**Sezzle Files Antitrust Action Against Shopify** 

**Sezzle Inc. (NASDAQ:SEZL)** (**Sezzle** or **Company**) // Purpose-driven digital payment platform, Sezzle, announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against Shopify Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota asserting federal and state antitrust violations. The lawsuit alleges that Shopify has been engaging and continues to engage in monopolistic and anticompetitive business practices in order to stifle competition for "buy now, pay later" service options on Shopify's e-commerce platform. Sezzle is seeking an injunction to prevent Spotify from continuing its anticompetitive conduct and to restore competition and consumer choice. Sezzle is also seeking damages, which could be tripled under applicable laws.

In conjunction with this release, the Company provides the following information: <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the first quarter of 2025, revenue associated with gross merchandise volume attributable to Shopify's e-commerce platform represented less than 5.0% of Sezzle's total revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company is reaffirming its fiscal 2025 guidance, which was provided in its 1Q25 earnings release on May 7, 2025.
