**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.**

 

*Appointment of Co-CEO; Departure of Director*

Reference is made to Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K of BM Technologies, Inc. (the "<u>Company</u>") dated January 26, 2023 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("<u>SEC</u>") on January 30, 2023 (the "<u>January 2023 Form 8-K</u>") reporting that on January 27, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors (the "<u>Board</u>") had appointed Rajinder Singh to serve as a member of the Board.

Subsequent to Mr. Singh's appointment to the Board, it was determined to appoint Mr. Singh the Company's Co-Chief Executive Officer, and in connection with that appointment, Mr. Singh resigned his position on the Board and became a Board observer. Mr. Singh's decision to resign from the Board did not involve any disagreement with BM Technologies, Inc., its management, or the Board. The Company and Mr. Singh also entered into an Employment Agreement dated March 24, 2023 (the "<u>Singh Employment Agreement</u>"). The Singh Employment Agreement provides for:

● a 500,000 restricted stock unit equity inducement award;

● a base salary of $325,000 annually;

● potential for annual cash and equity incentive compensation in an amount, form, and at such time as provided in executive incentive plans as approved by the Board from time to time;

● severance compensation for up to two year's compensation based upon his then-current base salary plus average annual performance bonus over the preceding three years, together with vesting of certain awards in the event of a termination of Mr. Singh's employment without cause or by Mr. Singh for "good reason" as those terms are defined in the Singh Employment Agreement;

● automatic vesting of all equity awards if employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Singh for good reason (as such terms are used in the Singh Employment Agreement); provided that only 50% of such equity awards shall vest if the employment is terminated by the Company without cause before December 31, 2023, or if such termination occurs within 12 months of a change in control that has occurred on or before March 24, 2024;

● customary non-disclosure, non-compete, and non-disparagement provisions; and

● a term of two (2) years commencing on March 24, 2023 and renewing automatically on each two (2)-year anniversary for an additional term two (2) years, unless either party delivers notice to the contrary to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to such two (2)-year anniversary.

The foregoing summary of the Singh Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Singh Employment Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit not later than with the filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

## Exhibit 10.1

**Exhibit 10.1**

**EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT**

**THIS AGREEMENT**, made as of March 24, 2023 ("**Effective Date**"), is by and between BM TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation, with its main office located at 201 King of Prussia Road, Suite 650, Radnor, PA 19087 ("**Company**") and Rajinder Singh ("**Executive**").

