(a)	i3 Verticals, Inc. was formed on January 17, 2018, and will have no material assets or results of operations until the completion of this offering and therefore its historical financial position is not shown in a separate column in this unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(b)

In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, we will convert all existing Class A units, common units (including common units issued upon the exercise of existing warrants held by the existing Warrant Holders) and Class P units (profits interests) of ownership interest in i3 Verticals, LLC into either (i) Class A voting common units of i3 Verticals, LLC (such holders of Class A voting common units, the Continuing Equity Owners) or (ii) Class B non-voting common units of i3 Verticals, LLC (such holders of Class B non-voting common units, the Former Equity Owners) (collectively, the Initial Recapitalization).

The Class A voting common units held by the Continuing Equity Holders will be converted into newly issued common units in i3 Verticals, LLC together with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock of i3 Verticals, Inc. Holders of our Class B common stock along with the holders of our Class A common stock will have certain voting rights as described under “Description of Capital Stock,” but holders of our Class B common stock will not be entitled to receive any distributions from or participate in any dividends declared by our Board of Directors.

(3)	The Class B common units held by Former Equity Owners will be converted into             shares of Class A common stock of i3 Verticals, Inc.

(d)

Upon completion of the Reorganization Transactions, we will become the sole managing member of i3 Verticals, LLC. As a result, we will consolidate the financial results of i3 Verticals, LLC and will report a non-controlling interest related to the Class B common stock held by the Continuing Equity Owners on our consolidated balance sheet. The computation of the non-controlling interest following the consummation of this offering is as follows:

---

(e)

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions but before estimated offering expenses of $         million, will be approximately $         million. This amount has been determined based on the assumption that the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares in our Class A common stock is not exercised. A reconciliation on the gross proceeds from this offering to the net cash proceeds is set forth below:

(f)	We will issue              shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to a voluntary private conversion of Junior Subordinated Notes by certain related and unrelated creditors of i3 Verticals, LLC. In this conversion, certain eligible holders of Junior Subordinated Notes have elected to convert $           in aggregate indebtedness into Class A common stock.

(g)	i3 Verticals, LLC intends to use the $           million in net proceeds it receives from the sale of common units to i3 Verticals, Inc. as follows:

•	to repay the Mezzanine Notes in full in the amount of $           ;

•	to repay the Junior Subordinated Notes in full in the amount of $           ; and

---

•	to repay approximately $            millio n of the outstanding borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, including $        million outstanding under our term loan and $            million outstanding under our revolving loan.

(h)

We expect to obtain an increase in the tax basis of our share of the assets of i3 Verticals, LLC when common units are redeemed or exchanged by the Continuing Equity Owners. This increase in tax basis may have the effect of reducing the amounts that we would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. The increase in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. In connection with the consummation of this offering, we will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement with i3 Verticals, LLC and each of the Continuing Equity Owners that will require us to pay to the Continuing Equity Owners 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that we actually realize, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis of the assets of i3 Verticals, LLC resulting from the purchase of common units in exchange for Class A common stock in connection with the consummation of this offering and any future redemptions or exchanges of common units or any prior sales of interests in i3 Verticals, LLC and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

(i)	The reconciliation of i3 Verticals, LLC members’ deficit to i3 Verticals, Inc. accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2018 is as follows ($ in thousands):

(a)	i3 Verticals, Inc. was formed on January 17, 2018 and will have no results of operations until the completion of this offering. Therefore, its historical results of operations are not shown in a separate column in this unaudited pro forma interim condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(b)	SDCR, Inc.’s financial statements presented in the accompanying unaudited pro forma interim condensed consolidated statement of operations reflect the historical results of operations for the one month ended October 31, 2017. The operating results of SDCR, Inc. since the date of acquisition have been included in our historical results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018.

(c)	In accordance with the rules of Article 11 of Regulation S-X, the following adjustments were made for the acquisition of SDCR, Inc. (amounts in thousands):

(1)

Adjusted executive compensation is based on arrangements negotiated in conjunction with the acquisitions. The adjustments account for market-based compensation considerations and the actual historical compensation of specific executives who were offered new employment arrangements in connection with the acquisitions. We adjusted such compensation to reflect amounts they are expected to receive under their respective employment arrangements post-acquisition.

(2)	Increased amortization expense reflects identified intangible assets in the acquisition of SDCR, Inc. The weighted-average amortization period for all intangibles acquired is eleven years.

(3)	Direct, incremental transaction costs, which are reflected in our interim condensed consolidated results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018, are removed.

(4)	Interest has been adjusted to reflect the increased borrowings to fund the acquisition using a 6.25% interest rate, which represents our incremental borrowing rate as of October 31, 2017. If the interest rate were increased or decreased by 0.125%, it would result in a $6,000 change in net interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2018.

(5)	Income tax expense has been adjusted to reflect the increased pre-tax income for SDCR, Inc., a C corporation subject to an estimated federal and state blended tax rate of 39.6%.

