or $6.65 million in the aggregate. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Units was added to the net proceeds of FinServ’s IPO and placed in the Trust Account such that the Trust Account held $250.0 million at the time of closing of FinServ’s IPO. Each Private Placement Unit contains one share of Class A Common Stock and one half of one warrant.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The Nasdaq rules require that FinServ’s initial business combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of it signing a definitive agreement in connection with an initial business combination. FinServ’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed business combination with Katapult as described in the section titled “The Merger” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Stockholder Approval of Merger and Redemptions

Under FinServ’s Existing Charter, in connection with any proposed business combination, FinServ is required to seek stockholder approval of a business combination at a meeting called for such purpose. Pursuant to the terms of this transaction as described in the section titled “Special Meeting of Stockholders” in this proxy statement/prospectus, FinServ is seeking stockholder approval at a meeting called for such purpose at which public stockholders may seek to redeem their Class A Common Stock for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination, subject to the limitations described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, in connection with the merger, the FinServ public stockholders may seek to redeem their Class A Common Stock for cash in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

FinServ will complete the merger only if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of FinServ common stock, voting together as a single class, vote in favor of the merger. A majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding FinServ common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting must be present online or

70

Table of Contents

represented by proxy, at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business. The holders of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Units, who currently own approximately 21.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of FinServ common stock, will count towards this quorum.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement entered into with FinServ, the Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Units held by them and any shares of Class A Common Stock purchased during or after FinServ’s IPO in favor of an initial business combination. See “Other Agreements — FinServ Letter Agreement” and “Other Agreements — Sponsor Agreement” for more information. The Sponsor, FinServ’s directors and officers and their permitted transferees own at least 20% of its outstanding common stock entitled to vote thereon. The quorum and voting thresholds at the Special Meeting, the Letter Agreement may make it more likely that FinServ will consummate the merger. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and any shares of Class A Common Stock held by them in connection with the completion of a business combination.

Liquidation if No Initial Business Combination

The Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors have agreed that FinServ will have only until November 5, 2021 to complete any initial business combination. If FinServ is unable to complete an initial business combination before November 5, 2021, FinServ will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A Common Stock, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to FinServ to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and FinServ’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to FinServ’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to its warrants, which will expire worthless if FinServ fails to complete an initial business combination within the 24 month time period.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares and Private Placement Units held by them if FinServ fails to complete an initial business combination by November 5, 2021. The Sponsor and FinServ’s directors and officers will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock acquired in the aftermarket if FinServ fails to complete its initial business combination within the allotted time period.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors have agreed that they will not propose any amendment to FinServ’s Existing Charter that would affect the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of its shares of Class A Common Stock if FinServ does not complete an initial business combination before November 5, 2021, unless FinServ provides its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to FinServ to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. However, FinServ may not redeem its Class A Common Stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (so that it does not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules).

FinServ expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $1,150,000 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account, as of December 31, 2020, although FinServ cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses

71

Table of Contents

associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes, FinServ may request the trustee to release to it an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

If FinServ were to expend all of the net proceeds of its IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon FinServ’s dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of FinServ’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of its public stockholders. FinServ cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. While FinServ intends to pay such amounts, if any, it cannot assure you that it will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although FinServ seeks to have all third parties, service providers (other than its independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which it does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute or have executed such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against its assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, FinServ’s management performs an analysis of the alternatives available to it and only enters into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to FinServ than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where FinServ may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.

In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with FinServ and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of the Class A Common Stock, if FinServ is unable to complete its initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with its initial business combination, FinServ will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against FinServ within the 10 years following redemption. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to FinServ, jointly and severally, if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than FinServ’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to FinServ, or a prospective target business with which FinServ has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay its taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under its indemnity of the underwriters of FinServ’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. FinServ has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of its company and, therefore, its Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of FinServ’s other officers will indemnify FinServ for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay its taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, FinServ’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against its Sponsor to enforce their indemnification obligations. While FinServ currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsor to enforce their indemnification

72

Table of Contents

obligations to FinServ, it is possible that its independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, FinServ cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per share redemption price will not be substantially less than $10.00 per share.

FinServ will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all third parties, service providers (other than its independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which FinServ does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of FinServ’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. FinServ will have access to up to $1,150,000, of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account, as of December 31, 2020, with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with its liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that FinServ liquidates and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from FinServ’s Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

If FinServ files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it and the petition is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in the bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of FinServ’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, FinServ cannot assure you it will be able to return $10.00 per share to its public stockholders. Additionally, if the bankruptcy petition is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover from FinServ’s stockholders some or all amounts received. Furthermore, FinServ’s board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to FinServ’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and FinServ to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. FinServ cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against FinServ for these reasons.

FinServ’s public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the completion of the initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any Class A Common Stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend any provisions of FinServ’s Existing Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of FinServ’s obligation to offer redemption rights in connection with any proposed initial business combination or to redeem 100% of FinServ’s Class A Common Stock if it does not complete the initial business combination by November 5, 2021 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of all of FinServ’s Class A Common Stock if it is unable to complete the initial business combination by November 5, 2021, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In connection with the merger, a stockholder’s vote in connection with the initial business combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares of FinServ for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights.

Facilities

FinServ currently maintains its executive offices at Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105. FinServ considers its current office space adequate for its current operations. FinServ entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which it pays a total of $10,000 per month for office space and related support services. Upon consummation of the merger, the principal executive offices of FinServ will be those of Katapult, at which time nothing more will be paid to the Sponsor pursuant to such agreement.

Employees

FinServ currently has two (2) officers and does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of an initial business combination. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to FinServ’s matters but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to its affairs and intend to continue doing so until it has completed its initial business combination.

Robert Matza |  | 64 |  | Director
Diane B. Glossman |  | 64 |  | Director
Aris Kekedjian |  | 54 |  | Director

Lee Einbinder, our Chief Executive Officer and a Director since inception, has over 30 years’ experience as an M&A and capital markets advisor to financial services and FinTech companies. Previously, until 2019, Mr. Einbinder was a Vice Chairman at Barclays and was responsible for senior client relationships across the financial services industry, including Banks, Specialty Finance, Financial Technology, Asset Management and Financial Sponsors. Mr. Einbinder was at Barclays since the acquisition of Lehman Brothers in 2008, and during that time was also co-Head of the Financial Institutions Group and a member of the Investment Banking Operating Committee. Prior to joining Barclays, Mr. Einbinder worked at Lehman Brothers from 1996 to 2008, where he was Head of the Specialty Finance group and founded the Financial Technology group. He previously worked in similar capacities at CS First Boston and Salomon Brothers. Mr. Einbinder is expected to serve as a Director of Katapult upon the closing of the business combination with FinServ. He received his M.B.A. with Distinction from the Wharton School and his B.S.E. cum laude from Princeton University. We believe Mr. Einbinder is well qualified to serve as one of our directors due to his extensive finance and investment experience.

Howard Kurz, our President and Chief Financial Officer since inception, has over 30 years’ experience as a successful institutional investor and asset manager. Mr. Kurz was the founder and has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Lily Pond Capital Management LLC (“LPCM”), an alternative investment manager headquartered in New York since 2001. Most recently, LPCM was the investment manager of a Private Equity Fund (Lilypad Investors I) which provided early stage operating capital and expertise to an array of alternative investment management firms. Before founding LPCM, from September 1996 to January 2001, Mr. Kurz was Managing Director and Head of North American Financial Markets at The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc. Additionally, he was responsible globally for Foreign Exchange, Emerging Markets, and principal investments and was a senior member of the division’s Executive Committee. Prior to RBS, Mr. Kurz was a Managing Director at Lehman Brothers where he headed the Multi-Markets Proprietary Trading unit. He received his B.A. from University of Pennsylvania. We believe Mr. Kurz is well qualified to serve as one of our directors due to the breadth and depth of his experience in the finance, banking and investment industries.

Robert Matza, who has served as one of our directors since our initial public offering, retired as President, Partner and member of the Executive Committee of GoldenTree in June 2019 after almost 14 years at the firm. Mr. Matza joined GoldenTree in January 2006 and managed GoldenTree’s business management infrastructure, which provides operational support to GoldenTree’s investment products and client franchise. During his time at GoldenTree, Mr. Matza was part of the senior management team that oversaw significant growth in assets under management (from approximately $7 billion to over $30 billion), long only and alternatives (private equity and hedge funds), product lines and personnel. Prior to GoldenTree, Mr. Matza served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Neuberger Berman, Inc., as well as a member of its Board of Directors and Executive Committee, and following its acquisition by Lehman Brothers, a member of Lehman Brothers’ Management and Investment Committees. He joined Neuberger Berman in April 1999 as a Principal, and led the team that successfully completed the initial public offering of Neuberger Berman in November of that same year. Between 2000 and 2003, he negotiated and completed several acquisitions and lift outs. In 2003, Mr. Matza negotiated the $2.6 billion sale of the company to Lehman Brothers. Assets under management grew from approximately $55 billion to over $107 billion from the time that Mr. Matza joined Neuberger Berman, until he left at the end of 2005. Mr. Matza’s industry experience prior to 1996 includes 16 years with Lehman Brothers and its predecessor companies, where he last served as Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Operating and Investment Committees. In 1996, he joined Travelers Group as its Treasurer and became Deputy Treasurer of Citigroup after Travelers and Citicorp merged in 1998.

While at Citigroup, he served on the Finance, Investment and Merger & Acquisition Committees. He began his professional career at Coopers and Lybrand. Mr. Matza currently serves on the Board of Managers (as well as audit and compensation committees) of AG Artemis Holding LP, the holding company of Advisor Group Inc., a privately owned network of independent broker-dealers that was purchased by a private equity firm for $2.3 billion in 2019. He is also serving as a Senior Advisor to Algorand, a blockchain company focused on the commercialization of the secure blockchain to transact for global institutions. Mr. Matza is a member of the Dean’s Advisory Board and the Board of the Center for Institutional Investment Management of the University at Albany’s School of Business. Mr. Matza earned his bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Albany, his MBA in Finance from New York University and he is a Certified Public Accountant. We believe Mr. Matza is well qualified to serve as a Director due to his asset management, investment and mergers and acquisition experience in the financial industry.

Diane B. Glossman, who has served as one of our directors since our initial public offering, spent 25 years as a research analyst, retiring as a Managing Director and head of U.S. bank and brokerage research at UBS.

During her decade on the buy-side, she was responsible for coverage of all financials along with a variety of other industry sectors. Ms. Glossman has been serving as a member of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of Barclays Bank Delaware, Barclays US consumer operations, since June 2016 and chaired the Audit Committee since December 2018.

She has been involved with Bucks County SPCA, a humane organization serving Bucks County, Pennsylvania, since 2003 and currently serves as the Chair of the Finance Committee.

In addition to her directorships, Ms. Glossman has also worked as an independent consultant with a number of banks in the U.S. and U.K. on projects relating to strategy, business execution, and investor communications. During 2013 and 2014, she was a senior fellow at the Center of Financial Stability and was joint author of a report on bank capital.

Ms. Glossman received a B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, with a double major in finance and health care administration, and is a Chartered Financial Analyst. We believe Ms. Glossman is well qualified to serve as a Director due to her strong knowledge of capital markets, institutional investors, and a variety of industries.

Aris Kekedjian, who has served as one of our directors since our initial public offering, retired from GE in 2019 after a 30 year career with the company, most recently serving as head of Corporate Development and Chief Investment Officer since 2016. During this time, Mr. Kekedjian led a number of notable M&A transactions, including the $30 billion merger of GE Oil & Gas with Baker Hughes, creating a $22 billion business with operations in 120 countries, and the $11 billion merger of GE Transportation with Wabtec Corporation, creating a technology category leader for rail equipment, services and software. Mr. Kekedjian is also a strategic advisor to ECN Capital, a finance company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Mr. Kekedjian was previously a Managing Director and Global head of Business Development/M&A at GE Capital from 2010 through 2016.

merger of Met Life’s online bank with Synchrony Financial and a subsequent $3 billion IPO and $20 billion stock split transaction for Synchrony Financial. He also led IPOs of both Cembra Money Bank in Switzerland and Moneta Bank in the Czech Republic. Prior to those divestitures, Mr. Kekedjian was responsible for creating comprehensive strategic plans for deal activities in the banking, real estate, leasing, mortgage, credit card and commercial lending sectors. From 2008 to 2010, Mr. Kekedjian served as Managing Director, Global Corporate Development and Chief Executive Officer for GE Capital, MEA region, responsible for company-wide strategic partnership and alliance development with global, sovereign capital partners. Mr. Kekedjian was previously the Chief Financial Officer of GE Banking & Consumer Finance for the EMEA region (GE Money) from 2004 to 2008, a $10 billion net revenue business with over $100 billion in assets and operations in 25 countries. He joined GE as a part of the Financial Management Program in 1989.

Executive Compensation and Director Compensation

The following disclosure concerns the compensation of FinServ’s executive officers and directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (i.e., pre-business combination) and other interests FinServ’s executive officers and directors have in Class B ordinary shares.

None of FinServ’s executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to FinServ. Since the consummation of FinServ’s IPO and until the earlier of the consummation of the initial business combination and FinServ’s liquidation, FinServ will reimburse the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to FinServ in an amount not to exceed $10,000 per month. In addition, FinServ’s Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates are being reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities conducted on FinServ’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. FinServ’s audit committee reviews all payments that FinServ made to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or their affiliates on a quarterly basis. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination are made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, FinServ does not have any additional controls in place for governing reimbursement payments to its directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of FinServ and in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, is paid by FinServ to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of the initial business combination.

After the completion of the initial business combination, directors or members of its management team who remain with New Katapult may be paid consulting or management fees from New Katapult. For more information on post-combination company executive compensation, see “Executive and Director Compensation of Katapult.” FinServ has not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by Katapult to FinServ’s directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to FinServ’s executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, by a compensation committee constituted solely of independent directors or a majority of the independent directors on FinServ’s board of directors.

FinServ does not intend to take any action to ensure that members of its management team maintain their positions with FinServ after the consummation of the initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of FinServ’s executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with FinServ after the initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements made between FinServ and any existing officers or directors to retain their positions may influence our motivations as it relates to identifying or selecting a target business but FinServ does not believe that the ability of FinServ’s management to remain with us after the consummation of the initial business combination will be a determining factor in the decision to proceed with any potential business combination. FinServ is not party to any agreements with FinServ’s executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

FINSERV’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of FinServ’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with FinServ’s financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Certain information contained in the discussion, including, but not limited to, those described under the heading “Risk Factors” and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involves risks and uncertainties. References in this section to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of FinServ.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to focus our search for prospects within the financial services and FinTech industry with an equity value of approximately $500 million to $2,000 million. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO and the private placement of the Private Placement Units, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to backstop agreements we may enter into), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial business combination to the owners of the target or other investors:

• may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our IPO, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B Common Stock resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock;

• may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;

• could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

• may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

• may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A Common Stock and/or warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:

• default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

• acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

• our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

• our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

• our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;

• using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;

79

Table of Contents

• limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

• increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;

• limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and

• other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for our IPO and identifying a target for our initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses as we conduct due diligence on prospective business combination candidates.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $151,912, which consists of operating costs of $176,390, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $9,760, interest income on our money market account of $6,269 and an income tax benefit of $8,449.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net income of $337,250, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,114,757 and interest income on our money market account of $9,919, offset by operating costs of $584,826 and a provision for income taxes of $584,826.

For the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through September 30, 2019, we had net loss $1,000, which consisted of formation and operating costs.

For the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we had a net income of $292,962, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $567,358, offset by operating costs of $171,946 and a provision for income taxes of $102,450.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On November 5, 2019, we consummated our IPO of 25,000,000 Units, which included the partial exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we consummated the sale of 665,500 Placement Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $6,650,000.

Following our IPO, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Placement Units, a total of $250,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $14,267,762 in transaction costs, including $4,400,000 of underwriting fees, $9,350,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $517,762 of other offering costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $804,080. Net income of $337,250 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,114,757 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which used $26,573 of cash from operating activities.

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash and marketable securities of $251,276,227 held in the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we withdrew approximately $406,000 of interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for our franchise and income

taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash of $1,179,883 outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete our initial business combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with our initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units identical to the Private Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender.

We do not currently believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Going Concern Consideration

As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $251.3 million held in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses).

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $10.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such working capital loans by our sponsor or its affiliates, or our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy continue to be impacted for an extended period, our results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, our ability to complete an initial business combination may be materially adversely affected due to significant governmental measures being implemented to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact, including travel restrictions, the shutdown of businesses and quarantines, among others, which may limit our ability to have meetings with potential investors or affect the ability of Katapult’s or any other potential target company’s personnel, vendors and service providers to negotiate and consummate an initial business

combination in a timely manner. Our ability to consummate an initial business combination may also be dependent on the ability to raise additional equity and debt financing, which may be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting market downturn.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after November 5, 2021.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In August 2019, our sponsor paid $25,000 in offering expenses on our behalf in exchange for the issuance of 5,750,000 Founder Shares. In October 2019, we effected a stock dividend for approximately 0.11 shares for each Class B Common Stock outstanding, resulting in our sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,325,000 Founder Shares (up to 825,000 shares of which were subject to forfeiture to the extent the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option in full).

The Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of our Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which FinServ completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all FinServ stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors with respect to any founder shares.

Private Placement Units

Simultaneously with the consummation of our IPO, we completed the sale of Private Placement Units to the Sponsor in a private placement, generating gross proceeds of $6.65 million. Each Private Placement Units contains one share of our Class A Common Stock and one half of one warrant. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Units was added to the proceeds from our IPO held in the Trust Account. If our initial business combination is not completed by November 5, 2021, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Units will not be subject to redemption.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On August 9, 2019, our sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to our IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing and was due upon the completion of our IPO. We borrowed $282,244 under the Note. The Note balance was paid in full at closing of our IPO on November 5, 2019.

Administrative Support Agreement

We agreed to pay $10,000 a month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support to our sponsor. Services commenced on the date the securities were first listed on the Nasdaq and will terminate upon the earlier of our initial business combination or our liquidation. We incurred $30,000 and $90,000 for expenses in connection with such services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, which is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policy:

Common Stock subject to possible redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity.

Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.

Net loss per common share

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net income less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support to the Company. We began incurring these fees on November 5, 2019 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and the Company’s liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.35 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 22,000,000 Units sold in our IPO, or $7,700,000, and (ii) $0.55 per Unit of the gross proceeds from the 3,000,000 Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $1,650,000, aggregating to a deferred fee of $9,350,000.

83

Table of Contents

We entered into a consulting agreement with a related party, pursuant to which the consultant will provide us, among other services, assistance in finding a potential target for a business combination, as well as supervising and performing due diligence on such targets. We will pay the consultant a fee of $10,000 per month, up to a maximum of $150,000. On May 15, 2020, we amended the consulting agreement whereby the monthly fee was reduced to $7,500, from June 1, 2020 through and including September 2020. The monthly fee reverted back to $10,000 per month on October 1, 2020.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) (a) December 31, 2024, or the last day of the fiscal year (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of September 30, 2020, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our IPO, the net proceeds received into the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

INFORMATION ABOUT KATAPULT

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Katapult and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the merger.

Company Overview

Katapult is a next-generation platform for digital and mobile-first commerce focused on the non-prime consumer. Katapult provides point-of-sale (POS) lease-purchase options for non-prime consumers, challenged with accessing traditional financing products needed to obtain everyday durable goods. The Company’s proprietary technology solution drives engagement with both Katapult’s network of merchants and the underserved non-prime U.S. consumer. Katapult’s solution solves critical consumer pain points by transforming the way non-prime consumers shop for durable goods. Merchants benefit from higher retail conversion and greater marketing spend efficiency by reaching this underserved segment.

Katapult is a business-to-business-to-consumer (“B2B2C”) platform, partnering with merchants and having direct relationships with consumers. The platform allows consumers a frustration-free checkout experience that is simple, easy and transparent. Consumers complete an easy application and Katapult’s fully automated approval process generates a decision in five seconds or less on average. The Company’s innovative lease-purchase option provides a pathway for consumers to gain access to the e-commerce durable goods they need from a growing community of quality retailers. Katapult empowers customers by providing flexibility in their lease-to-own arrangement. Customers can make payments on a weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly basis, and the Company offers transparent payment options, including allowing customers to continue making payments for their full term, exercising an early purchase option or returning items if they have life cycle events or decide their needs change. Katapult never charges late fees.

Katapult’s solution empowers merchants to more efficiently promote and move inventory. The Company’s innovative lease-purchase options allow merchants to reach a previously inaccessible customer, providing greater revenue opportunities. Katapult provides merchants with access to an expanded consumer segment, drives incremental sales and lowers customer acquisition cost. The Company’s approach adds value throughout the full customer life cycle, from acquisition, to conversion, to repeat transactions; in fact, the customer repeat transaction rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 45% and growing.

Katapult also has platform integrations with leading e-commerce platforms and prime lenders. Through e-commerce platform integrations with Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, and WooCommerce, among others, Katapult can complete initial integrations with merchants rapidly and with little effort. Katapult’s prime lender partnerships lead to higher approval rates for merchants, ensuring that consumers have options at the checkout and merchants make the most of every consumer site visit. This model allows the Company to scale rapidly by expanding merchant relationships and increasing customer loyalty by providing an easy, simple and transparent user experience.

Katapult’s technology-powered platform delivers attractive options to non-prime consumers in need of goods. Alternative payment options and traditional risk and credit underwriting models can be complicated, misleading and limiting to both consumers and merchants. In comparison, Katapult’s maximum cost-to-own can be significantly less than alternatives, that are not well-suited for e-commerce experiences, built on legacy infrastructure and lack transparency. In contrast, Katapult is e-commerce born and bred, offering a simple click-to-ship checkout and employing sophisticated underwriting models that accurately reflect the ability to pay of non-prime consumers.

Technology is at the core of everything Katapult does from simplifying the customer experience to driving repeat transactions. Katapult’s proprietary risk model translates to higher approval rates and higher contribution margin, with less than 3% fraud rate across the portfolio. Katapult defines fraud in this context as transactions in which customers initiate a lease to own transaction but make no subsequent payments after origination. The Company’s sophisticated machine learning models have been built on alternative data sets, including data from over 500,000 lease-to-own transactions and over five years of repayments. Furthermore, the platform’s risk management models are built to perform better as the Company grows, as additional data from new lease-purchase transactions is continuously incorporated into the platform’s algorithms and business practices, and as lease performance improves.

Table of Contents

Katapult has already achieved significant scale, but the Company is just getting started. As of September 30, 2020, Katapult has approved more than 1.4 million customers since inception and is growing rapidly. Approximately 45% of leases facilitated through the platform during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were with repeat consumers. Katapult’s net promoter score (NPS) of 47 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, exceeds those of many legacy financial institutions and reflects the company focus on treating customers with dignity, respect and support. NPS is a score that measures the likelihood of users to recommend a company’s products or services to others, and ranges from a low of negative 100 to high of positive 100, and benchmark scores can vary significantly by industry. A score greater than zero represents a company having more promoters than detractors.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, revenue was approximately $59 million and $174 million, respectively, representing period-over-period revenue growth of approximately 192%. The Company incurred a net loss of $16 million and generated net income of $19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Industry Background

Katapult’s innovative lease-purchase platform offers consumers an alternative to traditional financing of electronics, computers, home furnishings, appliances and other durable goods. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, approximately 38% of U.S. consumers have non-prime credit. Non-prime consumers typically do not have sufficient cash or credit to obtain these goods, and Katapult creates a pathway to elevate these consumers’ experiences.

Lease-to-own transaction

A lease-to-own transaction is a flexible alternative for consumers to obtain and enjoy brand name merchandise with no long-term obligation. Key features of Katapult’s lease-to-own transactions include:

• Access to high quality e-commerce retailers. Katapult is a transaction option at checkout for well-known e-commerce merchants such as Wayfair, Lenovo, Nectar, and Purple.

• Convenient payment options. Customers make payments on a weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly basis. Payments can be automatically charged to the customer’s authorized credit card, checking account or debit card. Additionally, customers may make additional payments and exercise cost-saving early payment options.

86

Table of Contents

• No long-term commitment. A Katapult customer has the flexibility of no long-term commitment and may return the item under the terms of the lease agreement if he or she does not exercise a purchase option or renew the lease.

Rapid growth of e-commerce durable goods

According to Canaccord Genuity, e-commerce durable goods spend is estimated at approximately $180 billion in 2020 and expected to grow to approximately $300 billion by 2023. We believe that this growth trend indicates that commerce is rapidly moving online, and that Gen Z and Millennials are moving away from brick and mortar retail in favor of the ease and flexibility offered by shopping online. E-commerce penetration as a percent of total commerce in the United States has risen from 16% in 2019 to 33% in 2020, according to McKinsey.

Rise of the digital native consumer

Digital native brands and online retailers rely on technology and data to attract new customers and drive incremental sales. Online and mobile-first e-commerce has given rise to the digital native consumer, who expects easy-to-use, self-checkout experiences delivered through mobile devices. We believe the growth in e-commerce proves that consumers increasingly desire to transact for durable goods through digital channels and are seeking digital and mobile-first payment options to support those transactions.

E-Commerce merchants face rising customer acquisition costs, and are seeking alternative solutions

To attract the digital native consumer and broaden customer bases, merchants have been forced to turn to increasingly costly discounts or promotional marketing channels, such as online and social media advertising. As a result, online merchants of all sizes are looking to alternative strategies to acquire, convert, and retain customers more efficiently and cost effectively.

Katapult’s Solution

Katapult is transforming the way non-prime consumers do business by providing a seamless, easy, and transparent application and checkout experience.

Consumer Features

• Lease-to-own of durable goods. Katapult empowers consumers with access to a path to ownership for high quality e-commerce retail goods they need.

• Simple process and efficient approval. Through an easy 3-step application process requiring basic information inputs and no credit check, consumers receive fully-automated approval in less than 5 seconds.

Table of Contents

• Flexible payment options. Customers have the option to lease to full term and then fully own their items. To lower the total cost, during the first 90 days customers have an option to buy out the lease for the cash price plus a 5% fee. A $45 fee is also charged in certain states. After 90 days, an early purchase option is available any time allowing customers to purchase the item for significantly less than the full-term cost-to-own. A Katapult customer has the flexibility of no long-term commitment and may return the item under the terms of the lease agreement if he or she does not exercise a purchase option or renew the lease.

Merchant Features

• Marketing capabilities. Katapult enables merchants to offer non-prime consumers an attractive option, coupled with tools and digital resources to attract, identify and educate consumers on the Katapult option for paying over time.

• Analytics. Katapult provides merchants with insightful analytics that help them understand performance and activity associated with non-prime applications. The platform also highlights other key insights into customers’ shopping habits to help merchants optimize customer conversion and customer acquisition costs.

• Client success support. Katapult’s high-touch client success team partners with merchants to analyze and interpret the insights delivered through the merchant dashboard. Katapult’s team conducts in-depth user experience analyses of merchant online storefronts, providing custom recommendations for the ideal mix and display of Katapult product offerings to present to customers in order to optimize average order values and conversion rates.

• Simple integration and highly customizable solution. Katapult’s off-the-shelf, custom integration options provide flexibility and seamlessness to merchants seeking efficient and effective rollouts of digital POS solutions.

• Developer documentation. Katapult’s developer portal contains extensive and engaging developer documentation that makes it easy for any developer to integrate via turnkey solutions, custom APIs, hosted programs, or other integrations, and maximize the benefit of all that Katapult offers both merchants and consumers.

Merchants realize the following benefits:

• More customers. Merchants add incremental customers from the non-prime segment who otherwise might not be shopping on their site.

• Better conversion. Merchants experience increased customer conversion when they offer Katapult as customers have an attractive financing solution.

• High rate of repeat customers. Katapult’s easy-to-use platform has generated a loyal following of repeat consumers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Katapult’s repeat customer rate was 45%.

• Broader target market Katapult enables merchants to achieve incremental sales and expand their target market by creating lease-purchase opportunities for non-prime consumers.

• Ease of integration Katapult’s direct application programming interface, or API, allows for fast integration with minimal investment. Merchants can easily connect the platform to online shopping cart, and Katapult provides a dedicated integration team to ensure efficient rollouts.

Katapult currently has over 150 total merchants on the platform. Among e-commerce and prime lender partners, Katapult currently has low single digit penetration, which provides significant embedded upside potential.

Approach to fraud management

Katapult uses a complex set of proprietary approval and existing customer modeling to achieve low levels of fraud and high payment performance, thereby protecting consumers, merchants, and the Company. Katapult has less than 3% fraud rates across the portfolio. Katapult defines fraud in this context as transactions in which customers initiate a lease to own transaction but make no subsequent payments after origination. The platform checks approximately 100 transaction attributes and up to 2,000 data points in aggregate across the fraud detection and risk models, from a minimum of seven user inputs consumers provide and data acquired from other sources.

Katapult’s fraud management platform continuously learns and improves. The platform has 5+ years of transaction history on over 500,000 lease-to-own transactions. As additional data from new transactions is continuously incorporated into the algorithms and business practices, lease performance improves, driving down fraud and charge-off rates.

Developer-first approach to integration

Katapult’s platform is easy and seamless to integrate regardless of integration method:

• Platform plug-in: The Katapult API is fast and easy to integrate with a number of high traffic e-commerce platforms, including Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce and BigCommerce. Integrations with these platforms allow merchants to offer Katapult as an option at checkout, process Katapult charges in their order management system, and gain access to the platform’s analytics software — all without sacrificing control over customer experience.

• Direct API: The Katapult API enables merchants to fully control the placement and experience of Katapult’s offering, leading to the seamless integration of Katapult’s purchase option into the merchant’s existing infrastructure.

• Credit waterfall partnerships: A waterfall is where the application will flow from the prime lender to other financing and lease-purchase options automatically; this gives the consumer the best option for their situation. Katapult’s technology supports a sophisticated integration with these partners and ensures a smooth and frictionless customer experience during application and checkout.

Katapult’s Competitive Advantages

Native e-commerce solution

From inception, Katapult was born and bred to be an e-commerce solution for consumers and is currently the only non-prime consumer POS lease-purchase platform focused on e-commerce. The Company offers a fully digital, seamless and differentiated platform driven by proprietary technology and risk models that have been developed over several years of refinement and data collection. Furthermore, we believe the platform offers industry leading flexibility, customization and scalability.

Technology, engineering talent and product architecture

Katapult’s proprietary technology platform is essential to the Company’s core operations. The Company utilizes modern cutting-edge technology including sophisticated behavioral machine learning models and cloud-based computing to offer a seamless digital consumer experience on the front end as well as a constantly evolving real time decision engine on the back end. In order to build these proprietary, innovative and secure products, Katapult places a significant emphasis on identifying and employing talented and driven technology-focused professionals and engineers. This is highlighted by the fact that as of September 30, 2020, approximately 60% of salaried employees were in product, data analytics and technology-related roles.

Data driven

In conjunction with the proprietary technology platform Katapult has built, secure data collection, accumulation and analysis provides the Company with meaningful insights that allow the business to perform better. As additional data from new transactions is continuously incorporated into the risk assessment models, algorithms and business practices the lease performance improves over time. This allows Katapult to further mitigate repayment and fraud risk resulting in higher approval rates and contribution margin. Additionally, Katapult leverages customer preference and activity data to identify opportunities for repeat business, new customer offerings and general performance enhancements.

Proprietary risk assessment models

Katapult’s proprietary, end-to-end technology platform is custom built for the volume and data-intensity of e-commerce. Katapult’s highly predictive proprietary score outperforms the industry in fraud detection and false positive rates. The system is non-FICO based, relying on internally developed scoring and analytics to identify the right customers for the lease-purchase offering. Behavioral learning-based risk models are custom built to effectively price risk and provide customized recommendations. The platform considers data beyond traditional credit scores, such as lease history, behavioral biometrics and mobile device information to predict repayment ability, and leverages this with real-time response data.

