Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit Disposal Activities.

 

On January 26, 2023, and in connection with its previously announced near-term strategy to focus on being an innovative, efficient, risk oriented Fintech with a sponsor bank model, BM Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) committed to a targeted Profit Enhancement Plan (the “Plan”) that is intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, improve operating cash flow, and continue advancing the Company’s ongoing commitment to profitable growth and continued innovation, and direct the Company’s resources toward its best opportunities.

 

Included within the Plan is a targeted reduction of the Company’s employee workforce of approximately 25% as compared to its headcount at December 31, 2022. This workforce reduction is in addition to targeted spend reduction and service provider rationalization. The Company expects the actions necessary to attain these cost reductions will be substantially completed by June 30, 2023.

 

The Company estimates that it will incur $1.5 million to $3.0 million in charges in connection with the Plan, substantially all of which are expected to be incurred in the first quarter of 2023. The charges and timing of such charges described above are preliminary estimates based on the Company’s current expectations, are subject to a number of assumptions and risks, and actual results may differ materially from such estimates.

 

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

 

Transition of Various Officers

 

On January 26, 2023, the Company elected Jamie Donahue, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, as the Company’s President. Mr. Donahue has been in his current position with the Company since 2020. He has a 25-year career in financial services, starting at ADP Brokerage before it spun out in 1998 to create a company called BISYS, which was ADP’s entry into the banking system. He also served in senior positions at Finastra as well as First Republic Bank before joining the Company. In his new position as President, Mr. Donahue will be responsible for leading the entire information technology, operations, product and program management, and sales teams as the Company pivots its strategy to ensure sustainable growth and profitability into the future as a leader in embedded finance and Banking-as-a-Service. Mr. Donahue’s new compensation arrangements associated with his transition to the position as President have not been finalized and, therefore, are not available at this time. In accordance with Instruction 2 to Item 2.05 of Form 8-K, the Company will timely file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K after that information becomes available.

 

Effective January 26, 2023, the Company transitioned Robert Ramsey, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, from that position to a new corporate development role. Mr. Ramsey’s new compensation arrangements associated with his transition have not been finalized and, therefore, are not available at this time. In accordance with Instruction 2 to Item 2.05 of Form 8-K, the Company will timely file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K after that information becomes available.

 

Concurrent with the transition of Mr. Ramsey, the Company elected James Dullinger, the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer, to the additional position of Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Dullinger has been in his current position with the Company since March 2022. Prior to joining the Company, he served for more than two years as Chief Financial Officer at a publicly traded provider of Internet of Things (IoT) services and technologies. Previously, Mr. Dullinger served for more than 14 years in senior accounting and finance leadership roles at several publicly traded and private equity owned startup and middle-market technology, e-commerce, and investment services companies. Mr. Dullinger began his career in public accounting with 10 years of combined experience at PwC and KPMG, providing audit and other assurance services to complex publicly traded companies operating within the banking and investment services industries. A Certified Public Accountant (PA), he holds an MBA from Georgetown University McDonough School of Business and a BBA in Accounting from Temple University. Mr. Dullinger’s new compensation arrangements associated with his transition to the position as Chief Financial Officer have not been finalized and, therefore, are not available at this time. In accordance with Instruction 2 to Item 2.05 of Form 8-K, the Company will timely file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K after that information becomes available.

Appointment of Board Member

 

On January 27, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Raj Singh to serve as a Board member until the Company’s next annual meeting of shareholders. Mr. Singh was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Board that resulted from an increase in the size of the Board from seven to eight members. Mr. Singh will participate in the current director compensation arrangements generally applicable to the Company’s non-employee directors as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement filed in connection with the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Singh and other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director. No determination has been made at this time as to any Board committees on which Mr. Singh will serve. The Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determined Mr. Singh to be independent for purposes of NYSE listing standards. Mr. Singh has not engaged in any transaction with the Company that would be reportable as a related party transaction under Item 404(a) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K.

 

Mr. Singh worked in the investment banking practice of Raymond James for more than 20 years, including most recently as Vice Chairman – Investment Banking from 2017 to 2023. During his career, Mr. Singh managed over 150 investment banking transactions, including M&A transactions, debt and equity financings, balance sheet recapitalizations, in and out-of-court restructurings, financial opinions, and valuations. Mr. Singh’s expertise includes working effectively with companies requiring significant organizational changes to achieve success and overcome financial, industry, and market challenges. Mr. Singh holds FINRA Series 7 and 63 licenses in addition to being a Certified Public Accountant (NJ inactive). He earned an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a BS in Accounting from Rutgers University.
