Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company acquired Revel Systems, Inc. (“Revel”), Vectron Systems AG (“Vectron”), Givex Corp. (“Givex”), and Eigen Payments (“Eigen”) during the year ended December 31, 2024. Management excluded Revel, Vectron, Givex, and Eigen from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 because they were acquired by the Company in business combinations during 2024. These entities, each of which is wholly-owned except for Vectron, comprised, in the aggregate, total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and the Company’s audit of internal control over financial reporting of approximately 4% and 6% of consolidated total assets and consolidated total revenues, respectively, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The most significant of these entities, representing approximately 1% of consolidated total assets and 4% of consolidated total revenues, was Revel. The Company is in the process of incorporating Revel, Vectron, Givex, and Eigen into its internal control over financial reporting.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