Katapult’s risk models and highly predictive proprietary scores outperform standard industry sources and our potential competitors. Katapult’s sophisticated behavioral learning mitigates credit and fraud risks. The Company has less than 3% fraud rates across the portfolio and has strong repayment and collections performance. Katapult defines fraud in this context as transactions in which customers initiate a lease to own transaction but make no subsequent payments after origination.

Katapult made substantial investments in underwriting technology and analytics platforms to support rapid scaling, innovation and regulatory compliance. Data scientists and risk analysts use the risk infrastructure to build and test strategies across the entire underwriting process, using alternative credit data, device authentication, identity verification, and many more data elements. Katapult’s real-time proprietary technology and risk analytics platform is unique among competitors in successfully underwriting non-prime online consumers. In addition, all applications are processed instantly with approvals and spending limits provided within seconds of submission.

Lean and scalable model

Compared to brick-and-mortar non-prime options, which are suffering from the same headwinds as traditional retail stores, Katapult has been successful in addressing the non-prime consumer through POS solutions on e-commerce merchant websites.

We believe Katapult’s model is more efficient and scalable for the following reasons:

• As sales grow, Katapult achieves more operating leverage. The Company’s model is primarily driven by a technology platform that does not require significant increases in operating overhead to support sales growth.

• Katapult serves lease-to-own consumers across the United States without brick-and-mortar stores. The Company does not have any of the costs associated with physical stores and the personnel needed to operate them.

• Katapult has no inventory risk and offers a completely drop-ship option. The Company does not have any of the costs associated with buying, storing and shipping inventory. Instead, goods are shipped directly to consumers.

Katapult’s Growth Strategies

Katapult has several strong levers for growth beginning with a substantial opportunity to increase market share of the e-commerce durable goods market. Katapult currently captures less than 1% of the 2020 durable goods e-commerce market.

We believe Katapult will continue to significantly benefit from increasing e-commerce adoption, deepening relationships with existing merchants, and further partner platform penetration. New merchants and partner POS integrations, as well as product enhancements and new product diversification also represent meaningful growth drivers. Additionally, Katapult can offer data analytics services to merchants and partners, as well as develop merchant co-marketing initiatives and dynamic consumer scoring models to further drive growth.

Katapult’s multi-pronged growth strategy is designed to continue to build upon the momentum generated so far in order to create opportunities that drive even greater value for consumers and merchants. Near-term areas of focus include expanding to higher frequency purchases, expanding customer reach, and expanding merchant reach.

Significant levers for continued organic growth

• Continued durable goods e-commerce adoption. U.S. e-commerce durable goods spend is estimated at approximately $180 billion in 2020 and expected to grow to approximately $300 billion by 2023. We estimate the e-commerce durable goods market opportunity targeting an underserved population at $40 – $50 billion based on 38% of U.S. consumers being underserved by prime credit products. We believe Katapult is well-positioned to address this market as more consumers and merchants transact on the platform. We believe Katapult is the only non-prime consumer POS lease-purchase platform primarily focused on e-commerce in the U.S.

• Deepen relationships with existing merchants. Today, Katapult transactions represent a small percentage of the average transaction volume for merchants on the platform. As more consumers become aware of the ease and transparency of using Katapult and as the Company proactively builds relationships with merchants through dedicated sales and customer success teams, we believe Katapult can significantly increase share of existing merchants’ overall transaction volumes.

91

Table of Contents

• Further platform partner penetration. Katapult has identified thousands of eligible merchants offering durable goods that could benefit from access to the Katapult platform. Katapult plans to pursue business relationships with eligible merchants on these platforms, as well as identify and integrate its platform into new or emerging systems to attract additional merchant communities.

• New merchant and partner POS integrations. Katapult has the opportunity to significantly increase the number of integrated merchants on the network through its dedicated sales team. Katapult’s differentiated technology, integration capabilities, and focus on customer experience wins merchants seeking greater access to non-prime consumers.

• Product enhancements and new product diversification. As Katapult continues to help merchants increase conversion rates, repeat purchase rates and customer satisfaction, the Company plans to enhance its current product offering and diversify with new product development.

Expand to higher frequency purchases

Katapult has successfully demonstrated how its solutions can enable and accelerate commerce for larger purchases. A key principle of the next phase of growth is expanding into higher frequency purchases, which will position Katapult to increase engagement with consumers and merchants. We believe this will lead to increased transaction volume on the platform, as well as the expansion of the consumer and merchant network.

Expand consumer reach

• Add more consumers to the network. As more consumers join the network, Katapult’s risk models become even more efficient and robust, allowing the Company to reach more non-prime consumers reliably. Merchant co-marketing initiatives will aim to attract new consumers to try lease-to-own as a payment option.

• Drive repeat use. Katapult aims to continue driving repeat use of its platform by treating customers with respect, identifying consumer needs, focusing on customer satisfaction and delivering advanced data analytics to merchants.

• Innovate on new product solutions. The Company is still at the beginning stages of future product roadmaps and is focused on continuing to innovate and bring new financial partnerships and products to market for non-prime consumers.

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION OF KATAPULT

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for Katapult’s named executive officers who are identified in the 2020 Summary Compensation Table below. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are based on Katapult’s current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that New Katapult adopts following the completion of the merger may differ materially from the existing and currently planned programs summarized or referred to in this discussion.

Overview

We have opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to emerging growth companies, as FinServ is an emerging growth company. The scaled down disclosure rules are those applicable to “smaller reporting companies,” as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act, which require compensation disclosure for Katapult’s principal executive officer and its two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer whose total compensation for 2020 exceeded $100,000 and who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2020. We refer to these individuals as “named executive officers.” For 2020, Katapult’s named executive officers were:

• Orlando Zayas, Chief Executive Officer

• Karissa Cupito, Chief Financial Officer

• Derek Medlin, Chief Operating Officer

We expect that New Katapult’s executive compensation program will evolve to reflect its status as a newly publicly-traded company, while still supporting New Katapult’s overall business and compensation objectives. In connection with the merger, Katapult expects to engage an independent executive compensation consultant to help advise on the post-merger executive compensation program.

2020 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 2020 Summary Compensation Table for the base salary amounts received by the named executive officers in 2020.

Bonuses

Historically, cash bonuses have been provided on a discretionary basis pursuant to each named executive officer’s employment agreement. Bonus compensation is designed to hold executives accountable, reward the executives based on actual business results and help create a “pay for performance” culture. See the “Bonus” column in the 2020 Summary Compensation Table for the bonus amounts received by the named executive officers in 2020.

Equity Awards

To further focus Katapult’s named executive officers on Katapult’s long-term performance, Katapult has granted equity compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock awards pursuant to the Katapult Holdings, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, or the Katapult Plan.

Katapult did not grant any option awards to its named executive officers in 2020.

In 2020, Katapult granted its named executive officers a total of 17,500,000 restricted shares of Katapult’s common stock. Such shares vest only upon a Liquidation Event, which is generally defined as any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Katapult (including a consolidation, stock exchange, or merger with another company), a business combination transaction between Katapult and a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, for the

93

Table of Contents

purpose of taking Katapult public, or an initial public offering. The number of shares that vest will depend upon the achieved liquidation price per common share (or, in the case of an initial public offering, the per common share offering price) and is contingent upon the recipient’s continuous employment with Katapult through such liquidation event. In connection with the closing of the merger, Katapult expects 15% of such shares to vest.

Perquisites

Katapult maintains a 401(k) plan for our employees, including our executive officers, to encourage our employees to save some portion of their cash compensation for their eventual retirement. Pursuant to a discretionary employer match, during 2020, we matched all employee contributions at 100% of the employee’s contribution up to a limit of 5% of the employee’s eligible compensation up to the IRS imposed limit.

Katapult’s chief executive officer has also received reimbursement or payment on their behalf for rent on an apartment in New York City.

Katapult Holdings, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan

Katapult maintains the Katapult Holdings, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, or the Katapult Plan. The Katapult Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards and unrestricted stock awards. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of Katapult and its parent and subsidiaries. All other awards may be granted to Katapult’s directors and employees and consultants of Katapult and Katapult’s affiliates with respect to services provided to Katapult.

Administration. Katapult’s board of directors or a committee delegated by the board of directors administers the Katapult Plan. Subject to the terms of the Katapult Plan, the administrator has the power to, among other things, select participants from among eligible employees, consultants and non-employee directors, determine the awards to be made pursuant to the Katapult Plan, determine the number of shares subject to each award, impose limitations on awards, determine and modify from time to time the terms and conditions of awards in a manner consistent with the Katapult Plan, accelerate the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any awards, interpret the terms and conditions of the Katapult Plan and any award agreement, and make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Katapult Plan.

Options. Katapult’s employees and service providers have historically received incentive stock options pursuant to the Katapult Plan. The exercise price per share of incentive stock options granted under the Katapult Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value per share of Katapult’s common stock on the grant date; provided that the exercise price for an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or more holder of Katapult’s common stock will be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share of Katapult’s common stock on the grant date. Nonqualified stock options may be granted with a per share exercise price that is less than 100% of the per share fair market value of Katapult’s common stock. The aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options may be exercisable for the first time by an option holder in any calendar year, under the Katapult Plan or otherwise, may not exceed $100,000 (or such higher amount as permitted under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code). Subject to the provisions of the Katapult Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of options, including exercise prices, any vesting and exercisability requirements, the method of payment of the option exercise price, the option expiration date (which may be no more than 10 years from the date of grant, or 5 years for an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or more holder of Katapult’s common stock), and the period following termination of service during which options may remain exercisable.

Stock Awards. The administrator may, from time to time, grant to eligible individuals awards of restricted stock or unrestricted stock, collectively, Stock Awards. For the purposes of the Katapult Plan, “Restricted Stock” means an award of shares of common stock pursuant to which Katapult may, in its sole discretion, grant or sell, at such purchase price as determined by the administrator, in its sole discretion, shares subject to such restrictions and conditions as the administrator may determine at the time of grant, which purchase price shall be payable in cash or other form of consideration acceptable to the administrator. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. A grantee of Restricted Stock shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Stock, subject to such conditions contained in the written instrument evidencing the grant. The administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which Restricted Stock shall become vested, subject to such further rights of Katapult or its assigns as may be specified in the instrument evidencing the grant.

“Unrestricted Stock” may be granted or sold (at par value or such higher purchase price determined by the administrator) in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of any cash compensation due to such individual or entity. Upon the request of a grantee and with the consent of the administrator, each such grantee may, pursuant to an advance written election delivered to Katapult no later than the date specified by the administrator, receive a portion of the cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of shares of Unrestricted Stock.

Capital Adjustments. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, split-up or other similar change in Katapult’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Katapult’s stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of Katapult or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Katapult, the outstanding shares of Katapult stock are converted into or exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of Katapult or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), Katapult will make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Katapult Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding awards under the Katapult Plan, (iii) the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding award, if any, and (iv) the exercise price and/or exchange price for each share subject to any then outstanding stock options under the Katapult Plan, in each case, in a manner in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

Treatment Upon Sale Event. In the event of a Sale Event, as defined in the Katapult Plan, the administrator shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the vesting with respect to any or all outstanding options. Upon the consummation of a Sale Event, the Katapult Plan and all options issued thereunder (both vested and unvested) shall terminate upon the effective time of any such Sale Event unless provision is made in connection with the Sale Event in the sole discretion of the parties thereto for the assumption or continuation of options theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such options with new options of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares underlying the options and, if appropriate, the exercise prices, as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder). Notwithstanding the above, in the event of a Sale Event pursuant to which holders of the Katapult common stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Sale Event will receive upon consummation thereof, a cash payment for each share surrendered in the Sale Event, Katapult shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the grantees holding vested options (including options (if any) that vest as a result of such Sale Event) in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the value, as determined by the administrator, of the consideration payable per share pursuant to the Sale Event (the “Sale Price”) times the number of shares subject to outstanding vested options (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding vested options.

Unless otherwise provided for in the Katapult Plan or in an award agreement, any shares of unrestricted stock granted under the Katapult Plan shall be treated in a Sale Event the same as all other shares then outstanding.

Plan Amendment or Termination. Katapult’s board of directors may amend or discontinue the Katapult Plan and the committee may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding award in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of the Katapult Plan, provided that no such action adversely affects the rights under any outstanding award without the holder’s consent. In addition, to the extent determined by the committee to be required by the Code to ensure that incentive stock options granted under the Katapult Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code, amendments to the plan are subject to the approval by Katapult’s stockholders who are entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders.

The Katapult Plan shall remain in effect until June 5, 2024, unless otherwise earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the plan. The Katapult Plan and all awards and actions taken thereunder are governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. Any disputes arising under the Katapult Plan or any award made thereunder are subject to binding arbitration divisions as set forth in the Katapult Plan.

KATAPULT’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Katapult” refer to Katapult Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the merger.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Information of Katapult” section of this prospectus and our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements; Market, Ranking and Other Industry Data” and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

All dollar amounts in this section are in thousands, unless otherwise specified.

Overview

Katapult is an e-commerce focused financial technology company offering e-commerce point-of-sale (“POS”) lease-purchase options for nonprime U.S. consumers. Katapult’s fully-digital, next-generation technology platform provides nonprime consumers with a flexible lease purchase option to enable them to obtain durable goods from Katapult’s network of e-commerce retailers. The Company’s sophisticated end-to-end technology platform provides seamless integration with merchants, underwriting capabilities that exceed those of commonly available services, and exceptional customer experiences. See the section titled “Information about Katapult” beginning on page 85 of this document for further details on our business.

Key events impacting our business are as follows:

• COVID-19 — In March 2020, The World Health Organization recognized a global pandemic known as the coronavirus or COVID-19. Due to the economic uncertainty that this has and can continue to cause, there is an added risk factor in the overall future outlook of the Company. While the pandemic and related effect on the global economy have not materially impacted the Company or its financial position, the Company has implemented cost containment and cash management initiatives to mitigate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and liquidity. The full extent of any impact cannot be determined at this time. Management will continue to monitor any changes to the business as the pandemic continues throughout 2021.

• Pending Business Combination — On December 18, 2020, Katapult announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with FinServ Acquisition Corp., a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, FinServ will merge with Katapult at an estimated combined enterprise value of approximately $1 billion and equity value of $962 million. Total consideration paid to Katapult’s existing shareholders will be $833 million. Cash proceeds from the transaction will fund up to $325 million of cash consideration to Katapult’s existing shareholders and $50 million of cash to Katapult’s balance sheet. The cash components of the transaction will be funded by FinServ’s cash in trust of $250 million (assuming no redemptions) as well as a $150 million private placement of common stock at $10 per share from various institutional investors. The balance of the consideration to Katapult’s equity holders will consist of equity in the Company. Existing Katapult equity holders will have the potential to receive an earn-out for additional shares of equity if certain price targets are met as set forth in the definitive merger agreement. The transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2021 and remains subject to customary closing conditions.

Key Performance Metrics

We regularly review several metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions, which may also be useful to an investor.

Table of Contents

Originations

We measure originations to assess the growth trajectory and overall size of our lease portfolio. There is a direct correlation between origination growth and revenue growth. We define originations as the acquisition value of the durable goods associated with lease-purchase agreements entered into during the period, and we define cumulative originations as the aggregate amount of originations at a point in time. Originations may be useful to an investor because it helps understand the growth trajectory of revenues. The following table presents originations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, as well as the Company’s lifetime cumulative originations as of each respective date.

Total Revenue, Unearned Revenue, and Bad Debt Recoveries

Total revenue represents the summation of rental revenue, other revenue, and service fees. Unearned revenue represents the Company’s liability for cash received from customers prior to the related revenue being earned, and bad debt recoveries represent customer payments for receivables that had previously been written off. Bad debt recoveries represent a reduction to bad debt expense in the period in which they are collected. We measure these metrics to assess the total view of paythrough performance of our customers. We believe looking at these components of our financial statements is useful to an investor as it helps understand the total payment performance of customers.

The following table presents total revenue and bad debt recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, as well as unearned revenue as of September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Rental revenue

Rental revenue consists of revenue earned from property held for lease, customer purchases of leased property, and agreed-upon charges related to lease-purchase agreements. Rental revenue increased by $114,971, or 195.9%, to $173,652 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from $58,681 for the same period in 2019. This was primarily due to the Company’s addition of Wayfair as a retail partner, which accounted for 73% of origination dollars for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, versus 49% for the same period in 2019. Rental revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased to 99.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 98.7% for the same period in 2019.

Rental revenue increased by $48,870, or 116.0%, to $90,996 for the year ended December 31, 2019, from $42,126 for 2018. This was primarily due to the Company’s efforts to grow revenue sources from e-commerce partners, including Wayfair. Rental revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased to 99.0% in 2019 compared to 97.6% in 2018.

Other revenue

Other revenue consists of sub-lease revenue in 2018 and 2019, and revenue from merchant partnerships. Other revenue decreased by $234, or 66.7%, to $117 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from $351 for the same period in 2019 due to our sub-lease arrangement ending in July 2019. Other revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 0.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 0.6% for the same period in 2019.

Other revenue increased by $78, or 26.9%, to $368 for the year ended December 31, 2019, from $290 for 2018. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenue from merchant partnerships. Other revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased to 0.4% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 0.7% in 2018.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to gross profit and net income (loss), which are measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management believes that adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information which is widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry in assessing performance. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of Katapult’s performance that are neither required by nor presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as substitutes for U.S. GAAP metrics such as gross profit, operating income (loss), net income (loss), or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Adjusted gross profit represents gross profit less variable operating expenses, which are servicing costs, underwriting fees, and bad debt expense. We believe that adjusted gross profit provides a meaningful understanding of one aspect of our performance specifically attributable to total revenue and the variable costs associated with total revenue. We believe that adjusted gross profit is useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because this measure is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings (loss) before interest expense and other fees, taxes, depreciation and amortization on fixed assets, stock-based compensation, impairment on leased assets, legal fees associated with investor transactions, loss on extinguishment of debt, and employee recruiting costs. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is a metric that provides additional insight into the quality of our earnings (loss).

Adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA are useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because these measures:

• Are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance;

• Are financial measurements that are used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our credit worthiness; and

• Are used by our management for various purposes, including as measures of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, the funds received from previous common stock and preferred stock equity financings, as well as the Company’s ability to obtain lending commitments, have provided the liquidity necessary for the Company to fund its operations. The additional financing, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, would provide additional equity capital and liquidity. If the Company is unable to generate positive operating cash flows, additional debt and equity financings may be necessary to sustain future operations.

Since 2018, the Company’s liquidity profile has improved each period due to increased earnings, increased liquidity from debt providers and decreased cost of debt as our credit profile has improved.

The note was secured by all assets of the Company and subsidiaries. The annual interest rate on the principal was the greater of 18% or the sum of 17% plus the greater of 1% or the three-month average LIBOR rate. This facility was also subject to certain debt covenants as set forth in the loan agreement, which consist of maintaining lease performance metrics, financial ratios related to operating results, and lease delinquency ratios. The outstanding line of credit including unpaid principal and interest was due in November 2018 to the lender, but was extended to May 2019, unless there was an earlier event of default such as bankruptcy, default on interest payments, or a change of control. This line of credit was repaid in May 2019.

• During 2017, the Company obtained a second non-revolving line of credit facility with a lender holding shares of preferred stock, in which it may borrow a maximum of $6,000, which was raised to $6,800 in 2018, subject to certain covenants and a 35% advance rate on eligible accounts receivable. In 2019, the maximum balance was raised to $16,000. At December 31, 2018, the total outstanding on this facility was $6,800. At December 31, 2019, the total outstanding on this facility was $16,000 less issuance

costs of $197, netting to a total of $15,803. The issuance costs are amortized throughout the life of the loan through interest expense. The note was secured by all assets of the Company. The annual interest rate on the principal was 25% through August 2020. Beginning in September 2020, the annual interest rate stepped down to 19%. This facility was also subject to certain debt covenants as set forth in the loan agreement, which consisted of maintaining lease performance metrics, financial ratios related to operating results, and lease delinquency ratios. The outstanding line of credit including unpaid principal and interest was repaid in December 2020.

• During 2019, the Company refinanced the first revolving line of credit facility which resulted in a maximum of $50,000 for the initial commitment, with the lender having the right to increase to a maximum of $150,000 over time. The Company drew down the $50,000 facility upon the date of the refinancing. This is subject to certain covenants and an 85% advance rate on eligible accounts receivable. At December 31, 2019, the total outstanding on this line of credit was $40,280 less issuance costs of $582, netting to a total of $39,698. The issuance costs are amortized over the life of the loan through interest expense. The note is secured by all assets of the Company. The annual interest rate on the principal was the one month LIBOR Rate plus 11% per annum through July 2020. Beginning in August 2020, the interest rate stepped down to one month LIBOR plus 7.5% per annum. This facility is also subject to certain debt covenants as set forth in the loan agreement, which consist of maintaining lease performance metrics, financial ratios related to operating results, and lease delinquency ratios. The outstanding line of credit, including unpaid principal and interest, is due December 4, 2023 unless there is an earlier event of default such as bankruptcy, default on interest payments, or a change of control (excluding an acquisition by a Special Purpose Acquisition Company), at which point the facility may become due earlier. On September 28, 2020, the maximum commitment was increased to a total of $125,000.

• On December 4, 2020, the Company entered into the ninth amendment to its first revolving line of credit facility. This amendment provided the lenders with the right to increase the revolving commitment amount from $125,000 to $250,000. This right has not yet been exercised by the lender as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The amendment also provided the Company with a senior secured term loan facility commitment of up to $50,000. The Company drew down the full $50,000 of this term loan on December 4, 2020. In conjunction with the amended loan and security agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 4,988,719 Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

Long Term Debt

• In September 2018, the Company obtained a bridge loan from a related party lender for $5,500. In November 2018, the Company amended this loan, which resulted in the Company increasing the principal amount by $2,000 for a total of $7,500. At December 31, 2018, the total outstanding balance on this loan was carried at $7,476, which is offset by issuance costs totaling $796, netting to a total of $6,680. At December 31, 2019, the total outstanding balance on this loan was carried at $7,492, which is offset by issuance costs totaling $298, netting to a total of $7,195. In May 2019, the Company amended the outstanding long-term debt of $7,500 which extended the maturity date from September 13, 2019 to December 31, 2021. The loan was repaid in December 2020.

Convertible Notes

• As a condition of the Company’s $5,500 bridge loan, the lender required the loan to be guaranteed by current investors in the Company. In exchange for this guarantee, the Company issued $1,650 of convertible notes, which had a pricing feature to convert at a 20% discount to the share price of the next round of equity financing. In conjunction with the Company’s amendment of its $5,500 bridge loan (to increase the principal amount by $2,000), the Company issued an additional $600 of convertible notes with the same features mentioned above.

• In February and March 2019, the Company issued an additional $2,500 in convertible notes for cash consideration. These convertible notes had stock warrants attached. Additional details pertaining to the stock warrants can be found in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Table of Contents

• In April 2019, all of the Company’s convertible notes converted to 17,061,472 shares of Preferred Stock Series C shares at a price of $0.3553 less 20%. This conversion event qualified as a non-qualified financing feature per the executed agreements. In conjunction with this event, the Company also recapitalized all preferred share classes into Series C preferred stock.

Equity

• During 2019, the Company converted all outstanding Series A, Series A-1, Series A-2, Series B, Series B-1, and Series B-2 shares to Series C shares by issuing on a 1:1 ratio 24,773,767 Series C Preferred Shares. Additionally, the Company issued 17,061,472 Series C Preferred Shares valued at $6,062 to execute the conversion feature of the outstanding convertible notes. Furthermore, the Company raised additional equity of $9,506 by issuing 26,754,674 of Series C Preferred Shares.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. We evaluate our significant estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, impacting our reported results of operations and financial condition.

We believe that the accounting policies described below involve a significant degree of judgment and complexity, and have the greatest potential effect on our consolidated statements. Accordingly, we believe these are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. For further information, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Rental Revenue Recognition

Property held for lease is leased to customers pursuant to lease purchase agreements which provide for weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly lease terms with non-refundable lease payments. Generally, the customer has the right to acquire title and ownership either through a 90-day purchase option, an early purchase option available prior to completion of the full agreement, or by completing all required lease payments, generally 12 to 18 months, for ownership. On any current lease, customers have the option to cancel the agreement at any time without penalty in accordance with lease-purchase agreement terms and return the property subject to lease. Accordingly, customer agreements are accounted for as operating leases with lease revenues recognized in the month they are earned based on the accrual basis of accounting. Amounts received from the sale of leased property on which customers elect purchase options are included in rental revenue, when earned. Lease payments received prior to their due dates are deferred and recorded as unearned revenue and are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Revenues from leases and sales are reported net of sales taxes.

There are uncertainties involved with applying rental revenue recognition due to the non-prime nature of our consumers, and the conclusions about likelihood to pay after a customer goes delinquent.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and records compensation expense related to stock-based awards based on the fair value of those awards as determined on the date of the grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grant, generally equal to the vesting period and uses the straight-line method to recognize stock-based compensation. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires estimates of highly subjective assumptions, such as expected term, common share price, and volatility, which affect the fair value of each stock option. Forfeitures are accounted for as they are incurred. See Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 for further details on the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model.

There are uncertainties involved when recognizing stock-based compensation expense due to the lack of publicly available share price and volatility data for the Company’s common stock. Our valuation utilizes peer company volatility data as well as internally developed valuation models for the common share price which could vary from actual market results.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on all available positive and negative evidence. The determination of whether a deferred tax asset will be realizable is a highly subjective decision based upon estimated future taxable income, and could vary from actual results. The Company recognizes a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the local taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the related tax authority. The changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes.

Property Held for Lease, Net

Property held for lease consists of furniture, consumer electronics, appliances, and other durable goods offered for lease-purchase in the normal course of business. Such property is provided to consumers pursuant to a lease-purchase agreement with a minimum term; typically one week, two weeks, or one month. The contemplated length of the agreement is typically 12 or 18 months. Consumers may terminate a lease agreement at any time without penalty by returning the property. The average consumer continues to lease the property for 7 months because the consumer either exercises the buyout options or returns the items prior to the end of the 12 or 18 month lease term. As a result, property held for lease is classified as a current asset on the consolidated balance sheets.

Property held for lease is carried at net book value. Depreciation for property held for lease is generally provided using the income forecasting method and is included within cost of revenue. Under the income forecasting method, property held for lease is depreciated in the proportion of rents received to total expected rents received based on historical data, which is an activity-based method similar to the units of production method. The Company provides for impairment for the undepreciated balance of the property held for lease assuming no salvage value with a corresponding charge to cost of revenue. Impairment expense includes expense related to property identified as impaired based on historical data, including default trends, such that the recorded amount closely approximates actual impairment expense incurred during the period. The Company derecognizes the undepreciated net book value of property buyouts as buyouts occur with a corresponding charge to cost of revenue. The Company periodically evaluates fully depreciated property held for lease, net. When it is determined there is no future economic benefit, the related assets and accumulated depreciation are written-off.

There are uncertainties involved when recognizing expenses related to property held for lease due to the subjective nature of the income forecasting method and estimated salvage value, which could vary from actual results.

Material Agreements

Wayfair

The Company is party to a provider agreement with Wayfair Inc. dated November 24, 2020, whereby we provide Wayfair customers with lease-purchase options for certain Wayfair products directly on Wayfair’s customer website. We originated approximately 58% of our origination dollars for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019

Table of Contents

and 73% of our origination dollars for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 through the Wayfair provider agreement. The Company originally entered into a retailer agreement with Wayfair in September 2018, which was superseded by the Wayfair provider agreement. The Wayfair provider agreement continue s for successive two-year terms until terminated by either party. The agreement may be terminated at any time and for any reason provided that the terminating party provides written notice sixty days prior to the date of termination. Our provider agreement with Wayfair does not prohibit Wayfair from offering competing options from our competitors. Our provider agreement with Wayfair allows us to benefit from Wayfair’s product offering and market ourselves to a larger audience of consumers who may seek alternative payment options.

Emerging Growth Company

FinServ Acquisition Corp. is an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies, allowing them to delay the adoption of those standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. FinServ Acquisition Corp. has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. As a result, following the merger, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies, which may make common stock less attractive to investors.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, and inflation, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources, hazard events, and specific asset risks.

Interest Rate Risk

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and our financial position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we have interest bearing debt with a principal amount of $98 million and $64 million respectively.

Our revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2020 is a variable rate loan that accrues interest at a variable rate of interest based on the one month LIBOR rate, subject to a 2% floor, plus 7.5% per annum. As of September 30, 2020, the calculated interest rate is 9.5%.

A one percent (1%) increase subject to the floor in interest rates in our variable rate indebtedness would result in approximately $744,000 in additional annual interest expense.

Inflation Risk

Katapult does not believe that inflation has had, or currently has, a material effect on its business.

Foreign Currency Risk

There was no material foreign currency risk for nine-months ended September 30, 2020 and the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Katapult’s activities to date have been limited and were conducted in the United States.

He is a Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Tribeca Venture Partners, or TVP, which he formed in 2011, where his investment interests include entrepreneurial startups and high growth companies in numerous sectors, including marketplaces, fintech, SaaS, edtech and consumer related businesses.

In total, Mr. Hirsch has been a venture capitalist and early stage tech investor for over twenty-three years. He currently serves on the board of directors of numerous private technology companies. Mr. Hirsch holds a B.A. in economics and American studies from Brandeis University. We believe that Mr. Hirsch is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to his experience providing guidance and counsel to, including serving on the boards of directors of, a wide variety of companies across different sectors, as well as his experience as a venture capitalist.

Corporate Governance

We will structure our corporate governance in a manner Katapult and FinServ believe will closely align our interests with those of our stockholders following the merger. Notable features of this corporate governance include:

• we will have independent director representation on our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees immediately at the time of merger, and our independent directors will meet regularly in executive sessions without the presence of our corporate officers or non-independent directors;

• at least one of our directors will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC; and

• we will implement a range of other corporate governance best practices, including placing limits on the number of directorships held by its directors to prevent “overboarding” and implementing a robust director education program.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight

The board of directors has extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to us and our business and accomplishes this oversight through the regular reporting to the board of directors by the audit committee. The audit committee represents the board of directors by periodically reviewing our accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of our financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, internal audit and information technology functions, the

121

Table of Contents

audit committee reviews and discusses all significant areas of our business and summarizes for the board of directors all areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors. In addition, our board of directors receives periodic detailed operating performance reviews from management.

Composition of the New Katapult Board of Directors After the Merger

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. In connection with the merger, we will amend and restate FinServ’s existing charter to provide for a classified board of directors, with two (2) directors in Class I, two (2) directors in Class II and three (3) directors in Class III. See “Description of New Katapult Capital Stock — Anti-Takeover Effects of New Katapult’s Proposed Charter and Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law — Classified Board of Directors.”

Board Committees

After the completion of the merger, the standing committees of our board of directors will consist of an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors may from time to time establish other committees.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers will regularly report to the non-executive directors and the audit, the compensation and the nominating and corporate governance committees to ensure effective and efficient oversight of our activities and to assist in proper risk management and the ongoing evaluation of management controls.

Audit Committee

Upon the completion of the merger, we expect to have an audit committee. Each proposed member of the audit committee will qualify as an independent director under the Nasdaq corporate governance standards and the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Following the merger, our board of directors will determine which member of our audit committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and possesses financial sophistication, as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq.

The purpose of the audit committee will be to prepare the audit committee report required by the SEC to be included in our proxy statement and to assist our board of directors in overseeing and monitoring (1) the quality and integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, (4) the performance of our internal audit function and (5) the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the audit committee which will be available on our website upon the completion of the merger.

