Item 8.01. Other Events

On November 18, 2021, BTRS Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), announced the commencement of (i) its offer to each holder of its outstanding warrants, each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class 1 Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the "Warrants"), the opportunity to receive 0.30 shares of Common Stock in exchange for each Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the "Offer"), and (ii) the solicitation of consents (the "Consent Solicitation") from holders of the Warrants ("the Consent Warrants") to amend the Warrant Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2019, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Warrant Amendment"), which governs all of the Warrants. If approved, the Warrant Amendment would permit the Company to require that each Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.27 shares of Common Stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer. The Offer and Consent Solicitation are made solely upon the terms and conditions in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and other related offering materials that are being distributed to the holders of the Warrants. The Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on December 16, 2021, or such later time and date to which the Company may extend. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, all except certain specified modifications or amendments require the vote or written consent of holders of at least 50% of the Warrants. Accordingly, the adoption of the Warrant Amendment will require the consent of holders of at least 50% of the Warrants. Parties representing approximately 56.44% of the Warrants have agreed to tender their Warrants in the Offer and to consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation, pursuant to a tender and support agreement. Accordingly, if the other conditions of the Offer are satisfied or waived, then the Warrant Amendment will be adopted.

On November 18, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the commencement of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Form 8-K are "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "estimate," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "target," "guidance," "outlook" or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Billtrust's financial guidance and estimates and forecasts of Billtrust's financial and performance metrics, the potential benefits, value and the commercial attractiveness to its customers of Billtrust's products and services, Billtrust's opportunity and ability to grow and scale its business, and Billtrust's technology platform. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of Billtrust's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Billtrust. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including Billtrust's ability to successfully complete the Offer and Consent Solicitation; ability to attract and retain customers and expand customers' use of Billtrust's services; market, financial, political and legal conditions; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Billtrust's business and the global economy; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial and operating information with respect to Billtrust; risks related to future market adoption of Billtrust's offerings; risks related to Billtrust's marketing and growth strategies; risks related to expanding Billtrust's operations outside the United States; risks related to Billtrust's ability to acquire or invest in businesses, products, or technologies that may complement or expand its products or platforms, enhance its technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities; the effects of competition on Billtrust's future business; and the risks discussed in Billtrust's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on November 18, 2021, under the heading "Risk Factors" and other documents of Billtrust filed, or to be filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). If any of these risks materialize or any of Billtrust's assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Billtrust presently does not know of or that Billtrust currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Billtrust's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Form 8-K. Billtrust anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Billtrust's assessments to change. However, while Billtrust may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Billtrust specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Billtrust's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
