Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, products, services, and technology offerings, market conditions, growth and trends, expansion plans and opportunities, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “preliminary,” “likely” and similar expressions, and the negative of these expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include, among other things:

•

disruption to our business and results of operations as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic, including variant strains (“COVID-19”);

•

customer concentration in our Commercial Services and Government Solutions segments;

•

the impact of COVID-19 on our revenues from key customers in our Commercial Services, Government Solutions and Parking Solutions segments;

•

risks and uncertainties related to our government contracts, including legislative changes, termination rights, delays in payments, audits and investigations;

•

decreases in the prevalence of automated and other similar methods of photo enforcement, parking solutions or the use of tolling;

•

decreased interest in outsourcing from our customers;

•

our ability to properly perform under our contracts and otherwise satisfy our customers;

•

our ability to compete in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market;

•

our ability to keep up with technological developments and changing customer preferences;

•

the success of our new products and changes to existing products and services;

•

our ability to successfully implement our acquisition strategy or integrate acquisitions;

•

failure in or breaches of our networks or systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks;

•

our ability to manage the risks, uncertainties and exposures related to our international operations;

•

our ability to acquire necessary intellectual property and adequately protect our existing intellectual property;

•

our ability to manage our substantial level of indebtedness;

•

our reliance on a limited number of third-party vendors and service providers;

•

our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls; and

•

risks and uncertainties related to litigation, disputes and regulatory investigations.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Verra Mobility,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Verra Mobility Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Notes to the CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business

Verra Mobility Corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Verra Mobility”), formerly known as Gores Holdings II, Inc. (“Gores”), was originally incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2016, as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. On January 19, 2017, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”), following which its shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). On June 21, 2018, Gores entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Greenlight Holding II Corporation, PE Greenlight Holdings, LLC, AM Merger Sub I, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Gores and AM Merger Sub II, LLC, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Gores. On October 17, 2018, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”) were consummated. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Gores changed its name to Verra Mobility Corporation. As a result of the Business Combination, Verra Mobility Corporation became the owner, directly or indirectly, of all of the equity interests of Verra Mobility Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries.

Verra Mobility offers integrated technology solutions and services to its customers who are located throughout the world, primarily within the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe. The Company is organized into three operating segments: Commercial Services, Government Solutions and Parking Solutions (see Note 14, Segment Reporting).

The Commercial Services segment offers toll and violation management solutions for the commercial fleet and rental car industries by partnering with the leading fleet management and rental car companies in North America. Electronic toll payment services enable fleet drivers and rental car customers to use high-speed cashless toll lanes or all-electronic cashless toll roads. The service helps commercial fleets reduce toll management costs, while it provides rental car companies with a revenue-generating, value-added service for their customers. Electronic violation processing services reduce the cost and risk associated with vehicle-issued violations, such as toll, parking or camera-enforced tickets. Title and registration services offer title and registration processing for individuals, rental car companies and fleet management companies. In Europe, the Company provides violations processing through Euro Parking Collection plc (“EPC”) and consumer tolling services through Pagatelia S.L (“Pagatelia”).

The Government Solutions segment offers photo enforcement solutions and services to its customers. Through its acquisition of Redflex Holdings Limited (“Redflex”) on June 17, 2021, the Company expanded its current footprint in the United States and gained access to international markets (see Note 3, Acquisitions). The Government Solutions segment provides complete, end-to-end speed, red-light, school bus stop arm and bus lane enforcement solutions within the United States and Canada. These programs are designed to reduce traffic violations and resulting collisions, injuries, and fatalities. The Company implements and administers traffic safety programs for municipalities, counties, school districts and law enforcement agencies of all sizes. The international operations acquired through Redflex primarily involve the sale of traffic enforcement products and related maintenance services.

The Parking Solutions segment offers an integrated suite of parking software and hardware solutions to its customers, which include universities, municipalities, parking operators, healthcare facilities and transportation hubs. The Company added this new operating segment as a result of the acquisition of T2 Systems Parent Corporation (“T2 Systems”) on December 7, 2021, which allows the Company to diversify its operations into the parking solutions space (see Note 3. Acquisitions). The Parking Solutions segment develops specialized hardware and parking management software that provides a platform for the issuance of parking permits, enforcement, gateless vehicle counting, event parking and citation services. T2 Systems also produces and markets its proprietary software as a service to its customers throughout the United States and Canada.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions include those related to the fair values assigned to net assets acquired (including identifiable intangibles) in business combinations, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, allowance for credit losses, fair value of the private placement warrant liabilities, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, impairment assessments of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, asset retirement obligations, contingent consideration and the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies.

Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Significant customers are those which represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue or accounts receivable, net. Revenue from the single Government Solutions customer exceeding 10% of total revenue is presented below:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022			2021
City of New York Department of Transportation		19.3	%		24.4	%

The City of New York Department of Transportation (“NYCDOT”) represented 29% and 39% of total accounts receivable, net as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. There is no material reserve related to NYCDOT open receivables as amounts are deemed collectible based on current conditions and expectations. No other Government Solutions customer exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable, net as of any period presented.

Significant customer revenue concentrations generated through the Company’s Commercial Services partners as a percent of total revenue are presented below:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022			2021
Hertz Corporation		11.1	%		13.8	%
Avis Budget Group, Inc.		11.4	%		11.2	%
Enterprise Holdings, Inc.		9.0	%		14.5	%

No Commercial Services customer exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable, net as of any period presented.

There were no significant customer concentrations that exceeded 10% of total revenue or accounts receivables, net for the Parking Solutions segment.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company reviews historical credit losses and customer payment trends on receivables and develops loss rate estimates as of the balance sheet date, which includes adjustments for current and future expectations using probability-weighted assumptions about potential outcomes. Receivables are written off against the allowance for credit losses when it is probable that amounts will not be collected based on the terms of the customer contracts, and subsequent recoveries reverse the previous write-off and apply to the receivable in the period recovered. No interest or late fees are charged on delinquent accounts. The Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for expected credit losses by comparing its actual write-offs to its previously recorded estimates and adjusts appropriately.

The Company identified portfolio segments based on the type of business, industry in which the customer operates and historical credit loss patterns. The following presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively:


($ in thousands)	Commercial Services (Driver-billed) (1)			Commercial Services (All other)			Government Solutions		Parking Solutions			Total
Balance at January 1, 2022	$	5,397		$	3,092		$	3,649	$	—		$	12,138
Credit loss expense		2,868			246			232		159			3,505
Write-offs, net of recoveries		(1,221	)		(15	)		—		(108	)		(1,344	)
Balance at March 31, 2022	$	7,044		$	3,323		$	3,881	$	51		$	14,299


($ in thousands)	Commercial Services (Driver-billed) (1)			Commercial Services (All other)		Government Solutions			Total
Balance at January 1, 2021	$	3,210		$	4,277	$	3,984		$	11,471
Credit loss expense		2,252			143		7			2,402
Write-offs, net of recoveries		(1,722	)		2		(21	)		(1,741	)
Balance at March 31, 2021	$	3,740		$	4,422	$	3,970		$	12,132

(1)

Driver-billed consists of receivables from drivers of rental cars and fleet management companies for which the Company bills on behalf of its customers. Receivables not collected from drivers within a defined number of days are transferred to customers subject to applicable bad debt sharing agreements.

The Commercial Services (Driver-billed) portfolio segment’s credit loss estimate as of March 31, 2022 increased compared to the prior year due to increased revenue that impacted the volume of transactions as a result of recovery from COVID-19. The Commercial Services (All other) segment’s credit loss estimate as of March 31, 2022 decreased compared to the prior year which reflects improved economic conditions based on customer payment trends in the last 12 months.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents amounts that have been invoiced in advance and are expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods, and it primarily relates to the Government Solutions and Parking Solutions customers. The Company had approximately $10.0 million and $8.9 million of deferred revenue in the Government Solutions segment as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The majority of the remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2022 are expected to be completed and recognized as revenue in the next twelve months and $3.5 million is expected to be recognized between 2023 through 2027. The Company had approximately $20.0 million and $20.9 million of deferred revenue as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, for the Parking Solutions customers which is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted

In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This ASU provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another topic. It specifically addresses the measurement and recognition of the effect of a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option if it remains equity-classified after the modification or exchange. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2022, which did not have an impact on its financial statements and related disclosures, as the Company had no transactions subject to the standard. If the Company were to have modifications or exchanges in the future, such guidance would apply.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, to increase transparency in financial reporting by requiring business entities to disclose information about certain types of government assistance they receive. The amendments require annual disclosures regarding the nature of any transactions with a government accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy

and the related accounting policy used, the effect of the assistance on the entity’s financial statements, and the significant terms and conditions of the transactions. The Company adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2022, which did not have a material impact on its financial statements or related disclosures.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. It provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period.