Compensation Committee

Upon the completion of the merger, we expect to have a compensation committee.

The purpose of the compensation committee is to assist our board of directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to (1) setting our compensation program and compensation of our executive officers and directors, (2) monitoring our incentive and equity-based compensation plans and (3) preparing the compensation committee report required to be included in our proxy statement under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the compensation committee which will be available on our website upon the completion of the merger.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Upon the completion of the merger, we expect to have a nominating and corporate governance committee. The purpose of our nominating and corporate governance committee will be to assist our board of directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to (1) identifying individuals qualified to become new board of directors members, consistent with criteria approved by the board of directors, (2) reviewing the qualifications of incumbent

122

Table of Contents

directors to determine whether to recommend them for reelection and selecting, or recommending that the board of directors select, the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders, (3) identifying board of directors members qualified to fill vacancies on any board of directors committee and recommending that the board of directors appoint the identified member or members to the applicable committee, (4) reviewing and recommending to the board of directors corporate governance principles applicable to us, (5) overseeing the evaluation of the board of directors and management and (6) handling such other matters that are specifically delegated to the committee by the board of directors from time to time.

Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee which will be available on our website upon completion of the merger.

Code of Business Conduct

We will adopt a new code of business conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, which will be available on our website upon the completion of the merger. Our code of business conduct is a “code of ethics,” as defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. Please note that our Internet website address is provided as an inactive textual reference only. We will make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of our code of ethics on our Internet website.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last year, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers that will serve as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.

Director Compensation

For fiscal year 2020, we did not provide director compensation to our non-employee directors. However, all of our non-employee directors are reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to their services as a member of our board of directors. In connection with the merger, we intend to approve and implement a non-employee director compensation policy.

THE MERGER

The following is a discussion of the merger and the material terms of the merger agreement among FinServ, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Katapult and Orlando Zayas, in his capacity as the representative of all Pre-Closing Holders (as defined in the merger agreement). You are urged to read carefully the merger agreement in its entirety, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the merger agreement that is important to you. We encourage you to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety. This section is not intended to provide you with any factual information about FinServ or Katapult. Such information can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Terms of the Merger

Transaction Structure

FinServ’s and Katapult’s boards of directors have approved the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub 1 with and into Katapult, with Katapult surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ, followed immediately by the merger of the resulting company with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ.

Merger Consideration

Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each share of Katapult preferred stock issued and outstanding will be converted into a number of shares of Katapult common stock in accordance with the (i) Conversion Written Consent and (ii) Katapult charter.

At the First Effective Time, each share of Katapult common stock (including common stock to be issued as a result of the conversion of Katapult preferred stock in connection with the merger) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than dissenting shares and Unvested Katapult Restricted Shares) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, consisting of (i) cash consideration, as determined under the merger agreement and further described herein, (ii) a number of shares of New Katapult common stock equal to (a) $833.0 million (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and net of the value of all Katapult Options to be converted into New Katapult options), minus the aggregate amount of cash paid in clause (i), divided by (b) 10 and (iii) the applicable portion of the 7,500,000 restricted shares of New Katapult common stock that will vest upon, among other things, the achievement of certain earn-out thresholds prior to the sixth anniversary of the closing of the merger.

Conversion of Shares; Exchange Procedures

The conversion of Katapult common stock outstanding immediately prior to First Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration will occur automatically at the First Effective Time. As soon as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time, New Katapult will exchange certificates representing shares of Katapult common stock for the applicable portion of the merger consideration to be received in the merger pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement.

Certificates and Letters of Transmittal

Concurrently with the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus, Katapult will send a letter of transmittal to each holder of record of a certificate that represented shares of Katapult common stock immediately prior to the First Effective Time. This mailing will contain instructions on how to surrender certificates representing Katapult capital stock in exchange for the applicable portion of the merger consideration the holder is entitled to receive under the merger agreement. From and after the First Effective Time, Katapult stockholders who properly surrender their certificates to New Katapult, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, will receive for each share of Katapult common stock the applicable portion of the merger consideration.

124

Table of Contents

Dissenting Shares

Shares held by Katapult stockholders who have perfected and not lost their right to demand appraisal of their shares in accordance with the procedures and requirements of Section 262 of the DGCL will not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration, and such Katapult stockholders will instead be entitled only to the rights granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such Katapult stockholder withdraws or loses his or her appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, the shares of Katapult capital stock held by such Katapult stockholder will be deemed to be converted, as of the First Effective Time, into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration.

Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Stock Certificates

If a certificate for Katapult capital stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of a duly executed affidavit as to that loss, theft or destruction, any other appropriate evidence as to the ownership of that certificate by the claimant and appropriate and customary indemnification as may be requested by New Katapult, the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate shall be entitled to receive the applicable portion of the merger agreement.

Unaudited Prospective Financial Information of Katapult

Katapult does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future sales, earnings, or other results. However, the management of Katapult prepared the prospective financial information set forth below to present the potential originations, revenue, net income, and Adjusted EBITDA, which was provided to Katapult’s board of directors, Katapult’s financial advisors and FinServ in connection with the evaluation of the merger. Katapult’s senior management prepared such financial information based on Katapult’s senior management’s judgement and assumptions regarding the future financial performance of Katapult. The inclusion of the below information should not be regarded as an indication that Katapult or any other recipient of this information considered — or now considers — it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results.

The unaudited prospective financial information of Katapult is subjective in many respects and is thus susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As a result, there can be no assurance that the prospective results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. Since the unaudited prospective financial information covers multiple years, that information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.

While presented in this proxy statement/prospectus with numeric specificity, the information set forth in the summary below was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Katapult’s senior management, including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements; Market, Ranking and Other Industry Data,” “Risk Factors” and “Katapult’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Katapult believes the assumptions in the prospective financial information were reasonable at the time the financial information was prepared, given the information Katapult had at the time. However, important factors that may affect actual results and cause the results reflected in the prospective financial information not to be achieved include, among other things, risks and uncertainties relating to Katapult’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment and general business and economic conditions. The prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change, including with respect to potential future acquisitions. The prospective financial information assumes acquisitions based on past experience and assumes that the organic growth rate of any acquired businesses match the growth rate of the standalone Katapult business. The accompanying prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information but, in the view of Katapult’s management, was prepared on a reasonable basis, reflects the best currently available estimates and judgments, and presents, to the best of management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Katapult. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.

Neither Katapult’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, NEITHER KATAPULT NOR FINSERV INTENDS TO MAKE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ANY UPDATE OR OTHER REVISION TO THE PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

Financial measures provided to a financial advisor in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures and therefore are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, we have not provided a reconciliation of the financial measures.

Certain Financial Analysis

FinServ’s management primarily relied upon a comparable company analysis to assess the value that the public markets would likely ascribe to FinServ following a business combination with Katapult and this analysis was presented to the FinServ board of directors. The relative valuation analysis was based on selected companies with publicly available information and with businesses similar or adjacent to Katapult’s business. The selected

126

Table of Contents

companies were chosen because they were determined by FinServ’s management to be the most relevant in their particular sector (but, for the avoidance of doubt, each of the selected companies is not necessarily a direct competitor of Katapult). The comparable companies the FinServ board of directors reviewed were:

• Afterpay Ltd, an Australian public company with technology-driven payment solutions that targets millennials;

• Sezzle Inc., an Australian public company with a buy now, pay later e-commerce payment platform;

• PayPal Holdings, Inc. a technology platform for digital payments;

• Repay Holdings Corporation, an integrated payment processing platform; and

• PROG Holdings, Inc., a lease-to-own company offering services through kiosks and retail stores.

In addition, FinServ’s management discussed potential valuations of Affirm Holdings, Inc. with its financial advisors although no public data was yet available for Affirm Holdings, Inc. These companies were selected by FinServ as the companies with publicly available data having businesses with similar (or, in the case of margins and growth rates, similar or reasonably achievable) end markets, business models, go-to-market strategies, transaction volumes, margins and growth rates. While these companies may share certain characteristics that are similar to those of Katapult, the FinServ board of directors recognized that no company was identical in nature to Katapult.

Using publicly available information, FinServ’s management reviewed with the FinServ board of directors, among other things, the revenue compound annual growth rate percentage with respect to each such selected comparable company over the period from 2020 (projected) through 2022 (projected). The percentages for the selected comparable companies as of December 15, 2020, are summarized in the table below:

Selected Company |  | 2020E – 2022E Revenue CAGR
Afterpay Ltd |  | 52 | %
Sezzle Inc. |  | 47 | %
PayPal Holdings, Inc. |  | 19 | %
Repay Holdings Corporation |  | 20 | %
PROG Holdings, Inc. |  | 12 | %

Based on the review of these selected comparable companies as of December 15, 2020, the FinServ board of directors concluded that Katapult’s pro forma revenue compound annual growth rate percentage over the period from 2020 (projected) through 2022 (projected) of 79.0% (based upon Katapult’s projected 2020, 2021 and 2022 revenue of $250 million, $455 million and $799 million, respectively, as described above in “Unaudited Prospective Financial Information”) was attractive relative to the 2020E-2022E revenue compound annual growth rate of such selected comparable companies.

Using publicly available information, FinServ’s management reviewed with the FinServ board of directors, among other things, the adjusted EBITDA compound annual growth rate percentage with respect to each such selected comparable company over the period from 2020 (projected) through 2022 (projected). The percentages for the selected comparable companies as of December 15, 2020, are summarized in the table below:

Selected Company |  | 2020E – 2022E Adjusted EBITDA CAGR
Afterpay Ltd |  | 108 | %
Sezzle Inc. |  | NM | ​(1)
PayPal Holdings, Inc. |  | 20 | %
Repay Holdings Corporation |  | 21 | %
PROG Holdings, Inc. |  | 8 | %

____________

(1) Not meaningful.

Based on the review of these selected comparable companies as of December 15, 2020, the FinServ board of directors concluded that Katapult’s pro forma adjusted EBITDA compound annual growth rate percentage over the period from 2020 (projected) through 2022 (projected) of 93.0% (based upon Katapult’s projected 2020, 2021 and

127

Table of Contents

2022 adjusted EBITDA of $40 million, $70 million and $151 million, respectively, as described above in “Unaudited Prospective Financial Information”) was attractive relative to the 2020E-2022E adjusted EBITDA compound annual growth rate of such selected comparable companies.

Using publicly available information, FinServ management also reviewed with the FinServ board of directors, among other things, the enterprise values (defined as market capitalization plus net debt plus minority investments minus unconsolidated investments) as a multiple of adjusted EBITDA for 2021 (projected) and 2022 (projected) with respect to each such selected comparable company. The multiples for the selected comparable companies as of December 15, 2020, are summarized in the table below:

Selected Company |  | Enterprise Value/ 2021E Adjusted EBITDA |  | Enterprise Value/ 2022E Adjusted EBITDA
Afterpay Ltd |  | >50.0x |  |  | >50.0x |
Sezzle Inc. |  | (1 | ) |  | (1 | )
PayPal Holdings, Inc. |  | 35.3x |  |  | 29.4x |
Repay Holdings Corporation |  | 27.2x |  |  | 23.2x |
PROG Holdings, Inc. |  | 10.1x |  |  | 8.9x |

____________

(1) Cannot be calculated due to negative projected adjusted EBITDA.

Based on the review of these selected comparable companies as of December 15, 2020, the FinServ board of directors concluded that Katapult’s enterprise value as a multiple of adjusted EBITDA for estimated calendar year 2021 and estimated calendar year 2022 of 14.1x and 6.6x, respectively, (based upon Katapult’s estimated adjusted EBITDA of $70 million and $151 million, respectively, as described above in “Unaudited Prospective Financial Information”) was an attractive valuation relative to the estimated calendar year enterprise values as a multiple of adjusted EBITDA of such selected comparable companies.

Using publicly available information, FinServ management also reviewed with the FinServ board of directors, among other things, the enterprise values as a multiple of revenue for 2021 (projected) and 2022 (projected) with respect to each such selected comparable company. The multiples for the selected comparable companies as of December 15, 2020, are summarized in the table below:

Selected Company |  | Enterprise Value/ 2021E Revenue |  | Enterprise Value/ 2022E Revenue
Afterpay Ltd |  | 30.4x |  | 21.2x
Sezzle Inc. |  | 8.7x |  | 6.3x
PayPal Holdings, Inc. |  | 10.2x |  | 8.6x
Repay Holdings Corporation |  | 11.9x |  | 10.1x
PROG Holdings, Inc. |  | 1.3x |  | 1.1x

FinServ’s board of directors did not deem enterprise value as a multiple of revenue to be as pertinent to the implied valuation of Katapult as enterprise value as a multiple of adjusted EBITDA. However, based on the review of these selected comparable companies as of December 15, 2020, the FinServ board of directors concluded that Katapult’s enterprise value as a multiple of revenue for estimated calendar year 2021 and estimated calendar year 2022 of 2.2x and 1.2x, respectively, (based upon Katapult’s estimated revenue of $455 million and $799 million, respectively, as described above in “Unaudited Prospective Financial Information”) was an attractive valuation relative to the estimated calendar year enterprise values as a multiple of revenue of such selected comparable companies.

The FinServ board of directors viewed Katapult’s revenue compound annual growth rate and adjusted EBITDA compound annual growth rate as the most relevant operational measures on which to evaluate Katapult’s performance relative to comparable companies based on their belief that revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth are the appropriate metrics to evaluate a company in Katapult’s stage of growth. Furthermore, the FinServ board of directors viewed Katapult’s enterprise value as a multiple of both revenue and adjusted EBITDA as the most relevant valuation measures on which to evaluate Katapult’s value based on their belief that these multiples are the most prevalent and relevant metrics for the companies that operate in Katapult’s industry and adjacent sectors. The results of this analysis (as described above) supported the FinServ board of directors’ determination, based on a number of factors, that the terms of the merger were fair to and in the best interests of FinServ and its stockholders.

Background of the Merger

FinServ is a blank check company incorporated as a corporation in Delaware on August 9, 2019 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The business combination with Katapult is the result of an extensive search for a transaction, whereby FinServ evaluated a number of potential targets utilizing FinServ’s network and the investing, operating and transaction experience of FinServ’s management team and FinServ’s board of directors. The terms of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) are the result of arm’s-length negotiations between representatives of FinServ and representatives of Katapult over the course of approximately three months. The following is a discussion of the background of these negotiations, the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.

On November 5, 2019, FinServ completed its initial public offering of 25 million units, which included the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3 million units. Each unit consists of one share of FinServ Class A Common Stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of FinServ Class A Common Stock. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses). Simultaneously with the consummation of the FinServ IPO and the sale of the units, FinServ consummated a private placement of 665,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, issued to the Sponsor, with each unit consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-half of one warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock, generating total proceeds of $6,650,000. The net proceeds from the FinServ IPO and the private placement with the Sponsor (other than limited funds held outside the trust for the purposes detailed in FinServ’s filings with the SEC) were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of FinServ’s public stockholders. Prior to the consummation of the FinServ IPO, neither FinServ, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a potential transaction with FinServ.

After the initial public offering, FinServ commenced an active search for businesses and assets to acquire. Representatives of FinServ contacted and were contacted by numerous individuals, financial advisors and other entities with respect to acquisition opportunities. FinServ had contact with more than 100 potential targets and/or their advisors, focusing on businesses in the FinTech and financial services sectors which (i) had estimated equity values ranging from $500 million to $2 billion, (ii) were positioned, operationally and financially, to be successful as a public company and would benefit from the increased ability to access capital that a public listing would provide, (iii) had a significant total addressable market (TAM) and growth expansion opportunities, (iv) were profitable or had a clear path to profitability, and the potential to improve margins, (iv) had a strong and experienced management team, and (v) had a business model in place to deal with risks and uncertainties associated with a changing economic environment.

FinServ entered into non-disclosure agreements with 32 potential target companies, in addition to Katapult, and engaged in varying levels of discussions, negotiations and due diligence with respect to those potential targets based on, among other factors, interest from, and due diligence access granted by, the potential target and the terms on which the potential target was willing to consider a potential transaction (including with respect to valuation). FinServ’s diligence on potential targets (which included, in many instances, meetings with the senior management of those potential targets and their advisors) included investigation into one or more of the following areas (depending on the potential target): financial projections (including testing sensitivities); historical financial performance; macroeconomic trends impacting the business; competitive positioning vs. peer group; operating margins; growth opportunities; performance history of the senior management team; current technology and potential impact from technology disruption; regulatory environment; and benefits/challenges to the potential target of being a public company.

FinServ ultimately determined not to proceed with each of its other potential acquisition opportunities for a variety of reasons, including because (i) the potential target pursued an alternative transaction or strategy, (ii) the potential target did not meet the valuation expectations of FinServ or (iii) FinServ concluded that the potential target’s business would not be a suitable business combination opportunity for FinServ, including for some as compared to a combination with Katapult.

On August 14, 2020 Katapult engaged PJT Partners LP (“PJT”) to act as financial advisor to the board of directors of Katapult in connection with the potential business combination. During the target evaluation process described above, a representative of PJT contacted FinServ on September 17, 2020 to express Katapult’s interest

129

Table of Contents

in evaluating a potential transaction with FinServ and providing preliminary information on Katapult. Following additional telephonic discussions, on September 24, 2020 Katapult and FinServ executed a non-disclosure agreement to facilitate a due diligence review of Katapult’s business.

Between late September 2020 and mid October 2020, Mr. Lee Einbinder, FinServ’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of FinServ’s board of directors, Mr. Howard Kurz, FinServ’s President and Chief Financial Officer and a member of FinServ’s board of directors, and Mr. Steven Handwerker, Consultant to FinServ and Head of Business Development, held discussions with members of Katapult’s management team, including Mr. Orlando Zayas, Katapult’s chief executive officer and a member of the Katapult board of directors, Ms. Karissa Cupito, Katapult’s chief financial officer, Mr. Derek Medlin, Katapult’s chief operating officer, and Ms. Fangqiu Sun, Katapult’s chief credit officer, regarding a potential strategic transaction involving Katapult and FinServ. During this period, Katapult also provided initial due diligence materials, including a management presentation and financial model.

On October 22, 2020, FinServ submitted to Katapult a non-binding indication of interest (the “IOI”) with key transaction terms, including (i) consideration of $833 million payable in a mix of cash and stock and (ii) an earnout for Katapult shareholders of 5 million shares of FinServ common stock (50% of which would vest upon FinServ stock reaching $12 per share, and the remaining 50% would vest upon FinServ’s stock reaching $14 per share). The valuation was based on 13x Katapult’s projected 2021 adjusted EBITDA of $76.6 million, and assumed certain levels of debt, cash and transaction expenses. FinServ’s use of the 13x multiple was based on its review of comparable companies, its view of Katapult’s appropriate trading range, diligence to date, and the M&A and capital markets expertise of FinServ’s officers. The total consideration included $425 million in cash and $408 million in FinServ common stock (based on a $10 per share value of FinServ’s stock), which assumed proceeds from a $200 million PIPE. The IOI also proposed a deferral of 25% of FinServ’s sponsor shares, 50% of which would vest upon FinServ stock reaching $12 per share, and the remaining 50% would vest upon FinServ’s stock reaching $14 per share.

From October 26, 2020 to November 1, 2020, FinServ held further telephonic discussions with PJT to discuss the terms of the IOI. The topics discussed included (i) justification of the valuation proposed by FinServ, (ii) the cash/stock mix and the size of the PIPE, (iii) adjustment mechanisms for changes in net debt prior to closing, (iv) lock-up provisions for FinServ’s Sponsor and Katapult’s existing equityholders, (v) minimum cash required at closing, (vi) board composition, (vii) the size and term of the earnout for Katapult’s existing equityholders, and (viii) additional due diligence required and overall timing required to sign a definitive transaction. PJT, on behalf of Katapult, and FinServ negotiated the terms of an acceptable consideration package, which was reflected in the Term Sheet described below.

On November 2, 2020, FinServ’s board of directors met telephonically to discuss and evaluate a potential business combination with four potential targets (including Katapult). Mr. Einbinder, Mr. Kurz and Mr. Handwerker reviewed with FinServ’s board of directors the material terms of the potential transactions with each of the four potential targets, as well as legal, governance, business, operational and other relevant key areas for consideration of each of the four potential targets, including, among other things, the historical and projected growth and their perspective on the probability of achieving projected financial goals, the expected PIPE, the experience and performance history of the various management teams, and the expected market receptivity to a transaction with each of the targets. FinServ’s board of directors discussed and evaluated the various factors and key considerations of each of the potential transactions, including the benefits and risks to FinServ’s stockholders of consummating each of the potential transactions.

On November 5, 2020, FinServ’s board of directors participated in a due diligence Zoom meeting with Katapult’s management. FinServ’s board of directors also held management due diligence meetings with two other potential targets.

On November 6, 2020, FinServ’s board of directors met telephonically to further discuss and evaluate a potential business combination with the four potential targets. FinServ’s board of directors continued its discussion from November 2, 2020 on the various factors and key considerations of each of the potential transactions, including the potential benefits and risks to FinServ’s stockholders of consummating each of the potential transactions. The Board also discussed the Term Sheet (as described below) and authorized submission of the same to Katapult.

130

Table of Contents

On November 6, 2020, FinServ submitted to Katapult a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”), which reflected the same $833 million consideration (excluding earnout shares) as the IOI but, following the discussions between FinServ and PJT, on behalf of Katapult, reflected a mix of consideration of $375 million in cash and $458 million in stock (based on a $10 per share value of FinServ’s stock) and an increase of the earnout to 7.5 million FinServ shares (50% of which would vest upon FinServ stock reaching $12 per share, and the remaining 50% would vest upon FinServ’s stock reaching $14 per share, in each case during a 6-year earnout period) in order to address Katapult’s requirement for additional value. The Term Sheet also provided for (i) FinServ’s board of directors to be comprised of between 7 and 9 directors, consisting of two directors appointed by FinServ, (ii) a six-month lock-up period for key post-closing equityholders, (iii) a reduction in the PIPE to $150 million, reflecting the decrease in the cash portion of the consideration, (iv) an adjustment to the cash consideration if Katapult’s net debt was greater than expected, (v) an adjustment to the cash/stock mix in the event of redemptions by FinServ’s stockholders which reduce cash available to FinServ and (vi) binding mutual exclusivity through December 18, 2020 (although, pursuant to such exclusivity provision, FinServ was permitted to continue to evaluate and hold discussions with potential targets but could not enter into any binding agreement with them with respect to a transaction).

On November 9, 2020, FinServ’s board of directors met telephonically to, among other matters, discuss the potential business combination with Katapult. Mr. Einbinder, Mr. Kurz and Mr. Handwerker updated FinServ’s board of directors on the discussions with Katapult regarding a potential business combination, including the status of FinServ’s due diligence to date and the contemplated transaction structure and terms. Following this discussion, FinServ’s board of directors directed management to continue to explore the potential business combination with Katapult and to update the board as the discussions progressed.

On November 10, PJT, on behalf of Katapult, provided a markup to the Term Sheet which reflected minor clarifying changes and agreed to FinServ’s valuation, cash/stock split and earnout proposal.

On November 11, 2020, FinServ’s board of directors met telephonically to further discuss the potential transaction with Katapult and to receive an update on the status of FinServ’s due diligence of Katapult. During the discussions it was concluded that based on, among other considerations, the experience and performance history of Katapult’s senior management team, Katapult’s high historical and projected growth and profitability, Katapult’s large TAM and industry leading technology, Katapult’s strong affiliate partnerships with successful e-commerce companies and a general market shift to e-commerce (which had been accelerated by COVID-19) which was likely to benefit Katapult, that a transaction with Katapult was the most attractive opportunity of the various potential targets. Following the discussions, FinServ’s board of directors approved entry into the Term Sheet with Katapult. On November 13, 2020, the Term Sheet was executed by both parties.

On November 11, Katapult opened a virtual data room with diligence materials to FinServ and its advisors.

During the remainder of November through December 17, 2020, FinServ and its advisors, including Kirkland & Ellis LLP (“Kirkland”), FinServ’s legal counsel, continued a due diligence review of Katapult’s business, including holding numerous diligence calls among FinServ management, Katapult management and their respective advisors, including DLA Piper LLP (US) (“DLA”), Katapult’s legal counsel. As part of the on-going dialogue, on November 24, 2020, FinServ sent an initial business due diligence request list to Katapult. During this period, FinServ’s management kept FinServ’s board of directors updated as to the status of negotiations with Katapult, the status of the proposed PIPE and the timeline for consummating the Transactions.

On November 27, 2020, FinServ engaged Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) as its financial advisor and lead placement agent for the PIPE Investment. On November 29, 2020, FinServ also engaged PJT as co-placement agent for the PIPE Investment given PJT’s knowledge of Katapult and notwithstanding PJT’s existing role as financial adviser to Katapult in connection with the proposed business combination.

On December 10, 2020, Kirkland and DLA exchanged drafts of the form of Subscription Agreement for the PIPE, which including the terms of the closing process, the conditions to closing the subscription, the representations and warranties of FinServ and the subscriber, the registration rights to be granted to subscribers and provisions related to the termination of the Subscription Agreement.

On December 11, 2020, Kirkland distributed the first draft of the Merger Agreement to DLA. Between December 11, 2020 and December 18, 2020, Kirkland and FinServ, on the one hand, and DLA and Katapult, on the other hand, exchanged drafts of the Merger Agreement and the other transaction documents, and engaged

131

Table of Contents

in negotiations of such documents and agreements. The various revised drafts reflected the parties’ respective positions on, among other matters (i) FinServ’s post-closing governance (which resulted in a board of 7 persons, with FinServ’s representation being reduced from two people, as included in the Term Sheet, to one person), (ii) the overall suite of representations, warranties and covenants to be provided by each party under the Merger Agreement and the related ancillary documents, (iii) the transaction structure, (iv) that $50 million of the cash proceeds from the PIPE would be utilized to fund cash to FinServ’s balance sheet, and (v) the closing condition relating to available cash at closing (after taking into account redemptions of FinServ’s stock). For further information related to the final resolution of the foregoing items, please see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement.” The negotiations also included counsel to certain of the key equityholders in Katapult, including Willkie, Farr & Gallagher LLP as counsel to CURO Group Holdings Corp., with respect to the terms of their voting and support agreements, their consent rights with respect to amendments and waivers with respect to the Merger Agreement and certain other matters (including representation on FinServ’s board of directors).

From December 10, 2020 through December 17, 2020, Barclays and PJT, as co-placement agents for the PIPE, at the request of FinServ, distributed draft documentation to prospective PIPE investors with respect to the PIPE. Kirkland and DLA collectively negotiated the terms of the Subscription Agreements with the prospective investors, including with respect to the registration rights set forth therein, and responded to follow up questions and comments related thereto, particularly with respect to the closing process and the expected timeline for consummating the Transactions. During this time, the prospective investors conveyed to Barclays and PJT their initial proposed subscription amounts. Between December 13, 2020 and December 15, 2020, FinServ held conversations with Barclays and PJT to determine the proposed size of the PIPE and the proposed allocations. On December 17, 2020, a final version of the Subscription Agreement was distributed to the prospective investors, which reflected the outcome of negotiations between the parties and the prospective investors. On December 17, 2020, the prospective investors that had chosen to participate in the PIPE indicated their final subscription amounts and delivered executed Subscription Agreements.

On December 16, 2020, representatives of Kirkland and Buckley LLP (“Buckley”), FinServ’s regulatory counsel, discussed with FinServ the results of their legal and regulatory due diligence review.

On December 16, 2020, FinServ’s board of directors met telephonically to discuss and evaluate the potential business combination with Katapult, with representatives of Kirkland in attendance. Representatives of Kirkland reviewed with FinServ’s board of directors its fiduciary duties in connection with a potential business combination with Katapult, including the obligations of board members to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest in a proposed transaction with Katapult (with no such conflicts being raised) and summarized the material terms of the Transactions, including those contained in the Merger Agreement and related transaction documents, as well as those related to the PIPE. Mr. Einbinder, Mr. Kurz and Mr. Handwerker then reviewed with FinServ’s board of directors the strategic rationale for the transaction, as well as their perspective on Katapult’s valuation as implied by the terms of the proposed transactions, including the PIPE Investment, and how that valuation compared to similar companies (see “Certain Financial Analysis”), the benefits to FinServ’s stockholders of consummating such a transaction and the potential market reaction to the Transactions, including the potential impact on FinServ’s stock price as a result of consummating such a transaction. FinServ management also presented to FinServ’s board of directors the results of the third party diligence conducted on Katapult. A discussion ensued, which included questions from board members to FinServ management and Kirkland.

On December 17, 2020, FinServ’s board of directors met telephonically to continue the discussion and evaluation of the potential business combination with Katapult, with representatives of Kirkland in attendance. Following that discussion, upon a motion duly made and seconded at the December 17, 2020 meeting, FinServ’s board of directors unanimously (i) determined that it is in the best interests of FinServ and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into the Merger Agreement, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement and (iii) adopted a resolution recommending the Merger be adopted by FinServ’s stockholders.

On December 18, 2020, the Katapult board of directors unanimously adopted resolutions approving the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the ancillary agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Table of Contents

On December 18, 2020, the parties executed the Merger Agreement and all transaction documents (including the PIPE agreements and voting support agreements). On the morning of December 18, 2020, before the stock market opened, FinServ and Katapult announced the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.

Recommendation of the FinServ Board of Directors and Reasons for the Merger

FinServ’s board of directors, in evaluating the merger, consulted with FinServ’s management and legal advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable and in the best interests of FinServ and its stockholders and (ii) to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, FinServ’s board of directors considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger, FinServ’s board of directors did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. FinServ’s board of directors viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of FinServ’s reasons for the merger and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements; Market, Ranking and Other Industry Data.”

In approving the merger, FinServ’s board of directors determined not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of FinServ have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the merger. In addition, FinServ’s officers and directors and FinServ’s advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions.

FinServ’s board of directors considered a number of factors pertaining to the merger as generally supporting its decision to enter into the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

• Growth Prospects. Katapult is a market leader in an attractive and growing industry with an already successful business and with strong growth prospects within the e-commerce sector of the fintech industry;

• Large Addressable Market. Katapult competes in a total U.S. addressable market estimated currently at approximately $40-50 billion. Supported by powerful consumer and retail trends, Katapult’s potential addressable market will continue to grow;

• Proprietary Technology Platform with Compelling Value Proposition. Katapult has innovated with a proprietary platform that provides scalability, operational efficiency and competitive differentiation and a two-sided value proposition to both merchants and consumers;

• Due Diligence. Due diligence examinations of Katapult and discussions with Katapult’s management and FinServ’s legal advisors concerning FinServ’s due diligence examination of Katapult;

• Financial Condition. FinServ’s board of directors also considered factors such as Katapult’s historical financial results, outlook, financial plan and debt structure, as well as the financial profiles of publicly traded companies in the fintech industry and adjacent markets, and certain relevant information with respect to companies that had been acquisition targets or received equity financings in transactions similar to the merger. In considering these factors, FinServ’s board of directors reviewed Katapult’s recent growth in certain key financial metrics (including merchants, consumers, revenue and adjusted EBITDA metrics), the current prospects for growth if Katapult achieved its business plans and various historical and current balance sheet items for Katapult. In reviewing these factors, FinServ’s board of directors noted that Katapult was well-positioned in its industry for strong future growth;

• Experienced and Proven Management Team. Katapult has a strong management team and the senior management of Katapult intend to remain with New Katapult in the capacity of officers and/or directors, which will provide helpful continuity in advancing Katapult’s strategic and growth goals;

133

Table of Contents

• Lock-Up. The Chief Executive Officer and certain other significant Pre-Closing Holders of Katapult have agreed to be subject to a six-month lock-up in respect of their shares of New Katapult common stock (subject to certain customary exceptions);

• Other Alternatives. FinServ’s board of directors believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to FinServ, that the proposed merger represents the best potential business combination for FinServ and the most attractive opportunity for FinServ’s management to accelerate its business plan based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and FinServ’s board of directors’ belief that such process has not presented a better alternative; and

• Negotiated Transaction. The financial and other terms of the merger agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions are reasonable and were the product of arm’s length negotiations between FinServ and Katapult.

