On January 14, 2026, PAR Technology Corporation (the "Company" or "PAR") entered into separate and individually negotiated transactions (the "Exchange Agreements") with certain holders of its outstanding 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Notes") to exchange approximately $17.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the "Exchanged Notes") for approximately 398,650 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.02 per share (the "Common Stock"), plus approximately $134,000 in cash equal to accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes to, but excluding, the closing date (the "Notes Exchange"). The Notes Exchange is expected to close on January 23, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Following the consummation of the Notes Exchange, an aggregate of approximately $2.9 million principal amount of the Notes will remain outstanding.

The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the Notes Exchange. The Exchange Agreements provide for the Company to deliver and pay, as applicable, the shares of Common Stock and cash described above, and the Company will receive and cancel the Exchanged Notes.

The Notes Exchange is being conducted pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

This Current Report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer to sell, solicitation or sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

&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)Delivery of such Exchanged Notes as provided above will be made by each Holder by posting, at or before 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, a withdrawal request for such Exchanged Notes through the Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian settlement system of DTC (it being understood that posting such request on any date before the Closing Date will result in such request expiring unaccepted at the close of business on such date, and such Holder will need to repost such withdrawal request on the Closing Date). The Company will deliver Exchange Shares to the DTC participant identified on <u>Exhibit A</u>, on behalf of each Holder, in each case through the facilities of DTC free and clear of all Liens. The Company is responsible for the payment of any documentary, stamp or other transfer taxes, if any, that may be payable in respect of the transfer of the Exchanged Notes to the Company.

The Undersigned, on behalf of the Holders, and the Company hereby agree that (i) interest shall accrue on the Exchanged Notes to, but excluding, the Closing Date and (ii) each Holder's right to receive interest payments on the Exchanged Notes will cease on and after the Closing Date. If, after the Closing, any Holder actually

------

receives a cash payment (from or through the Company, DTC or otherwise) representing the interest that would have been payable on any Exchanged Notes if such Exchanged Notes remained outstanding after the Closing (the "**Unearned Interest**"), the Undersigned hereby agrees to cause such Holder to and such Holder shall (x) promptly inform the Company of the receipt of such Unearned Interest and (y) return such Unearned Interest to the Company promptly, and in any event within five (5) business days of the receipt thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in writing.

As used in this Agreement, "**Holder Material Adverse Effect**" means any change, effect, event, occurrence or development that would prevent, materially delay, or materially impair the Undersigned's or a Holder's (as applicable) ability to consummate the Exchange.

The Undersigned has all necessary power, authority and capacity to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and each Holder has all necessary power, authority and capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Exchange. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Undersigned and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Undersigned, enforceable against the Undersigned in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to applicable creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought (the "**Enforceability Exceptions**"). If the Undersigned is executing this Agreement on behalf of Accounts, (a) the Undersigned has all requisite discretionary and contractual authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of, and bind, each Account, and (b) <u>Exhibits A and B</u> hereto are true, correct and complete lists of the name and relevant information of each Account.

This Agreement and consummation of the Exchange by the Holder will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of or default under (i) the Undersigned's or the Holder's organizational documents (or any similar documents governing each Account), (ii) any material agreement or instrument to which the Undersigned or the Holder is a party or by which the Undersigned or the Holder or any of their respective assets are bound, or (iii) any laws, regulations or governmental or judicial decrees, injunctions or orders applicable to the Undersigned or the Holder. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority is required on the part of the Undersigned or any Holder in connection with the execution, delivery and performance (as applicable) by the Undersigned and each Holder of this Agreement and the consummation by the Holders of the Exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>No Public Sale or Distribution</u>. Each Holder is acquiring its Exchange Shares for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act. No Holder presently has any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of its Exchange Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, "**Person**" means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and any governmental entity or any department or agency thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Reliance on Exemptions</u>. Each of the Undersigned and each Holder understands that the Exchange Shares (i) have not been registered under the securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction, (ii) are being delivered to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws, and (iii) may not be resold or transferred in the United States or otherwise except in compliance with applicable securities law.

The Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and each of the Undersigned's and each Holder's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Undersigned and such Holder set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Holder to receive the Exchange Shares.

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent, in the case of the Company's Subsidiaries, that the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

As used in this Agreement, "**Subsidiary**" means any company, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity for which the Company directly or indirectly owns (i) at least 50% of the ordinary voting power (or, in the case of a partnership, more than 50% of the general partnership interests) or (ii) sufficient voting rights to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>No Conflicts</u>. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the Exchange will conflict with, violate, constitute a breach of or a default (with notice, the passage of time or otherwise) under, or result in the imposition of

Each of the Undersigned and each Holder, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other party hereto would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable by the remedies available at law (including the payment of money damages). It is accordingly agreed that each of the Undersigned and each Holder, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand (in each case, the "**Moving Party**"), shall each be entitled to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof, and the other party hereto will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. This Section 6(a) is not the exclusive remedy for any violation of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile or .pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Headings</u>. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Severability</u>. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waiver</u>.

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Undersigned; provided that the conditions to each of the respective parties' obligations to consummate the Exchange are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any such waiver shall only be effective if made in a written instrument duly executed and delivered by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.