Under the terms of the 2021 Term Loan discussed in Note 7 below, in the event there is a benchmark transition away from LIBOR, a benchmark replacement rate has been defined in the 2021 Term Loan along with the mechanism for such a transition to take place. The Company does not anticipate this transition will have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. Acquisitions

Redflex Acquisition

On June 17, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Redflex, an Australian public company limited by shares and formerly listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. At the closing of the Redflex acquisition, VM Consolidated, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased one hundred percent of the outstanding equity of Redflex at A$0.96 per share at consideration of A$152.5 million, or approximately US$117.9 million. Transaction costs for Redflex were $9.7 million which primarily related to professional fees and other expenses related to the acquisition. Redflex is a provider of intelligent traffic management products and services that are sold and managed in the Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and Middle East regions. Redflex designs, manufactures, and operates a wide range of platform-based solutions, utilizing advanced sensor and image capture technologies that enable active management of state and local motorways.

The Company finalized the evaluation of historical Redflex tax positions and the impact on assumed uncertain tax positions and other tax attributes during the three months ended March 31, 2022 which did not result in any changes to the previously disclosed amounts at December 31, 2021.

Goodwill consists largely of the expected cash flows and future growth anticipated for the Company and was assigned to the Company’s Government Solutions segment. Management has determined that the Redflex international operations represent a new reporting unit for the purposes of assessing potential impairment of goodwill, and as a result of the acquisition, the Government Solutions segment has two reporting units. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The customer relationships value was based on the multi-period excess earnings methodology utilizing projected cash flows. The significant assumptions used to value customer relationships included, among others, customer churn rates, forecasted revenue growth rates attributable to existing customers, forecasted EBITDA margins and the discount rate. The values for the trademark and the developed technology related assets were based on a relief-from-royalty method. The significant assumptions used to value these intangible assets included, among others, forecasted revenue growth rates, royalty rates and the expected obsolescence curve. The trademark, customer relationships and the developed technology related assets were assigned useful lives of 5.0 years, 10.0 years, and 8.7 years, respectively.

T2 Systems Acquisition

On December 7, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of T2 Systems Parent Corporation (“T2 Systems”), which offers an integrated suite of parking software and hardware solutions to its customers.

Other liabilities		4,228
Total liabilities assumed		72,989
Goodwill		195,226
Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	353,237

Goodwill consists largely of the expected cash flows and future growth anticipated for the Company and was assigned to the Company’s Parking Solutions segment. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary customer relationships value was based on the multi-period excess earnings methodology utilizing projected cash flows. The significant assumptions used to value customer relationships included, among others, customer upsell and churn rates,

forecasted revenue growth rates attributable to existing customers, forecasted EBITDA margins and the discount rate. The preliminary values for the trademark and the developed technology related assets were based on a relief-from-royalty method. The significant assumptions used to value these intangible assets included, among others, forecasted revenue growth rates, royalty rates and the expected obsolescence curve. The trademark, customer relationships and the developed technology related assets were assigned preliminary useful lives of 10.0 years, 10.0 years, and 6.1 years, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary. The primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of unbilled receivables, intangible assets acquired, deferred revenue, legal and other contingencies as of the acquisition date, income and non-income based taxes and residual goodwill. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

NuPark Acquisition

On December 13, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of NuPark (“NuPark”), a provider of parking services and permit management product platform from Passport Labs, Inc., which expanded the Company's presence in the United States in the Parking Solutions segment. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred to Passport Labs, Inc. was approximately $7.0 million, which consisted primarily of $5.0 million of cash paid at closing and $1.5 million of contingent consideration payable. The Company recorded $0.3 million of tangible assets, $4.9 million of customer relationships intangible assets valued using a multi-period excess earnings methodology, with a preliminary estimated useful life of 10.0 years, and $1.3 million of assumed liabilities which was primarily deferred revenue. Goodwill recorded was $3.2 million for future growth anticipated for the Company and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminary estimates and the Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. The Company has included the financial results of NuPark in the financial statements from the date of acquisition, which were not material. The transaction costs for the acquisition were not material.

2021 Term Loan and Senior Notes

In March 2021, VM Consolidated, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement No.1 to the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “2021 Term Loan”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 Term Loan has an aggregate borrowing of $650 million, maturing on March 26, 2028, and an accordion feature providing for an additional $250 million of term loans, subject to satisfaction of certain requirements. In connection with the 2021 Term Loan, the Company had an offering discount cost of $3.3 million and $0.7 million of deferred financing costs, both of which were capitalized and are amortized over the remaining life of the 2021 Term Loan.

In addition, in March 2021, VM Consolidated, Inc. issued an aggregate principal amount of $350 million in Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Senior Notes”), due on April 15, 2029. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company incurred $5.7 million in lender and third-party costs, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.

The net proceeds from both the 2021 Term Loan and the Senior Notes received in March 2021 were used to repay in full all outstanding debt which was represented by the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (as amended, the “2018 Term Loan”) with a balance of $865.6 million.

On December 7, 2021, VM Consolidated Inc., entered into an agreement to exercise the accordion feature under the 2021 Term Loan, borrowing $250 million in incremental term loans (“Incremental Term Loan”). The proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan were used, along with cash on hand, to fund the acquisition of T2 Systems, including repaying in full all outstanding debt for T2 Systems. In connection with the Incremental Term Loan, the Company had an offering discount cost of $1.3 million and $3.8 million of deferred financing costs, both of which were capitalized and are amortized over the remaining life of the 2021 Term Loan. The Incremental Term Loan accrued interest from the date of borrowing until December 31, 2021, at which time, it was combined with the 2021 Term Loan to be a single tranche of term loan borrowings. The total principal outstanding under the 2021 Term Loan, which includes the Incremental Term Loan, was $892.9 million at March 31, 2022.

The 2021 Term Loan is repayable at 1.0% per annum of the amount initially borrowed, paid in quarterly installments. It bears interest based, at the Company’s option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum. As of March 31, 2022, the interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan was 3.6%.

In addition, the 2021 Term Loan requires mandatory prepayments equal to the product of the excess cash flows of the Company (as defined in the 2021 Term Loan agreement) and the applicable prepayment percentages (calculated as of the last day of the fiscal year, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2022), as set forth in the following table:


Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (As Defined by the 2021 Term Loan Agreement)		Applicable Prepayment Percentage
> 3.70:1.00		50%
< 3.70:1.00 and > 3.20:1.00		25%
< 3.20:1.00		0%

Interest on the Senior Notes is fixed at 5.50% per annum and is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. On or after April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below in percentages by year, plus accrued and unpaid interest:


Year		Percentage
2024		102.750%
2025		101.375%
2026 and thereafter		100.000%

In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes before April 15, 2024, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings.

The Company evaluated the March 2021 refinancing transactions on a lender-by-lender basis and accounted for the portion of the transaction that did not meet the accounting criteria for debt extinguishment as a debt modification. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.3 million on the 2018 Term Loan during the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisting of a $4.0 million write-off of pre-existing deferred financing costs and discounts and $1.3 million of lender and third-party costs associated with the issuance of the 2021 Term Loan.

PPP Loan

During fiscal year 2020, Redflex received a loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loan”) to offset certain employment and other allowable costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. At March 31, 2022, the loan amount outstanding was $2.9 million and was included in the current portion of long-term debt. In early 2021, Redflex applied for forgiveness of this loan and, as of March 31, 2022, was still awaiting approval from the SBA.

The Revolver

The Company has a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver”) with a commitment of up to $75 million available for loans and letters of credit. The Revolver matures on December 20, 2026. Borrowing eligibility under the Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation based on (i) certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less (ii) certain reserve items, including outstanding letters of credit and other reserves. The Revolver bears interest on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin. The margin percentage applied to (1) LIBOR is either 1.25%, 1.50%, or 1.75%, or (2) the base rate is either 0.25%, 0.50%, or 0.75%, depending on the Company’s average availability to borrow under the commitment. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $25.0 million in outstanding borrowings on the Revolver, which was repaid in full in January 2022. At March 31, 2022, the availability to borrow was $68.8 million, net of $6.2 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Interest on the unused portion of the Revolver is payable quarterly at 0.375% and the Company is also required to pay participation and fronting fees at 1.38% on $6.2 million of outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2022.