FinServ’s board of directors also considered a variety of uncertainties and risk and other potentially negative factors concerning the merger including, but not limited to, the following:

• Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty and the effects it could have on the combined company’s revenues and adjusted EBITDA;

• Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of FinServ stockholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the merger and pursuant to FinServ’s Existing Charter, which would potentially make the merger more difficult or impossible to complete;

• Stockholder Vote. The risk that FinServ’s stockholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to effect the merger;

• Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the merger is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within FinServ’s control;

• Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the merger or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the merger;

• Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing Katapult, a private entity, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which FinServ will be subject as a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq;

• Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risks that the potential benefits of the merger may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

• Liquidation of FinServ. The risks and costs to FinServ if the merger is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in FinServ being unable to effect a business combination by November 5, 2021;

• Growth Initiatives May Not be Achieved. The risk that the growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

• No Third-Party Valuation. The risk that FinServ did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the merger;

• FinServ Stockholders Receiving a Minority Position in Katapult. The risk that FinServ stockholders will hold a minority position in Katapult; and

• Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the merger.

134

Table of Contents

In addition to considering the factors described above, FinServ’s board of directors also considered other factors including, without limitation:

• Interests of Certain Persons. Some officers and directors of FinServ may have interests in the merger. See the section titled “— Interests of FinServ’s Directors and Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 135 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

• Other Risks Factors. Various other risk factors associated with the business of Katapult, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement.

FinServ’s board of directors concluded that the potential benefits that it expected FinServ and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the merger outweighed the potentially negative and other factors associated with the merger. FinServ’s board of directors also noted that the FinServ stockholders would have a substantial economic interest in the combined company (depending on the level of FinServ stockholders that sought redemption of their Class A Common Stock into cash). Accordingly, FinServ’s board of directors unanimously determined that the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, were advisable and in the best interests of FinServ and its stockholders.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

The Nasdaq rules require that FinServ’s initial business combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account) at the time of FinServ’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial business combination. As of December 18, 2020, the date of the execution of the merger agreement, the value of the net assets held in the Trust Account was approximately $251.25 million (excluding approximately $9.35 million of deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account) and 80% thereof represents approximately $201 million. In reaching its conclusion that the merger meets the 80% asset test, FinServ’s board of directors used as a fair market value the enterprise value of approximately $1.0 billion, which was implied based on the terms of the transactions agreed to by the parties in negotiating the merger agreement. The enterprise value consists of an implied equity value of approximately $962 million and approximately $32 million of net cash. In determining whether the enterprise value described above represents the fair market value of Katapult, FinServ’s board of directors considered all of the factors described in this section and the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger Agreement” and the fact that the purchase price for Katapult was the result of an arm’s length negotiation. As a result, FinServ’s board of directors concluded that the fair market value of the business acquired was significantly in excess of 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account).

Interests of FinServ’s Directors and Officers in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of FinServ to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals and the other proposals, stockholders should keep in mind that certain members of the board of directors and executive officers of FinServ and the Sponsor, including their directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of FinServ stockholders generally. In particular:

• If the merger or another business combination is not consummated by November 5, 2021, FinServ will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 6,250,000 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor, our directors and our senior advisor, which was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 (and a subsequent dividend thereon) prior to FinServ’s IPO, and the 665,000 Private Placement Units would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an estimated aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per public share on the Nasdaq on , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting.

135

Table of Contents

• The Sponsor, in which certain of FinServ’s officers and directors hold a direct or indirect interest, purchased an aggregate of 665,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement. These purchases took place simultaneously with the consummation of FinServ’s IPO. A portion of the proceeds FinServ received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account. Such units had an estimated aggregate value of $ based on the closing prices of $ per warrant and $ per Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq on , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting. The Private Placement Warrants will become worthless if FinServ does not consummate a business combination by November 5, 2021.

• Lee Einbinder will be a member of the board of directors of New Katapult after the closing of the merger. As such, in the future, Lee Einbinder will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New Katapult board of directors determines to pay to its non-executive directors.

• If FinServ is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, its executive officers will be personally liable under certain circumstances described herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by FinServ for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to FinServ. If FinServ consummates a business combination, on the other hand, FinServ will be liable for all such claims.

• FinServ’s officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with identifying, investigating and completing a business combination. However, if FinServ fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, FinServ may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the merger or another business combination, are not completed by November 5, 2021.

• The continued indemnification of current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Placement Agent

Due to PJT’s knowledge of Katapult, following execution of the Term Sheet, FinServ hired PJT to act as co-placement agent with Barclays Capital Inc. on its $150 million PIPE Investment. In connection with performing such services, PJT will receive fees and expense reimbursements customary for a PIPE transaction (subject to the terms and conditions of its engagement letter with FinServ). PJT previously had been hired by Katapult to advise it in connection with the proposed business combination, and will receive customary compensation in connection therewith. PJT did not provide any advice to FinServ, including, but not limited to, regarding the valuation of Katapult or the terms of the business combination with Katapult. Prior to FinServ engaging PJT, FinServ and Katapult each signed a consent letter with PJT acknowledging PJT’s roles as financial advisor to Katapult in connection with the proposed business combination and as co-placement agent to FinServ in connection with the PIPE Investment and waived any purported conflicts in connection with such dual roles. In addition, PJT and its affiliates may provide investment banking and other financial services to FinServ, Katapult and their respective affiliates in the future, for which they would expect to receive customary compensation.

REGULATORY APPROVAL REQUIRED FOR THE MERGER

Completion of the merger is subject to regulatory approval under the HSR Act. FinServ and Katapult agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain required regulatory approval and to request early termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act.

Under the HSR Act, and related rules, the transactions may not be completed until notifications have been filed with and certain information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) and the FTC and all statutory waiting period requirements have been satisfied. FinServ and Katapult filed Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC on January 5, 2021.

At any time before or after the completion of the merger, the Antitrust Division or the FTC could take action under the U.S. antitrust laws, including seeking to prevent the merger, to rescind the merger or to clear the merger subject to the divestiture of assets of FinServ or Katapult or subject the transactions to other remedies. In addition, U.S. state attorneys general could take action under the antitrust laws as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest including without limitation seeking to enjoin the completion of the transactions or permitting completion subject to the divestiture of assets of FinServ or Katapult or other remedies. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under some circumstances. There can be no assurance that a challenge to the transactions on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if such challenge is made, that it would not be successful.

There can be no assurances that the regulatory approval discussed above will be received on a timely basis, or as to the ability of FinServ and Katapult to obtain the approval on satisfactory terms or the absence of litigation challenging such approvals.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

The merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, FinServ will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes and the business combination will be treated as the equivalent of Katapult issuing stock for the net assets of FinServ, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FinServ will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Katapult has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

• Katapult’s existing shareholders will have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity under the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios with over 55.4% and 72.1% voting interest, respectively;

• The largest individual minority stockholder of the combined entity is an existing shareholder of Katapult;

• Katapult’s existing directors and individuals designed by existing Katapult stockholders will represent the majority of the New Katapult board of directors;

• Katapult’s senior management will be the senior management of New Katapult; and

• Katapult is the larger entity based on historical revenue and has the larger employee base.

Other factors were considered, including the purpose and intent of the merger, noting that the preponderance of evidence as described above is indicative that Katapult is the accounting acquirer in the merger.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

This section describes the material terms of the merger agreement. The description in this section and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the merger agreement that is important to you. You are encouraged to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety. This section is not intended to provide you with any factual information about FinServ or Katapult. Such information can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Effects of the Merger

As a result of the First Merger, Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Katapult, with Katapult surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ. Immediately following the First Merger, at the Second Effective Time (as defined herein), Katapult will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FinServ. The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, each substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibits E and F to the merger agreement, will be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (respectively) of the surviving company. The effective times of the First Merger and the Second Merger are sometimes referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the “First Effective Time” and the “Second Effective Time,” respectively.

Merger Consideration

Consideration; Conversion of Shares. Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each share of Katapult preferred stock issued and outstanding will be converted into a number of shares of Katapult common stock in accordance with the (i) Conversion Written Consent and (ii) Katapult charter.

At the First Effective Time, each share of Katapult common stock (including common stock to be issued as a result of the conversion of Katapult preferred stock in connection with the merger) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than dissenting shares and Unvested Katapult Restricted Shares) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration, in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, consisting of (i) cash consideration, as determined under the merger agreement and further described herein as the “Adjusted Cash Amount,” (ii) a number of shares of New Katapult common stock equal to (a) $833.0 million (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and net of the value of all Katapult Options to be converted into New Katapult options), minus the aggregate amount of cash paid in clause (i), divided by (b) 10 and (iii) the applicable portion of the 7,500,000 restricted shares of New Katapult common stock that will vest upon, among other things, the achievement of certain earn-out thresholds prior to the sixth anniversary of the closing of the merger. The consideration described in this paragraph is sometimes referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the “merger consideration.”

The “Adjusted Cash Amount” shall be equal to (a) the sum of the cash proceeds to be received by FinServ at the closing of the merger (i) from the Trust Account (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A Common Stock) and (ii) in respect of the PIPE Investment (or any alternative third party financing), minus (b) certain expenses of FinServ related to the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, up $25.0 million, and minus (c) $50.0 million. The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration are subject to the following adjustments based on the amount, as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the closing date of the merger, of (x) consolidated cash balances and cash equivalents of Katapult and its subsidiaries, as determined in accordance with GAAP and subject to certain adjustments set forth in the merger agreement (including, among others, for restricted cash), minus (y) the consolidated indebtedness of Katapult and its subsidiaries, other than indebtedness arising under Katapult’s First Lien Credit Agreement (excluding the Term Loan), as such terms are defined in the merger agreement (such amount, “Net Cash”). If Net Cash is:

• less than $10,000,000, then the Cash Consideration will be decreased by an amount equal to the difference between (x) $15,000,000 and (y) such Net Cash amount;

• greater than $20,000,000, then the Stock Consideration will be increased by a number of shares of New Katapult common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) such Net Cash amount minus $15,000,000 by (y) 10; and

140

Table of Contents

• between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000 (inclusive), there shall be no adjustment to the Cash Consideration and/or the Stock Consideration.

In addition, as of the First Effective Time, (i) each Katapult Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a Pre-Closing Holder will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of New Katapult common stock in the manner set forth in the merger agreement, (ii) each Katapult Restricted Share will be cancelled and entitled to receive a portion of the merger consideration in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, and each Unvested Katapult Restricted Share will be cancelled for no consideration, and (iii) each active employee of Katapult who is a Pre-Closing Holder who holds a Katapult Option and/or Vested Katapult Restricted Shares will receive such holder’s allocation of the Earn-out Shares.

Earn-Out Consideration. At the First Effective Time, FinServ will also issue or cause to be issued to the Pre-Closing Holders of Katapult an aggregate of 7,500,000 restricted shares of New Katapult common stock (subject to vesting, forfeiture and certain other restrictions (including on transfer) set forth in the merger agreement (the “Earn-out Shares”)). With respect to the Earn-out Shares: (i) one-half (1/2) of the Earn-out Shares will vest if the closing price of the New Katapult common stock is greater than or equal to $12.00 over any 20 Trading Days (as defined in the merger agreement) within any 30 consecutive Trading Day period, and (ii) one-half (1/2) of the Earn-out Shares will vest if the closing price of the New Katapult common stock is greater than or equal to $14.00 over any 20 Trading Days within any 30 consecutive Trading Day period, in each case, prior to the expiry of six (6) years from the closing of the merger (the “Earn-Out Period”). In addition, if there is a change of control of FinServ prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Period that will result in the holders of New Katapult common stock receiving a price per share equal to or in excess of the applicable price per share thresholds described above, then Earn-Out Shares will vest in connection with such change of control of Katapult in the manner set forth in the merger agreement.

Closing and Effective Time of the Merger

The closing of the merger (the “closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time (i) at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022 or (ii) by electronic exchange of executed documents, the date which is three (3) business days after the first date on which all of the closing conditions have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof) or such other time and place as FinServ and Katapult may mutually agree. (such date, the “closing date”). See “The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 151 for a more complete description of the conditions that must be satisfied prior to closing.

On the closing date, FinServ and Katapult will effect the First Merger by filing a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, with the First Effective Time to be the time such certificate of merger has been accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by FinServ and Katapult in writing and specified in such certificate of merger in accordance with the DGCL. Immediately after the First Effective Time, FinServ and Katapult will effect the Second Merger by filing a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, with the Second Effective Time to be the time such certificate of merger has been accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by FinServ and Katapult in writing and specified in such certificate of merger in accordance with the DGCL.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the parties expect that the merger will be effective during the first half of 2021. However, there can be no assurance as to when or if the merger will occur.

If the merger is not completed by July 31, 2021 (the “termination date”), the merger agreement may be terminated by either FinServ or Katapult. A party may not terminate the merger agreement pursuant to the provision described in this paragraph if such party’s breach of any of its covenants or obligations under the merger agreement was the proximate cause to the failure of the closing to occur by the termination date. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination” beginning on page 153.

Treatment of Katapult Equity Awards

• Katapult Options. Each Katapult Option that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time and then held by a Pre-Closing Holder who has been actively employed by Katapult for at least 730 consecutive days as of the First Effective Time shall accelerate and become fully vested as of the First Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Katapult Equity Plan. As of the First Effective Time, each such outstanding Katapult Option (after taking into account any acceleration of vesting pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), will convert into an option to receive a number of shares of New Katapult common stock equal to the number of shares of Katapult common stock subject to such option immediately prior to such conversion, multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio (as defined in the merger agreement), rounded down to the nearest whole share, and at an exercise price per share of New Katapult common stock equal to the exercise price per share of Katapult common stock subject to such option divided by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

• Company Restricted Shares. As of the First Effective Time, each Vested Katapult Restricted Share will be canceled and will be entitled to receive from Katapult, in settlement thereof, the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration. Each Unvested Katapult Restricted Share will be cancelled for no consideration provided that all Pre-Closing Holders of Vested Company Restricted Shares shall be treated as if any withholding taxes applicable to their company restricted shares were satisfied on a “net settlement basis” and Katapult issued to each such Pre-Closing Holder the number of shares of Katapult common stock set forth across such Pre-Closing Holder’s name on the Allocation Schedule in connection with such net settlement.

The parties to the merger agreement agree that they shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the merger agreement and to enforce specifically the terms of provisions thereof prior to valid termination of the merger agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties have agreed not to oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Stock Market Listing

Application will be made by FinServ to have the shares of New Katapult common stock to be issued in the merger approved for listing on Nasdaq, which is the principal trading market for existing shares of FinServ’s Class A Common Stock. It is a condition to both parties’ obligation to complete the merger that such approval is obtained.

Fees and Expenses

Except as otherwise set forth in the merger agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger agreement, the ancillary documents thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the fees and disbursements of a party’s representatives, will be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses.

OTHER AGREEMENTS

FinServ Letter Agreement

In connection with FinServ’s IPO, the Sponsor and FinServ’s officers and directors (collectively, the “Letter Agreement Parties”) entered into a letter agreement with FinServ, pursuant to which they have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree) to vote any Founder Shares and any shares of Class A Common Stock held by them in favor of a proposed initial business combination. In addition, the Letter Agreement Parties agreed to waive (i) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any shares of Class A Common Stock held by them in connection with the completion of an initial business combination or any other tender offer made by FinServ to purchase FinServ common stock and (ii) their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares, and any of the 665,000 shares of Class A Common Stock comprising the Private Placement Units, held by them if FinServ fails to complete an initial business combination within the time period prescribed by its Existing Charter.

The Letter Agreement Parties also agreed that they will not propose any amendment to FinServ’s Existing Charter that would modify (i) the substance or timing of the redemption rights of holders of shares of Class A Common Stock comprising the units sold in FinServ’s IPO (the “Offering Shares”) or (i) (A) FinServ’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if it does not complete an initial business combination within the time period prescribed in its Existing Charter or (B) any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless FinServ provides its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to FinServ to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.

The support agreements entered into by CURO and Tribeca (each as defined below) grant such supporting holders consent rights with respect to, among other things, amendments to, and Katapult’s ability to terminate or waive conditions under, the merger agreement. In addition, CURO’s support agreement provides that, so long as CURO owns at least 10% of the issued and outstanding New Katapult common stock, CURO shall have the right to re-nominate the director selected as its initial Class I director upon the expiration of such director’s initial term.

The form of the A&R RRA is attached hereto as Annex E and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. You are encouraged to read the form of A&R RRA in its entirety.

|  | Existing Charter |  | Proposed Charter
Amendments to Waiver of Corporate Opportunities Prospective Only (Proposal 5) |  | FinServ’s existing charter has no specific provision regarding when an amendment to the waiver of corporate opportunities is effective. |  | New Katapult’s charter will provide that any alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of the provisions of the New Katapult Certificate of Incorporation that relate to the waiver of corporate opportunities will eliminate or reduce such provisions in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for such provisions, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, addition repeal or adoption.

All stockholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Charter in its entirety, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

Reasons for Proposed Charter Amendments

Authorized Shares (Proposal 2)

FinServ’s Existing Charter authorizes (a) 110,000,000 shares of common stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Proposal 2 provides that New Katapult will be authorized to issue 275,000,000 shares, consisting of 250,000,000 shares of common stock and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Upon the conversion of the Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock and the elimination of the blank check provisions in FinServ’s charter, FinServ board determined that there was no longer a need to continue with two (2) series of common stock and, therefore, Proposal 2 eliminates the Class B Common Stock. Proposal 2 also increases the authorized number of shares. FinServ’s board of directors believes that it is important for us to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support its growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs (including, if needed, as part of financing for future growth acquisitions). The shares would be issuable as consideration for the merger and the other transactions contemplated by in this proxy statement/prospectus, and for any proper corporate purpose, including future acquisitions, capital raising transactions consisting of equity or convertible debt, stock dividends or issuances under current and any future stock incentive plans.

FinServ’s board of directors believes that these additional shares will provide us with needed flexibility to issue shares in the future in a timely manner and under circumstances we consider favorable without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

Elimination of Class B Common Stock (Proposal 3)

FinServ’s Existing Charter contains provisions regarding the conversion of Class B Common Stock and anti-dilution protections in respect of Class B Common Stock. FinServ’s Existing Charter also requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock in order to make any amendment that would alter or change the powers, preferences or other rights of the holders of Class B Common Stock. The Proposed Charter eliminates Class B Common Stock and any rights of holders thereof. Following the merger, all shares of Class B Common Stock will have converted into Class A Common Stock and the protections afforded the Class B Common Stock while FinServ was a special purpose acquisition company will no longer be necessary. Pursuant to the Proposed Charter, New Katapult’s common stock will cease to be classified and all Class A Common Stock will become New Katapult common stock. FinServ’s board of directors believes that the provisions relating to the Class B Common Stock will no longer be relevant to New Katapult and should be eliminated.

No Class Vote on Changes in Authorized Number of Shares of Stock (Proposal 4)

FinServ’s Existing Charter contains no specific provision regarding the required vote to change the authorized shares of any class of stock. The Proposed Charter provides that any vote with respect to the increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of any class or classes of stock (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) requires the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the voting power of the stock of New Katapult entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the class or classes the number of authorized shares of which are being increased or decreased, unless a separate voting standard is expressly set forth in the certificate of designation of preferred stock of New Katapult.

FinServ’s board of directors believes that vesting the power to authorize changes in the authorized number of shares in the holders of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors will give New Katapult greater flexibility to use its share capital. FinServ’s board of directors further believes that it is appropriate to require a stricter voting standard to change the authorized share capital.

Amendments to Waiver of Corporate Opportunities Prospective Only (Proposal 5)

FinServ’s Existing Charter has no specific provision regarding when an amendment to the waiver of corporate opportunities is effective. The Proposed Charter provides that no alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of the provisions of the Proposed Charter that relates to the waiver of corporate opportunities or adoption of any provision of the Proposed Charter (including any designation of preferred stock of New Katapult) inconsistent with such

160

Table of Contents

provisions will eliminate or reduce such provisions in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for such provisions, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, addition repeal or adoption. FinServ’s board of directors believes that it is important to clarify that any future amendment of provisions of the Proposed Charter relating to the waiver of corporate opportunities will not retroactively affect any action a director may take in reliance on such waiver.

Required Vote to Amend Certain Provisions (Proposal 6)

FinServ’s Existing Charter does not have a specified vote required for amendments to the charter relating to the powers, number, election, term, vacancies or removal of directors of FinServ. The Proposed Charter requires the affirmative vote of 66.7% of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting as a single class, to effect any amendment to the charter relating to the powers, number, election, term, vacancies or removal of directors of New Katapult, the provisions regarding meetings of stockholders and the amendment provision of the Proposed Charter. FinServ’s board of directors believes that a stricter vote requirement to make changes to matters relating to constitution of the board of directors, along with provisions relating to the ability to make changes to this provision, will discourage takeover attempts.

Forum for Internal Corporate Claims (Proposal 7)

FinServ’s Existing Charter does not have a provision governing the forum for “internal corporate claims” as such term is defined in Section 115 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Proposed Charter will provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder to bring an action asserting an “internal corporate claim.” Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, “internal corporate claims” means claims, including claims in the right of the corporation, (i) that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director or officer or stockholder in such capacity, or (ii) as to which the Delaware General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery. Software Acquisition Group’s board of directors believes that “internal corporate claims” should be restricted to the exclusive forum of the Delaware Chancery Court because that court is in the best position to determine the validity of claims that are by their nature subject solely to the interpretation of Delaware law or that the Delaware General Corporation Law otherwise confers specific jurisdiction on the Delaware Chancery Court.

Exclusive Forum for Actions Arising out of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (Proposal 8)

FinServ’s existing charter does not provide an exclusive forum for causes of action asserting a claim under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The Proposed Charter will provide that, unless an alternative forum is consented to in writing by New Katapult, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. FinServ’s board of directors believes that the federal district courts, which have statutory jurisdiction over claims brought under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, are the appropriate courts to adjudicate these claims.

Replacement of the Existing Charter (Proposal 9)

FinServ’s Existing Charter will be amended and replaced in its entirety with the Proposed Charter. Conditioned upon the approval of Proposals 2 through 8, Proposal 9 provides approval for the Proposed Charter, which includes approval of all other changes in the Proposed Charter and related clean up changes, as well as the removal of provisions of FinServ’s Existing Charter that will no longer be relevant, in connection with replacing the Existing Charter with the Proposed Charter, including changing FinServ’s name from “FinServ Acquisition Corp.” to “Katapult Group, Inc.” as of the closing of the merger.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Proposed Charter and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

The Proposed Charter will contain and the DGCL contains provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of the board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire New Katapult. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition

161

of New Katapult by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders. See “Description of New Katapult Capital Stock — Anti-Takeover Effects of New Katapult’s Proposed Charter and Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law” for more information.

Vote Required for Approval

If the Business Combination Proposal or the Nasdaq Proposal are not approved, the Charter Proposals will not be presented at the Special Meeting. The vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately, “FOR” the Charter Proposals is required to approve the Charter Proposals. The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Charter Proposals, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Charter Proposals, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Charter Proposals will not be effected.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote online at the Special Meeting and abstentions from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Proposals.

The Sponsor and FinServ’s directors and officers have agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any shares of Class A Common Stock owned by them (including underlying the Private Placement Units) in favor of each of the Charter Proposals.

A copy of the proposed charter, as will be in effect assuming approval of each of the Charter Proposals and upon consummation of the merger and filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

Recommendation of the FinServ Board of Directors

FINSERV’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE CHARTER PROPOSALS.

PROPOSAL NO. 10 — THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

Upon the closing of the business combination, the New Katapult Board will consist of seven (7) directors. Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved at the Special Meeting, holders of FinServ common stock are being asked to elect seven (7) directors to the New Katapult Board, effective upon the consummation of the merger. The election of these directors is contingent upon the closing of the merger.

Nominees

Our board of directors has nominated each of Orlando Zayas, Don Gayhardt, Brian Hirsch, Bruce Taragin, and Lee Einbinder to serve as our directors upon the consummation of the merger with Messrs. and to serve as Class I directors (to initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification of the board of directors), Messrs. Einbinder and Taragin to serve as Class II directors (to initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification of the board of directors) and Messrs.

Vote Required for Approval

If the Business Combination Proposal or the Nasdaq Proposal are not approved, the Director Election Proposal will not be presented at the Special Meeting. Approval of the election of each of the seven (7) directors nominated in the Director Election Proposal requires a plurality of the votes cast by holders of common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Failure to submit a proxy or to vote online at the Special Meeting and abstentions from voting will have no effect on the Director Election Proposal.

Notwithstanding the approval of the Director Election Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Director Election Proposal will not be effected.

The Sponsor and FinServ’s directors and officers have agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any shares of Class A Common Stock owned by them (including underlying the Private Placement Units) in favor of each of the seven (7) directors nominated in the Director Election Proposal.

PROPOSAL NO. 11 — THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL

Immediately prior to and in connection with the merger, FinServ intends to effect the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements. In connection with the merger, FinServ intends to effect the issuance of shares of New Katapult common stock to the holders of Katapult common stock pursuant to the merger agreement, including 7,500,000 restricted shares of New Katapult common stock that will vest upon, among other things, the achievement of certain earn-out thresholds prior to the sixth anniversary of the closing of the merger.

Reasons for the Approval for Purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635

We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), (b) and (d).

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering and: (i) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such securities (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a “change of control” of the registrant. Although Nasdaq has not adopted any rule on what constitutes a “change of control” for purposes of Rule 5635(b), Nasdaq has previously indicated that the acquisition of, or right to acquire, by a single investor or affiliated investor group, as little as 20% of the common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) or voting power of an issuer could constitute a change of control.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the greater of book or market value of the stock if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.

Stockholder approval of the Nasdaq Proposal is also a condition to the closing under the merger agreement. Furthermore, because the issuance and sale of shares of Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors and the issuance of shares of New Katapult common stock to the holders of Katapult common stock are conditions to the closing of the merger, each of the Nasdaq Listing Rules relating to these proposals must be approved by our stockholders or the merger cannot be consummated.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Failure to submit a proxy or to vote online at the Special Meeting and abstentions from voting will have no effect on the Nasdaq Proposal.

The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Nasdaq Proposal will not be effected.

The Sponsor and FinServ’s directors and officers have agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any shares of Class A Common Stock owned by them (including underlying the Private Placement Units) in favor of each of the Nasdaq Proposal.

If the Business Combination Proposal or the Nasdaq Proposal are not approved, the Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented at the Special Meeting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class at a meeting at which a quorum is present is required to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote online at the Special Meeting and abstentions from voting will have no effect on the Incentive Plan Proposal.

The merger is conditioned upon the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, if the merger is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Incentive Plan Proposal will not be effected.

PROPOSAL NO. 13 — THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow FinServ’s board of directors to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal, or holders of FinServ’s Class A Common Stock have elected to redeem an amount of Class A Common Stock such that FinServ would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or the Minimum Cash Condition would not be satisfied or waived by Katapult. In no event will FinServ’s board of directors adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the merger beyond the date by which it may properly do so under its Existing Charter and Delaware law.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by FinServ’s stockholders, FinServ’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal, or holders of FinServ’s Class A Common Stock have elected to redeem an amount of Class A Common Stock such that FinServ would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or the Minimum Condition would not be satisfied or waived by Katapult, and may be unable to consummate the merger. If FinServ does not consummate the merger and fail to complete an initial business combination by November 5, 2021 (subject to the requirements of law), it will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common stock, voting together as a single class, regardless of whether a quorum is present.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote online at the Special Meeting and abstentions from voting will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

The merger is not conditioned upon the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

The Sponsor and FinServ’s directors and officers have agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any shares of Class A Common Stock owned by them (including underlying the Private Placement Units) in favor of each of the Adjournment Proposal.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exercise by U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below) of Class A Common Stock (“FinServ public shares”) of their redemption rights in connection with the merger. This discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction, or under any U.S. federal laws other than those pertaining to income tax.

For purposes of this discussion, because any unit of FinServ consisting of one (1) share of Class A Common Stock and one-half (1/2) of one (1) redeemable warrant is separable at the option of the holder, FinServ is treating any share of Class A Common Stock and one-half (1/2) of one (1) redeemable warrant held in the form of a single unit as separate instruments and is assuming that the unit itself will not be treated as an integrated instrument. Accordingly, the separation of a unit of FinServ in connection with the merger generally should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to any FinServ public shares held through a unit of FinServ.

This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the regulations promulgated under the Code and court and administrative rulings and decisions, all as in effect on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. These authorities may change, possibly retroactively, and any change could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth in this discussion.

This discussion addresses only those U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders of FinServ public shares that hold their FinServ public shares as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address any tax considerations for any transaction other than the exercise of redemption rights by beneficial owners of FinServ public shares, and in particular does not address any tax considerations with respect to any other transaction in connection with the merger, Founder Shares or warrants to acquire FinServ public shares, or Katapult securities. Further, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to you in light of your individual circumstances or that may be applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including if you are:

• a financial institution;

• a tax-exempt organization;

• a government or agency or instrumentality thereof;

• a real estate investment trust;

• an S corporation or other pass-through entity (or an investor in an S corporation or other pass-through entity);

• an insurance company;

• a regulated investment company or a mutual fund;

• pension plans;

• a “controlled foreign corporation” or a “passive foreign investment company;”

• a dealer or broker in stocks and securities, or currencies;

• a trader in securities that elects mark-to-market treatment;

• a holder of FinServ public shares that is liable for the alternative minimum tax;

• a holder of FinServ public shares that received FinServ public shares through the exercise of an employee stock option, through a tax qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation;

• a U.S. Holder of FinServ public shares that has a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

167

Table of Contents

• a holder of FinServ public shares that holds FinServ public shares as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion or other integrated transaction;

• a person required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to FinServ public shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

• a U.S. expatriate;

• a person who actually or constructively owns 5 percent or more of the shares of FinServ by vote or value; or

• the Sponsor, its affiliates, or other holders of Founder Shares.

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of FinServ public shares, that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) such trust has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (4) an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source. A “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of FinServ public shares (other than a partnership or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Holder.

If an entity or an arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds FinServ public shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a redemption of FinServ public shares to a partner in such partnership (or owner of such entity) generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership (or entity). Any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that holds FinServ public shares, and any partners in such partnership, are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the redemption in their specific circumstances.

The tax consequences of a redemption of your FinServ public shares will depend on your specific situation. In addition, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise of redemption rights to the beneficial owners of FinServ public shares may be affected by matters not discussed herein and depends in some instances on determinations of fact and interpretations of complex provisions of U.S. federal income tax law for which no clear precedent or authority may be available. You should consult with your own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of a redemption of your FinServ public shares in your particular circumstances, including the applicability and effect of the alternative minimum tax and any U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other tax laws and of changes in those laws.

FinServ has not requested, and does not intend to request, a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the redemption of FinServ public shares. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. In addition, the following discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under the unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. Each holder of FinServ public shares is urged to consult its tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequence of the redemption to such holder.

Tax Consequences of a Redemption of FinServ Public Shares

Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders

The discussion below applies to you if you are a “U.S. Holder” (as defined above) of FinServ public shares that exercises the redemption rights described above under “Special Meeting of Stockholders — Redemption Rights” with respect to your FinServ public shares.

