Minimum Annual Commitments with Third-party Processors
The Company has multi-year agreements with third parties to provide certain payment processing services to the Company. The Company pays processing fees under these agreements. Based on existing contracts in place, the Company is committed to pay minimum processing fees under these agreements of approximately $14.0 million in 2025 and $22.9 million in 2026.

Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company and based on consultations with internal and external counsel, the results of any of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. As more information becomes available, and the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable on a claim and that the amount of probable loss that the Company will incur on that claim is reasonably estimable, the Company will record an accrued expense for the claim in question. If and when the Company records such an accrual, it could be material and could adversely impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Company is a party in a case filed on October 11, 2023 in the United States District Court of Northern District of California (the “Complaint”). The Complaint is a putative class action against The Credit Wholesale Company, Inc. (“Wholesale”), Priority Technology Holdings, Inc., Priority Payment Systems (“PPS”), LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). The Complaint alleges that Wholesale as an agent of Priority, PPS and Wells Fargo made non-consensual recordation of telephonic communications with California businesses in violation of California Invasion of Privacy Act (the “Act”). The Complaint seeks to certify a class of affected businesses and an award of $5,000 per violation of the Act. As of June 30, 2025, the court granted final approval of the settlement agreement wherein the defendants agree to pay $19.5 million to settle this litigation on a class basis. There was no contribution from the Company towards this settlement agreement.
Concentration of Risks
While providing payment processing services, Priority manages funds that are held on behalf of its customers. Because Priority is not a member bank, these customer funds are held in bank accounts maintained with member banks pursuant to sponsorship agreements which require, among other things, that the Company abide by the laws and regulations of the card associations and MTL regulators.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company's customer account balances of $1,095.5 million are maintained in accounts with certain FIs which are eligible to pass-through insurance subject to FDIC rules and regulations (refer to Note 4. Settlement Assets and Obligations). A majority of the Company's cash, restricted cash and off-balance sheet settlement funds are held in certain FIs, substantially all of which is in excess of FDIC limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk from these transactions.
