Bitty Purchase Agreement

On July 31, 2024, Opportunity Financial, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OppFi-LLC”), and Opportunity Financial SMB, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), each a subsidiary of OppFi Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among OppFi-LLC, the Buyer, Blaze Capital Funding 5, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (the “Seller”), and the seller principals party thereto (collectively with the Seller, the “Seller Parties”), pursuant to which the Buyer acquired 35% of the outstanding equity securities of Bitty Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Bitty”, and such acquisition, the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition closed on July 31, 2024 (the “Closing Date”). Bitty is a credit access company that offers revenue-based financing and other working capital solutions.

The aggregate consideration paid to the Seller in connection with the Acquisition consisted of (i) a cash payment of approximately $15.25 million and (ii) 734,851 Class A Common Units of OppFi-LLC (the “OppFi-LLC Equity”), valued at approximately $2.7 million. In accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OppFi-LLC (the “A&R LLC Agreement”), the Company also issued 734,851 shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class V Voting Stock”) to OppFi Shares, LLC, which number of shares of Class V Voting Stock was equal to the number of Class A Common Units of OppFi-LLC issued to the Seller.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer has a right to purchase from the Seller an additional thirty percent (30%) of the equity securities of Bitty (the “First Call Option”) within a specific time period from the date that is three (3) years from the Closing Date, and (b) the right to purchase from the Seller all remaining equity securities of Bitty not held by the Buyer (the “Second Call Option” and together with the First Call Option, the “Call Options” and each, a “Call Option”) within a specific time period from the date that is six (6) years from the Closing Date, contingent upon the Buyer exercising the First Call Option. The aggregate purchase price for the equity securities, payable in cash unless otherwise agreed by the Seller and the Buyer, in (a) the First Call Option will be equal to thirty percent (30%) of the product of six times (6x) the trailing twelve (12) month post-tax earnings of Bitty as of June 30, 2027, and (b) the Second Call Option will be equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the product of six times (6x) the trailing twelve (12) month post-tax earnings of Bitty as of June 30, 2030.

In the event the Buyer does not exercise the First Call Option or the Second Call Option, the Board of Managers of Bitty will have the right to initiate a process to effectuate a sale of 100% of the equity securities of Bitty through a bona fide sale or auction process, subject to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of Bitty.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities of the parties thereto, including restrictive covenants of the Seller Parties with respect to non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality obligations.

Joinder and Lock-up Agreement

On the Closing Date, and in connection with the Acquisition, the Company and OppFi-LLC entered into a Joinder and Lock-up Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2024, by and among the Company, OppFi-LLC and the Seller (the “Lock-Up Agreement”). Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, the Seller agreed to join in and become a party to the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OppFi-LLC. In addition, the Seller agreed not to effect any transfer, or make a public announcement of any intention to effect such transfer, of any of the OppFi-LLC Equity received as consideration for the Acquisition, subject to certain permitted transfers (the “Lock-Up”). Subject to certain exceptions in the Lock-Up Agreement, the Lock-Up will expire with respect to one-fifth (1/5th) of the OppFi-LLC Equity on each of the first five anniversaries of the Closing Date.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Lock-Up Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