168

Table of Contents

Treatment of Redemption

The treatment of a redemption of your FinServ public shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the FinServ public shares under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of the FinServ public shares, you generally will recognize gain or loss as described below under “— Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale of FinServ public shares” below. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of FinServ public shares, you generally will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution subject to tax as described below under “— Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions.” Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of FinServ public shares treated as held by you (including any shares constructively owned by you, generally including FinServ public shares constructively held by you as a result of owning any FinServ publicly traded warrants) relative to all of the FinServ public shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of FinServ public shares generally will be treated as a sale of the FinServ public shares (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) results in a “complete termination” of your interest in FinServ, (ii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to you or (iii) is a “substantially disproportionate redemption” with respect to you. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, you must take into account not only FinServ shares actually owned by you, but also FinServ shares that are constructively owned by you. You may constructively own, in addition to shares owned directly, shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which you have an interest or that have an interest in you, as well as any shares you have a right to acquire by exercise of an option (such as FinServ publicly traded warrants). There will be a complete termination of your interest if either (i) all of the FinServ shares actually and constructively owned by you are redeemed or (ii) all of the FinServ shares actually owned by you are redeemed and you are eligible to waive, and do effectively waive in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of shares owned by certain family members and you do not constructively own any other FinServ shares and you otherwise comply with specific conditions. Whether the redemption will be considered “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to you will depend upon your particular circumstances. The redemption of FinServ public shares generally will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if your redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of your proportionate interest in FinServ (including constructive ownership). Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in your proportionate interest in FinServ will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest (including constructive ownership) of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over its corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” In order to meet the “substantially disproportionate” test, the percentage of outstanding FinServ shares actually and constructively owned by you immediately following the redemption of the FinServ public shares must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of the outstanding FinServ shares actually and constructively owned by you immediately before the redemption. You are urged to consult with your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then the redemption proceeds generally will be treated as a corporate distribution and the tax effects generally will be as described under “— Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions,” below. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis you have in the redeemed FinServ public shares will be added to your adjusted tax basis in your remaining FinServ shares, or, if you have none, to your adjusted tax basis in FinServ publicly traded warrants held by you or possibly in other FinServ public shares constructively owned by you. If you hold different blocks of FinServ public shares (generally, shares of FinServ purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices), you should consult your tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to you.

Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions

If the redemption of your FinServ public shares does not qualify as a sale of FinServ public shares, you generally will be treated as receiving a distribution from FinServ. You generally will be required to include in gross income as dividends the amount of proceeds received in connection with such a redemption to the extent the distribution is paid out of FinServ’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will be treated as a return of

169

Table of Contents

capital that will be applied against and reduce your basis in your shares (but not below zero), with any remaining excess treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares as described below under “— Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale of FinServ public shares.”

If you are a corporate U.S. Holder, dividends paid by FinServ to you may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations so long as you satisfy the holding period requirement for the dividends-received deduction.

If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, under tax laws currently in effect, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate so long as you satisfy the holding period requirement of at least 60 days which begins within a certain number of days before the ex-dividend date and certain other requirements are met.

However, it is possible that because of the redemption rights associated with the FinServ public shares, the holding period of such shares may not be considered to begin until the date of such redemption (and thus it is possible that holding period requirements will not be met as a result).

If you hold different blocks of FinServ public shares (generally, shares of FinServ purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices), you should consult your tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to you.

Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale or Exchange of FinServ public shares

If a redemption of your FinServ public shares qualifies as a sale of FinServ public shares, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash received in the redemption and (ii) your adjusted tax basis in the FinServ public shares so redeemed.

Any such capital gain or loss may be long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period for the FinServ public shares so disposed of exceeds one (1) year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders generally will be eligible for taxation at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

However, it is possible that because of the redemption rights associated with the FinServ public shares, the holding period of such shares may not be considered to begin until the date of such redemption (and thus it is possible that long-term capital gain or loss treatment may not apply as a result).

If you hold different blocks of FinServ public shares (generally, shares of FinServ purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices), you should consult your tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to you.

Tax Consequences for Non-U.S. Holders

The discussion below applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. Holder” (as defined above) of FinServ public shares that exercises the redemption rights described above under “Special Meeting of Stockholders — Redemption Rights” with respect to your FinServ public shares.

Treatment of Redemption

If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of your FinServ public shares generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. Holder’s FinServ public shares, as described above under “Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders — Treatment of Redemption.”

Non-U.S. Holders considering exercising their redemption rights are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption of their FinServ public shares will be treated as a distribution, or as a sale, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Taxation of Redemptions Treated as Distributions

If the redemption of your FinServ public shares does not qualify as a sale or exchange of FinServ public shares, you generally will be treated as receiving a distribution from FinServ, which distribution generally will be treated as a dividend to the extent the distribution is paid out of FinServ’s current or accumulated earnings and

170

Table of Contents

profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). The gross amount of such dividends generally will be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless you are eligible for a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty and provide proper certification of your eligibility for such reduced rate. Dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct by you of a trade or business in the United States (and are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base if an applicable treaty so requires) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. Holder (and generally will not be subject to such withholding tax, provided that certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied) and, if you are a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will be treated as a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce your basis in your shares (but not below zero), with any remaining excess treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares as described under “— Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale or Exchange of FinServ public shares” below.

If you hold different blocks of FinServ public shares (generally, shares of FinServ purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices), you should consult your tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to you.

Gain or Loss on Redemptions Treated as a Sale or Exchange of FinServ public shares

Subject to the discussions of backup withholding and FATCA below, if the redemption of your FinServ public shares qualifies as a sale or exchange of such shares, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized on such redemption unless:

• such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by you of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that you maintain in the United States), in which case you generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such gain at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. Holder and, if you are a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate;

• you are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the redemption and certain other conditions are met, in which case you generally will be subject to a 30% tax on your net capital gain for the year; or

• FinServ is or has been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five (5) year period ending on the date of the redemption or the period during which you held FinServ public shares, and, in the case where FinServ public shares are considered regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose, you have owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of FinServ shares at any time within the shorter of such five (5) year period or your holding period for FinServ public shares. FinServ does not believe that it is or has been a U.S. real property holding corporation.

If you hold different blocks of FinServ public shares (generally, shares of FinServ purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices), you should consult your tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to you.

All holders of FinServ public shares are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of a redemption of FinServ public shares in their particular circumstances, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of the alternative minimum tax, any U.S. federal tax laws, including those other than those pertaining to income tax (including estate and gift tax laws), and any state, local, non-U.S. or other tax laws.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Proceeds received in connection with a redemption of FinServ public shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and U.S. backup withholding. Copies of information returns may be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax

171

Table of Contents

treaty. Backup withholding generally will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status. A Non-U.S. Holder generally will eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a holder generally may claim a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

FAT C A

Provisions of the Code (Sections 1471 through 1474) commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of thirty percent (30%) on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends received pursuant to a redemption of stock) on FinServ public shares. Thirty percent (30%) withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends beginning on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

In general, no FATCA withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. Holder or an individual Non-U.S. Holder that timely provides the certifications required on a valid IRS Form W-9 or W-8BEN, respectively. Holders potentially subject to withholding include “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and generally includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in, or accounts with, those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally will be entitled to a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on a redemption of FinServ public shares.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW KATAPULT CAPITAL STOCK

As a result of the merger, Katapult stockholders who receive shares of New Katapult common stock in the merger will become stockholders of New Katapult. Your rights as New Katapult stockholders will be governed by Delaware law and New Katapult’s Proposed Charter and amended and restated bylaws. The following summary of the material terms of our securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. We urge you to read the applicable provisions of Delaware law and New Katapult’s Proposed Charter and form of amended and restated bylaws carefully and in their entirety because they describe your rights as a holder of shares of New Katapult common stock.

In connection with the merger, FinServ will amend and restate its Existing Charter and bylaws. The following is a description of the material terms of, and is qualified in its entirety by, New Katapult’s Proposed Charter and form of amended and restated bylaws, the forms of which are included as Annex B and Annex C, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus, and each of which will be in effect upon the consummation of the merger.

New Katapult’s purpose is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL. Upon the consummation of the merger, New Katapult’s authorized capital stock will consist of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. No shares of preferred stock will be issued or outstanding immediately after the merger. Unless New Katapult’s board of directors determines otherwise, New Katapult will issue all shares of its capital stock in uncertificated form.

Common Stock

Holders of New Katapult common stock are entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters properly submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election or removal of directors. Unless specified in the Proposed Charter or amended and restated bylaws, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at any meeting of the New Katapult stockholders at which there is a quorum is required to approve any such matter voted on by its stockholders. New Katapult’s board of directors is divided into three (3) classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three (3) years with only one (1) class of directors being elected each year. Our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the voting shares are able to elect all of the directors. Stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends, if any, as may be declared from time-to-time by our Board out of legally available assets or funds.

As of the First Effective Time, New Katapult will have shares of New Katapult common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value available for issuance. After giving effect to the merger, it is expected that New Katapult will have approximately million shares of common stock outstanding (assuming no redemptions and based on the value of the Trust Account on , 2021).

Redeemable Warrants

The warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between CST, as warrant agent, and FinServ (the “Warrant Agreement”). The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of warrants.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified check payable to New Katapult or by wire transfer, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrantholders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of New Katapult common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of New Katapult common stock. After the issuance of shares of New Katapult common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

173

Table of Contents

In addition, if (x) New Katapult issues additional shares of New Katapult common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial business combination at a Newly Issued Price of less than $9.20 per share of New Katapult common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by New Katapult’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial business combination on the date of the consummation of the initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the Market Value is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, New Katapult will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Katapult common stock to be issued to the warrantholder.

Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one (1) whole share of New Katapult common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of New Katapult common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrantholder. Only whole warrants are traded. The warrants will expire five (5) years after the completion of the initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

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

New Katapult has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial business combination, New Katapult will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of New Katapult common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of New Katapult common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of New Katapult common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial business combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when New Katapult will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the New Katapult common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of the initial business combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when New Katapult shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, as amended, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Once the warrants become exercisable, New Katapult may call the warrants for redemption:

• in whole and not in part;

• at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

174

Table of Contents

• upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrantholder; and

• if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the New Katapult common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three (3) business days before New Katapult sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable, New Katapult may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares of New Katapult common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or New Katapult are unable to effect such registration or qualification.

New Katapult established the last of the redemption criteria discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is, at the time of the call, a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and New Katapult issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrantholder is entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the New Katapult common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

If New Katapult calls the warrants for redemption as described above, New Katapult’s management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” management will consider, among other factors, New Katapult’s cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on its stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of New Katapult common stock issuable upon the exercise of New Katapult’s warrants. If New Katapult’s management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of New Katapult common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of New Katapult common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the New Katapult common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If New Katapult’s management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of New Katapult common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. New Katapult believes this feature is an attractive option to it if it does not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after the initial business combination. If New Katapult calls its warrants for redemption and its management does not take advantage of this option, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrantholders would have been required to use had all warrantholders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

A holder of a warrant may notify New Katapult in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that, to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of New Katapult common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

If the number of outstanding shares of New Katapult common stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of New Katapult common stock, or by a split-up of shares of New Katapult common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of New Katapult common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of New Katapult common stock. A rights offering to holders of New Katapult common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of New Katapult common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of New Katapult common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of New Katapult common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for New Katapult common stock) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of New Katapult common stock paid in such rights

175

Table of Contents

offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for New Katapult common stock, in determining the price payable for New Katapult common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of New Katapult common stock as reported during 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of New Katapult common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if New Katapult, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities, or other assets to the holders of New Katapult common stock on account of such shares of New Katapult common stock (or other shares of New Katapult’s capital stock into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of New Katapult common stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of New Katapult common stock in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Existing Charter (i) to modify the substance or timing of New Katapult’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its New Katapult common stock if it does not complete the initial business combination within the timeframe set forth in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, or (e) in connection with the redemption of New Katapult’s common stock upon its failure to complete the initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of New Katapult common stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of New Katapult common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of New Katapult common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of New Katapult common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of New Katapult common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of New Katapult common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of New Katapult common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of New Katapult common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of New Katapult common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of New Katapult common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which New Katapult is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of its outstanding shares of New Katapult common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which New Katapult are dissolved, the warrantholders will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of New Katapult common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of New Katapult common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of New Katapult common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within 30 days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to warrantholders when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the warrantholders otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants in order to determine and

176

Table of Contents

realize the option value component of the warrant. This formula is to compensate the warrantholder for the loss of the option value portion of the warrant due to the requirement that the warrantholder exercise the warrant within 30 days of the event. The Black-Scholes model is an accepted pricing model for estimating fair market value where no quoted market price for an instrument is available.

Annual Stockholder Meetings

New Katapult’s amended and restated bylaws will provide that annual stockholder meetings will be held at a date, time and place, if any, as exclusively selected by New Katapult’s board of directors. To the extent permitted under applicable law, New Katapult may conduct meetings by means of remote communication.

Anti-Takeover Effects of New Katapult’s Proposed Charter and Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

New Katapult’s Proposed Charter and amended and restated bylaws will contain and the DGCL contains provisions, as summarized in the following paragraphs that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of New Katapult’s board of directors. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce New Katapult’s vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of New Katapult’s board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire New Katapult. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter, or prevent a merger or acquisition of New Katapult by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of New Katapult common stock held by stockholders.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares.

However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which would apply so long as the common stock remains listed on the Nasdaq, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then-outstanding voting power of New Katapult’s capital stock or the-then outstanding number of shares of common stock. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

New Katapult’s board of directors may generally issue preferred shares on terms calculated to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of New Katapult or the removal of its management. Moreover, New Katapult’s authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate acquisitions and employee benefit plans.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved New Katapult common stock or preferred stock may be to enable New Katapult’s board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of New Katapult by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of New Katapult’s management and possibly deprive New Katapult’s stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of New Katapult common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Classified Board of Directors

The Proposed Charter provides that New Katapult’s board of directors are classified into three (3) classes of directors, with the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible, and with each director serving a three (3) year term. As a result, approximately one-third (1/3) of New Katapult’s board of directors will be elected each year. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of New Katapult’s board of directors. The Proposed Charter and amended and restated bylaws provide that, subject to any rights of holders of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors will be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the board of directors.

Business Combinations

New Katapult is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. This statute prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:

• a stockholder who owns 20% or more of New Katapult’s outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);

• an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

• an associate of an interested stockholder, for three (3) years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of New Katapult’s assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

• New Katapult’s board of directors approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder, prior to the date of the transaction;”

• after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of New Katapult’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or

• on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the initial business combination is approved by New Katapult’s board of directors and authorized at a meeting of New Katapult’s stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

Removal of Directors; Vacancies

Under the DGCL, and as provided in New Katapult’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a director serving on a classified board may be removed by the stockholders only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority in voting power of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. In addition, the Proposed Charter provides that any newly created directorship on the board of directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the board of directors will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders) even if less than a quorum.

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the amended and restated certificate of incorporation specifically authorizes cumulative voting. The Proposed Charter and the restated bylaws do not authorize cumulative voting.

Special Stockholder Meetings

The Proposed Charter provides that special meetings of New Katapult’s stockholders may be called at any time only by or at the direction of the chief executive officer, the board of directors or the chairperson of the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the board of directors. New Katapult’s amended and restated bylaws provide that the business transacted at a special meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the notice for such meeting. These provisions may have the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile takeovers, or changes in control or management of New Katapult.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals

New Katapult’s amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors. In order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder must comply with advance notice requirements and provide New Katapult

178

Table of Contents

with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at New Katapult’s principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. New Katapult’s amended and restated bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. New Katapult’s amended and restated bylaws allow the board to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings as it deems appropriate which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay, or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of New Katapult.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, New Katapult’s stockholders have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of New Katapult. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

Under the DGCL, any of New Katapult’s stockholders may bring an action in New Katapult’s name to procure a judgment in New Katapult’s favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of New Katapult’s shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

Exclusive Forum

The Proposed Charter provides that unless New Katapult consents to the selection of an alternative forum, any (1) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Katapult, (2) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of New Katapult or its stockholders, (3) action asserting a claim against the Proposed Charter or New Katapult’s amended and restated bylaws, (4) action asserting a claim against New Katapult, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine and (5) any action asserting an “internal corporate claim” as such term is defined in Section 115 of the DGCL, and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel except (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within 10 days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act. However, the Proposed Charter notes that the exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The Proposed Charter further provides that unless New Katapult consents to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The Proposed Charter provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any security of New Katapult will be deemed to have notice of and consented to the exclusive forum provision.

Conflicts of Interest

Delaware law permits corporations to adopt provisions renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the corporation or its officers, directors, or stockholders. The Proposed Charter, to the extent allowed by Delaware law, renounces any interest or expectancy that New Katapult has in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities that are from time to time presented to New Katapult’s officers, directors or their respective affiliates in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have, and New Katapult renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of the Corporation will offer any such corporate opportunity of which they may become aware to New Katapult, except with respect to any of the directors or officers of New Katapult regarding a corporate opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director

179

Table of Contents

or officer of New Katapult and (i) such opportunity is one New Katapult is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for it to pursue and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to New Katapult without violating any legal obligation.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Proposed Charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of New Katapult and its stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on New Katapult’s behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation does not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director.

New Katapult’s amended and restated bylaws provide that New Katapult must indemnify and advance expenses to New Katapult’s directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL and, to the extent reasonably available, shall carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for New Katapult’s directors, officers, employees and agents for certain liabilities. New Katapult also is expressly authorized to enter into contract with such persons providing indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the board of directors so determines, greater than, those provided in the amended and restated bylaws. New Katapult believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in the Proposed Charter and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.

These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit New Katapult and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent New Katapult pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving New Katapult’s directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — Katapult

Other than compensation arrangements for Katapult’s directors and executive officers, which are described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the following describes transactions since January 1, 2020, and each currently proposed transaction in which:

• Katapult has been or is to be a participant;

• the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and

• any of Katapult’s directors or executive officers that are expected to continue as directors or executive officers following the Business Combination or holders of more than 5% of Katapult’s capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or material interest.

Grants of Restricted Stock

In August 2020, Katapult granted Orlando Zayas, Derek Medlin and Karissa Cupito an aggregate of 17,500,000 restricted shares of Katapult’s common stock. Such shares vest only upon a Liquidation Event, which is generally defined as any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Katapult (including a consolidation, stock exchange, or merger with another company), a business combination transaction between Katapult and a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, for the purpose of taking Katapult public, or an initial public offering. The number of shares that vest will depend upon the achieved liquidation price per common share (or, in the case of an initial public offering, the per common share offering price) and is contingent upon the recipient’s continuous employment with Katapult through such liquidation event. In connection with the closing of the merger, Katapult expects 15% of such shares (i.e., 2,625,000 shares) to vest and the remaining 85% of such shares (i.e., 14,875,000 shares) to be permanently forfeited.

Consent and Support Agreements

Concurrent with the execution of the merger agreement, Orlando Zayas, Karissa Cupito, Derek Medlin, CURO Financial Technologies Corp. (“CURO”), Blumberg Capital III, L.P. (“Blumberg”), and Tribeca Venture Fund I (NY), L.P. and Tribeca Venture Fund I, L.P. (collectively, “Tribeca”), or the supporting holders, executed a written consent pursuant to which all of Katapult’s issued and outstanding preferred stock will be converted prior to the merger into shares of Katapult common stock in accordance with the Katapult charter. Katapult also entered into support agreements with the supporting holders, pursuant to which the supporting holders, among other things, agreed to vote their respective equity securities in Katapult in favor of the merger agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. The support agreements entered into by CURO and Tribeca grant such supporting holders certain consent rights with respect to, among other things, amendments to, and Katapult’s ability to terminate or waive conditions under, the merger agreement. Pursuant to the merger agreement, each of CURO, Blumberg and Tribeca have the right to nominate initial board members of New Katapult and, pursuant to the merger agreement and CURO’s support agreement, so long as CURO owns at least 10% of the issued and outstanding New Katapult common stock, CURO shall have the right to re-nominate the director selected as its initial Class I director upon the expiration of such director’s initial term.

Management Allocation Letter

Concurrent with the execution of the merger agreement, Orlando Zayas, Karissa Cupito, Derek Medlin, other members of Katapult management (collectively, “Katapult Management”), CURO, Blumberg and Tribeca entered into a letter agreement that provides, among other things, that notwithstanding the requirement that the allocation of cash consideration, stock consideration and earn-out shares as set forth in the merger agreement be the same ratio paid to each Pre-Closing Holder (as defined in the merger agreement), CURO, Blumberg and Tribeca agree to re-allocate cash consideration payable to Katapult Management to the extent necessary to offset potential negative tax implications.

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. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. 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 c/o Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, to inform us of his or her request; or

• If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the stockholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
FinServ Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of FinServ Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows, for the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

FinServ Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 9, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on companies in the financial services industry or businesses providing technology services to the financial industry. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The registration statements for the Company’s Initial Public Offering were declared effective on October 31, 2019. On November 5, 2019, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriter of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 665,000 units (each, a “Placement Unit” and collectively, the “Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, FinServ Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,650,000, which is described in Note 4.

Offering costs amounted to $14,267,762, consisting of $4,400,000 of underwriting fees, $9,350,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $517,762 of other offering costs. In addition, at December 31, 2019, cash of $1,578,075 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on November 5, 2019, an amount of $250,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

DECEMBER 31, 2019

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares, Placement Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (i) that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by November 5, 2021 (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging growth company

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

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

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

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2019, cash equivalents, consisting of money market funds, amounted to $1,556,055.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2019, the assets held in the Trust Account were invested in money market funds, meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act.

Common stock subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2019, 23,770,019 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Offering costs

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $14,267,762 were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Income taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2019. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Net income (loss) per common share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 12,832,500 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common shares subject to redemption using the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account of $567,358 (net of applicable franchise and income taxes of approximately $182,000 for the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019), by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock of 25,000,000 shares since issuance. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock includes the Founder Shares and the Placement Units as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. At December 31, 2019, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Financial instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 25,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 665,000 Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,650,000. Each Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock (“Placement Share” or, collectively, “Placement Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Placement Warrant” or collectively, “Placement Warrants”). Each whole Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Placement Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On August 9, 2019, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 7.

On October 31, 2019, the Company effected a 1.1 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,325,000 Founder Shares. The 6,325,000 Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 825,000 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and excluding the Placement Shares). In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the forfeiture of the remaining over-allotment option, 75,000 Founder Shares were forfeited and 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture resulting in an aggregate of 6,250,000 Founder Shares outstanding at December 31, 2019.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Advances from Related Party

The Sponsor advanced the Company funds to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. These advances were non-interest bearing and payable upon demand. Advances totaling $230,350 were repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on November 5, 2019.

Related Party Loans

On August 9, 2019, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 30, 2020 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The borrowings outstanding under the Promissory Note of $282,244 were repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on November 5, 2019.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units upon consummation of the Business Combination at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Placement Units.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on the November 5, 2019 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company will pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. For the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, the Company incurred $18,387 in fees for these services, of which such amount is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.

Consulting Agreement

The Company entered into a consulting agreement with a related party, pursuant to which the consultant will provide the Company, among other services, assistance in finding a potential target for a Business Combination, as well as supervising and performing due diligence on such targets. The Company will pay the consultant a fee of $10,000 per month, up to a maximum of $150,000. For the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, the Company incurred $22,500 in such fees, of which $10,000 is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on November 5, 2019, the holders of the Founder Shares, Placement Units (including securities contained therein) and Units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants and any shares of Class A common stock and warrants (and underlying Class A common stock) that may be issued upon conversion of units issued as part of the Working Capital Loans and Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares, will be entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $4,400,000, or $0.20 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 22,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, in the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.35 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 22,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $7,700,000, and (ii) $0.55 per Unit of the gross proceeds from the 3,000,000 Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $1,650,000, aggregating to a deferred fee of $9,350,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2019, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2019, there were 1,894,891 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 23,770,019 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2019, there were 6,250,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Placement Units) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

• in whole and not in part;

• at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

• upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable; and

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

• if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the shares of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Income tax provision |  | $ | 102,450 |

As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income.

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, the change in the valuation allowance was $19,413.

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the period from August 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Statutory federal income tax rate |  | 21.0 | %
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit |  | 0.0 | %
Change in valuation allowance |  | 4.9 | %
Income tax provision |  | 25.9 | %

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction in various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

|  | Level 1: |  | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: |  | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: |  | Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2019 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Description |  | Level |  | December 31, 2019

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued.

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

FinServ Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 9, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on companies in the financial services industry or businesses providing technology services to the financial industry. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The registration statements for the Company’s Initial Public Offering were declared effective on October 31, 2019. On November 5, 2019, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriter of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 665,000 units (each, a “Placement Unit” and collectively, the “Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, FinServ Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,650,000, which is described in Note 4.

Offering costs amounted to $14,267,762, consisting of $4,400,000 of underwriting fees, $9,350,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $517,762 of other offering costs. In addition, at September 30, 2020, cash of $1,179,883 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on November 5, 2019, an amount of $250,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares, Placement Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (i) that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by November 5, 2021 (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations

(less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Going Concern

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until November 5, 2021 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 5, 2021.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2020, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2019 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

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

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, cash equivalents, consisting of money market funds, amounted to $1,133,230 and $1,556,055, respectively.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the assets held in the Trust Account were invested in money market funds, meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company withdrew $405,888 of interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for its franchise and income taxes.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 23,803,744 and 23,770,019 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively, presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $14,267,762 were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately $109,000 and $19,000, respectively, which had a full valuation allowance recorded against it of approximately $109,000 and $19,000, respectively.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The Company’s currently taxable income primarily consists of interest income on the Trust Account. The Company’s general and administrative costs are generally considered start-up costs and are not currently deductible. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded income tax benefit (expense) of approximately $8,000 and ($202,600), respectively, primarily related to interest income earned on the Trust Account. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately 5% and 38%, which differs from the expected income tax rate due to the start-up costs (discussed above) which are not currently deductible.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 12,832,500 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account of $9,760 and $1,114,757 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively (net of applicable franchise and income taxes of approximately $10,000 and $353,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively), by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock of 25,000,000 shares outstanding for the periods. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the periods. Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock includes the Founder Shares and the Placement Units as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 25,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 665,000 Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,650,000. Each Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock (“Placement Share” or, collectively, “Placement Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Placement Warrant” or collectively, “Placement Warrants”). Each whole Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Placement Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On August 9, 2019, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 7.

On October 31, 2019, the Company effected a 1.1 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,325,000 Founder Shares. The 6,325,000 Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 825,000 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and excluding the Placement Shares). In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the forfeiture of the remaining over-allotment option, 75,000 Founder Shares were forfeited and 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture resulting in an aggregate of 6,250,000 Founder Shares outstanding at December 31, 2019.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on

which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Advances from Related Party

The Sponsor advanced the Company funds to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. These advances were non-interest bearing and payable upon demand. Advances totaling $230,350 were repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on November 5, 2019.

Related Party Loans

On August 9, 2019, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 30, 2020 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The borrowings outstanding under the Promissory Note of $282,244 were repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on November 5, 2019.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units upon consummation of the Business Combination at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Placement Units.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on November 5, 2019 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, the Company will pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000, respectively, in fees for these services, of which $397 and $18,387 are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Consulting Agreement

The Company entered into a consulting agreement with a related party, pursuant to which the consultant will provide the Company, among other services, assistance in finding a potential target for a Business Combination, as well as supervising and performing due diligence on such targets. The Company will pay the consultant a fee of $10,000 per month, up to a maximum of $150,000. On May 15, 2020, the Company amended the consulting agreement whereby the monthly fee was reduced to $7,500, commencing on June 1, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $15,000 and $80,000, respectively, in such fees. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $10,000 of such fees was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. On October 1, 2020 the Company further amended the agreement to increase the fee back to $10,000 per month.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on November 5, 2019, the holders of the Founder Shares, Placement Units (including securities contained therein) and Units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants and any shares of Class A common stock and warrants (and underlying Class A common stock) that may be issued upon conversion of units issued as part of the Working Capital Loans and Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares, will be entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $4,400,000, or $0.20 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 22,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, in the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.35 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 22,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $7,700,000, and (ii) $0.55 per Unit of the gross proceeds from the 3,000,000 Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $1,650,000, aggregating to a deferred fee of $9,350,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (not including the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Placement Units) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

• in whole and not in part;

• at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

• upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable; and

• if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the shares of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

If the Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

|  | Level 1: |  | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: |  | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: |  | Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Description |  | Level |  | September 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Marketable securities held in Trust Account – U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund |  | 1 |  | $ | 251,276,227 |  | $ | 250,567,358

NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up November 12, 2020, the date that the condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and Board of Directors of Katapult Holdings, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Katapult Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Katapult Holdings Inc. (“Katapult”), formerly known as Cognical Holdings, Inc., is an e-commerce focused financial technology company offering e-commerce point-of-sale (“POS”) lease-purchase options for nonprime US consumers. Katapult’s fully-digital, technology platform provides nonprime consumers with a flexible lease purchase option to enable them to obtain durable goods from Katapult’s network of e-commerce retailers. The Company’s end-to-end technology platform provides seamless integration with merchants.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Katapult and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together, “the Company”), which are Katapult Group, Inc. (formerly known as Cognical, Inc.), Katapult SPV-1 LLC, Cognical SPV-3 LLC, and Cognical SPV-4 LLC. Cognical SPV-3 LLC originates all of the Company’s lease agreements with its customers and own all of the leased property through April 2019. Katapult SPV-1 LLC originate all of the Company’s lease agreements thereafter. Cognical SPV-4 LLC has halted the origination of new leases on behalf of a third-party retailer, however the Company still services activity from existing leases under this entity.

The Company is headquartered in New York, New York. Katapult was incorporated in Delaware in 2016. Katapult Group, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2012, which is also when the consolidated entity was founded. Cognical SPV-3 LLC, Cognical SPV-4 LLC, and Katapult SPV-1 LLC are all Delaware limited liability companies formed in Delaware in 2016, 2017, and 2019, respectively. In February 2020, Cognical Holdings, Inc. officially changed its name to Katapult Holdings, Inc. Additionally, in February 2020, Cognical, Inc. officially changed its name to Katapult Group, Inc.

Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Katapult Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There is no difference between net loss and comprehensive loss for each of the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties — The Company is subject to a number of risks including, but not limited to, the need for successful development of products, the need for additional capital (or financing) to fund operating losses, competition from substitute products and services from larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, patent litigation, dependence on key individuals, and risks associated with changes in information technology.

Going Concern — In accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern, management evaluates whether there are conditions that are known or reasonably knowable, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. The assessment of the Company’s ability to meet future obligations is inherently judgmental, subjective and susceptible to change. The assessment considers information including, but not limited to, the Company’s financial condition, liquidity sources, obligations coming due within one year after the consolidated financial statements are issued, funds necessary to maintain current operations and any negative financial trends or other indicators of possible financial difficulty. The Company has experienced recurring operating losses and net cash outflows from operations since inception, which may inhibit the Company’s ability to fund normal business operations in the future.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and restricted cash of $12,246. On December 2, 2020, the Company repaid all outstanding principal and interest balances related to its second non-revolving line of credit, which amounted to $16,263. On December 4, 2020, the Company repaid all outstanding principal and interest balances related to its long-term debt with a related party, which amounted to $7,657.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

On September 28, 2020, the Company successfully negotiated an increase to its first revolving line of credit facility from $75,000 to $125,000, as discussed in Footnote 7.

In addition, on December 4, 2020, the Company entered into the ninth amendment to its first revolving line of credit facility. The amendment provided the Company with a senior secured term loan facility of up to $50,000. The Company drew down the full $50,000 of this term loan on December 4, 2020.