**<u>Background</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Company wishes to secure the services of Executive as the Company's Co-CEO on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter, Executive is willing to enter into this Employment Agreement (this "**Agreement**") upon the terms and conditions set forth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. The Company will also issue up to 500,000 shares of stock as a material inducement for Executive to begin employment (the "**Equity Inducement Award**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. In connection with starting the new role as Co-CEO, Executive has voluntarily transitioned off of the board of directors, but will remain as a board observer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. The Company's Board of Directors has approved this Agreement and the Equity Inducement Award.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **<u>Employment.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1 **Employment.** Company agrees to employ Executive as its Co-CEO during the "Term" defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. Executive shall report to and be subject to the direction of Luvleen Sidhu, Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board of Directors. Executive shall have the duties, powers and authority ordinarily given to Co-CEO or Chief Executive Officer as provided under the Bylaws of the Company, subject to the foregoing. Executive shall devote all of his working time, abilities and attention to the business of the Company, and will fulfill all of the duties required of him as Co-CEO. The services of Executive shall be rendered principally in New Jersey, but Executive shall undertake such traveling on behalf of Company as may be reasonably required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2 **Board Observer.** During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to attend and participate (but not vote) in all meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company (including any standing committee thereof), including telephonic meetings. Executive shall be entitled to receive all written materials and other information given to the participants in such meetings. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1.2 to the contrary, the Executive may be excluded from any meeting (or portion thereof) or executive session, or denied access to any materials, at the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **<u>Term of Employment</u>.** Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the initial term of employment hereunder shall be for the two (2)-year period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the day preceding the two (2)-year anniversary of the Effective Date. Beginning on the (2)-year anniversary of the Effective Date and continuing every two (2) years thereafter, the term of employment hereunder shall be extended for another two (2) years, automatically, unless either party delivers notice to the contrary to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to such two (2)-year anniversary, in which case the term of employment hereunder shall expire as of the date to which it was last extended pursuant to this sentence. Such notice shall be delivered in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 12. References in this Agreement to the "Term" shall refer both to such initial term and any successive terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **<u>Compensation</u>.** In consideration of the services to be rendered by Executive, Company shall pay to Executive during the initial Term:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A base salary of not less than Three Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand dollars ($325,000) per annum for each year of the Term, payable in equal installments over such payroll cycles as the Company pays its executive officers generally, with any salary for initial or final partial months or other payroll periods being prorated based on the number of calendar days in question. It is understood that the Board of Directors of the Company shall review Executive's performance and make a determination regarding increases in his salary at least once in every calendar year during the Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Incentive Compensation in an amount, in such form, and at such time as is provided in such executive incentive plan for Executive, either alone or for Executive and other officers and management employees of the Company, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and in effect from time to time. Such incentive compensation may take the form of cash payments ("**Cash Bonus**"), transfers of stock, stock appreciation awards, restricted stock units or stock options (collectively, "**Equity Awards**"). Equity Awards shall be subject to such restrictions, vesting and other conditions and limitations as set forth in such executive incentive plan. As a material inducement for the Executive to be hired, Executive will be awarded the Equity Inducement Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4. <u>Reimbursement of Expenses.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 **Reimbursement of Expenses.** During the Term, Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties, as well as those incurred in furtherance of or in connection with the business of Company, including but not limited to traveling, entertainment, dining and other expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5. <u>Termination of Employment.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1 **Termination by Company; "Cause."** Company shall have the right to terminate Executive's employment hereunder at any time, with or without "Cause" (as defined below). In the event of any termination by Company, Company shall give Executive forty-five (45) days prior notice of any termination without Cause but shall not be obligated to give Executive prior notice of a termination with Cause. Company shall nevertheless be obligated to pay Executive such compensation and severance, if any, as may be provided for in this Agreement under the applicable circumstances. Company will give Executive notice of termination of his employment pursuant to a "Notice of Termination" (as defined below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 **No Right to Compensation or Benefits Except as Stated.** If the Company terminates Executive's employment for Cause, Executive shall have no right to severance compensation of any kind, or any right to salary or other benefits for any period after such date of termination. If Executive is terminated by Company other than for Cause, Executive's rights to compensation and benefits under this Agreement shall be as set forth in Section 5.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 **Termination by Executive.** Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment, whether or not for "Good Reason" (as hereinafter defined), but, in all events, Executive shall give Company notice pursuant to a written "Notice of Termination" (as defined below). If the termination by Executive is other than for Good Reason: (i) Executive must give Company a Notice of Termination not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the date his termination of employment will be effective, and (ii) Executive shall have no right to severance compensation of any kind, or any right to salary or other benefits for any period after such date of termination. If termination is by Executive for Good Reason, Executive's rights to compensation and benefits under this Agreement shall be as set forth in Section 5.