FORM OF INSTRUCTIONS AS TO USE OF FLEXSHOPPER, INC.

NON-TRANSFERABLE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATES

PLEASE CONSULT THE INFORMATION AGENT, SUBSCRIPTION AGENT, YOUR BANK OR BROKER FOR ANY QUESTIONS

The following instructions relate to the rights offering being conducted by FLEXSHOPPER, INC., a Delaware corporation, to holders of our common stock, series 1 convertible preferred stock and series 2 convertible preferred stock, as described in the prospectus dated __________, 2024. Holders of our common stock, series 1 convertible preferred stock and series 2 convertible preferred stock, as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on _________, 2024 (the “Record Date”) are receiving, at no charge, (i) non-transferable subscription rights (the “Subscription Rights”) entitling such holders to purchase one unit for each basic right at a price equal to $____ (the “Unit Subscription Price”); and (ii) an over-subscription privilege, which will be exercisable only if holder exercises his or her basic right in full and will entitle holder to purchase additional units for which other rights holders do not subscribe, subject to certain pro rata allocations and ownership limitations. Each unit will consist of one share of common stock, one series A common stock purchase right (“Series A Right”), one series B common stock purchase right (“Series B Right”) and one series C common stock purchase right (“Series C Right”, and together with the Series A Right and Series B Right, the “Series Rights”), with each Series Right entitling the holder to purchase one share of our common stock. The offering of the Subscription Rights and the Series Rights is referred to as the “offering.”

The Series Rights are exercisable commencing on their date of issuance at an exercise price equal to the higher of the (x) Unit Subscription Price or (y)(i) in the case of the Series A Rights, 90% of the VWAP of our common stock over the last three trading days prior to the expiration date of the Series A Rights, which is 30 days following the closing date of the subscription offering, but in any event not to exceed 150% of the Unit Subscription Price, (ii) in the case of the Series B Rights, 87.5% of the VWAP of our common stock over the last three trading days prior to the expiration date of the Series B Rights, which is 60 days following the closing date of the subscription offering, but in any event not to exceed 200% of the Unit Subscription Price, and (iii) in the case of the Series C Rights, 85% of the VWAP of our common stock over the last three trading days prior to the expiration date of the Series C Rights, which is 90 days following the closing date of the subscription offering, but in any event not to exceed 250% of the Unit Subscription Price, with the exercise price in each instance rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

The Subscription Rights will be evidenced by non-transferable subscription rights certificates (the “Non-Transferable Subscription Rights Certificate”). The number of basic rights to which you are entitled is printed on the face of your Non-Transferable Subscription Rights Certificate.

Over-Subscription Privilege

If a holder purchases all of the units available to it pursuant to its basic rights, it may also exercise an over-subscription privilege to purchase additional units to the extent other rights holders do not exercise their basic rights in full. Over-subscription privilege will be allocated pro rata among rights holders who over-subscribe, based on the number of over-subscription units for which the rights holders have subscribed. If you exercise fewer than all of your basic rights, however, you will not be entitled to purchase any additional units pursuant to the over-subscription privilege. There will be no over-subscription privilege for the Series Rights.

If you wish to exercise your over-subscription privilege, you should deliver a completed Non-Transferable Subscription Rights Certificate indicating the number of additional units that you would like to purchase as well as the number of shares of common stock that you beneficially own without giving effect to any units to be purchased in this rights offering and the required payment to the subscription agent by ________, 2024, the expiration date of the subscription offering or, if your shares of common stock, series 1 convertible preferred stock and series 2 convertible preferred stock are held in an account with a broker-dealer, trust company, bank or other nominee that qualifies as an Eligible Guarantor Institution deliver a notice of guaranteed delivery to the subscription agent by the expiration date of the subscription offering. When you send in your Non-Transferable Subscription Rights Certificate, you must also send the Unit Subscription Price for the number of additional units that you have requested to purchase.

If the number of units remaining after the exercise of all Subscription Rights is not sufficient to satisfy all requests for units pursuant to over-subscription privilege, we will allocate the unsubscribed units pro rata among rights holders who oversubscribed based on the number of over-subscription units for which the rights holders have subscribed. The subscription agent will promptly return any excess payments in the form in which made. To the extent your aggregate subscription payment for the actual number of unsubscribed units available to you pursuant to the over-subscription privilege is less than the amount actually paid in connection with the exercise of the over-subscription privilege, you will be allocated only the number of unsubscribed units available to you, and any excess subscription payment will be promptly returned to you, without interest or penalty, after the expiration of this offering.

As soon as practicable after the expiration of the subscription offering, the subscription agent will determine the units that you may purchase pursuant to the over-subscription privilege. If you request and pay for more units than are allocated to you, we will refund the overpayment in the form in which made. In connection with the exercise of the over-subscription privilege, banks, brokers and other nominee holders of the basic rights who act on behalf of beneficial owners will be required to certify to us and to the subscription agent as to the aggregate number of basic rights exercised, and the number of units requested through the over-subscription privilege, by each beneficial owner on whose behalf the nominee holder is acting.

Subscription Rights may only be exercised in aggregate for whole numbers of units. Only whole numbers of shares of common stock and Series Rights exercisable for whole numbers of shares of common stock will be issuable to you in this offering; any right to a fractional share to which you would otherwise be entitled will be terminated, without consideration to you. You are not required to exercise any or all of your basic rights. If you do not exercise your Subscription Rights, you will lose any value represented by your Subscription Rights, and if you do not exercise your Subscription Rights in full, your percentage ownership interest and related rights in our company will be diluted. Your percentage ownership of our voting stock may also decrease if you do not exercise your Subscription Rights in full. Please see the discussion of dilution relating to the Subscription Rights in the Questions and Answers Relating to This Offering section of the prospectus entitled “Am I required to exercise the Subscription Rights or Series Rights I receive in this offering?”