The Company believes that its cash as of December 31, 2019, the increase to available liquid funds resulting from the first revolving line of credit facility, plus the net proceeds from the senior secured term loan facility as noted above, will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. Therefore, the conditions that previously raised substantial doubt have been alleviated.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, the selection of useful lives of property and equipment, the selection of useful lives for property held for lease and the related depreciation method, intangible assets and associated useful lives, determination of fair value of the Company’s common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock, determination of fair value of stock option grants, and the fair value of the common stock warrants, and the valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Information — Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. The Company has one business activity and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company has one operating segment, and therefore, one reportable segment.

Cash — Cash is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, cash consists primarily of checking and savings deposits. The Company does not hold any cash equivalents, which would consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Restricted Cash — The Company classifies all cash whose use is limited by contractual provisions as restricted cash. Restricted cash consists primarily of cash advanced from the lines of credit in Cognical SPV-4 LLC and Katapult SPV-1 LLC, which were established pursuant to various agreements for the purpose of funding and servicing originated leases. All of the Company’s restricted cash is classified as current due to its short-term nature.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The reconciliation of cash and restricted cash is as follows:

|  |  |  | December 31,
|  | 2019 |  | 2018
Reconciliation of cash and restricted cash: |  |  |  |  |  |
Cash |  | $ | 7,507 |  | $ | 1,469
Restricted cash |  |  | 4,739 |  |  | 1,493
Total cash and restricted cash |  | $ | 12,246 |  | $ | 2,962

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable consist primarily of lease receivables due from customers incurred during the normal course of business for lease payments earned not yet received from the customer. On a periodic basis, management evaluates its accounts receivable and determines whether to provide an allowance or if any accounts should be written off based on past history of write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for uncollected amounts based on historical collection experience and an analysis of the aging of receivables per the following categories: 1-30 days, 31-60 days, 61-90 days. This analysis results in the determination of loss rate percentages that are applied to outstanding receivables in each of these categories as of period end. The Company writes off accounts receivables that are over 90 days contractually past due. Bad debt expense is classified in cost of revenue within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company generally does not require any security or collateral to support its receivables.

A rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:

|  |  |  | Balance at beginning of period |  | Charged to cost and expenses, net of recoveries |  | Write-offs |  | Balance at end of period
Year ended December 31, 2018 |  | $ | 202 |  | $ | 4,281 |  | (3,374 | ) |  | $ | 1,109
Year ended December 31, 2019 |  | $ | 1,109 |  |  | 9,163 |  | (8,417 | ) |  | $ | 1,855

Property Held for Lease, Net — Property held for lease consists of furniture, consumer electronics, appliances, and other durable goods offered for lease-purchase in the normal course of business. Such property is provided to consumers pursuant to a lease-purchase agreement with a minimum term; typically one week, two weeks, or one month. The contemplated length of the agreement is typically 12 or 18 months. Consumers may terminate a lease agreement at any time without penalty by returning the property. The average consumer continues to lease the property for 7 months because the consumer either exercises the buyout options or returns the items prior to the end of the 12 or 18 month lease term. As a result, property held for lease is classified as a current asset on the consolidated balance sheets.

Property held for lease is carried at net book value. Depreciation for property held for lease is generally provided using the income forecasting method and is included within cost of revenue. Under the income forecasting method, property held for lease is depreciated in the proportion of rents received to total expected rents received based on historical data, which is an activity-based method similar to the units of production method. The Company provides for impairment for the undepreciated balance of the property held for lease assuming no salvage value with a corresponding charge to cost of revenue. Impairment expense includes expense related to property identified as impaired based on historical data, including default trends, such that the recorded amount closely approximates actual impairment expense incurred during the period. The Company derecognizes the undepreciated net book value of property buyouts as buyouts occur with a corresponding charge to cost of revenue. The Company periodically evaluates fully depreciated property held for lease, net. When it is determined there is no future economic benefit, the related assets and accumulated depreciation are written-off.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Property and Equipment, Net — Property and equipment not related to the revenue generating process are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method and are recorded in general and administrative expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are described below:

|  | Property and Equipment |  | Useful Life
Computer, office and other equipment |  | 5 years
Computer software |  | 3 years
Furniture and fixtures |  | 7 years
Leasehold improvements |  | Shorter of estimated useful life or remaining lease term

Intangible Assets — The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of the Company’s branding logo and domain name and were determined to be indefinite-lived. Intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Company’s impairment of long-lived assets policy.

Debt Issuance Costs — Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Company’s line of credit and long-term debt have been recorded as a direct reduction against the debt and amortized over the life of the associated debt as a component of interest expense using the straight-line method, which is not materially different compared to the effective interest method.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Long-lived assets, such as intangible assets and property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment charges have been recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Classification of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock — The Company has applied the guidance in ASC 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities and has therefore classified the Series A, A-1, A-2, B, B-1, B-2, and C redeemable convertible preferred stock as temporary equity. The redeemable convertible preferred stock was recorded outside of stockholders’ deficit because, in the event of certain deemed liquidation events considered not solely within the Company’s control, such as a merger, acquisition and sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the convertible preferred stock would have become redeemable at the option of the holders. In the event of a change of control of the Company, proceeds received from the sale of such shares will be distributed in accordance with the liquidation preferences set forth in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated.

Rental Revenue — Property held for lease is leased to customers pursuant to lease purchase agreements which provide for weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly lease terms with non-refundable lease payments. Generally, the customer has the right to acquire title either through a 90-day promotional pricing option, an early purchase option, or through payments of all required lease payments, generally 12 to 18 months, for ownership. On any current lease, customers have the option to cancel the agreement at any time without penalty in accordance with lease terms and return the property held for lease. Accordingly, customer agreements are accounted for as operating leases with lease revenues recognized in the month they are earned.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Amounts received from the sale of leased property on which customers elect purchase options are included in rental revenue, when earned. Lease payments received prior to their due dates are deferred and recorded as Unearned revenue, and are recognized as revenue in the period in which the revenue is earned. Revenues from leases and sales are reported net of sales taxes. Rental revenue also includes agreed-upon charges assessed to customer lease applications. Payments are received upon submission of the applications. Services are considered to be rendered and revenue earned at a point in time, which is upon completion of the Company’s review of the applications and execution of the lease purchase agreements. The Company also may assess fees for missed or late payments, which are recognized as revenue in the billing period in which they are assessed if collectability is reasonably assured.

Other Revenue — Other revenue consists of sub-lease revenue and revenue from merchant partnerships.

Service Fees — Cognical SPV-4 LLC executed leases in association with a third-party retailer and the Company services these leases for a contractually determined fee. Service fees are earned based upon application and origination volume, as well as rendering collection services over the life of the lease. These fees are accrued for in the month the services are rendered and are included in service fees if collectability is reasonably assured. This revenue is recognized at a point in time, which is the date the service is performed. Cost of acquisition is 1.5% of the leased good, payable to a third party. This cost is accounted for in general and administrative expense.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company measures and records compensation expense related to stock-based awards based on the fair value of those awards as determined on the date of the grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grant, generally equal to the vesting period and uses the straight-line method to recognize stock-based compensation. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of stock options awards. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires estimates of highly subjective assumptions, which affect the fair value of each stock option. Forfeitures are accounted for as they are incurred.

The Company calculates the fair value of stock options granted to employees by using the following assumptions:

Expected Volatility — The Company estimates volatility for stock option grants by evaluating the average historical volatility of a peer group of companies for the period immediately preceding the stock option grant for a term that is approximately equal to the stock options’ expected term.

Expected Term — The expected term of the Company’s stock options represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company has elected to use the midpoint of the stock options vesting term and contractual expiration period to compute the expected term, as the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior.

Risk-Free Interest Rate — The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on US Treasury zero-coupon issues with a term that is equal to the stock options’ expected term at the grant date.

Dividend Yield — The Company has not declared or paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring dividends. As such, the dividend yield has been estimated to be zero.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on all available positive and negative evidence. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the local taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the related tax authority. The changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions.

The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes.

Net Loss Per Share — The Company calculated basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders using the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. The Company considers the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock to be a participating security as the holders were entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends on a pari passu basis in the event that a dividend is paid on common stock, in addition to an 8% dividend per annum prior to any dividend distributions to common stockholders.

Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share available to common shareholders was calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The net loss available to common shareholders was not allocated to the redeemable convertible preferred stock as the holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock did not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. Diluted net loss per share available to common shareholders was computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. For purposes of this calculation, redeemable convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants to purchase common stock were considered common stock equivalents but had been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share available to common shareholders as their effect was anti-dilutive. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss available to common shareholders, diluted net loss per share available to common shareholders is the same as basic net loss per share available to common shareholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss available to common shareholders for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Fair Value Measurements — Fair value accounting is applied for all assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company follows the established framework for measuring fair value.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, non-revolving line of credit, revolving line of credit, and long term debt. Account receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date. The consolidated financial statements also include fair value level 3 measurements of additional paid-in capital for stock warrants. Refer to Note 10 for further discussion of stock warrants.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s non-revolving line of credit, revolving line of credit, and long term debt were as follows:

|  |  |  | December 31, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
|  | Principal amount |  | Carrying amount |  | Fair value |  | Principal amount |  | Carrying amount |  | Fair value
Non-revolving line of credit, related parties |  | $ | 16,000 |  | $ | 15,803 |  | $ | 18,267 |  | $ | 26,403 |  | $ | 26,318 |  | $ | 26,635
Revolving line of credit |  |  | 40,280 |  |  | 39,698 |  |  | 37,321 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | —
Long term debt |  |  | 7,500 |  |  | 7,195 |  |  | 8,832 |  |  | 9,785 |  |  | 9,441 |  |  | 10,212
|  | $ | 63,780 |  | $ | 62,696 |  | $ | 64,420 |  | $ | 36,188 |  | $ | 35,759 |  | $ | 36,847

The estimated fair values of the Company’s non-revolving line of credit, revolving line of credit, and long term debt were determined using Level 2 inputs based on an estimated credit rating for the Company and the trading value of debt for similar debt instruments with similar credit ratings.

Beneficial Conversion Features — The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible promissory notes under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income (loss). If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there are no embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation or beneficial conversion features other than the contingent beneficial conversion feature related to Series C Preferred Shares.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Upon issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares, the Company determined that the down round financing triggered a contingent beneficial conversion feature for certain previously issued share classes. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company recorded a contingent beneficial conversion feature within additional paid-in-capital. Given that the preferred shares were readily convertible at the discretion of the investors, the Company immediately amortized the beneficial conversion feature through retained deficit.

Concentrations of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable and debt. The Company’s cash balances exceed those that are federally insured. To date, the Company has not recognized any losses caused by uninsured balances.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company borrowed approximately 63% of its outstanding debt from one provider because of the refinancing of the first non-revolving credit line facility.

Significant customers are those which represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue or gross accounts receivable balance at each balance sheet date. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of total revenue. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company also did not have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of outstanding gross accounts receivable.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, (“ASU 2018-07”), to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees, by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. This guidance applies to nonemployee awards issued in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and to awards granted by an investor to employees and nonemployees of an equity method investee for goods and services used or consumed in the investee’s operations. On January 1, 2019, the Company early adopted ASU 2018-07, which did not impact the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests with a Scope Exception (“ASU 2017-11”). Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company early adopted the amendments in Part I on January 1, 2018, which did not have any net impact to the consolidated balance sheets. The adoption resulted in the Company accounting for a contingent beneficial conversion feature triggered in 2019 as an increase to net loss available to common shareholders within the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2019, and to present net loss and comprehensive loss available to common shareholders on the face of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The adoption did not result in any impact to the net loss per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2018. The amendments in Part II do not require any transition guidance as they have no accounting effect.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease measured on a discounted basis, and a right-to-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term, at the commencement date for all leases with a term greater than one year. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842) — Effective Dates for Certain Entities (“ASU 2020-05”), which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-02 for private entities to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will defer the adoption of ASU 2016-02 pursuant to ASU 2020-05 and plans to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In accordance with ASU 2020-05, the Company has decided to defer the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as the majority of the Company’s revenue generating activities are leasing arrangements, which are outside the scope of this guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of the update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by companies at each reporting date. For trade and other receivables, held to maturity debt securities and other instruments, companies will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected losses” model that generally will result in the recognition of allowances for losses earlier than under current accounting guidance. Further, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-11 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. The standard will be adopted using the modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 changes how entities account for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 also modifies the guidance on diluted earnings per share calculations. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective, or prospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

7. LINES OF CREDIT

During 2016, the Company obtained a non-revolving line of credit facility with a lender holding shares of preferred stock, in which it may borrow a maximum of $100,000 subject to certain covenants and an 85% advance rate on eligible accounts receivable. At December 31, 2018, $19,603 was outstanding on this line of credit. At December 31, 2018, no additional borrowings were available. The note was secured by all assets of the Company and subsidiaries. The annual interest rate on the principal was the greater of 18% or the sum of 17% plus the greater of 1% or the three-month average LIBOR rate. This facility was also subject to certain debt covenants as set forth in the loan agreement, which consist of maintaining lease performance

7. LINES OF CREDIT (cont.)

metrics, financial ratios related to operating results, and lease delinquency ratios. The outstanding line of credit including unpaid principal and interest was due in November 2018 to the lender, but was extended to May 2019, unless there was an earlier event of default such as bankruptcy, default on interest payments, or a change of control. This outstanding line of credit was repaid in May 2019.

During 2017, the Company obtained a second non-revolving line of credit facility with a lender holding shares of preferred stock, in which it may borrow a maximum of $6,000, which was raised to $6,800 in 2018, subject to certain covenants and a 35% advance rate on eligible accounts receivable. In 2019, the maximum balance was raised to $16,000. At December 31, 2018, the total outstanding on this facility was $6,800. At December 31, 2019, the total outstanding on this facility was $16,000 less issuance costs of $197, netting to a total of $15,803. The issuance costs are amortized throughout the life of the loan through interest expense. The note is secured by all assets of the Company. The annual interest rate on the principal is 25% through August 2020. Beginning in September 2020, the annual interest rate stepped down to 19%.

This facility is also subject to certain debt covenants as set forth in the loan agreement, which consist of maintaining lease performance metrics, financial ratios related to operating results, and lease delinquency ratios. The outstanding line of credit including unpaid principal and interest is due December 2020. This facility may become due earlier if there is an event of default.

During 2019, the Company refinanced the first revolving line of credit facility which resulted in a maximum of $50,000 for the initial commitment, with the lender having the right to increase to a maximum of $150,000 over time. The Company drew down the $50,000 facility upon the date of the refinancing. This is subject to certain covenants and an 85% advance rate on eligible accounts receivable. At December 31, 2019, the total outstanding on this line of credit was $40,280 less issuance costs of $582, netting to a total of $39,698. The issuance costs are amortized over the life of the loan through interest expense. The note is secured by all assets of the Company. The annual interest rate on the principal was the one month LIBOR Rate plus 11% per annum through July 2020. Beginning in August 2020, the interest rate stepped down to one month LIBOR plus 7.5% per annum. This facility is also subject to certain debt covenants as set forth in the loan agreement, which consist of maintaining lease performance metrics, financial ratios related to operating results, and lease delinquency ratios. The outstanding line of credit, including unpaid principal and interest, is due December 4, 2023 unless there is an earlier event of default such as bankruptcy, default on interest payments, or a change of control (excluding an acquisition by a Special Purpose Acquisition Company), at which point the facility may become due earlier. On September 28, 2020, the lender exercised their right to increase the maximum commitment to a total of $125,000.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company was in compliance with the covenants set forth in the above agreements.

8. LONG TERM DEBT AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Long-term debt — In September 2018, the Company obtained a bridge loan from a related party lender for $5,500.

In November 2018, the Company amended this loan, which resulted in the Company increasing the principal amount by $2,000 for a total of $7,500. At December 31, 2018, the total outstanding balance on this loan was carried at $7,476, which is offset by issuance costs totaling $796, netting to a total of $6,680. At December 31, 2019, the total outstanding balance on this loan was carried at $7,492, which is offset by issuance costs totaling $297, netting to a total of $7,195.

8. LONG TERM DEBT AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES (cont.)

In May 2019, the Company amended the outstanding long-term debt of $7,500 which extended the maturity date from September 13, 2019 to December 31, 2021. As such, the entire remaining balance at December 31, 2019 is due in 2021.

Convertible Notes — As a condition of the Company’s $5,500 bridge loan, the lender required the loan to be guaranteed by current investors in the Company. In exchange for this guarantee, the Company issued $1,650 of convertible notes, which had a pricing feature to convert at a 20% discount to the share price of the next round of equity financing. At issuance, the fair value of these convertible notes was $2,004. The related beneficial conversion feature was accounted for as a reduction to the carrying value of the debt, with an offsetting increase to additional paid in capital.

In conjunction with the Company’s amendment of its $5,500 bridge loan (to increase the principal amount by $2,000), the Company issued an additional $600 of convertible notes with the same features mentioned above. At issuance, the fair value of these notes was $730. The related beneficial conversion feature was accounted for as a reduction to the carrying value of the debt, with an offsetting increase to additional paid in capital.

In February and March 2019, the Company issued an additional $2,500 in convertible notes for cash consideration. These convertible notes had stock warrants attached. Additional details pertaining to the stock warrants can be found in Note 10.

All convertible notes issued in 2019 and 2018 were determined to have a share settled redemption feature. This required the bifurcation recording of a derivative liability for each convertible note issued. The percentage likelihood of share settled redemption at issuance was calculated against each note’s par value. In February 2019, a derivative liability of $375 was recorded with the issuance of the $2,000 convertible note. Similarly, in March 2019, the $500 convertible note issuance resulted in the recording of a derivative liability of $94. At December 31, 2018, the balances of the convertible notes and derivative liability were $2,339 and $422, respectively.

In April 2019, all of the Company’s convertible notes converted to 17,061,472 shares of Preferred Stock Series C shares at a price of $0.3553 less 20%. This conversion event qualified as a non-qualified financing feature per the executed agreements. In conjunction with this event, the Company also recapitalized all preferred share classes into Series C preferred stock (See Note 12). Also, in April 2019, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the conversion of these notes totaling $823.

10. STOCK WARRANTS

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, warrants to purchase 722,260 shares and 702,197 shares, respectively, of common stock issued in 2014 had vested to a former lender and investor, respectively, and remain exercisable. Such warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.49 per share and may be exercised through June of 2024. The warrants do not convey any voting privileges or claims on dividends declared until they are exercised into common stock by the holder.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, warrants to purchase 1,084,618 shares of common stock issued in 2017 to a new investor remain exercisable. Such warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.7084 per share and may be exercised through April of 2022. The warrants do not convey any voting privileges or claims on dividends declared until they are exercised into common stock by the holder.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, warrants to purchase 65,684 shares of common stock that were issued in 2018 to current investors are outstanding and remain exercisable. Such warrants are exercisable at a price of $.01 per share and may be exercised through April 2023. The warrants do not convey any voting privileges or claims on dividends declared until they are exercised into common stock by the holder.

At December 31, 2019, warrants to purchase 3,782,022 shares of common stock that were issued in 2019 to current investors are outstanding and remain exercisable. Of these, 2,540,347 were issued in conjunction with the second lien facility upsizing in 2019. Such warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share and may be exercised through April 2024. The warrants do not convey any voting privileges or claims on dividends declared until they are exercised into common stock by the holder.

The remaining 1,241,675 warrants were issued in conjunction with the $2,500 of additional convertible notes payable issued in 2019. Due to these warrants being issued in connection with the convertible notes, a beneficial conversion feature was recognized on the issuance date of the instruments. The balance related to this feature was extinguished upon the conversion of the related convertible notes. In accordance with ASC 470-20, a beneficial conversion feature exists if the conversion price is less than the fair value of the shares into which the instrument is convertible at the commitment date. In February and March 2019, when the $2,500 of additional convertible notes were issued, the preferred stock price at fair value was $1.7084. This was greater than the conversion prices of $1.6051 and $1.6068 for the February and March issuances, respectively. This difference multiplied by the number of shares issued was calculated at $151 and recorded as additional paid in capital. Both groups of warrants may be exercised through May 2024. The warrants do not convey any voting privileges or claims on dividends declared until they are exercised into common stock by the holder.

11. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded a tax loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and since it maintains a full valuation allowance on all of its deferred tax assets, the Company recorded no income tax provision or benefit during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective tax rate is as follows:

|  |  |  | Years Ended December 31,
|  | 2019 |  | 2018
Federal statutory rate |  | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | %

Effective tax rate |  | 0.0 | % |  | 0.0 | %

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

Deferred tax assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward of $62.7 million that expire at various dates from 2032 through 2037 and includes $27.0 million that have an unlimited

carryforward period. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has U.S. state and local net operating loss carryforwards of $47.9 million that expire at various dates from 2020 through 2039, and includes $6.1 million that have an unlimited carryforward period.

In evaluating its ability to realize its net deferred tax assets, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, such as past operating results, forecasted earnings, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, and the future realization of the tax benefits of existing temporary differences. The Company determined that it was not possible to reasonably quantify future taxable income and, considering its history of generating net operating losses, determined that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The utilization of the Company’s net operating losses may be subject to a U.S. federal limitation due to the “change in ownership provisions” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state and foreign provisions. Such limitation may result in the expiration of the federal net operating loss carryforwards before their utilization. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the Company’s inception. Future changes in the Company’s stock ownership, which may be outside of the Company’s control, may trigger an “ownership change.” In addition, future equity offerings or acquisitions that have equity as a component of the purchase price could result in an “ownership change.”

The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations for both federal taxes and the many states in which it operates or does business in. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits.

The Company records tax positions as liabilities and adjusts these liabilities when its judgement changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the recognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has not recorded any uncertain tax positions in its consolidated financial statements.

The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, no accrued interest or penalties are recorded on the balance sheet, and the Company has not recorded any related expenses.

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examinations by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable. There are currently no pending tax examinations. The Company’s tax years are still open under statute from 2016 to the present. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax years in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state and local tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period.

12. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

During 2019, the Company converted all outstanding Series A, Series A-1, Series A-2, Series B, Series B-1, and Series B-2 shares to Series C shares by issuing on a 1:1 ratio 24,773,767 Series C Preferred Shares. Additionally, the Company issued 17,061,472 Series C Preferred Shares valued at $6,062 to execute the conversion feature of the outstanding convertible notes. Lastly, the Company raised additional equity of $9,506 by issuing 26,754,674 of Series C Preferred Shares.

Upon issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares, the Company determined that the down round financing triggered a contingent beneficial conversion feature for certain previously issued share classes. In accordance with ASC 470, the Company recorded the beneficial conversion feature as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital. Given that the preferred shares were readily convertible at the discretion of the investors, the Company immediately amortized the beneficial conversion feature through accumulated deficit.

Redeemable convertible preferred stock as of December 31, 2019, consists of the following:

|  |  |  | December 31, 2019
|  | Preferred Shares Authorized |  | Preferred Shares Issued and Outstanding |  | Average Issuance Price Per Share |  | Liquidation Preference |  | Carrying Value

The holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock have various rights and preferences as follows:

Voting — Each share of preferred stock entitled the holder to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which each share is convertible at the time of the vote.

The holders of record of the Series C Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect three (3) members of the Company’s board of directors. The holders of record of Common Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of the Company’s board of directors.

Dividends — The holders of Series C Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, shall be entitled to receive, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of funds that are legally available therefore, non-cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 8% of the original issue price of each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock.

Liquidation Preference — In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Series C preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, ratably, prior and in preference to any distribution of the assets or funds of the Company to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to the original issuance

price per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. If the Company has insufficient assets to permit payment of the Liquidation Preference in full to the holders of the Series C preferred stock, then the assets of the Company shall be distributed ratably to the Series C preferred stockholders in proportion to the Liquidation Preference that such holders would otherwise be entitled to receive.

After payment of the Liquidation Preference to the holders of Series C preferred stock, the remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed ratably to the holders of common stock.

Redemption — The Series C shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock do not contain any mandatory redemption provisions. In accordance with ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, preferred stock issued with redemption provisions that are outside of the control of the Company or that contain certain redemption rights in a deemed liquidation event is required to be classified as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the balance sheets. The Series C shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock are redeemable upon the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event, which is outside of the control of the Company. Therefore, these shares are classified as temporary equity.

Conversion — Each share of convertible redeemable preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance of each share, into shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the original purchase price of preferred stock by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion. As of December 31, 2019, the 68,589,913 shares of Series C preferred stock were convertible into 69,389,562 shares of Common stock.

Each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the then-effective conversion rate of such shares upon the earlier of (i) the affirmative election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if converted basis; or (ii) upon the closing of a firmly committed underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of common stock for the account of the Company in which the price per share is at least three times the original issue price of the Series B-1 preferred shares, and the gross cash proceeds to the Company before any underwriting discounts, commissions, fees and expense are at least $40,000. Upon such automatic conversion, any declared but unpaid dividends shall be paid.

14. NET LOSS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of net loss per common share:

|  |  |  | Year Ended December 31,
|  | 2019 |  | 2018
Numerator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net loss |  | $ | (18,792 | ) |  | $ | (23,509 | )
Beneficial Conversion Feature |  |  | (2,480 | ) |  |  | — |
Net loss available to common shareholders |  | $ | (21,272 | ) |  | $ | (23,509 | )
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding – basic and diluted |  |  | 8,642,858 |  |  |  | 7,964,685 |
Net loss per share – basic and diluted |  | $ | (2.46 | ) |  | $ | (2.95 | )

The Company included the intrinsic value of the contingent beneficial conversion feature that was triggered in 2019 as an increase to net loss available to common shareholders within the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation. The inclusion of this item resulted from the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11 as of January 1, 2018.

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include redeemable convertible preferred stock, stock options to purchase common stock and warrants to purchase common stock, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be antidilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

|  |  |  | December 31,
|  | 2019 |  | 2018
Redeemable convertible preferred stock (as converted to common shares) |  | 69,389,533 |  | 24,845,110
Options to purchase common stock |  | 11,982,429 |  | 3,626,092
Warrants to purchase common stock |  | 5,654,584 |  | 1,872,562
Total common stock equivalents |  | 87,026,546 |  | 30,343,764

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company evaluated subsequent events from December 31, 2019, the date of these consolidated financial statements, through January 29, 2021, which represents the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, for events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements. Except as discussed below, there are no events that require adjustment to or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

Impact of COVID-19 — On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the recent novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak a pandemic. In response to the outbreak, many jurisdictions, including those in which we have locations, have implemented measures to combat the outbreak, such as travel restrictions and shelter in place orders. The outbreak originated in China and has subsequently spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. The extent to which this outbreak ultimately impacts our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition cannot be determined at this time and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and duration of this outbreak and the actions taken by governmental authorities and us to contain it or treat its impact.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits. These provisions of the CARES Act will be applicable to the Company in fiscal year 2020 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Restricted Stock Awards — On August 26, 2020, the Company granted a total of 19,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to certain employees (the “Award Shares”). The Award Shares vest only upon a Liquidation Event, which is defined as any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, including a consolidation, stock exchange, or merger with another Company. The number of Award Shares that vest will depend upon the achieved liquidation price per common share. Vesting of the Award Shares is contingent upon the recipient’s continuous employment with the Company through a Liquidation Event. The Liquidation Event represents a performance condition that is not probable of occurring until it has occurred, and therefore no compensation expense will be recorded, nor inclusion of the shares within the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share calculations, until the occurrence of a Liquidation Event.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (cont.)

Debt Repayments — On December 2, 2020, the Company repaid all outstanding principal and interest balances related to its second non-revolving line of credit, which amounted to $16,264. On December 4, 2020, the Company repaid all outstanding principal and interest balances related to its long-term debt with a related party, which amounted to $7,657.

Debt Refinancing — On December 4, 2020, the Company entered into the ninth amendment to its first revolving line of credit facility. This amendment provided the lenders with the right to increase the revolving commitment amount from $125,000 to $250,000. This right has not yet been exercised by the lender as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The amendment also provided the Company with a senior secured term loan facility commitment of up to $50,000. The Company drew down the full $50,000 of this term loan on December 4, 2020. In conjunction with the amended loan and security agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 4,988,719 Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

Pending Business Combination — On December 18, 2020, Katapult announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with FinServ Acquisition Corp., a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, FinServ will merge with Katapult at a pro forma combined enterprise value of approximately $1 billion and equity value of $962 million. Total consideration paid to Katapult’s existing shareholders will be $833 million. Cash proceeds from the transaction will fund up to $325 million of cash consideration to Katapult’s existing shareholders and $50 million of cash to Katapult’s balance sheet. The cash components of the transaction will be funded by FinServ’s cash in trust of $250 million (assuming no redemptions) as well as a $150 million private placement of common stock at $10 per share from various institutional investors. The balance of the consideration to Katapult’s equity holders will consist of equity in the Company. Existing Katapult equity holders will have the potential to receive an earnout for additional shares of equity if certain price targets are met as set forth in the definitive merger agreement. The transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2021 and remains subject to customary closing conditions.

Katapult SPV-1 LLC originates all of the Company’s lease agreements thereafter. Cognical SPV-4 LLC has halted the origination of new leases on behalf of a third-party retailer, however the Company still services activity from existing leases under this entity.

The Company is headquartered in New York, New York. Katapult was incorporated in Delaware in 2016. Katapult Group, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2012, which is also when the consolidated entity was founded.

Basis of Presentation — The condensed consolidated financial statements (“consolidated financial statements”) are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Katapult Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. As permitted for interim reporting, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by US GAAP may be condensed or omitted, unless otherwise required by US GAAP or SEC rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other interim period or future year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited annual consolidated financial statements but does not include all information required by US GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There is no difference between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for each of the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties — The Company is subject to a number of risks including, but not limited to, the need for successful development of products, the need for additional capital (or financing) to fund operating losses, competition from substitute products and services from larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, patent litigation, dependence on key individuals, and risks associated with changes in information technology.

Impact of COVID-19 — On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the recent novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak a pandemic. In response to the outbreak, many jurisdictions, including those in which we have locations, have implemented measures to combat the outbreak, such as travel restrictions and shelter in place orders. The outbreak originated in China and has subsequently spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. The extent to which this outbreak ultimately impacts

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition cannot be determined at this time and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and duration of this outbreak and the actions taken by governmental authorities and us to contain it or treat its impact.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits. These provisions of the CARES Act will be applicable to the Company in fiscal year 2020 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as discussed below.