All borrowings and other extensions of credits under the 2021 Term Loan, Senior Notes and the Revolver are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictive covenants including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral to secure the Company’s indebtedness under the 2021 Term Loan.

On March 31, 2022, the Company notified its lenders that it was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within 90 days following the year ended December 31, 2021, as is required under the 2021 Term Loan, Senior Notes, and the Revolver. While the Company was compliant with all debt covenants at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, the late filing created

a technical default when the filing requirement was not met; however, this did not result in an Event of Default under the 2021 Term Loan, Senior Notes, and the Revolver as the Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed within the 30-day cure period allowed by these agreements for late filing of annual financial statements.

Interest Expense

The Company recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, of $14.3 million and $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The weighted average effective interest rate on the Company’s outstanding borrowings was 4.1% at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, includes a single definition of fair value to be used for financial reporting purposes, provides a framework for applying this definition and for measuring fair value under GAAP, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

Level 1 – Fair value is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow, or similar technique.

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and the PPP Loan approximate fair value due to the immediate to short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was calculated based upon available market information. The carrying value and the estimated fair value are as follows:


	Level in	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Fair Value	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
($ in thousands)	Hierarchy	Amount		Fair Value		Amount		Fair Value
2021 Term Loan	2	$	870,209	$	889,522	$	871,467	$	895,125
Senior Notes	2		345,086		330,313		344,918		355,250
Revolver	2		—		—		24,435		25,000

The fair value of the private placement warrant liabilities is measured on a recurring basis and is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using significant unobservable inputs, primarily related to estimated volatility, and is therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The key assumptions used were as follows:


	March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Stock price	$	16.28		$	15.43
Strike price	$	11.50		$	11.50
Volatility		47.0	%		48.0	%
Remaining life (in years)		1.5			1.8
Risk-free interest rate		1.99	%		0.66	%
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Estimated fair value	$	6.33		$	5.77

The Company is exposed to valuation risk on these Level 3 financial instruments. The risk of exposure is estimated using a sensitivity analysis of potential changes in the significant unobservable inputs, primarily the volatility input that is the most susceptible to valuation risk. A 5% increase or decrease to the volatility input at March 31, 2022 would increase or

decrease the estimated fair value by $0.26 per unit. The following summarizes the changes in fair value of private placement warrant liabilities included in net income (loss) for the respective periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2022		2021
Beginning balance	$	38,466	$	30,866
Change in fair value of private placement warrants		3,734		2,067
Ending balance	$	42,200	$	32,933

The Company has an equity investment measured at cost of $3.7 million and is only adjusted to fair value if there are identified events that would indicate a need for an upward or downward adjustment or changes in circumstances that may indicate impairment. The estimation of fair value requires the use of significant unobservable inputs, such as voting rights and obligations in the securities held, and is therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no identified events that required a fair value adjustment as of March 31, 2022.

The fair value of the contingent consideration payable in connection with the NuPark acquisition was $1.5 million at December 13, 2021 acquisition date and was classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the contingent consideration was measured using a discounted cash flow model and the significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement relate to forecasts of annualized revenue developed by the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company made a payment of approximately $0.4 million and as a result the contingent consideration payable was $1.1 million as of March 31, 2022.

9. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method.

The components of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands, except per share data)	2022		2021
Numerator:
Net income (loss)	$	10,040	$	(8,915	)
Denominator:
Weighted average shares - basic		156,130		162,297
Common stock equivalents		4,619		—
Weighted average shares - diluted		160,749		162,297
Net income (loss) per share - basic	$	0.06	$	(0.05	)
Net income (loss) per share - diluted	$	0.06	$	(0.05	)
Antidilutive shares excluded from diluted net income (loss) per share:
Contingently issuable shares (1)		5,000		5,000
Public warrants		—		13,333
Private placement warrants		6,667		6,667
Non-qualified stock options		710		1,205
Performance share units		—		229
Restricted stock units		32		2,582
Total antidilutive shares excluded		12,409		29,016

(1) Contingently issuable shares relate to the earn-out agreement as discussed in Note 12, Related Party Transactions.

10. Income Taxes

The Company’s interim income tax provision (benefit) is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that period. The estimated annual effective tax rate requires judgment and is dependent upon several factors. The Company provides for income taxes under the liability method. This approach requires the recognition

of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit. The Company calculates the valuation allowance in accordance with the authoritative guidance relating to income taxes, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of these deferred tax assets, when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 40.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the effective income tax benefit rate was 24.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The primary driver for the effective tax rate variance was the increase in pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $8.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to prior year tax positions related to certain tax elections for Redflex U.S. legal entities. As of March 31, 2022, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $11.0 million, of which $2.2 million would affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through income tax expense. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $0.1 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $8.0 million in unrecognized tax benefits may be necessary within the coming year related to the resolution and effectiveness of the tax elections for the Redflex U.S. legal entities.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 requires taxpayers to capitalize, and subsequently amortize R&D expenses over five years for research activities conducted in the U.S. and over fifteen years for research activities conducted outside of the U.S. This will result in an increase to our U.S. income tax liability and net deferred tax assets. The actual impact will depend on multiple factors, including the amount of R&D expenses incurred and whether the research activities are performed within or outside of the U.S.

The Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. The Company files U.S. federal and various foreign income tax returns which are subject to examination by the taxing authorities in the respective jurisdictions, generally for three or four years after they are filed. The Company’s state income tax returns are generally no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities prior to 2018; however, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and research credit carryforwards arising prior to that year are subject to adjustment. The Company is currently under audit by various state tax jurisdictions for the years 2018 and 2019, however, no material adjustments are anticipated. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of tax deficiencies in each of the tax jurisdictions and, accordingly, makes appropriate adjustments to the tax provision as deemed necessary.

11. Stock-Based Compensation

The following details the components of stock-based compensation for the respective periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2022		2021
Operating expenses	$	214	$	194
Selling, general and administrative expenses		4,232		2,714
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	4,446	$	2,908

The increase in stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to the accelerated vesting of RSUs granted to an executive officer as part of a separation agreement.

12. Related Party Transactions

Tax Receivable Agreement

At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with PE Greenlight Holdings, LLC (the “Platinum Stockholder”). The TRA generally provides for the payment to the Platinum Stockholder of 50% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the closing of the Business Combination as a result of the increased tax basis of certain acquired intangibles prior to the Business Combination. The Company generally retains the benefit of the remaining 50% of these cash savings. The Company estimated the potential maximum benefit to be paid will be approximately $70.0 million, and recorded an initial liability and corresponding charge to equity at the closing of the Business Combination. Subsequently, the Company made adjustments to this amount.

At March 31, 2022, the TRA liability was approximately $61.7 million of which $5.1 million was the current portion and $56.6 million was the non-current portion, both of which are included in the respective payable to related party pursuant to tax receivable agreement line items on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Earn-Out Agreement

Under the Merger Agreement, the Platinum Stockholder is entitled to receive additional shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”) if the volume weighted average closing sale price of one share of Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq exceeds certain thresholds for a period of at least 10 days out of 20 consecutive trading days at any time during the five-year period following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Common Stock Price”).

The Earn-Out Shares are issued by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder as follows:


Common Stock Price Thresholds		One-time Issuance of Shares
> $13.00 (a)		2,500,000
> $15.50 (a)		2,500,000
> $18.00		2,500,000
> $20.50		2,500,000

(a)

The first and second tranches of Earn-Out Shares have been issued, as discussed below.

If any of the Common Stock Price thresholds above (each, a “Triggering Event”) are not achieved within the five-year period following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will not be required to issue the Earn-Out Shares in respect of such Common Stock Price threshold. In no event shall the Platinum Stockholder be entitled to receive more than an aggregate of 10,000,000 Earn-Out Shares.

If, during the earn-out period, there is a change of control (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that will result in the holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of the applicable Common Stock Price required in connection with any Triggering Event (an “Acceleration Event”), then immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control: (a) any such Triggering Event that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred; and (b) the Company shall issue the applicable Earn-Out Shares to the cash consideration stockholders (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (in accordance with their respective pro rata cash share), and the recipients of the issued Earn-Out Shares shall be eligible to participate in such change of control.

The Company estimated the original fair value of the contingently issuable shares to be $73.15 million, of which $36.6 million remains contingently issuable as of March 31, 2022. The estimated value is not subject to future revisions during the five-year period discussed above. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation option-pricing model to arrive at its original estimate. Each tranche was valued separately giving specific consideration to the tranche’s price target. The simulation considered volatility and risk-free rates utilizing a peer group based on a five-year term. This was initially recorded as a distribution to shareholders and was presented as common stock contingent consideration. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, any issuable shares would be transferred from common stock contingent consideration to common stock and additional paid-in capital accounts. Any contingently issuable shares not issued as a result of a Triggering Event not being attained by the end of the earn-out period will be canceled.

