Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On September 20, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Repay Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) approved a compensation program for non-employee directors (the “Director Compensation Program”), effective immediately, pursuant to which each non-employee director will receive payment of the following cash compensation, payable quarterly in arrears on October 1, January 1, April 1 and July 1 of each year, as applicable:

 

  · $30,000 annual retainer for service as a Board member;

 

  · $20,000 annual retainer for service as the chairperson of the Audit Committee;

 

  · $15,000 annual retainer for service as the chairperson of the Compensation Committee;

 

  · $10,000 annual retainer for service as the chairperson of any other Board committee;

 

  · $7,500 annual retainer for service as a member of the Audit Committee; and

 

  · $5,000 annual retainer for service as a member of any other Board committee.

 

In addition to the cash director compensation described above, each non-employee director will receive an initial board equity award with a value of $170,000 (each, an “Initial Equity Grant”), and will receive an equity award at each annual meeting of the stockholders thereafter (each, an “Annual Equity Grant”), in each case calculated based on the closing price on the date of the applicable grant (or the most recent trading day if such date is not a trading day) and rounded down to the nearest whole unit. The Initial Equity Grants and the Annual Equity Grants consist of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) ultimately payable in shares of the Company’s common stock. The RSUs will vest on the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the date of grant and (y) the next regularly scheduled annual stockholder meeting occurring in the year following the year of the date of the grant. Vesting of any unvested equity will be accelerated in full in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the applicable grant agreement) or termination from service as a result of a director’s death or disability prior to the one-year anniversary of the applicable grant date. Vested RSUs are settled on the earlier of (x) the date the director undergoes a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) and (y) a Change of Control (as defined in the applicable grant agreement). In addition, the Company will reimburse directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings. Each non-employee director is expected to directly or indirectly acquire a number of shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of five times the value of the annual cash retainer for a director’s service on the Board within five years from the date on which they are elected to the Board.