Capitalized Software — Starting January 1, 2020, at which the related costs became material, the Company began capitalizing certain development costs incurred in connection with its internal use software. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Capitalization of costs begins when the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is probable that the project will be completed and used for its intended function. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional features and functionality. Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three years. Capitalized software is included within the Capitalized software and intangible assets, net line item of the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as the majority of the Company’s revenue generating activities are leasing arrangements, which are outside the scope of this guidance.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, (“ASU 2018-07”), to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees, by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. This guidance applies to nonemployee awards issued in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and to awards granted by an investor to employees and nonemployees of an equity method investee for goods and services used or consumed in the investee’s operations. On January 1, 2019, the Company early adopted ASU 2018-07, which did not impact the consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests with a Scope Exception (“ASU 2017-11”). Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company early adopted the amendments in Part I on January 1, 2018, which did not have any net impact to the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The adoption resulted in the Company revising its net income (loss) per share calculation for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to account for a contingent beneficial conversion feature triggered in 2019 as a reduction to net income (loss) available to common shareholders, and to present this amount on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The adoption did not result in any impact to the net income (loss) per share calculation for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The amendments in Part II do not require any transition guidance as they have no accounting effect.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement. On January 1, 2020 the Company adopted ASU 2018-13, which did not impact the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This ASU is effective for all entities beginning as of its date of effectiveness, March 12, 2020. The guidance is temporary and can be applied through December 31, 2022. This ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease measured on a discounted basis, and a right-to-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term, at the commencement date for all leases with a term greater than one year. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842) — Effective Dates for Certain Entities (“ASU 2020-05”), which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-02 for private entities to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will defer the adoption of ASU 2016-02 pursuant to ASU 2020-05 and plans to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of the update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by companies at each reporting date. For trade and other receivables, held to maturity debt securities and other instruments, companies will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected losses” model that generally will result in the recognition of allowances for losses earlier than under current accounting guidance. Further, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-11 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. The standard will be adopted using the modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 changes how entities account for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 also modifies the guidance on diluted earnings per share calculations. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective, or prospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

7. LINES OF CREDIT

During 2016, the Company obtained a non-revolving line of credit facility with a lender holding shares of preferred stock, in which it may borrow a maximum of $100,000 subject to certain covenants and an 85% advance rate on eligible accounts receivable. At December 31, 2018 $19,603 was outstanding on this line of credit. At December 31, 2018, no additional borrowings were available. The note was secured by all assets of the Company and subsidiaries. The annual interest rate on the principal was the greater of 18% or the sum of 17% plus the greater of 1% or the three-month average LIBOR rate. This facility was also subject to certain debt covenants as set forth in the loan agreement. The outstanding line of credit including unpaid principal and interest was due in November 2018 to the lender, but was extended to May 2019, unless there was an earlier event of default such as bankruptcy, default on interest payments, or a change of control. This outstanding line of credit was repaid in May 2019.

During 2019, the Company refinanced the first revolving line of credit facility, borrowing at a maximum of $50,000 for initial commitment with lender right to increase to a maximum of $150,000 over time. This is subject to certain covenants and an 85% advance rate on eligible accounts receivable, which was increased to 90% during March 2020. At December 31, 2019, the total outstanding on this line of credit was $40,280 less issuance costs of $582, netting to a total of $39,698. At September 30, 2020, the total outstanding on this line of credit was $74,355 less issuance costs of $1,167, netting to a total of $73,188. The issuance costs are amortized over the life of the loan through interest expense. The note is secured by all assets of the Company. The annual interest rate on the principal was the one month LIBOR Rate plus 11% per annum through July 2020. Beginning in August 2020, the interest rate stepped down to one month LIBOR plus 7.5% per annum. This facility is also subject to certain debt covenants as set forth in the loan agreement. The outstanding line of credit, including unpaid principal and interest, is due in May 2023 unless there is an earlier event of default such as bankruptcy, default on interest payments, or a change of control, at which point the facility may become due earlier. On September 28, 2020, the lender exercised their right to increase the maximum commitment to a total of $125,000.

During 2017, the Company obtained a second non-revolving line of credit facility with a lender holding shares of preferred stock, in which it may borrow a maximum of $6,000, which was raised to $6,800 in 2018, subject to certain covenants and a 35% advance rate on eligible accounts receivable. In 2019, the maximum balance was raised to $16,000. At December 31, 2019, the total outstanding on this facility was $16,000 less issuance costs of $197, netting to a total of $15,803. At September 30, 2020, the total outstanding on this facility was $16,000 less issuance costs of $49, netting to a total of $15,951. The issuance costs are amortized throughout the life of the loan through interest expense. The note is secured by all assets of the Company. The annual interest rate on the principal is 25% through August 2020. Beginning in September 2020, the annual interest rate stepped down to 19%. This facility was repaid in December 2020.

7. LINES OF CREDIT (cont.)

This facility is also subject to certain debt covenants as set forth in the loan agreement. The outstanding line of credit including unpaid principal and interest is due December 2020. This facility may become due earlier if there is an event of default.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants set forth in the above agreements.

8. LONG TERM DEBT AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Long-term debt — In September 2018, the Company obtained a bridge loan from a related party lender for $5,500.

In November 2018, the Company amended this loan, which increased the principal amount by $2,000 for a total of $7,500. At December 31, 2019, the total outstanding balance on this loan was carried at $7,492, which is offset by issuance costs totaling $297, netting to a total of $7,195. As September 30, 2020, the total outstanding balance on this loan was carried at $7,495, which is offset by issuance costs totaling $186, netting to a total of $7,309.

In May 2019, the Company amended the outstanding long-term debt of $7,500 which extended the maturity date from September 13, 2019 to December 31, 2021. This loan was repaid in December 2020.

Convertible Notes — As a condition of the Company’s $5,500 bridge loan, the lender required the loan to be guaranteed by current investors in the Company. In exchange for this guarantee, the Company issued $1,650 of convertible notes, which had a pricing feature to convert at a 20% discount to the share price of the next round of equity financing. At issuance, the fair value of these convertible notes was $2,004.

In conjunction with the Company’s amendment of its $5,500 bridge loan (to increase the principal amount by $2,000), the Company issued an additional $600 of convertible notes with the same features mentioned above. At issuance, the fair value of these notes was $730.

In February and March 2019, the Company issued an additional $2,500 in convertible notes for cash consideration. These convertible notes had stock warrants attached. Additional details pertaining to the stock warrants can be found in Note 10.

All convertible notes issued in 2019 and 2018 were determined to have a share settled redemption feature. This required the bifurcation recording of a derivative liability for each convertible note issued. The percentage likelihood of share settled redemption at issuance was calculated against each note’s par value. In February 2019, a derivative liability of $375 was recorded with the issuance of the $2,000 convertible note. Similarly, in March 2019, the $500 convertible note issuance resulted in the recording of a derivative liability of $94.

In April 2019, all of the Company’s convertible notes converted to 17,061,472 shares of Preferred Stock Series C shares at a price of $0.3553 less 20%. This conversion event qualified as a non-qualified financing feature per the executed agreements. In conjunction with this event, the Company also recapitalized all preferred share classes into Series C preferred stock (See Note 12). Also, in April 2019, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the conversion of these notes totaling $823.

9.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On June 5, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved the Cognical Holdings, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, (the “2014 Plan”), which was concurrently approved by the Company’s stockholders.

In accordance with the 2014 Plan, the directors may issue stock options to officers, employees, directors and consultants to purchase common stock. There were no stock options granted to nonemployees during 2020 and 2019. The 2014 Plan has specific vesting for each stock option grant allowing vesting of the options over one to four years depending upon grantee. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 11,136,466 and 11,982,429 stock options outstanding, respectively, and 262,869 and 80,199 shares available for issuance by the Company, respectively, under the 2014 Plan.

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (cont.)

On August 26, 2020, the Company granted a total of 19,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to certain employees (the “Award Shares”). The Award Shares vest only upon a Liquidation Event, which is defined as any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, including a consolidation, stock exchange, or merger with another Company. The number of Award Shares that vest will depend upon the achieved liquidation price per common share. Vesting of the Award Shares is contingent upon the recipient’s continuous employment with the Company through a Liquidation Event. The Liquidation Event represents a performance condition that is not probable of occurring until it has occurred, and therefore no compensation expense has been recorded through September 30, 2020, nor have the shares been included within the related basic and diluted net income (loss) per share calculations.

10. STOCK WARRANTS

At September 30, 2020, warrants to purchase 722,260 shares of common stock issued in 2014 had vested to a former lender and investor, respectively, and remain exercisable. Such warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.49 per share and may be exercised through June of 2024. The warrants do not convey any voting privileges or claims on dividends declared until they are exercised into common stock by the holder.

At September 30, 2020, warrants to purchase 1,084,618 shares of common stock issued in 2017 to a new investor remain exercisable. Such warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.7084 per share and may be exercised through April of 2022. The warrants do not convey any voting privileges or claims on dividends declared until they are exercised into common stock by the holder.

At September 30, 2020, warrants to purchase 36,417 shares of common stock that were issued in 2018 to current investors are outstanding and remain exercisable. Such warrants are exercisable at a price of $.01 per share and may be exercised through April 2023. The warrants do not convey any voting privileges or claims on dividends declared until they are exercised into common stock by the holder.

At September 30, 2020, warrants to purchase 3,682,688 shares of common stock that were issued in 2019 to current investors are outstanding and remain exercisable. Of these, 2,540,347 were issued in conjunction with the second lien facility upsizing in 2019. Such warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share and may be exercised through April 2024. The warrants do not convey any voting privileges or claims on dividends declared until they are exercised into common stock by the holder.

The remaining 1,241,675 warrants were issued in conjunction with the $2,500 of additional convertible notes payable issued in 2019. Due to these warrants being issued in connection with the convertible notes, a beneficial conversion feature was recognized on the issuance date of the instruments. This feature was reversed on extinguishment of the convertible notes. In accordance with ASC 470-20, a beneficial conversion feature exists if the conversion price is less than the fair value of the shares into which the instrument is convertible at the commitment date. In February and March 2019, when the $2,500 of additional convertible notes were issued, the preferred stock price at fair value was $1.7084. This was greater than the conversion prices of $1.6051 and $1.6068 for the February and March issuances, respectively. This difference multiplied by the number of shares issued was calculated at $151 and recorded as additional paid in capital. Both groups of warrants may be exercised through May 2024. The warrants do not convey any voting privileges or claims on dividends declared until they are exercised into common stock by the holder.

10. STOCK WARRANTS (cont.)

The following is a schedule of changes in outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2020:

|  |  |  | Number of Warrants
Outstanding at December 31, 2019 |  | 5,654,584 |
Warrants issued |  | — |
Warrants exercised |  | (128,601 | )
Outstanding at September 30, 2020 |  | 5,525,983 |

11. INCOME TAXES

For the nine months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $423 and $0, respectively. The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 relates predominately to state income taxes due to the Company’s expected profitability for the year. The Company’s effective tax rate for both nine-month periods is different than the statutory rate primarily due to changes in the Company’s valuation allowance.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward of $58.3 million that expire at various dates from 2032 through 2037 and includes $22.6 million that have an unlimited carryforward period. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has U.S. state and local net operating loss carryforwards of $44.8 million that expire at various dates from 2020 through 2039 and includes $5.3 million that have an unlimited carryforward period.

In evaluating its ability to realize its net deferred tax assets, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, such as past operating results, forecasted earnings, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, and the future realization of the tax benefits of existing temporary differences. The Company determined that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will not be realized due to strong negative evidence of being in a historical cumulative loss position outweighing the potential future forecasted earnings. As a result, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance as of September 30, 2020. Should the Company’s profitability continue, it is reasonably possible that some or all of its valuation allowance could be released within the next 12 months.

12. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

During 2019, the Company converted all outstanding Series A, Series A-1, Series A-2, Series B, Series B-1, and Series B-2 shares to Series C shares by issuing on a 1:1 ratio 24,773,767 Series C Preferred Shares. Additionally, the Company issued 17,061,472 Series C Preferred Shares valued at $6,062 to execute the conversion feature of the outstanding convertible notes. Lastly, the company raised additional equity of $9,506 by issuing 26,754,674 of Series C Preferred Shares.

Upon issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares, the Company determined that the down round financing triggered a contingent beneficial conversion feature for certain previously issued share classes. In accordance with ASC 470, the Company recorded the beneficial conversion feature as an increase to additional paid-in-capital. Given that the preferred shares were readily convertible at the discretion of the investors, the Company immediately amortized the beneficial conversion feature through accumulated deficit.

Voting — Each share of preferred stock entitled the holder to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which each share is convertible at the time of the vote.

The holders of record of the Series C Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect three (3) members of the Company’s board of directors. The holders of record of Common Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of the Company’s board of directors.

Dividends — The holders of Series C Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, shall be entitled to receive, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of funds that are legally available therefore, non-cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 8% of the original issue price of each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock.

Liquidation Preference — In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Series C preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, ratably, prior and in preference to any distribution of the assets or funds of the Company to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to the original issuance price per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. If the Company has insufficient assets to permit payment of the Liquidation Preference in full to the holders of the Series C preferred stock, then the assets of the Company shall be distributed ratably to the Series C preferred stockholders in proportion to the Liquidation Preference that such holders would otherwise be entitled to receive.

After payment of the Liquidation Preference to the holders of Series C preferred stock, the remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed ratably to the holders of common stock.

Redemption — The Series C shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock do not contain any mandatory redemption provisions. In accordance with ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, preferred stock issued with redemption provisions that are outside of the control of the Company or that contain certain redemption rights in a deemed liquidation event is required to be classified as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the balance sheets. The Series C shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock are redeemable upon the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event, which is outside of the control of the Company. Therefore, these shares are classified as temporary equity.

Conversion — Each share of convertible redeemable preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance of each share, into shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the original purchase price of preferred stock by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion. As of September 30, 2020, the 68,589,913 shares of Series C preferred stock were convertible into 69,389,533 shares of Common stock.

Each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the then-effective conversion rate of such shares upon the earlier of (i) the affirmative election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if converted basis; or (ii) upon the closing of a firmly committed underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and

14. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE (cont.)

The Company’s Series C Preferred Shares are participating securities, which requires the application of the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted net income (loss) per share. Under the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to common stock and participating securities according to their respective participating rights in undistributed earnings as if all earnings for the period had been distributed. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders is reduced by an 8% dividend per annum that preferred stockholders would receive prior to any dividend distributions to common shareholders. Preferred shareholders would also receive dividends on a 1:1 basis with common stockholders after their 8% per annum dividend was received. No allocation of undistributed earnings to participating securities was performed for periods with net losses as such securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company.

The Company excluded the securities within the table below from the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

16. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Total interest accrued was $158 and $270 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value accounting is applied for all assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company follows the established framework for measuring fair value.

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date. The consolidated financial statements also include fair value level 3 measurements of additional paid-in capital for stock warrants. Refer to Note 10 for further discussion of stock warrants.

|  |  |  | September 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Principal amount |  | Carrying amount |  | Fair value |  | Principal amount |  | Carrying amount |  | Fair value
Non-revolving line of credit, related parties |  | 16,000 |  | 15,951 |  | 18,266 |  | 16,000 |  | 15,803 |  | 18,267

17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (cont.)

The estimated fair value of the Company’s non-revolving line of credit, revolving line of credit, and long term debt were as follows:

The estimated fair values of the Company’s non-revolving line of credit, revolving line of credit, and long term debt were determined using Level 2 inputs based on an estimated credit rating for the Company and the trading value of debt for similar debt instruments with similar credit ratings.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events from September 30, 2020, the date of these consolidated financial statements, through January 29, 2021, which represents the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, for events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements. Except as discussed below, there are no events that require adjustment to or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

Debt Repayments — On December 2, 2020, the Company repaid all outstanding principal and interest balances related to its second non-revolving line of credit, which amounted to $16,264. On December 4, 2020, the Company repaid all outstanding principal and interest balances related to its long-term debt with a related party, which amounted to $7,657.

Debt Refinancing — On December 4, 2020, the Company entered into the ninth amendment to its first revolving line of credit facility. This amendment provided the lenders with the right to increase the revolving commitment amount from $125,000 to $250,000. This right has not yet been exercised by the lender as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The amendment also provided the Company with a senior secured term loan facility commitment of up to $50,000. The Company drew down the full $50,000 of this term loan on December 4, 2020. In conjunction with the amended loan and security agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 4,988,719 Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

Pending Business Combination — On December 18, 2020, Katapult announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with FinServ Acquisition Corp., a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, FinServ will merge with Katapult at a pro forma combined enterprise value of approximately $1 billion and equity value of $962 million. Total consideration paid to Katapult’s existing shareholders will be $833 million. Cash proceeds from the transaction will fund up to $325 million of cash consideration to Katapult’s existing shareholders and $50 million of cash to Katapult’s balance sheet. The cash components of the transaction will be funded by FinServ’s cash in trust of $250 million (assuming no redemptions) as well as a $150 million private placement of common stock at $10 per share from various institutional investors. The balance of the consideration to Katapult’s equity holders will consist of equity in FinServ, which will be renamed “Katapult Holdings, Inc.” in connection with the merger. Existing Katapult equity holders will have the potential to receive an earnout for additional shares of equity if certain price targets are met as set forth in the definitive merger agreement. The transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2021 and remains subject to customary closing conditions.

(c) Merger Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid to the Pre-Closing Holders in the Initial Merger (other than with respect to Company Options) (the “Merger Consideration”) shall consist of: (i) the Adjusted Transaction Value, apportioned between cash and Acquiror Common Shares in the following manner: (x) the Adjusted Cash Amount (the “Cash Consideration”) and (y) subject to the adjustments (if any) set forth in Section 2.2(f), a number of Acquiror Common Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Adjusted Transaction Value minus the Cash Consideration by (B) 10 (the “Stock Consideration”); and (ii) the portion of the Earn Out Shares allocable with respect to the Company Common Shares (including Company Restricted Shares) pursuant to Section 2.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Acquiror shall be entitled to rely on the Allocation Schedule and shall not be liable to any Pre-Closing Holder for the amount of any payment to such Pre-Closing Holder made in accordance with the Allocation Schedule or the calculation of any such amount

(d) Adjustments to Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration. If, as of the Measurement Time, the Net Cash (as determined in accordance with Section 2.2(h)) is:

(i) less than $10,000,000, then the Cash Consideration will be decreased by an amount equal to the difference between (x) $15,000,000 and (y) such Net Cash amount;

(ii) greater than $20,000,000, then the Stock Consideration will be increased by a number of Acquiror Common Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) such Net Cash amount minus $15,000,000 by (y) 10; and

(iii) between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000 (inclusive), there shall be no adjustment to the Cash Consideration and/or the Stock Consideration.

(e) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no certificate or scrip representing fractional Acquiror Common Shares shall be issued pursuant to this Section 2.2, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Acquiror. In lieu of any fractional shares, Acquiror shall pay each Pre-Closing Holder entitled to any portion of Acquiror Common Shares, and such holder shall be entitled to receive, an amount in cash, rounded up to the nearest cent, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the fractional share interest to which such holder (after taking into account all Equity Securities held at the First Effective Time by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (ii) 10.

(f) Additional Adjustment to Stock Consideration and Earn Out Shares. The Stock Consideration and Earn Out Shares shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Acquiror Common Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of Acquiror Common Shares outstanding following the date of this Agreement and prior to the First Effective Time so as to provide the Pre-Closing Holders with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Stock Consideration and Earn Out Shares.

(g) Allocation Schedule. No later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Acquiror an allocation (the “Allocation Schedule”) setting forth: (i) the mailing addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses for each Pre-Closing Holder, (ii) the number and class of Equity Securities owned by each Pre-Closing Holder, (iii) with respect to each Pre-Closing Holder of Company Common Shares (including Company Preferred Shares to be converted into Company Common Shares immediately prior to the First Effective Time and Vested Company Restricted Shares), the portion of the Cash Consideration and the portion of the Stock Consideration payable or issuable to such Pre-Closing Holder, (iv) with respect to each Pre-Closing Holder of Company Options, the number of Company Common Shares subject to, and the exercise price per Company Common Share of, each Company Option, (v) the number of Earn Out Shares to be issued to each Pre-Closing Holder upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event set forth in Section 2.6, and (vi) a certification, duly executed by an authorized officer of the Company, that (A) the information delivered pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) is, and will be as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, true and correct in all respects and (B) the Company has performed, or otherwise complied with, as applicable, its covenants and agreements set forth in Section 2.2(b)(iii). The Company will review any comments to the Allocation Schedule provided by Acquiror or any of its Representatives and consider in good faith any reasonable comments proposed by Acquiror or any of its Representatives. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon delivery, payment and issuance of the Merger Consideration on the Closing Date to the Exchange Agent, Acquiror and its respective Affiliates

Annex A-21

shall be deemed to have satisfied all obligations with respect to the payment of consideration under this Agreement (including with respect to the Merger Consideration), and none of them shall have (A) any further obligations to the Company, any Pre-Closing Holder or any other Person with respect to the payment of any consideration under this Agreement (including with respect to the Merger Consideration), or (B) any Liability with respect to the allocation of the consideration under this Agreement, and the Company and the Pre-Closing Holders hereby irrevocably waive and release Acquiror and its Affiliates (and, on and after the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates) from any and all claims arising out of or resulting from or related to such Allocation Schedule and the allocation of the Merger Consideration, as the case may be, among each Pre-Closing Holder as set forth in such Allocation Schedule. For purposes of clause (iii) of this paragraph, each applicable form of Merger Consideration (i.e., the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration) to be allocated among the Pre-Closing Holders shall be allocated ratably based on the number of Company Common Shares (including Company Restricted Shares) owned by each such Pre-Closing Holders as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time; provided, however, that any two or more Pre-Closing Holders may agree in writing to reallocate among themselves such Merger Consideration payable or issuable to such Pre-Closing Holders (each such agreement, a “Reallocation Side Agreement”) and, if at least 10 Business Days prior to the final filing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, such Pre-Closing Holders deliver a copy of such Reallocation Side Agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company) to the Company, the allocation of such Merger Consideration among such Pre-Closing Holders shall be set forth in the Allocation Schedule in accordance with the provisions of such Reallocation Side Agreement; provided, further, however, that other than as set forth in any Reallocation Side Agreement dated as of December 18, 2020, no Pre-Closing Holder set forth on Schedule 2.2(g) will be allocated any Cash Consideration. The Pre-Closing Holders acknowledge and agree that the Merger Consideration is the sole consideration to be paid with respect to any and all Equity Securities of the Company. If and to the extent an amendment to the Merger Agreement is reasonably necessary solely in order to reallocate the mix of consideration allocated to any of the Pre-Closing Holders in accordance with any Reallocation Side Agreement (which determination shall be made as promptly as practicable following the date hereof and in any event sufficiently in advance of the time at which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is first filed with the SEC) and does not have an adverse impact on Acquiror in any respect, Acquiror shall (1) enter into such amendment on customary and reasonable terms and (2) include the approval of the Merger Agreement, as so amended, in the Transaction Proposals.

(h) Closing Calculations. No later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Acquiror a statement (the “Net Cash Closing Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of (i) Closing Cash and (ii) Closing Indebtedness. Following the delivery of the Net Cash Closing Statement, if the Acquiror has any objection to any amounts included in the Net Cash Closing Statement, the Acquiror and the Company shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to resolve such objection.

(i) Statutory Rights of Appraisal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Company Common Shares for which the holder (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) thereof (i) has not voted in favor of the Initial Merger or consented to it in writing and (ii) has demanded the appraisal of such shares in accordance with, and has complied in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the portion of Merger Consideration applicable to such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the Allocation Schedule and the terms of this Agreement; provided that any such amounts that would otherwise be payable in respect of such Dissenting Shares shall remain the property of Acquiror. From and after the First Effective Time, (x) all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and cease to exist and (y) Dissenting Stockholders shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under Section 262 of the DGCL and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a stockholder of the Initial Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Dissenting Stockholder effectively withdraws or loses such appraisal rights (through failure to perfect such appraisal rights or otherwise), then that Dissenting Stockholder’s shares (i) shall no longer be deemed to be Dissenting Shares and (ii) shall be treated as if they had been converted automatically at the First Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of Merger Consideration applicable to such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the Allocation Schedule upon delivery of a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and the surrender of any Certificates in accordance with Section 2.3(b). Each Dissenting Stockholder who becomes entitled to payment for his, her or its Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL shall receive payment thereof from the Exchange Agent in accordance with Section 2.3. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Allocation Schedule and the other related definitions and terms that are affected by the total number of Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time, any and all Dissenting Shares shall be included in all such determinations as if such Dissenting Shares were participating in

Annex A-22

the Initial Merger and were entitled to receive the applicable payments under this Agreement. The Company shall give Acquiror prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, and Acquiror shall have the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to all such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquiror (prior to the Closing) or the Sponsor (after the Closing), make any payment with respect to, settle or offer or agree to settle any such demands. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.3(a) to pay for Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Acquiror upon demand.

(j) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Subsequent Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any other Person, each share of capital stock of Initial Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time and each share of capital stock held in treasury, if any, shall be cancelled and shall case to exist and no consideration shall be paid or payable in respect thereof and the membership interests of Merger Sub 2 shall remain outstanding and unaffected by the Subsequent Merger.

Promptly after the First Effective Time, Acquiror shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each Pre-Closing Holder of Company Shares a Letter of Transmittal for use in such exchange. Following surrender of Certificates to the Company and the Exchange Agent (together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal) by each Pre-Closing Holder following the Closing, such Pre-Closing Holder shall be entitled to receive the portion of Merger Consideration applicable to such Pre-Closing Holder in accordance with the Allocation Schedule within ten Business Days following such surrender and/or delivery of the applicable documents.

For illustrative purposes, if, prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period:

If Acquiror shall at any time prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period pay any dividend on shares of Acquiror Common Shares by the issuance of additional shares of Acquiror Common Shares, then in such case, (i) the number of Earn Out Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Acquiror Common Shares (including any other shares so reclassified as Acquiror Common Shares) outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Acquiror Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to such event, and (ii) the applicable Target

Annex A-24

Table of Contents

Share Price shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to each Pre-Closing Holder the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. Each Pre-Closing Holder shall not have the right to vote the Earn Out Shares held by such Pre-Closing Holder unless and until such Earn Out Shares vest in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2.6. Except for the right to vote and the treatment with respect to dividends which is addressed in this Section 2.6(b), each Pre-Closing Holder shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Earn Out Shares, subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions set forth herein.

(c) If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period, any Employee Earn Out Recipient ceases, for any reason or no reason, to remain in continuous employment with a Group Company (a “Former Employee Earn Out Recipient”), all unvested Earn Out Shares issued with respect to any Company Options and held by such Employee Earn Out Recipient shall be deemed to be automatically forfeited to Acquiror and Acquiror shall then distribute such Earn Out Shares to the other Pre-Closing Holders on a pro rata basis based upon the allocation of Earn Out Shares as of the Closing Date (but disregarding any Earn Out Shares issued to a Former Employee Earn Out Recipient with respect to any Company Options held by such Former Employee Earn Out Recipient). Any Earn Out Shares distributed to Employee Earn Out Recipients in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.6(b) shall be granted to such individuals pursuant to the New Incentive Plan.

(d) If the applicable Triggering Event has not occurred prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period, then all Earn Out Shares which would vest in connection with such Triggering Event shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred to Acquiror and shall be cancelled by Acquiror and cease to exist.

(e) In the event of occurrence of any Triggering Event set forth in Section 2.6(a), as soon as practicable (but in any event within five Business Days), the Acquiror will deliver to the Holder Representative a written statement that sets forth (i) the Closing Price over the applicable 20-Trading Day period and (ii) the calculation of the Earn Out Shares in connection therewith and the Allocation Schedule.

(f) If, prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period, a Change of Control Transaction is consummated with a Change of Control Price equal to or in excess of the applicable price per share attributable to any Triggering Event, then, immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction, the applicable Triggering Event set forth in Section 2.6(a) and the vesting conditions in Section 2.6(f) shall be deemed to have occurred and the holders of such Earn Out Shares shall be eligible to participate in such Change of Control Transaction. For avoidance of doubt, assuming no prior Triggering Events have occurred:

(i) if the Change of Control Price for acquisition of Acquiror Common Shares is greater than or equal to $12.00 per Acquiror Common Share, the $12 Earn Out Shares shall be deemed to have fully vested (and the $14 Earn Out Shares Shall be deemed forfeited and shall be cancelled by Acquiror);

(ii) if the Change of Control Price for acquisition of Acquiror Common Shares is greater than or equal to $14.00 per Acquiror Common Share, the $12 Earn Out Shares and the $14 Earn Out Shares shall be deemed to have fully vested;

provided that if the Change of Control Price for acquisition of Acquiror Common Shares is less than $12.00 per Acquiror Common Share, then no Earn Out Shares shall be deemed to have vested and all such Earn Out Shares shall be deemed forfeited and shall be cancelled by Acquiror.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six-year period, the Group Companies shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in such Group Company’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Group Companies’ Governing Documents shall not, during such six-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing or at any time prior to the Closing, were directors or officers of any Group Company (the “D&O Persons”) to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring prior to Closing and relating to the fact that such D&O Person was a director or officer of any Group Company prior to the Closing, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) Neither Acquiror nor any Group Company shall have any obligation under this Section 5.5 to any D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) The Company shall cause the Group Companies to purchase, at or prior to the Closing, and Acquiror shall cause the Group Companies to maintain in effect for a period of six years after the Closing Date, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of the those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Group Companies as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Closing (the “Company D&O Tail Policy”).

(b) FIRPTA Certificate. Acquiror hereby requests, and the Company shall deliver to Acquiror prior to the Closing, (i) a certificate pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h), dated as of the Closing Date and signed by an executive officer of the Company, certifying that the equity interests in the Company are not “United States real property interests” (as defined in Section 897(c)(1) of the Code), (ii) a copy of the notification to be provided to the IRS regarding such certificate, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2), and (iii) a duly executed IRS Form W-9 from the Company.

Section 5.7 Financing.

(a) Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the PIPE Financing (and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Acquiror in connection thereto) on a timely basis on the terms and conditions described in the Subscription Agreements, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) comply with its respective obligations under the Subscription Agreements, (ii) maintain in effect the Subscription Agreements in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to Acquiror set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreements within its control, and (iv) consummate the PIPE Financing when required pursuant to this Agreement.

Annex A-51

Table of Contents

of any breach or default by any party to any of the Subscription Agreements or any termination (or purported termination) of any of the Subscription Agreements. Other than as set forth in this Section 5.7(a) or Section 5.7(b), Acquiror shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, amend, modify, supplement or waive any of the conditions or contingencies to funding set forth in the Subscription Agreements or any other provision of, or remedies under, the Subscription Agreements (except as otherwise permitted hereunder), in each case to the extent such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver would reasonably be expected to have the effect of adversely affecting in any respect the ability of Acquiror to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by reducing the aggregate amount of the PIPE Financing Amount contemplated in the Subscription Agreements such that the Available Distributable Cash would not be sufficient to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.3(e).

(b) If all or any portion of the PIPE Financing becomes unavailable, (i) Acquiror shall promptly use its reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain the PIPE Financing or such portion of the PIPE Financing from alternative sources in an amount, when added to any portion of the PIPE Financing that is available, equal to the PIPE Financing Amount (any alternative source(s) of financing, “Alternative PIPE Financing”) and (ii) in the event that Acquiror is able to obtain any Alternative PIPE Financing, Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to enter into a new subscription agreement (each, an “Alternative Subscription Agreement”) that provides for the subscription and purchase of Acquiror Class A Shares containing terms and conditions not materially less favorable from the standpoint of Acquiror and the Affiliates of an Acquiror Party thereto than those in the Subscription Agreements entered into as of the date of this Agreement (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of Acquiror). In such event, the term “PIPE Financing” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative PIPE Financing, the term “Subscription Agreements” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Subscription Agreement and the term “PIPE Investor” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Person that is subscribing for Acquiror Class A Shares under any Alternative Subscription Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if all or any portion of the PIPE Financing or Alternative PIPE Financing becomes unavailable, Acquiror may utilize deposits, proceeds or any other amounts from the Trust Account and, to the extent reasonably acceptable to the Company, any additional third party financing to satisfy its financing obligations hereunder (including to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition).

Section 8.10 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, shall be disregarded in determining the party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to the Company’s knowledge” and “known by the Company” and any derivations thereof shall mean as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge (after reasonable inquiry) of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12(a) of the Company Schedules. For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to Acquiror’s knowledge” and “to the knowledge of Acquiror” and any derivations thereof shall mean as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge (after reasonable inquiry) of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12(b) of the Acquiror Schedules. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12(a) of the Company Schedules or Section 8.12(b) of the Acquiror Schedules shall have any personal Liability or obligations regarding such knowledge.