On April 26, 2019 and on January 27, 2020, the Triggering Events for the issuance of the first and second tranches of Earn-Out Shares occurred, as the volume weighted average closing sale price per share of the Company’s Class A Common

Stock as of that date had been greater than $13.00 and $15.50, respectively, for 10 out of 20 consecutive trading days. These Triggering Events resulted in the issuance of an aggregate 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to the Platinum Stockholder and an increase in the Company’s common stock and additional paid-in capital accounts of $36.6 million, with a corresponding decrease to the common stock contingent consideration account. At March 31, 2022, the potential future Earn-Out Shares issuable are between zero and 5.0 million.

Go Safe Investment

Redflex Irish Investments Pty Ltd, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, owns a 16% non-voting equity interest in Road Safety Operations Holdings Unlimited, which has a subsidiary, Road Safety Operations Holdings T/A Go Safe Ireland ("Go Safe"), who provides speed and traffic enforcement services and related equipment to its customers in Ireland. This investment was approximately $3.7 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and is presented within other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is engaged as a vendor to supply equipment and services to Go Safe and related revenues earned were approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has issued various letters of credit under contractual arrangements with certain of its domestic vendors and customers. Outstanding letters of credit under these arrangements totaled $6.2 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company has $2.0 million of bank guarantees at March 31, 2022 required to support bids and contracts with certain international customers.

The Company has non-cancelable purchase commitments to certain vendors. The aggregate non-cancelable purchase commitments outstanding at March 31, 2022 were $41.3 million. The majority of these outstanding commitments are expected to be incurred in the next twelve months and approximately $2.1 million is expected to be incurred during 2023 through 2024.

The Company is subject to tax audits in the normal course of business and does not have material contingencies recorded related to such audits.

The Company accrues for claims and contingencies when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, the Company reviews each of its matters and, where it is probable that a liability has been or will be incurred, the Company accrues for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. Where the Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss it may incur regarding such a matter, the Company records an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes its best estimate. If the Company can reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, the Company uses the amount that is the low end of such range.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes it is probable a loss will be incurred and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable, reasonably possible or remote, and as to whether a loss or a range of such loss is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events. The Company has determined that resolution of pending matters is not probable to have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial position, and accordingly, no material contingency accruals are recorded. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability.

Brantley v. City of Gretna is a class action lawsuit filed in the 24th Judicial District Court of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana against the City of Gretna (“City”) and its safety camera vendor, Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. in April 2016. The plaintiff class, which was certified on March 30, 2021, alleges that the City’s safety camera program was implemented and operated in violation of local ordinances and the state constitution, including that the City’s hearing process violated the plaintiffs’ due process rights for lack of a “neutral” arbiter of liability for traffic infractions. Plaintiffs seek recovery of traffic infraction fines paid. The City and Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. have appealed the trial court’s ruling granting class certification, which remains pending. Based on the information available to the Company at present, it cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss for this action and, accordingly, it has not accrued any liability associated with this action.

14. Segment Reporting

The Company has three operating and reportable segments, Commercial Services, Government Solutions and Parking Solutions. Commercial Services offers toll and violation management solutions and title and registration services to commercial fleet vehicle owners, rental car companies and violation-issuing authorities. Government Solutions implements and administers traffic safety programs and products for municipalities and government agencies of all sizes. As a result of the acquisition of T2 Systems completed in December 2021, the Company added a new reportable segment determined based on the type of products and services offered. T2 Systems provides an integrated suite of parking software and hardware solutions to its customers. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker function (“CODM”) is comprised of the Company’s CEO and certain defined representatives of the Company’s executive management team. The Company’s CODM monitors operating performance, allocates resources and deploys capital based on these three segments.

Segment performance is based on revenues and income from operations before depreciation, amortization, (gain) loss on disposal of assets, net, and stock-based compensation. The measure also excludes interest expense, net, income taxes and certain other transactions and is inclusive of other income, net. The tables below refer to this measure as segment profit (loss). The aforementioned items are not indicative of operating performance, and, as a result are not included in the measures that

are reviewed by the CODM for the segments. Other income, net consists primarily of credit card rebates earned on the prepayment of tolling transactions and is therefore included in segment profit (loss).

The following tables set forth financial information by segment for the respective periods:

Primary Components of Our Operating Results

Revenues

Service Revenue. Our Commercial Services segment generates service revenue primarily through the operation and management of tolling programs and processing violations for RACs, FMCs and other large fleet customers. These solutions are full-service offerings by which we enroll the license plates of our customers’ vehicles and transponders with tolling authority accounts, pay tolls and violations on the customers’ behalf and, through proprietary technology, integrate with customer data to match the toll or violation to the driver and then bill the driver (or our customer, as applicable) for use of the service. The cost of certain tolls, violations and our customers’ share of administration fees are netted against revenue. We also generate service revenue in our Commercial Services segment through processing titles and registrations for our customers.

Our Government Solutions segment generates service revenue through the operation and maintenance of photo enforcement systems. Revenue drivers in this segment include the number of systems installed and the monthly revenue per system. Ancillary service revenue is generated in our Government Solutions segment from payment processing, pass-through fees for collection expense, and other fees.

Our Parking Solutions segment generates service revenue mainly from offering software as a service, subscription fees, professional services and citation processing services related to parking management solutions to its customers.

Product Sales. Product sales are generated by the sale of photo enforcement equipment in the Government Solutions segment and specialized hardware in the Parking Solutions segment. Customer buying patterns vary greatly from period to period related to product sales.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue consists of collection and other professional services provided by third parties associated with the delivery of certain ancillary services performed by our segments.

Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales consists of the cost to acquire and install photo enforcement equipment purchased by Government Solutions customers and costs to develop and install hardware sold to Parking Solutions customers.

Service Revenue. Service revenue increased by $71.4 million, or 79.5%, to $161.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $89.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing 94.6% and 99.9% of total revenue, respectively. The following table depicts service revenue by segment:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
					Percentage of Revenue						Increase (Decrease) 2022 vs 2021
($ in thousands)	2022		2021		2022			2021			$		%
Service revenue
Commercial Services	$	73,465	$	45,689		43.1	%		50.9	%	$	27,776		60.8	%
Government Solutions		73,224		44,074		43.0	%		49.0	%		29,150		66.1	%
Parking Solutions		14,445		—		8.5	%		—			14,445	n/a
Total service revenue	$	161,134	$	89,763		94.6	%		99.9	%	$	71,371		79.5	%

Commercial Services service revenue increased by $27.8 million, or 60.8%, from $45.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $73.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to the increased travel demand in the RAC industry that impacted volume in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year which was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Government Solutions service revenue includes revenue from speed, red-light, school bus stop arm and bus lane photo enforcement systems. Service revenue was $73.2 million and $44.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and it increased by $29.1 million. The Redflex acquisition contributed approximately $17 million to our growth. Organic growth excluding Redflex was approximately $12 million, which was primarily driven by the expansion of school zone speed programs, and speed is the largest product in this segment. We added 779 speed cameras in 2021, excluding Redflex, which provided year-over-year growth in 2022 and 111 speed cameras for the three months ended March 31, 2022 which provided growth in the current period and will continue to provide growth for the remainder of 2022. The remaining growth can be attributable to other expansions and improvement in variable rate programs that returned to more normalized volume as COVID-19 restrictions lifted throughout 2021.

Parking Solutions service revenue of $14.4 million resulted from our acquisition of T2 systems in December 2021 with no revenue in the comparable period.

Product Sales. Product sales were $9.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Product sales increased by $9.2 million which was mainly due to $6.0 million of product revenue generated from the Redflex and T2 Systems acquisitions for which there was no revenue in the comparable 2021 period. Prior to these acquisitions, product revenue was limited to a few large customers whose buying patterns varied greatly from period to period. Product sales for these customers contributed to the remaining increase due to an additional 46 units sold.

Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue increased from $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $2.9 million increase was mainly attributable to the inclusion of costs in the Parking Solutions segment with no comparable amounts in the prior year.

Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales increased by $5.9 million from less than $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was consistent with the increase in product sales discussed above.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by $20.6 million, or 67.5%, from $30.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $51.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increase in wages expense, subcontractor expenses, and recurring services resulting from the inclusion of Redflex and T2 Systems operations with no comparable amounts in the prior year. Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 33.9% to 30.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively which was contributed by the Commercial Services segment's improved operating leverage from its corresponding revenue improvement. The following table presents operating expenses by segment:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Total operating expenses	$	51,063	$	30,492		30.0	%		33.9	%	$	20,571		67.5	%

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $41.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $28.4 million for the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to increased wages and information technology expenses due to the inclusion of Redflex and T2 Systems operations in the three months ended March 31, 2022 with no comparable amounts in the prior year. In addition, we had increases of $2.2 million for professional services and $1.5 million related to stock-based compensation expense compared to the prior year, which were partially offset by a decrease in transaction costs of $3.9 million compared to 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 31.7% to 24.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The following table presents selling, general and administrative expenses by segment:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Depreciation, Amortization and (Gain) Loss on Disposal of Assets, Net. Depreciation, amortization and (gain) loss on disposal of assets, net, increased by $7.6 million to $35.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $28.3 million for the same period in 2021. This was mainly due to increased amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the Redflex and T2 Systems acquisitions included in the three months ended March 31, 2022 with no comparable amounts in the prior year, partially offset by a decrease due to certain trademark intangibles being fully amortized for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net increased by $5.1 million from $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $14.3 million for the same period in 2022. This increase is primarily attributable to $1.2 billion in average outstanding debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $875 million in average outstanding debt for the same period in 2021. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Change in Fair Value of Private Placement Warrants. We recorded losses of $3.7 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the changes in fair value of our Private Placement Warrants which are accounted for as liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value is the result of re-measurement of the liability at the end of each reporting period.

Other Income, Net. We pay a high volume of tolls on behalf of our customers with purchasing cards which generate rebates based on volume, payment terms and rebate frequency. Other income, net decreased slightly and was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2021.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit). Income tax provision was $6.8 million with an effective tax rate of 40.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to an income tax benefit of $(2.9) million with an effective tax benefit rate of 24.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The primary driver for the effective tax rate variance was the increase in pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Net Income (Loss). We had net income of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to a net loss of $(8.9) million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $19.0 million increase in net income was primarily due to increases in both service revenue and product sales, and the other statement of operations activity discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our Revolver (defined below).

We have incurred significant long-term debt as a result of acquisitions completed in the prior years.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by operating activities and our availability to borrow under our Revolver (as defined below) will be sufficient to meet operating cash requirements and service debt obligations for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities depends on our future performance, which is subject to general economic, political, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. In addition, our future capital expenditures and other cash requirements could be higher than currently expected due to various factors, including any expansion of our business or strategic acquisitions. Should we pursue strategic acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital, which may be in the form of additional long-term debt, borrowings on our Revolver, or equity financings, all of which may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all.

We have the ability to borrow under our Revolver to meet obligations as they come due. As of March 31, 2022, we had $68.8 million available for borrowing, net of letters of credit, under our Revolver.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The following table sets forth certain captions indicated on our statements of cash flows for the respective periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2022			2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	31,247		$	9,013
Net cash used in investing activities		(11,865	)		(3,648	)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(28,652	)		123,915

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $22.2 million, from $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $31.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net income year over year increased by $19.0 million, from $8.9 million loss in 2021 to $10.0 million income in 2022. Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to cash provided by operating activities were an aggregate decrease of $12.7 million in 2022 compared to 2021. This was primarily due to a change in deferred income taxes and the $5.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt in 2021 with no comparable amount in the 2022 period. These decreases were offset mainly by increased depreciation and amortization resulting from our recent acquisitions, combined with increases in the fair value of the private placement warrants liability, credit loss expense and stock-based compensation expenses. We had an aggregate increase of $16 million in 2022 compared to 2021 for the changes in operating assets and liabilities due to an increase in other liabilities and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets partially offset by increased inventory.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $11.9 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was mainly related to purchases of installation and service parts and property and equipment. The $7.8 million increase in capital purchases year over year is primarily attributable to our recent acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash (used in) provided by financing activities was $(28.7) million and $123.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cash used in 2022 was mainly due to the repayment of the $25.0 million borrowing on the Revolver in January 2022 and the quarterly principal payment on the 2021 Term Loan at the end of the quarter. We had aggregate borrowings of $996.8 million during the first quarter of 2021 consisting of the 2021 Term Loan and Senior Notes (defined below) and we concurrently repaid $865.6 million outstanding debt on the 2018 Term Loan (defined below). The aggregate borrowings net of the repayments, which totaled $131.2 million, were held as cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2021 and used in part to fund the close of the Redflex acquisition. We also had payments related to debt issuance costs and debt extinguishment costs during the 2021 period.

Long-term Debt

2021 Term Loan and Senior Notes

In March 2021, VM Consolidated, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement No.1 to the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “2021 Term Loan”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 Term Loan has an aggregate borrowing of $650 million, maturing on March 26, 2028, and an accordion feature providing for an additional $250 million of term loans, subject to satisfaction of certain requirements. In connection with the 2021 Term Loan, we had an offering discount cost of $3.3 million and $0.7 million of deferred financing costs, both of which were capitalized and are amortized over the remaining life of the 2021 Term Loan.

In addition, in March 2021, VM Consolidated, Inc. issued an aggregate principal amount of $350 million in Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Senior Notes”), due on April 15, 2029. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, we incurred $5.7 million in lender and third-party costs, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.

On December 7, 2021, VM Consolidated Inc., entered into an agreement to exercise the accordion feature under the 2021 Term Loan, borrowing $250 million in incremental term loans (“Incremental Term Loan”). The proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan were used, along with cash on hand, to fund the acquisition of T2 Systems, including repaying in full all outstanding debt for T2 Systems. In connection with the Incremental Term Loan, we had an offering discount cost of $1.3 million and $3.8 million of deferred financing costs, both of which were capitalized and are amortized over the remaining life of the 2021 Term Loan. The Incremental Term Loan accrued interest from the date of borrowing until December 31, 2021, at which time, it was combined with the 2021 Term Loan to be a single tranche of term loan borrowings. The total principal outstanding under the 2021 Term Loan, which includes the Incremental Term Loan, was $892.9 million at March 31, 2022.

The 2021 Term Loan is repayable at 1.0% per annum of the amount initially borrowed, paid in quarterly installments. It bears interest based, at our option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum. As of March 31, 2022, the interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan was 3.6%.

Interest on the Senior Notes is fixed at 5.50% per annum and is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. On or after April 15, 2024, we may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below in percentages by year, plus accrued and unpaid interest:


Year		Percentage
2024		102.750%
2025		101.375%
2026 and thereafter		100.000%

In addition, we may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes before April 15, 2024, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings.

We evaluated the March 2021 refinancing transactions on a lender-by-lender basis and accounted for the portion of the transaction that did not meet the accounting criteria for debt extinguishment as a debt modification. Accordingly, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.3 million on the 2018 Term Loan during the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisting of a $4.0 million write-off of pre-existing deferred financing costs and discounts and $1.3 million of lender and third-party costs associated with the issuance of the 2021 Term Loan.

PPP Loan

During fiscal year 2020, Redflex received a loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) as part of the Paycheck Protection Program to offset certain employment and other allowable costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. At March 31, 2022, the loan amount outstanding was $2.9 million and was included in the current portion of long-term debt. In early 2021, Redflex applied for forgiveness of this loan and, as of March 31, 2022, was still awaiting approval from the SBA.

The Revolver

We have a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver”) with a commitment of up to $75 million available for loans and letters of credit. The Revolver matures on December 20, 2026. Borrowing eligibility under the Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation based on (i) certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less (ii) certain reserve items, including outstanding letters of credit and other reserves. The Revolver bears interest on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin. The margin percentage applied to (1) LIBOR is either 1.25%, 1.50%, or 1.75%, or (2) the base rate is either 0.25%, 0.50%, or 0.75%, depending on our average availability to borrow under the commitment. At December 31, 2021, we had $25.0 million in outstanding borrowings on the Revolver, which was repaid in full in January 2022. At March 31, 2022, the availability to borrow was $68.8 million, net of $6.2 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Interest on the unused portion of the Revolver is payable quarterly at 0.375% and we are also required to pay participation and fronting fees at 1.38% on $6.2 million of outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2022.

All borrowings and other extensions of credits under the 2021 Term Loan, Senior Notes and the Revolver are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictive covenants including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral to secure our indebtedness under the 2021 Term Loan.