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4 **Certain Definitions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In connection with a termination of Executive's employment by the Company, "**Cause**" shall mean any one or more of the following reasons: (l) the willful material failure by the Executive to perform the duties required of him hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness of the Executive or material changes in the direction and policies of the Board of Directors of Company), if such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which it is believed that the Executive has failed to attempt to perform his duties hereunder; (2) the willful engaging by the Executive in willful misconduct materially injurious to the Company; (3) receipt by the Company of a notice (which shall not have been appealed by Executive or shall have become final and non-appealable) of any governmental body or entity having jurisdiction over the Company requiring termination or removal of the Executive from his then present position, or receipt of a written directive or order of any governmental body or entity having jurisdiction over the Company (which shall not have been appealed by Executive or shall have become final and non-appealable) requiring termination or removal of the Executive from his then present position; (4) personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, willful breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit or conviction of a felony; or (5) material breach of any provision set forth in Sections 6, 7, 8 or 9, to the extent applicable. For purposes of this section, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive's part shall be considered ''willful'' unless done or omitted to be done by Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of Company. Any act or omission to act by the Executive in reliance upon a written opinion of counsel to Company shall not be deemed to be willful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Good Reason</u>. For purposes of this Agreement, "**Good Reason**" shall mean (1) a material breach by Company of the provisions of this Agreement, which failure has not been cured within 30 days after a written notice of such noncompliance has been given by Executive to Company; (2) any purported termination of Executive's employment which is not effected in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement; (3) any material reduction in title or a material adverse change in Executive's responsibilities or authority which are inconsistent with, or the assignment to Executive of duties inconsistent with, Executive's status as Co-CEO of Company; or (4) any reduction in Executive's annual base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Notice of Termination</u>. Any termination of Executive's employment by Company or by Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "**Notice of Termination**" shall mean a dated notice which shall (1) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon; (2) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive's employment under the provision so indicated; and (3) be given in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 12.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 **Compensation Upon Certain Types of Termination.** If Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason during the Term, or if Executive's Employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause during the Term, or if Executive's Employment is terminated for any reason other than Cause upon expiration of the Term, then in lieu of any salary or damages payments to Executive for periods subsequent to the date of termination, Company shall pay as "Severance Compensation" to Executive, in lieu of all other damages, compensation and benefits other than any benefits the right to which shall have previously vested, an amount (the "**Severance Compensation**") equal to the following, depending upon whether a "Change in Control" (as defined below) shall have occurred at the time of termination of employment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If a Change in Control shall not have occurred within twelve (12) months prior to the date of termination of Executive's employment with the Company, the Company shall pay Executive the following Severance Compensation, payable at the respective times and on the respective conditions set forth in this subsection for each type of Severance Compensation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Cash Severance Compensation</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to receive a dollar amount equal to the sum of Executive's then current base salary plus the average of the annual performance bonus (consisting of both cash and other incentive compensation, but excluding the Company match of any deferred compensation) provided to him with respect to the three (3) fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the fiscal year of termination, for the greater of two (2) years or the period of time remaining in the Term. This element of Severance Compensation shall be payable in equal installments on the normal pay dates following Executive's separation from service with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "**Code**"), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (such Section and regulations are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as "**Section 409A**"). If, as of the date of the Executive's separation from service, stock of the Company or a holding company or other parent entity with respect to the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, and if necessary to comply with Section 409A, payments otherwise due during the six (6)-month period following his separation from service shall be suspended and paid in a lump sum upon completion of such six (6)-month period, at which time the balance of the payments shall commence in installments as described in the preceding sentence. Payments shall be subject to deduction for such tax withholdings as Company may be obligated to make;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Equity Awards</u>. All Equity Awards shall be vested in full; *provided that*, if Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause before December 31, 2023, only 50% of Equity Awards shall be vested in full;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <u>Cash Bonus</u>. Executive shall be entitled to a fraction of any Cash Bonus for the fiscal year of the Company within which Executive's termination of employment occurs which, based upon the criteria established for such Cash Bonus, would have been payable to Executive had he remained employed through the date of payment, the numerator of which is the number of days of such fiscal year prior to his termination of employment and the denominator of which is three hundred and sixty-five (365); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Insurance</u>. Company shall continue to directly provide health insurance (including dental if applicable) and any life insurance benefits for the shorter of (i) the length of the severance measurement period set forth in Section 5.5(a)(i) above, or (ii) the maximum period the Company is then permitted to extend each individual benefit under the applicable plan or policy or applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If a Change in Control shall have occurred within twelve (12) months prior to the date of termination of Executive's employment with the Company, the Company shall pay Executive Severance Compensation equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the sum of Executive's then current base salary plus the average of the annual performance bonus (consisting of both cash and other incentive compensation, but excluding the Company match of any deferred compensation) provided to him with respect to the three (3) fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the fiscal year of termination. The Severance Compensation shall be payable in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days following Executive's separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A. If, as of the date of the Executive's separation from service, stock of the Company or a holding company or other parent entity with respect to the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, and if necessary to comply with Section 409A, payment of the lump sum shall be suspended and paid within the thirty (30)-day period following the close of the six (6)-month period following his separation from service. Payments shall be subject to deduction for such tax withholdings as Company may be obligated to make. In addition to the aforesaid Executive Severance Compensation, additional Executive Severance Compensation shall be provided as set forth below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Equity Awards</u>. All Equity Awards shall be vested in full; *provided that*, if the Change in Control shall have happened within 12 months of the Effective Date, only 50% of Equity Awards shall be vested in full; *provided further that* if Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause before December 31, 2023, only 50% of Equity Awards shall be vested in full;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Cash Bonus</u>. Executive shall be entitled to a fraction of any Cash Bonus for the fiscal year of the Company within which Executive's termination of employment occurs which, based upon the criteria established for such Cash Bonus, would have been payable to Executive had he remained employed through the date of payment, the numerator of which is the number of days of such fiscal year prior to his termination of employment and the denominator of which is three hundred and sixty-five (365);