Section 8.13 No Recourse. All Proceedings, Liabilities and causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or granted by statute) that may be based upon, be in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in this Agreement), may be made against only (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified herein as Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 8.14 Extension; Waiver. The Company may, prior to the Closing, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any Acquiror Party set forth herein, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any Acquiror Party set forth herein or (c) waive compliance by any Acquiror Party with any of the agreements or conditions set forth herein.

Annex A-68

Table of Contents

compliance by the Company with any of the agreements or conditions set forth herein. Any agreement on the part of any Party or the Sponsor to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Person. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party or the Sponsor to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 8.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. The Parties each hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (i) arising under this agreement or under any ancillary document or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions related hereto or thereto or any financing in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. The parties each hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties may file an original counterpart of a copy of this agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

Section 8.16 Jurisdiction. Any Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby must be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Proceeding, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal Proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 8.16.

Section 8.17 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in each case without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at Law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity.

and deliver, and receive deliveries of, execute and deliver such amendments, modifications, waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby as the Holder Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable; (iv) receive service of process; (v) make any calculations and determinations and settle any matters on behalf of all Pre-Closing Holders (including in connection with Section 2.6 or Section 8.20 of this Agreement); (vi) issue notices and instructions to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of the applicable Ancillary Documents; (vii) assert or pursue on behalf of the Pre-Closing Holders any Proceeding or investigation against any of the other Parties, consenting to, compromising or settling any such Proceedings or investigations, conducting negotiations with any of the other Parties and their respective Representatives regarding such Proceeding or investigations, and, in connection therewith, to: (A) assert or institute any Proceeding or investigation; (B) file any proofs of debt, claims and petitions as the Holder Representative may deem advisable or necessary; and (C) file and prosecute appeals from any decision, judgment or award rendered in any such Proceeding or investigation; and (viii) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other statements, agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Holder Representative, in his sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all Ancillary Documents on behalf of the Pre-Closing Holders (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions hereunder and thereunder).

(b) Orlando Zayas hereby (i) accepts his appointment as the Holder Representative and authorization to act as attorney-in-fact and agent on behalf of each Pre-Closing Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.18, and (ii) agrees to perform his obligations hereunder and thereunder and otherwise comply with this Section 8.18.

(c) Acquiror, Sponsor and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action or decision of the Holder Representative in all matters referred to herein. Acquiror and Sponsor are entitled to deal exclusively with the Holder Representative on all matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Any action taken or not taken or decisions, communications or writings made, given or executed by the Holder Representative with respect to all such matters, for or on behalf of any Pre-Closing Holder, shall be deemed an action taken or not taken or decisions, communications or writings made, given or executed by such Pre-Closing Holder. Any notice or communication delivered to the Holder Representative in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to have been delivered to all the Pre-Closing Holder. Acquiror and Sponsor shall be entitled to disregard any decisions, communications or writings made, given or executed by any Pre-Closing Holder in connection with any matter arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, unless the same is made, given or executed by the Holder Representative.

(d) The appointment of the Holder Representative as each Pre-Closing Holder’s attorney-in-fact revokes any power of attorney heretofore granted that authorized any other Person or Persons to act as agent and to represent such Pre-Closing Holder with regard to the matters contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document. The grant of authority provided for herein (A) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy, or liquidation of any Pre-Closing Holder, and (B) shall survive the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All decisions and actions by the Holder Representative made in accordance with the authority granted to it hereunder, shall be binding upon all of the Pre-Closing Holders, and no Pre-Closing Holder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder Representative may resign as the Holder Representative at any time by providing written notice to Acquiror (prior to the Closing) or the Sponsor (after the Closing), which resignation shall become effective upon appointment of a successor Holder Representative (who is reasonably acceptable to Acquiror (prior to the Closing) or the Sponsor (after the Closing)) by the Pre-Closing Holders constituting a majority of the issued and outstanding Company Shares immediately prior to the First Effective Time (but, for the avoidance of doubt, following the Company Preferred Conversion). All power, authority, rights, privileges, and obligations conferred in this Agreement to the Holder Representative shall apply to any such successor Holder Representative.

This paragraph will survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 5.1. Board Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board.

Section 5.2. Number, Election and Term.

(a) The number of directors of the Corporation, other than those who may be elected by the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock voting separately by class or series, shall be fixed from time to time in the manner provided in the By-laws.

(b) Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, the Board shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible and designated Class I, Class II and Class III.

The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate.

Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, if the number of directors that constitute the Board is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shorten the term of any incumbent director. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, the election

Annex B-3

of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The Board is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions thereof, to assign members of the Board already in office to the aforesaid classes at the time this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (and therefore such classification) becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL.

(c) Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, a director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. There shall be no limit on the number of terms a director may serve on the Board.

(d) Unless and except to the extent that the By-Laws shall so require, the election of directors need not be by written ballot. The holders of shares of Common Stock shall not have cumulative voting rights with regard to the election of directors.

Section 5.3. Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

Section 5.4. Removal. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof and except as otherwise required by law, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Section 5.5 Preferred Stock — Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of the Preferred Stock as set forth in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of the classes created pursuant to this Article V unless expressly provided by such terms.

ARTICLE VI
BY-LAWS

ARTICLE VIII
LIMITED LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1. Limitation of Director Liability. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to the Corporation 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 improper personal benefit from their actions as directors. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

Section 8.2. Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by the applicable laws of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, damages, claims and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 shall be contractual rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

Annex B-5

Table of Contents

(b) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate as it may be further amended from time to time, the By-Laws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

(c) Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

(d) This Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

ARTICLE IX
corporate opportunity

Section 9.1. To the extent allowed by law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or in the future, and the Corporation renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of the Corporation will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to the Corporation, except, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Corporation with respect to a corporate opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and (i) such opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Corporation to pursue and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to the Corporation without violating any legal obligation.

Section 9.2. Neither the alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of this Article IX, nor the adoption of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) inconsistent with this Article IX, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article IX in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article IX, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, addition, repeal or adoption. This Article IX shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the By-laws or applicable law.

ARTICLE X

Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any security of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision.

Section 11.3. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article XI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article XI (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article XI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

STOCKHOLDERS

2.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place (if any) within or without the State of Delaware as may be determined from time to time by the Board or, if not determined by the Board, by the Chairperson of the Board, the President or the Chief Executive Officer; provided that the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that any meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place but shall be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 2.13.

2.3 Special Meetings. Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption), the Chairperson of the Board, or the Chief Executive Officer and may not be called by any other person or persons. Any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

2.4 Notice of Meetings.

(a) Written notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date fixed by the Board for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) or the Certificate of Incorporation.

deposited in the United States mail. Without limiting the manner by which notices of meetings otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any such notice may be given by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the DGCL. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by personal delivery, by mail, or by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(c) Notice of any meeting of stockholders need not be given to any stockholder if waived by such stockholder either in a writing signed by such stockholder or by electronic transmission, whether such waiver is given before or after such meeting is held. If such a waiver is given by electronic transmission, the electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

2.5 Voting List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the mailing address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, (b) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation or (c) in any other manner provided by law. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time of the meeting, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, such list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to the stockholders who are entitled to examine the list required by this Section 2.5 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

2.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Where a separate class vote by a class or classes or series is required, a majority of the shares of such class or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.

2.7 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws by the chairperson of the meeting or, in the absence of such person, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as secretary of such meeting, or by the holders of a majority of the shares of stock present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum. When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the date, time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than 30 days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if the Board fixes a new record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 5.5, written notice of the place, if any, date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, shall be given in conformity herewith. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

2.8 Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held of record by such stockholder and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided by law or in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person or may authorize any other person or persons to vote or act for such stockholder by a written proxy executed by the stockholder or the stockholder’s authorized agent or by an electronic transmission permitted by law and delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation. Any copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable

Annex C-2

Table of Contents

reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or electronic transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or electronic transmission.

2.9 Action at Meeting.

(a) At any meeting of stockholders for the election of one or more directors at which a quorum is present, the election shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the election.

(b) All other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter (or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class, a majority of the shares of each such class present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter shall decide such matter), provided that a quorum is present, except when a different vote is required by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable stock exchange rules, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.

(c) All voting, including on the election of directors, but excepting where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, that upon demand therefor by a stockholder entitled to vote or the stockholder’s proxy, a vote by ballot shall be taken. Each ballot shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. The Corporation may, and to the extent required by law, shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as an alternate inspector to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.

2.10 Stockholder Business (Other Than the Election of Directors).

(a) Only such business (other than nominations for election of directors, which is governed by Section 3.17 of these Bylaws) shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before an annual meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be either (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who (A) is a stockholder of record (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such business is proposed, only if such beneficial owner is the beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation) both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.10 and at the time of the meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (C) has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.10 as to such business.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be in writing and must be received at the Corporation’s principal executive offices not later than ninety (90) days nor earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting as first specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (without regard to any postponements or adjournments of such meeting after such notice was first sent), provided, however, that if no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment) by more than thirty (30) days from the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. “Public announcement” for purposes hereof shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3.17(c) of these Bylaws. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence

Annex C-3

Table of Contents

a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. For business to be properly brought before a special meeting by a stockholder, the business must be limited to the purpose or purposes set forth in a request under Section 2.3.

(c) Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders to present the proposed business, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this section, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder (or a reliable reproduction or electronic transmission of the writing) delivered to the Corporation prior to the making of such proposal at such meeting by such stockholder stating that such person is authorized to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.10; provided however, that any references in this Section 2.10 to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to proposals as to any business to be considered pursuant to this Section 2.10. Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock if and to the extent provided for under law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(c) For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed or furnished by the Corporation with the SEC pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting or a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 3.17, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder (or a reliable reproduction or electronic transmission of the writing) delivered to the Corporation prior to the making of such nomination at such meeting by such stockholder stating that such person is authorized to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.17, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 3.17; provided however, that any references in this Section 3.17 to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations to be considered pursuant to this Section 3.17. Nothing in this Section 3.17 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock if and to the extent provided for under law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

3.18 Reliance on Books and Records. A member of the Board, or a member of any committee designated by the Board shall, in the performance of such members’ duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon records of the Corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Corporation by any of the Corporation’s officers or employees, or committees of the Board, or by any other person as to matters the member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VIII
Indemnification of Directors and Officers

8.1 Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another Corporation, or as a controlling person of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer, or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators; provided, that except as provided in Section 8.2 of this Article VIII, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if (a) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board, (c) such indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under the DGCL, or (d) the proceeding (or part thereof) is brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement under an indemnity agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the DGCL. The rights hereunder shall be contract rights and shall include the right to be paid reasonable expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer of the Corporation in his capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is tendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.

8.2 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 8.1 is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, or twenty (20) days in the case of a claim for advancement of expenses, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if such suit is not frivolous or brought in bad faith, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to this Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, shall be on the Corporation.

Annex C-15

Table of Contents

8.3 Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification, and to the advancement of related expenses, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers of the Corporation.

8.4 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person in this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right which such persons may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

8.5 Indemnification Contracts. The Board is authorized to enter into a contract with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the Board so determines, greater than, those provided for in this Article VIII.

8.6 Insurance. The Corporation shall maintain insurance to the extent reasonably available, at its expense, to protect itself and any such director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

8.7 Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VIII shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an indemnitee or his successor in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.

8.8 Reliance. Persons who after the date of the adoption of this provision become or remain directors or officers of the Corporation or who, while a director or officer of the Corporation, become or remain a director, officer, employee or agent of a subsidiary, shall be conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnity, advance of expenses and other rights contained in this Article VIII in entering into or continuing such service. The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this Article VIII shall apply to claims made against an indemnitee arising out of acts or omissions which occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the adoption hereof.

9.3 Reserves. The Board may set apart out of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve.

Such authority may be general or confined to specific instances as the Board may determine. The Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President may execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President may delegate powers to execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation to other officers or employees of the Corporation under such person’s supervision and authority, it being understood, however, that any such delegation of power shall not relieve such officer of responsibility with respect to the exercise of such delegated power.

REGISTRATIONS

2.1 Shelf Registration.

2.1.1 Initial Registration. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders (and certain other outstanding equity securities of the Company) from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) (“Rule 415”) on the terms and conditions specified in this subsection 2.1.1 and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after the initial filing thereof, but in no event later than sixty (60) business days following the filing deadline (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to one hundred and twenty (120) days after the filing deadline if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the Commission. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall be a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (a “Form S-3 Shelf”) or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on Form S-1 (a “Form S-1 Shelf”) or such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of such Registrable Securities, covering such Registrable Securities, and shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement. A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested prior to effectiveness by, the Holders, including the registration of the distribution to its shareholders, partners, members or other affiliates. The Company agrees to provide in a Registration Statement (and in any prospectus or prospectus supplement forming a part of such Registration Statement) that all assignees, successors or transferees under this Agreement shall, by virtue of such assignment, be deemed to be selling stockholders under the Registration Statement (or any such prospectus or prospectus supplement) with respect

Annex E-5

to such Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. When effective, a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made).

2.1.2 Form S-3 Shelf. If the Company files a Form S-3 Shelf and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Form S-1 Shelf as promptly as reasonably practicable to replace the shelf registration statement that is a Form S-3 Shelf and have the Form S-1 Shelf declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable and to cause such Form S-1 Shelf to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

2.1.3 Shelf Takedown. At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by subsection 2.1.1 or 2.1.2, any Holder may request to sell all or a portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement, including a Block Trade (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”), provided that such Holder(s) (a) reasonably expect aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $35,000,000 from such Shelf Underwritten Offering or (b) reasonably expects to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such Shelf Underwritten Offering but in no event less than $10,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds (the “Shelf Threshold”). All requests for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) business days after receipt of any Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Shelf Underwritten Offering to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to reductions consistent with the Pro Rata calculations in Section 2.2.4, shall include in such Shelf Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein, within five (5) days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice, or, in the case of a Block Trade, as provided in Section 2.5. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the initiating Holders and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this subsection 2.1.3, subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations of the Company and the selling stockholders as are customary in underwritten offerings of securities.

2.1.4 Holder Information Required for Participation in Shelf Registration. At least ten (10) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article II, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to notify each Holder in writing (which may be by email) of the information reasonably necessary about the Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities to the extent the Company has not received such information, and received any other reasonably requested agreements or certificates, on or prior to the fifth business day prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Article II.

2.2 Demand Registration.

2.2.1 Request for Registration. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.4 hereof and provided that the Company does not have an effective Registration Statement pursuant to subsection 2.1.1

Annex E-6

outstanding covering Registrable Securities, (a) the Existing Holders of at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the Existing Holders, (b) the New Holders of at least a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the New Holders, (c) any Holder meeting the Shelf Threshold or (d) the Curo Holders (the “Demanding Holders”), in each case, may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall, within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall file, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, a Form S-3 Shelf or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, a Form S-1 Shelf covering of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after filing.

2.2.2 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.2.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

2.2.3 Underwritten Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.4, if Demanding Holders meeting the Shelf Threshold so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.

2.2.4 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar

Annex E-7

amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders together have requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause, the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Stock or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.5 Demand Registration Withdrawal. Any of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration or any of the Requesting Holders (if any), pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.2.1 shall have the right to withdraw from a Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwritten Offering pursuant to subsection 2.1.3 for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration at least three (3) business days prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration (or in the case of an Underwritten Registration pursuant to Rule 415, at least five (5) business days prior to the time of pricing of the applicable offering). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwritten Offering prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.5.

2.3 Piggyback Registration.

2.3.1 Piggyback Rights. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for a rights offering or an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than four (4) business days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.3.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.

2.3.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Common Stock, if

any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, and (iii) the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.3.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested or demanded pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(b) If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.3.1, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.3.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration (or in the case of an Underwritten Registration pursuant to Rule 415, at least five (5) business days prior to the time of pricing of the applicable offering). The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.3.3.

2.3.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights.

2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to (but may, at its sole option) (A) effect any Demand Registration or an Underwritten Offering (i) within sixty (60) days after the closing of an Underwritten Offering or (ii) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective or (B) file a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or effect an Underwritten Offering (or, if the Company has filed a Shelf Registration Statement and has included Registrable Securities therein, the Company shall be entitled to suspend the offer and sale of Registrable

Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement) for a period of up to thirty (30) days (i) if the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer or (ii) if the Company has determined in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant a Registration Statement would require disclosure of material non-public information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable securities laws (x) which disclosure would have a detrimental effect on the Company or (y) relating to a material transaction involving the Company (any such period, a “Blackout Period”); provided, however, that in no event shall any Blackout Period together with other Blackout Periods exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any consecutive 12-month period.

2.5 Block Trades. Notwithstanding any other provision of Article II, but subject to Sections 2.4 and 3.4, if the Holders desire to effect a Block Trade, the Holders shall provide written notice to the Company at least five (5) business days prior to the date such Block Trade will commence.

If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose; provided, however, that in no event shall such delay or suspension exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any consecutive 12-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.

As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of the Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to

Annex E-13

Table of Contents

give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action and the benefits received by such indemnifying party or indemnified party; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by Pro Rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the amount of actual damages suffered by Acquiror in the event of an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement would be difficult or impossible to accurately calculate and there may be irreparable damages to Acquiror in the event of such an actual or threatened breach.

Each Party hereto hereby agrees to waive any defense in any suit that another Party hereto has an adequate remedy at Law and hereby agrees to waive any requirement to post any bond in connection with obtaining such relief.

(c) In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the court or other tribunal making such determination is authorized and instructed to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible so that the transactions and agreements contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 8 is not intended to be, and is not, an admission or acknowledgement by any Person that money damages or any other monetary payment would be a sufficient remedy for a breach of this Agreement, or that the inability to obtain a monetary remedy by virtue of the limitations in this Section 8 will limit a Party’s ability to obtain injunctive relief or specific performance in accordance with this Section 8. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any

Annex F-4

Table of Contents

and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any on remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

FinServ Acquisition Corp.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and between FinServ Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“FinServ”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”), in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among FinServ, Katapult Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Keys Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub 1”), Keys Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub 2”) and the other parties signatory thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, becoming a subsidiary of FinServ, which will then merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 as the surviving company in the merger and remaining a subsidiary of FinServ, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein (such mergers, the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, FinServ is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase, prior to the closing of the Transaction, shares of FinServ’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), in a private placement for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”). On or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, FinServ is entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with the Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Investors” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”), severally and not jointly, pursuant to which the Investors, severally and not jointly, have agreed to purchase on the closing date of the Transaction, inclusive of the Shares subscribed for by the Investor, an aggregate amount of up to 15,000,000 Shares, at the Per Share Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed Shares (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount.”

In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor and FinServ acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from FinServ the number of Shares set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor’s subscription for the Shares hall be deemed to be accepted by FinServ only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of FinServ; FinServ may do so in counterpart form.

2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and substantially concurrently with and conditioned upon the effectiveness of, the Transaction. Upon (a) satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below and (b) delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) FinServ to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that FinServ reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to FinServ, one (1) business day prior to the closing date specified in the Closing Notice (the “Closing Date”), the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by FinServ in the Closing Notice. On the Closing Date, FinServ shall issue a number of Shares to the Investor set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement and subsequently cause such Shares to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws), in the name of the Investor on FinServ’s share register; provided, however, that FinServ’s obligation to issue the Shares to the Investor is contingent upon FinServ having received the Subscription Amount in full accordance with this Section 2. As promptly as practicable after the Closing, FinServ shall deliver to the Investor evidence from its transfer agent of the issuance to Investor of the Shares on and as of the Closing Date. In the event that the consummation of the

Annex G-1

Table of Contents

Transaction does not occur within two (2) business days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, FinServ shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) business days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice) return the funds so delivered by the Investor to FinServ by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks in New York, New York and Boston, Massachusetts are open for the general transaction of business.

3. Closing Conditions.

a. The obligation of the parties hereto to consummate the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement is subject to the following conditions:

(i) no applicable governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and no such governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition; and

(ii) (A) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction under the Transaction Agreement shall have been satisfied (as determined by the parties to the Transaction Agreement and other than those conditions under the Transaction Agreement which, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction, including to the extent that any such condition is dependent upon the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement) or waived and (B) the closing of the Transaction shall be scheduled to occur concurrently with or on the same date as the Closing.

b. The obligation of FinServ to consummate the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the condition that all representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date (unless they specifically speak as of an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) as of such date), and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by the Investor of each of the representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date, or as of such earlier date, as applicable.

c. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 3.a, the obligation of the Investor to consummate the purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions: that

(i) all representations and warranties of FinServ contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein), which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by FinServ of each of the representations and warranties of FinServ contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date;

(ii) FinServ shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by the Subscription Agreement to have been performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to Closing, except where the failure of such performance or compliance would not or would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay, or materially impair the ability of FinServ to consummate the Closing; and

(iii) no suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction, or initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay, or materially impair the ability of FinServ to consummate the Closing.

d. The execution and delivery of, and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, including the issuance and sale of the Shares and the compliance by FinServ with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of FinServ or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which FinServ or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which FinServ or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of FinServ is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of FinServ and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of FinServ to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of FinServ; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over FinServ or any of their properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of FinServ to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.

e. As of their respective dates, all reports (the “SEC Reports”) required to be filed by FinServ with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

o. FinServ is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares, will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

g. The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in FinServ’s filings with the SEC. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and the Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.

h. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in FinServ. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

i. In making its decision to purchase the Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Investor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of any Placement Agent or any of its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning FinServ, the Company, the Transaction, the Transaction Agreement, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Shares or the offer and sale of the Shares.

(the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List.

s. The Investor acknowledges that a Placement Agent may have acquired, or during the term of the Shares may acquire, non-public information with respect to FinServ, which the Investor agrees need not be provided to it.

7. Registration Rights.

a. In the event that the Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, FinServ agrees that, within twenty (20) business days after the consummation of the Transaction, it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day following the filing date (or the 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies FinServ (orally or in writing) that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) the 10th business day after the date FinServ is notified (orally or in writing) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. FinServ agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the fourth anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within 90 days without limitation as to the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for FinServ to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 (the earliest of (i)–(iii) being the “Expiration”). The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to FinServ upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that FinServ may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for such registration statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that FinServ shall not be permitted to suspend the use of such registration statement for (i) more than a total of 120 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12-month period; or (ii) more than 60 consecutive days at any time; or (iii) in a manner imposing greater suspension limitations on the Investor than those imposed on or with respect to any Other Investors. If the SEC prevents FinServ from including any or all of the Shares proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the SEC and (ii) the number of Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders. FinServ will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. FinServ’s obligations to include the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to FinServ such information regarding the Investor, the securities of FinServ held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by FinServ to effect the registration of such Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as FinServ may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include “lockup” or similar provisions).

b. Prior to the Expiration, FinServ will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. For as long as the Investor holds Shares, FinServ will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor).

c. FinServ shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors and agents of Investor, and each person who controls Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Investor furnished in writing to FinServ by Investor expressly for use therein or Investor has omitted a material fact from such information; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of FinServ (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the FinServ be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Investor. FinServ shall notify Investor promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which FinServ is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares.

d. The Investor shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless FinServ, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls FinServ (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Investor furnished in writing to FinServ by Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 7.d shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Investor upon the sale of the Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Investor shall notify FinServ promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which Investor is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares by Investor.

e. Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

Annex G-9

Table of Contents

f. The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

g. If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7.g from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor upon the sale of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such contribution obligation.

8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto and the Company to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) FinServ’s notification to the Investor in writing that it has, with the written consent of the Company, abandoned its plans to move forward with the Transaction, (d) July 31, 2021, if the Closing has not occurred by such date, or (e) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived, or are not capable of being satisfied, on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and are not consummated at the Closing (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(e) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. FinServ shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of the Transaction Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor to FinServ in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one business day) following the Termination Event be returned to the Investor.

9. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that FinServ is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving FinServ and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in FinServ’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated October 31, 2019 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of FinServ’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of FinServ’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of FinServ, its public shareholders and the underwriters of FinServ’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to FinServ to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of FinServ entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim

Annex G-10

Table of Contents

to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of Class A Shares other than the Class A Shares purchased by it pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Shares, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed with FinServ to not exercise such redemption right.

10. Miscellaneous.

a. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned; provided that the Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of the Investor or an affiliate thereof); provided, that no such assignment shall relieve the Investor of its obligations hereunder.

b. FinServ may request from the Investor such additional information as FinServ may reasonably deem necessary to register the resale of the Shares and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested. The Investor acknowledges that FinServ may file a form of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of FinServ.

Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify FinServ, the Company and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 above are no longer accurate. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of Shares from FinServ will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by the Investor as of the time of such purchase. FinServ acknowledges that the Investor will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, Acquiror, the Company and certain other Persons party thereto entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Class B Holder is currently, and as of immediately prior to the Closing will be, the record owner of 6,250,000 Acquiror Class B Shares and 332,500 Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Sponsor Shares”); and

3. Waiver of Anti-dilution Protection. The Class B Holder hereby (a) waives, subject to, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the Acquiror Organizational Documents, and (b) agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protections with respect to the rate that the Acquiror Class B Shares held by him, her or it converts into Acquiror Class A Shares pursuant to Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Charter that arises in connection with the issuance of Acquiror Class A Shares pursuant to the PIPE Financing or, if applicable, any Alternative PIPE Financing.

5. Termination of Lock-up Period. The Class B Holder, Acquiror, and Insiders hereby agree that effective as of the Closing, Section 8 of that certain Letter Agreement, dated October 31, 2019, by and among Acquiror, the Class B Holder, and Insiders (the “Class B Holder Agreement”), shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“8. Reserved.”

The amendment and restatement set forth in this Section 5 shall be void and of no force and effect with respect to the Class B Holder Agreement if the Merger Agreement shall be terminated for any reason in accordance with its terms.

6. Earn-Out.

(a) At the Effective Time, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6, the Class B Holder has agreed that 1,543,750 of its Acquiror Class B Shares, which will have been automatically converted into Acquiror Common Shares at the Effective Time, shall be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions provided for in this Section 6 (collectively, the “Sponsor Earn Out Shares”):

(i) 771,875 of the Sponsor Earn Out Shares will vest upon the occurrence of Triggering Event I (the “$12 Sponsor Earn Out Shares”); and

(ii) 771,875 of the Sponsor Earn Out Shares will vest upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II (the “$14 Sponsor Earn Out Shares”).

For Illustrative purposes, if, prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period:

(i) the Closing Price of the Acquiror Common Shares is greater than or equal to $12.00 for 20 Trading Days during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period, all of the $12 Sponsor Earn Out Shares shall vest; and

(ii) the Closing Price of the Acquiror Common Shares is greater than or equal to $14.00 for any 20 Trading Days during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period, all of the $14 Sponsor Earn Out Shares shall vest.

(b) If Acquiror shall at any time prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period pay any cash or in-kind dividend (other than any dividend in the form of additional shares of Acquiror Common Shares, which dividend shall be governed by the immediately following sentence) on shares of Acquiror Common Shares then the applicable Target Share Price shall be deemed to have been reduced for all purposes of this Agreement by the amount of such cash dividend or the fair market value of the in-kind dividend, as applicable, paid with respect to each Acquiror Common Share. If Acquiror shall at any time prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period pay any dividend on shares of Acquiror Common Shares by the issuance of additional shares of Acquiror Common Shares, then in such

Annex H-2

Table of Contents

case, (i) the number of Sponsor Earn Out Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Acquiror Common Shares (including any other shares so reclassified as Acquiror Common Shares) outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Acquiror Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to such event, and (ii) the applicable Target Share Price shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the Class B Holder the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. The Class B Holder shall not have the right to vote the Sponsor Earn Out Shares held by such the Class B Holder unless and until such Sponsor Earn Out Shares vest in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 6. Except for the right to vote and the treatment with respect to dividends which is addressed in this Section 6(b), the Class B Holder shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Sponsor Earn Out Shares, subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions set forth herein.

(c) If the applicable Triggering Event has not occurred prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period, then all Sponsor Earn-Out Shares which would vest in connection with such Triggering Event shall be deemed to be automatically forfeited to Acquiror and cancelled by Acquiror and cease to exist.

(d) In the event of occurrence of any Triggering Event set forth in Section 6(a), as soon as practicable (but in any event within five Business Days), Acquiror will deliver to the Class B Holder a written statement that sets forth (i) the Closing Price over the applicable 20-Trading Day period and (ii) the calculation of the Sponsor Earn Out Shares in connection therewith.

(e) If, prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period, a Change of Control Transaction is consummated then, immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction, the applicable Triggering Event set forth in Section 6(a) shall be deemed to have occurred (for clarity, meaning the Sponsor Earn Out Shares shall automatically vest in full as of immediately prior to such Change of Control Transaction) and the holders of such Sponsor Earn Out Shares shall be eligible to participate in such Change of Control Transaction.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, 4,687,500 of Acquiror Class B Shares, which have been automatically converted into Acquiror Common Shares at the Effective Time, are fully vested and shall not be subject to any vesting and forfeiture provisions.

7. Representations and Warranties. The Class B Holder represents and warrants to Acquiror and the Company as follows: (i) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the Class B Holder’s limited liability company powers and has been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company actions on the part of the Class B Holder; (ii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Class B Holder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Class B Holder, enforceable against the Class B Holder in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles of equity); (iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Class B Holder does not, and the performance by the Class B Holder of its obligations hereunder will not, (A) conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Class B Holder, or (B) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any third party, in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by the Class B Holder of its obligations under this Agreement; (iv) there are no Proceedings pending against the Class B Holder or, to the knowledge of the Class B Holder, threatened against the Class B Holder, before (or, in the case of threatened Proceedings, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Entity, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by the Class B Holder of its obligations under this Agreement; (vi) the Class B Holder has not entered into, and shall not enter into, any agreement that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of the Class B Holder’s obligations hereunder and (vii) the Class B Holder is the owner of all of its Sponsor Shares, free and clear of all Liens, other than pursuant to (A) this Agreement, (B) Charter, (C) bylaws of the Acquiror, (D) that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 31, 2019, by and among the Acquiror, its officers, its directors, and the Class B Holder, (E) the Merger Agreement, (F) the Ancillary Documents, (G) the Unit Subscription Agreement, dated October 31, 2019, between Acquiror and the Class B Holder, or (H) any applicable securities laws.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that all of our directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.

Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.

(a) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors

designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

(e) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former officers and directors or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.

(g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.

(h) For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(i) For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, provides that no director shall be personally liable to us or any of our stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent such limitation on or exemption from liability is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of this provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation is to eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director, including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior, except, as restricted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. However, this provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors, then, in accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the liability of our directors to us or our stockholders will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the liability of directors, whether by our stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to further limit or eliminate the liability of directors on a retroactive basis.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, indemnify our current and former officers and directors, as well as those persons who, while directors or officers of our corporation, are or were serving as directors, officers, employees or agents of another entity, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by any such person in connection with any such proceeding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person eligible for indemnification pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will be indemnified by us in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by our board of directors, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification.

The right to indemnification which is conferred by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation is a contract right that includes the right to be paid by us the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding referenced above in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by our officer or director (solely in the capacity as an officer or director of our corporation) will be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such officer or director, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or otherwise.

Table of Contents

The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which any person covered by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may have or hereafter acquire under law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation affecting indemnification rights, whether by our stockholders or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also permits us, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other that those specifically covered by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Our bylaws include the provisions relating to advancement of expenses and indemnification rights consistent with those which will be set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In addition, our bylaws provide for a right of indemnity to bring a suit in the event a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by us within a specified period of time. Our bylaws also permit us to purchase and maintain insurance, at our expense, to protect us and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of our corporation or another entity, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Any repeal or amendment of provisions of our bylaws affecting indemnification rights, whether by our board of directors, stockholders or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provisions inconsistent therewith, will (unless otherwise required by law) be prospective only, except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis, and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