On March 31, 2022, we notified our lenders that we were unable to file the Annual Report on Form 10-K within 90 days following the year ended December 31, 2021, as is required under the 2021 Term Loan, Senior Notes, and the Revolver. While we were compliant with all debt covenants at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, the late filing created a technical default when the filing requirement was not met; however, this did not result in an Event of Default under the 2021 Term Loan, Senior Notes, and the Revolver as the Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed within the 30-day cure period allowed by these agreements for late filing of annual financial statements.

Interest Expense

We recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, of $14.3 million and $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet financing arrangements as of March 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions include those related to the fair values assigned to net assets acquired (including identifiable intangibles) in business combinations, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, allowance for credit losses, fair value of the private placement warrant liabilities, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, impairment assessments of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, asset retirement obligations, contingent consideration and the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Refer to our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate market risk due to the variable interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan described in Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Interest rate risk represents our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates associated with the variable rate debt represented by the 2021 Term Loan, which has an outstanding balance of $892.9 million at March 31, 2022. The 2021 Term Loan bears interest based, at our option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum. At March 31, 2022, the interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan was 3.6%. Based on the March 31, 2022 balance outstanding, each 1% movement in interest rates will result in an approximately $8.9 million change in annual interest expense.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with assistance from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022 and, based on their evaluation, have concluded the controls and procedures were ineffective as the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 were not yet remediated during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.

Remediation

As previously described in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, management commenced implementation of remediation plans which are ongoing to address the material weaknesses mentioned above. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of these material weaknesses will be completed prior to the end of our 2022 fiscal

year. The following steps of the remediation plan are currently in process, and management may determine to enhance existing controls and/or implement additional controls as the implementation progresses:

•

Design and implement controls to properly recognize revenue within our recent acquisitions.

•

Evaluate the sufficiency, experience, and training of our internal personnel and hire additional personnel.

•

Design and implement controls to validate revenue and reporting data used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On November 2, 2020, PlusPass, Inc. (“PlusPass”) commenced an action in the United States District Court, Central District of California, against Verra Mobility Corporation (“Verra Mobility”), The Gores Group LLC, Platinum Equity LLC, and ATS Processing Services, Inc., alleging civil violations of federal antitrust statutes: Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 (the “Clayton Act”), and Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. On November 20, 2020, PlusPass filed a First Amended Complaint. On February 9, 2021, the defendants filed motions to dismiss, and PlusPass subsequently abandoned various theories and claims and dismissed The Gores Group LLC, Platinum Equity LLC, and ATS Processing Services, Inc. On April 27, 2021, PlusPass filed a Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”), alleging that Verra Mobility violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act through the merger of Highway Toll Administration, LLC (“HTA”) and American Traffic Solutions, Inc. (“ATS”) in 2018, and that Verra Mobility violated Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 by using exclusive agreements in restraint of trade and other allegedly anticompetitive means to acquire and maintain monopoly power in the market for the administration of electronic toll payment collection for rental cars. PlusPass seeks injunctive relief, divestiture by Verra Mobility of HTA, damages in an amount to be determined, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On May 28, 2021, Verra Mobility filed a motion to dismiss the SAC in its entirety, which was denied in August 2021. Discovery is underway. Verra Mobility believes that all of PlusPass' claims are without merit and will defend itself vigorously in this litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Business

Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes a discussion of our risk factors. Other than the risk factor discussed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future SEC filings.

We cannot guarantee that our stock repurchase program will be consummated, fully or at all, or that it will enhance long-term shareholder value. Stock repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our stock and could diminish our cash reserves.

In May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $125 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock over the next twelve months. The timing, price, and quantity of purchases under the program will be at the discretion of our management and will depend upon a variety of factors including share price, general and business market conditions, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, corporate and regulatory requirements, and alternative uses of capital. The program may be amended, suspended or discontinued by our Board of Directors at any time. Although our Board of Directors has authorized this stock repurchase program, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares, if any, that will be repurchased by us, and we may discontinue purchases at any time if management determines additional purchases are not warranted. We cannot guarantee that the program will be consummated, fully or at all, or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The program could affect the trading price of our common stock and increase volatility, and any announcement of a termination of this program may result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock. In addition, this program could diminish our cash reserves.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

None.

Exhibit 10.1

SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

This Separation and Release Agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between Patricia Chiodo (“Executive”) and Verra Mobility Corporation. (“Verra Mobility” or the “Company”) (and, together with Executive, the “Parties”) to set forth the Parties’ agreement concerning the terms and conditions that will govern the termination of the employment relationship between Executive and the Company.

WHEREAS, Executive serves as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer pursuant to that certain Amended and Restatement Executive Employment Agreement Effective as of March 25, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Executive has notified the Company of her intent to resign from her position as Chief Financial Officer and retire from the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to enter into certain mutual agreements regarding the terms under which Executive’s separation from the Company will occur.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Transition Period and Separation Date. Executive’s last day of work as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer shall be the later of April 11, 2022 and the day after the Company files its annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2021 (the “Transition Date”). The Company (or a Company subsidiary) will continue to employ Executive for up to an additional ninety (90) days following the Transition Date (such date to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion), at which point Executive’s employment with the Company (or a Company subsidiary) will terminate (the “Separation Date”). From the Transition Date until the Separation Date (the “Transition Period”), and as a condition to be eligible for the severance benefit described in Section 3 below, Executive will be required to assist the Company with the transition of responsibilities to others and to give her full attention to her duties, as directed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or the Executive’s successor in the role of Chief Financial Officer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Executive’s Employment Agreement, Executive’s failure to satisfactorily perform her duties during the Transition Period shall constitute Cause under her Employment Agreement for which no notice period is required and shall result in Executive’s immediate termination and forfeiture of the severance benefit described in Section 3 of this Agreement. Executive further agrees that, in addition to resigning as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer as of the Transition Date, she will resign from all other Company director, officer and other official positions on the date on which replacements are appointed by the Company, which shall be no later than the Separation Date. Executive agrees to execute any documents reasonably required by the Company, and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates, to affect such resignations. After the Separation Date, Executive will not represent herself as being an employee, officer, attorney, agent, or representative of the Company for any purpose. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Separation Date will be the employment termination date for the Executive for all purposes, meaning that Executive is not entitled to any further compensation, monies, or other benefits from the Company, including coverage under any benefit plans or programs sponsored by the Company, as of the Separation Date.

2. Pay, Expenses, and Benefits.

Salary and Expenses. The Company will pay Executive at her current salary through the Separation Date in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices. Executive will be reimbursed for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred prior to the Separation Date pursuant to Company policy. Reimbursement requests must be submitted before the Separation Date.

Benefit Plans and Programs. As of the Separation Date, Executive will cease to earn, accrue, or be eligible for benefits, coverage, or perquisites under the benefit plans and programs provided to employees of the Company, with the sole exception of the specific benefits promised in Section 3. After the Separation Date, Executive shall be eligible for continuation coverage under the Company’s health plan pursuant to COBRA. Any vested benefits to which Executive may be entitled under any Company-sponsored 401(k) plan will be provided in accordance with and subject to the terms of that plan, including any terms regarding the timing, form, and manner of contributions and payment. Except as specifically provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, any grant of equity units to Executive shall be governed by the terms of the Verra Mobility Corporation 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) and related agreements.

Payment of Accrued and Unused Paid Time Off Balance. Executive will be entitled to receive, and the Company will promptly pay to Executive, all accrued but unused paid time off, but not unused paid sick leave, following the Separation Date consistent with the Company’s policies and Arizona law.

3. Severance Benefits.

The Company previously awarded Executive a restricted stock unit award for 581,552 shares of the Company’s common stock on October 23, 2018 (the “2018 RSU Award”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Plan and related Equity Plan documents. The Parties acknowledge that 145,388 restricted stock units remain unvested under the 2018 RSU Award (the “Unvested RSUs”), and because they are scheduled to vest on October 23, 2022, would remain unvested as of the Separation Date and be subject to forfeiture under the terms of the Equity Plan. As consideration for (i) Executive’s obligations set forth in this Agreement and (ii) Executive’s valid execution and non-revocation of the Supplemental Separation and Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Supplemental Release”) on or after the Separation Date, and provided Executive is not terminated for cause, the Company agrees to accelerate the vesting of the Unvested RSUs to occur on the Supplemental Release Effective Date, as defined in the Supplemental Release (the “RSU Vesting Acceleration”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the RSU Vesting Acceleration is made expressly subject to and contingent upon Executive remaining in full compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement (defined in Section 6(a)) and the Supplemental Release. Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) other than the RSU Vesting Acceleration, Executive has no rights to otherwise vest in any securities of the Company following the Separation Date, (ii) all other unvested equity awards held by Executive will terminate or be forfeited on the Separation Date and (iii) all vested equity as of the Separation Date, including those covered by the RSU Vesting Acceleration, shall be governed by the terms of the Equity Plan and related Equity Plan documents. This Agreement and the terms related to the RSU Vesting Acceleration constitute a “superseding agreement” to the Verra Mobility Corporation Restricted Stock Units Agreement and the Verra Mobility Corporation Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units provided to Executive with a grant date of October 23, 2018.