(d)

Represents the increase in compensation expense we expect to incur following the completion of this offering. We expect to grant options to purchase approximately            shares of our Class A common stock to certain of our directors, executive officers and other employees in connection with this offering. This amount was calculated assuming the stock options were granted on October 1, 2017 with the stock options having an exercise price equal to $           per share, the assumed initial public offering price based on the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The grant date fair values of the stock options were determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions:

(e)	i3 Verticals, LLC has been, and will continue to be, treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As such, income generated by i3 Verticals, LLC will flow through to its partners, including us,

---

(f)

Upon completion of the Reorganization Transactions, i3 Verticals, Inc. will become the sole managing member of i3 Verticals, LLC. As a result, we will consolidate the financial results of i3 Verticals, LLC and will report a non-controlling interest related to the common units of i3 Verticals, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners on our consolidated statements of income. Following this offering, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock, i3 Verticals, Inc. will own        % of the common units of i3 Verticals, LLC and the Continuing Equity Owners will own the remaining         % of the common units of i3 Verticals, LLC. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest will represent         % of the income before income taxes of i3 Verticals, Inc. These amounts have been determined based on the assumption that the underwriters’ option to purchase         additional shares of Class A common stock is not exercised. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock in full, i3 Verticals Inc. will own        % of the common units of i3 Verticals, LLC, the Continuing Equity Owners will own the remaining         % of the common units of i3 Verticals, LLC and net income attributable to non-controlling interest will represent         % of the income before income taxes of i3 Verticals, Inc.

(g)

As described in “Use of Proceeds,” we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering (assuming that the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock is not exercised) to purchase common units directly from i3 Verticals, LLC at a price per unit equal to the initial public offering price per share of Class A common stock in this offering less the underwriting discounts and commissions. i3 Verticals, LLC intends to use the $        million in net proceeds it receives from the sale of common units to i3 Verticals,

---

(h)

Pro forma basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income available to Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Pro forma diluted net income per share is computed by adjusting the net income available to Class A common stockholders and the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Shares of our Class B common stock are not entitled to receive any distributions or dividends and have no rights to convert into Class A common stock. When a common unit is exchanged for, at our election, cash or Class A common stock by a Continuing Equity Owner who holds shares of our Class B common stock, such Continuing Equity Owner will be required to surrender a share of Class B common stock, which we will cancel for no consideration. Therefore, we did not include shares of our Class B common stock in the computation of pro forma basic or diluted net loss per share. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used to compute pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

(1)	We plan to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering (assuming that the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock is not exercised) to purchase common units directly from i3 Verticals, LLC at a price per unit equal to

---

(2)

In calculating pro forma basic net income per share for the six months ended March 31, 2018, unvested options to purchase approximately           shares of our Class A common stock that we expect to grant to certain of our directors, executive officers and other employees in connection with this offering that would have vested as of September 30, 2017 have not been included because their exercise price is equal to the initial public offering price per share of our Class A common stock in this offering and therefore they have no effect on pro forma diluted net income per share.

(3)

The reallocation of net income (loss) assuming conversion of common units represents the tax effected net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest using the effective income tax rates described in footnote (c) above and assuming all common units of i3 Verticals, LLC were exchanged for Class A common stock at the beginning of the period. The common units of i3 Verticals, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners are potentially dilutive securities, and the computations of pro forma diluted net income (loss) per share assume that all common units of i3 Verticals, LLC were exchanged for shares of Class A common stock at the beginning of the period. This adjustment was made only for purposes of calculating pro forma diluted net income per share and does not necessarily reflect the amount of exchanges that may occur subsequent to this offering.

(4)	Includes           outstanding shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exchange of common units to be held by the Continuing Equity Owners prior to this offering and           shares of unvested common units and options.

(a)	i3 Verticals, Inc. was formed on January 17, 2018 and will have no results of operations until the completion of this offering and therefore its historical results of operations are not shown in a separate column in this unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations.

(b)

We purchased Fairway on August 1, 2017 after its conversion to a Virginia limited liability company. The audited historical financial statements of Fairway Payments, Inc. for the seven months ended July 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, prior to its conversion to a limited liability company, are included within this prospectus. The operating results of Fairway since the date of acquisition have been included in our consolidated results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2017. We have included the audited Fairway Payments, Inc. results of operations for the seven months ended July 31, 2017 in this unaudited pro forma statement of operations. We have also included Fairway Payments, Inc. ’ s historical results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016 in this unaudited pro forma statement of operations. The following shows the calculation of the pro forma results of operations for the ten months ended July 31, 2017 (amounts in thousands).

(c)	SDCR, Inc.’s financial statements presented in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations reflect the historical results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2017 from the audited financial statements. In accordance with Regulation S-X 11-02(c)(3), no adjustments were required to modify the period of SDCR, Inc.’s historical condensed statement of operations.

