Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 13, 2026, Repay Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with PCP Managers II, L.P.
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) (i) increased the size of the Board from six (6) to seven (7) members and (ii) appointed Zachary F. Sadek to the Board to fill the newly created vacancy resulting from the increase in the size of the Board, effective July 13, 2026, with an initial term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders (including any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof, the “2027 Annual Meeting”). The Company further agreed to nominate Mr. Sadek as a candidate for election to the Board at the 2027 Annual Meeting, provided that such obligation will terminate automatically upon Mr. Sadek’s departure from the Board.
The Cooperation Agreement also contains certain customary standstill restrictions and confidentiality obligations, which will remain in effect until the earlier of (i) thirty (30) calendar days after the date of Mr. Sadek’s departure from the Board and (ii) the first day following the conclusion of the 2027 Annual Meeting, subject to certain exceptions.
The information set forth under Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement described in Item 1.01 above, the Board appointed Mr. Sadek as a member of the Board, effective July 13, 2026, with an initial term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting.
Mr. Sadek, age 46, is a Senior Partner at Parthenon Capital Partners (“Parthenon Capital”), an affiliate of one of the Company’s largest stockholders. He has more than two decades of experience investing in and advising companies across the payments, financial technology, business services and software sectors. Prior to joining Parthenon Capital in 2004, Mr. Sadek worked in investment banking at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein (f/k/a Wasserstein Perella) in Chicago, where he served as an analyst specializing in mergers and acquisitions. Mr. Sadek currently serves on the board of directors of BirchStreet, Cardworks, DaySmart, eSecLending, eTix, KBRA, Libra Solutions, Pavilion Payments, Payroc World Access, and Zelis and has previously served as a board member of several technology and services companies. He earned his A.B. with Honors and A.M. from the University of Chicago and his M.B.A. from Columbia Business School.
Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, the Board has determined that Mr. Sadek qualifies as an “independent director” as defined under the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC listing standards and the Company’s director independence standards, as adopted by the Board.
In connection with his service as a director, Mr. Sadek is eligible to participate in the Company’s compensation arrangements for non-employee directors as in effect from time to time, as described in the Company’s annual proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2026. Mr. Sadek will also enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement for directors.
Other than the Cooperation Agreement, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Sadek and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Sadek was appointed as a member of the Board, and Mr. Sadek does not have any transactions with the Company reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Additionally, there is no family relationship between any director or executive officer of the Company and Mr. Sadek.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On July 13, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing Mr. Sadek’s appointment to the Board and the Company’s entry into the Cooperation Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject
to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