Executive agrees that her notice of resignation and retirement was “without Good Reason” as such term is referenced and/or defined in Sections 3.4 and 3.7(b) of her Employment Agreement, pursuant to which she is not entitled to the severance benefits set forth in the Employment Agreement. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that she has no right to receive the RSU Vesting Acceleration unless she validly executes this Agreement and the Supplemental Release and fully complies with the respective terms of this Agreement, the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement and the Supplemental Release, and is not terminated for cause. The Parties further agree that the RSU Vesting Acceleration constitutes adequate and sufficient consideration to support the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement and the Supplemental Release. Executive is not entitled to any additional payment or benefit from any Released Party (as defined below) that is not expressly promised or described in this Agreement.

4. Release of Claims.

a) Release and Released Parties. In exchange for the consideration described in Section 3, and subject only to the exclusions of Section 4(b) below, Executive hereby releases the Company, its parents, shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, related companies or entities, its and their employee benefit plans and administrators, and any and all of its and their respective current and former officers, directors, partners, insurers, agents, representatives, attorneys, accountants, actuaries, trustees, fiduciaries, and employees (the “Released

Parties”) from any and all claims, demands or causes of action which Executive or Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators, agents, attorneys, representatives or assigns (all collectively included in the term “Executive” for purposes of this Section 4), has, had or may have against any of the Released Parties, based on any events or circumstances arising or occurring on or before the date of Executive’s execution of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claims relating to Executive’s employment or termination of employment, and any rights of continued employment, reinstatement or reemployment with any of the Released Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, and subject only to the exclusions in Section 4(b) of this Agreement, Executive expressly agrees, understands, and acknowledges that this is a general release that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waives, surrenders, and extinguishes any and all claims that Executive has or may have against any of the Released Parties, whether known, unknown, foreseen, or unforeseen, including, but not limited to, the following:

(i)

any claim(s) under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, the Arizona Minimum Wage Act; Arizona Equal Pay Act, the Arizona Employment Protection Act, the Arizona Civil Rights Act, the Arizona Occupational Health and Safety Act; Arizona Right to Work Act, the Arizona Drug Testing of Employees Act, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, or the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act;

(ii)

any claim(s) under any other applicable federal, state, or local or foreign law, statute, regulation, or ordinance regarding discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or any other subject matter;

(iii)

any claim(s) for unpaid or withheld wages, severance, benefits, bonuses, commissions, and other compensation of any kind that Executive may have against the Company;

(iv)

any claim(s) for breach of contract, wrongful discharge, unjust dismissal, defamation, slander, libel, fraud, misrepresentation, negligence, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress; and

(v)

any other claim for damages or other relief arising under the common law or any theory of law or equity, including any claim for costs or attorneys’ fees.

Claims Not Released. The claims released in Section 4(a) of this Agreement do not include any claim or cause of action based on any of the following: (i) the right to vested benefits under any retirement plan; (ii) the right to continued benefits as required by COBRA; (iii) any right to receive workers’ compensation benefits or unemployment insurance as required by applicable law; (iv) the right to challenge the validity or enforceability of this Agreement under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; (v) any claim to enforce the terms of this Agreement; or (vi) any claim which cannot be waived as a matter of law. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein waives or releases any claim that may arise after the Effective Date (as defined below).

Permitted Conduct. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits Executive from filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or any other government agency, nor does anything in this Agreement prohibit Executive from participating, cooperating, or testifying in any investigation or proceeding conducted by or pending before the EEOC or any other any government agency. However, even though Executive can provide testimony or information or assistance in an investigation or in proceedings described in this Section 4(c), Executive’s participation therein will not entitle Executive to additional compensation from the Company or any of the Released Parties beyond that described in Section 3 of this Agreement. In fact, if Executive is awarded any monetary relief in connection with any lawsuit, legal proceeding, charge or complaint, that relief will be reduced by any amounts paid or payable by the Company under this Agreement.

5. Pay and Leave Confirmation. Executive is not aware of any occasion on which the Company or any of the Released Parties failed to pay Executive for hours worked for or on behalf of the Company at the appropriate

rate of pay. Executive is not aware of any occasion when she was denied any leave that she was entitled to take under the FMLA or any other law or regulation.

6. Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, and Company Property.

Confidential Information. Executive understands and agrees that she remains bound by the terms of the Proprietary Rights and Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement that she executed in conjunction with her employment dated September 26, 2016 (the “Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement”), as supplemented by Sections 5 and 6 of her Employment Agreement. Executive specifically acknowledges and reaffirms her ongoing obligations (a) not to use or disclose for her own benefit, or that of another employer or any party other than the Company, any confidential or proprietary information of the Company to which she had access or created during the period of her employment with the Company, (b) to return to the Company any and all Company property and all materials containing Company confidential or proprietary information in her possession, and (c) to comply with her post-employment restrictions regarding the Company’s customers, competitors and employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may disclose Confidential Information to the extent she is compelled to do so by lawful service of process, subpoena, court order, or as she is otherwise compelled to do by law or the rules or regulations of any regulatory body or governmental agency or instrumentality to which she is subject, including full and complete disclosure in response thereto, in which event she agrees (unless prohibited by law) to provide the Company with a copy of the documents seeking disclosure of such information promptly upon receipt of such documents and prior to their disclosure of any such information, so that the Company may, upon notice to Executive, take such action as the Company deems appropriate in relation to such subpoena or request, and Executive (unless otherwise compelled to do so by lawful service of process, subpoena, court order, or by law or the rules or regulations of any regulatory body or governmental agency or instrumentality) may not disclose any such information until the Company has had the opportunity to take such action. Executive further understands and acknowledges that the Company’s Insider Trading Policy will continue to apply to Executive and her family members until after the second trading day that any material nonpublic information in her possession has become public or is no longer material.

Company Property. Executive will promptly return to the Company all property belonging to it, including, but not limited to, laptops, monitors, desktop computers, mobile phones, hotspots and other mobile Wi-Fi devices, headsets, keyboards, mice, power cords and adaptors, identification badges, credit cards, supplies, documents, files, computer disks or drives, and the like (collectively, the “Company Property”). Executive further agrees to remove from any personal computer and other data devices all data and files containing Company information.

7. Cooperation in Legal Proceedings and Investigations. Executive affirms that, pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Employment Agreement, she will make herself reasonably available to the Company to provide cooperation and assistance with regards to information requests, investigations, and other reasonable assistance with regards to any litigation or proceeding in which the Company (or a subsidiary) is or becomes involved. Executive acknowledges and agrees that should she fail to provide reasonable cooperation and assistance, the Company has the right to claw back the Accelerated Vesting.

8. Non-Disparagement. Executive affirms her obligations to comply with Section 9 (Non-Disparagement) of her Employment Agreement.

9. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. Executive affirms her obligations to comply with any post-employment obligations contained in the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement, and Sections 7 (Non-Competition) and 8 (Non-Solicitation) of her Employment Agreement.

10. Liquidated Damages for Breach of Certain Obligations. As Executive previously acknowledged when she signed the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement and her Employment Agreement, a breach of her obligations under the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement or Sections 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 of her Employment Agreement could irreparably damage the Company. Consequently, and because the damage that a breach of those obligations would inflict on the Company is not an amount that the Parties can clearly ascertain at this time, but would likely be even greater than the RSU Vesting Acceleration that Executive will receive under this Agreement, Executive agrees that if she breaches any of her obligations set forth above in this Section 10, she will forfeit the RSU Vesting Acceleration received under this Agreement and, if the Company has already issued stock as a result of the RSU

Vesting Acceleration, reimburse the Company the fair market value of the RSU Vesting Acceleration, which will be calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued as a result of the RSU Vesting Acceleration by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the stock issuance. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10 ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE AND SHALL BE IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE REMEDY THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH BY EMPLOYEE.

11. Non-Admission. This Agreement does not constitute and shall not be construed as an admission by the Company or any of the Released Parties that any of them has violated any law, interfered with any rights, breached any obligation or otherwise engaged in any improper or illegal conduct with respect to Executive, and the Company expressly denies that it has engaged in any such conduct.