*Raj Singh, a Veteran Investment Banking Executive, Named as Co-CEO*

 

*Jamie Donahue Promoted to President and Jim Dullinger Promoted to Chief Financial Officer*

 

**RADNOR, PA, March 27, 2023** - BM Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: BMTX) ("BM Technologies," "BMTX," "we," or the "Company"), one of the largest digital banking platforms and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) providers, announced today the appointment of Raj Singh as Co-CEO.

"The Board of Directors and I are delighted to welcome Raj as my partner and Co-CEO as we position BMTX for our next phase of growth," said Luvleen Sidhu, Chair, CEO, and Founder of BMTX. Sidhu continued, "Raj has been a valued partner for nearly three years, advising us from the start of our journey as an independent public company. More recently, he joined the Board of Directors and has partnered closely on various business initiatives. His experience with corporate strategy, complex negotiations, mergers and acquisitions, finance and accounting, and capital markets brings both breadth and complementary skillsets to the senior leadership team. In his new role, Raj's principal responsibilities will be to assist in driving revenue growth and implementing operating efficiencies resulting in improved EBITDA over the next 3-5 years. His addition builds on recent enhancements to the senior leadership team, including Jamie Donahue's promotion to President and Jim Dullinger's promotion to CFO. I look forward to working with our executive team as we execute on our plan for long-term shareholder value creation."

For more than 20 years, Singh worked in senior leadership roles building and managing products and teams in the investment banking practice of Raymond James, including most recently as Vice Chairman of Investment Banking. During his career, Singh managed over 150 investment banking transactions, including M&A transactions, debt and equity financings, balance sheet recapitalizations, restructurings, financial opinions, and valuations. Singh earned an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a BS in Accounting from Rutgers University. Early in his career, he earned the designation of Certified Public Accountant.

"I'm excited to partner with Luvleen and the rest of BMTX's skilled and accomplished executives, as well as its many talented team members," said Raj Singh. "I'm honored by the opportunity to join a well-established and respected leader in the fintech industry."

In connection with Mr. Singh's appointment, he received an inducement award of 500,000 restricted stock units, 50% of which time vest over four years and 50% of which are performance based. This inducement grant was made outside of the Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and was approved by the independent members of BM Technologies' Board of Directors, including all the members of the Compensation Committee, in reliance on the inducement award exemption from the shareholder approval requirements under Section 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.