12.

Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, and such determination shall become final, such provision or portion shall be deemed to be severed or limited, but only to the extent required to render the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement enforceable. This Agreement as thus amended shall be enforced so as to give effect to the intention of the Parties insofar as that is possible. In addition, the Parties hereby expressly empower a court of competent jurisdiction to modify any term or provision of this Agreement to the extent necessary to comply with existing law and to enforce this Agreement as modified.

13.

Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed, enforced and interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to its choice-of-law principles.

14.

Deductions and Withholding. The Company may deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to the Executive hereunder all federal, state, city or other taxes that the Company may reasonably determine are required to be deducted or withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation (it being understood that Executive shall be responsible for payment of all taxes in respect of the payments and benefits provided herein).

15.

Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

16.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior negotiations and agreements. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, as applicable, Executive’s (on the one hand) and the Company’s and the Released Parties’ (on the other hand) respective successors, assigns, heirs, estates, and representatives. This Agreement shall not be amended or modified except in a writing signed by Executive and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

17.

Tax Code Section 409A Compliance. The intent of the Parties is that any payments and benefits under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A of the Code comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any related regulations and other guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in compliance therewith. All expense reimbursements paid pursuant to this Agreement that are taxable income to Executive shall in no event be paid later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which Executive incurs such expense. For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to this Agreement, each separately identified amount to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code, any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event shall the Company be liable to Executive for any adverse tax consequences arising under Section 409A.

18.

Acceptance. Executive may accept this Agreement by delivering a signed original of this Agreement to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, David Roberts, on or before April 11, 2022. Executive’s signing of this Agreement will be final and binding upon Executive.

19.

Effective Date. This Agreement will become effective and enforceable on the date both Parties sign the Agreement (the “Effective Date”), although Executive’s right to receive the RSU Vesting Acceleration shall not accrue until the Supplemental Release Effective Date.

20.

Executive’s Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that she (a) has carefully read and understands the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) has had adequate opportunity to consult with counsel of her choosing concerning the consequences of signing this Agreement and the release and waiver contained in Section 4; (c) is signing this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily of her own free will, without any duress, coercion or undue influence by the Company, its representatives, or other persons; and (d) has not relied on any promise, statement, or representation by anyone associated with the Company that is not contained in this Agreement in deciding to sign this Agreement. Executive specifically represents that she has not assigned or given to any other person or party the right to pursue any legal claim that falls within the scope of Section 4 of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

SUPPLEMENTAL SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

This Supplemental Separation and Release Agreement (this “Supplemental Release”) is made by and between Patricia Chiodo (“Executive”) and Verra Mobility Corporation (the “Company” and, together with Executive, the “Parties”), as contemplated by that certain Separation and Release Agreement, by and between the Parties, dated as of April __, 2022 (the “Separation Agreement”). Capitalized terms used by not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Separation Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Parties agreed that Executive would continue to be employed by the Company after the Transition Date in order to assist the Company with the transition of her responsibilities during the Transition Period through the Separation Date; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Separation Agreement and in consideration for the RSU Vesting Acceleration, Executive desires to execute this Supplemental Release following the Transition Period.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

Termination. Executive’s last day of employment with the Company was the Separation Date. Executive’s accrual of, and eligibility for vacation, holiday pay, and any other employee privileges ceased on the Separation Date. Pursuant to Section 3 of the Separation Agreement, Executive acknowledges that any unvested equity awards, other than those covered by the RSU Vesting Acceleration, were forfeited as of the Separation Date.

General Release of Claims. In exchange of the consideration described above, including the RSU Vesting Acceleration, Executive unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely releases and discharges the Company, and any parent and subsidiary corporations, divisions and affiliated corporations, partnerships or other affiliated entities of the Company, past and present, as well as the Company’s employees, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Released Parties”), from all claims related in any way to the transactions or occurrences between them to date, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including, but not limited to, Executive’s employment with the Company, the termination of Executive’s employment, and all other losses, liabilities, claims, charges, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising directly or indirectly out of or in any way connected with Executive’s employment with the Company. This release is intended to have the broadest possible application and includes, but is not limited to, any tort, contract, wrongful discharge, common law, constitutional or other statutory claims, including, but not limited to alleged violations of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”); the Fair Labor Standards Act; the Fair Credit Reporting Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act; the Family Medical Leave Act; the Equal Pay Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; the National Labor Relations Act; the Arizona Minimum Wage Act; Arizona Equal Pay Act, the Arizona Employment Protection Act, the Arizona Civil Rights Act, the Arizona Occupational Health and Safety Act; Arizona Right to Work Act, the Arizona Drug Testing of Employees Act, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, and all other laws against discrimination, governing wage and hour, or applicable to employment that may be the subject of a release under applicable law. Executive expressly waives her right to recovery of any type, including damages or reinstatement, in any court action, whether state or federal, and whether brought by Executive or on her behalf, related in any way to the matters released herein. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Executive from reporting conduct to, providing truthful information to or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by any federal or state government agency or self-regulatory organization.

Executive represents that, as of the date of this Supplemental Release, she has not filed any lawsuits, charges, complaints, petitions, claims or other accusatory pleadings against the Company or any of the Released Parties, in any

court or with any governmental agency. Executive agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Executive will not prosecute, nor allow to be prosecuted on Executive’s behalf, in any administrative agency, whether state or federal, or in any court, whether state or federal, any claim or demand of any type related to the matters released in the Separation Agreement or this Supplemental Release.

Nothing in this Supplemental Release shall be construed to waive any claims that cannot be waived as a matter of law. In addition, this Supplemental Release does not prevent Executive from filing an administrative charge against the Company that may not be released as a matter of law. Nothing in this Supplemental Release shall be construed to prohibit Executive from reporting conduct to, providing truthful information to or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by any federal or state government agency or self-regulatory organization. This Supplemental Release does not waive any rights or claims that may arise after the date that Executive executed this Supplemental Release.

Job-Related Illness or Injury. Executive certifies that she has not experienced a job-related illness or injury for which she has not already filed a claim.

Acknowledgment. Executive stipulates and agrees that she has been advised in writing that, by virtue of her age, she may have rights under the ADEA, which rights will be extinguished by her execution of this Agreement.

Executive acknowledges that she has been advised to seek an attorney regarding the effect of this Agreement prior to signing it.

Executive stipulates and agrees that this Supplemental Release provides consideration in addition to anything of value to which she may be entitled independent of this Supplemental Release.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to release claims that arise under the ADEA after the date that Executive executes this Supplemental Release.

Executive acknowledges that she has twenty-one (21) days from the date this offer is received to consider this Supplemental Release before signing it. Executive may choose to execute this Supplemental Release before the expiration of this period.

Executive understands that she has seven (7) days after accepting this offer to revoke her acceptance (the “Revocation Period”). Revocation must be in writing and either personally delivered or overnight mailed to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to arrive on the eighth (8th) day after Executive executed this Supplemental Release. Neither Executive’s acceptance nor the terms of this Supplemental Release will be effective until the Revocation Period has expired.

Acceptance. Executive may accept this Supplemental Release by delivering a signed original of this Supplemental Release to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer within twenty-one (21) calendar days from Executive’s receipt of this Supplemental Release. Executive may sign this Supplemental Release before the 21-day period expires, provided, however, that Executive’s execution of this Supplemental Release will be final and binding upon Executive, unless Executive rescinds the Supplemental Release within the Revocation Period referenced in Section 4 above.

Effective Date. This Supplemental Release will not become effective or enforceable until the eighth (8th) calendar day after Executive signs it (the “Supplemental Release Effective Date”). If (i) this Supplemental Release fails to become effective and irrevocable on or prior to the 60th day following the Separation Date or (ii)(a) Executive revokes this Supplemental Release within the seven (7) day Revocation Period or (b) Executive fails to return an executed original within the required twenty-one (21) day timeframe referenced above, the Parties shall have no obligations under this Supplemental Release, and this Supplemental Release shall be considered null and void.

Severability. In the event any provision of this Supplemental Release shall be found unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the Company shall receive the benefits contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted by law. If a deemed modification is not satisfactory to make it enforceable, then that unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

No Admissions. By entering into this Supplemental Release, the Company makes no admission that any of the Released Parties have engaged in any unlawful conduct. The Parties understand and acknowledge that this Supplemental Release is not an admission of liability and shall not be used or construed as such in any legal or administrative proceeding.

Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation and performance of this Supplemental Release shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the United States of America and the State of Arizona.