---

(d)	In accordance with the rules of Regulation S-X Article 11, the following adjustments were made for the significant acquisitions (amounts in thousands):

(1)

Adjusted executive compensation is based on arrangements negotiated in conjunction with the acquisitions. The adjustments account for market-based compensation considerations and the actual historical compensation of specific executives who were offered new employment arrangements in connection with the acquisitions. We adjusted such compensation to reflect amounts they are expected to receive under their respective employment arrangements post-acquisition.

(2)	Increased amortization expense reflects identified intangible assets in the acquisitions. For Fairway, the weighted-average amortization period for all intangibles acquired is fifteen years. For SDCR, Inc., the weighted-average amortization period for all intangibles acquired is eleven years.

(3)	Direct, incremental transaction costs of the respective acquisition, which are reflected in our consolidated results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2017, are removed.

(4)

Interest has been adjusted to reflect the increased borrowings to fund the acquisitions using a 5.73% and a 6.25% interest rate, which represents our incremental borrowing rate as of the date of the Fairway and SDCR, Inc. acquisitions, respectively. If the interest rate were increased or decreased by 0.125%, it would result in a $41,000 and $25,000 change in net interest expense for Fairway and SDCR, Inc., respectively.

(5)	Income tax expense has been adjusted to reflect the increased pre-tax income for SDCR, Inc., a C corporation subject to an estimated federal and state blended tax rate of 39.6%.

(e)

Represents the increase in compensation expense we expect to incur following the completion of this offering. We expect to grant options to purchase approximately            shares of our Class A common stock to certain of our directors, executive officers and other employees in connection with this offering. This amount was calculated assuming the stock options were granted on October 1, 2016 with the stock options having an exercise price equal to $           per share, the assumed initial public offering price based on the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The grant date fair values of the stock options were determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions:

i3 Verticals, LLC has been, and will continue to be, treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As such, income generated by i3 Verticals, LLC will flow through to its partners, including us, and is generally not subject to tax at the i3 Verticals, LLC level. Following the Reorganization Transactions, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income of i3 Verticals, LLC. As a result, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income reflect adjustments to our income tax expense to reflect an effective income tax rate of       % for the year ended September 30, 2017, which was calculated assuming the U.S. federal rates currently in effect and the highest statutory rates apportioned to each applicable state, local and foreign jurisdiction.

(g)

Upon completion of the Reorganization Transactions, i3 Verticals, Inc. will become the sole managing member of i3 Verticals, LLC. As a result, we will consolidate the financial results of i3 Verticals, LLC and will report a non-controlling interest related to the common units of i3 Verticals, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners on our consolidated statements of income. Following this offering, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock, i3 Verticals, Inc. will own        % of the common units of i3 Verticals, LLC and the Continuing Equity Owners will own the remaining         % of the common units of i3 Verticals, LLC. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest will represent         % of the income before income taxes of i3 Verticals, Inc. These amounts have been determined based on the assumption that the underwriters' option to purchase         additional shares of Class A common stock is not exercised. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock in full, i3 Verticals Inc. will own        % of the common units of i3 Verticals, LLC, the Continuing Equity Owners will own the remaining         % of the common units of i3 Verticals, LLC and net income attributable to non-controlling interest will represent         % of the income before income taxes of i3 Verticals, Inc.

(h)	As described in “Use of Proceeds,” we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering (assuming that the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock is not exercised) to purchase common units directly from i3 Verticals, LLC at a price per unit equal to the initial public offering price per

(i)

Pro forma basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income available to Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Pro forma diluted net income per share is computed by adjusting the net income available to Class A common stockholders and the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Shares of our Class B common stock are not entitled to receive any distributions or dividends and have no rights to convert into Class A common stock. When a common unit is exchanged for, at our election, cash or Class A common stock by a Continuing Equity Owner who holds shares of our Class B common stock, such Continuing Equity Owner will be required to surrender a share of Class B common stock, which we will cancel for no consideration. Therefore, we did not include shares of our Class B common stock in the computation of pro forma basic or diluted net loss per share. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used to compute pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

(1)

We plan to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering (assuming that the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock is not exercised) to purchase common units directly from i3 Verticals, LLC at a price per unit equal to the offering price per share of Class A common stock in this offering less the underwriting discounts and commissions and, in turn, i3 Verticals, LLC intends to use the $        million in net proceeds it receives from the sale of common units to i3 Verticals, Inc. to repay our Mezzanine Notes in full, our Junior Subordinated Notes in full and $      million of outstanding borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

(2)	In calculating pro forma basic net income per share for the year ended September 30, 2017, unvested options to purchase approximately           shares of our Class A common stock that we expect to grant to certain of our directors, executive officers and other employees in connection with this offering that would have vested as of September 30, 2017 have not been included because

(3)

The reallocation of net income (loss) assuming conversion of common units represents the tax effected net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest using the effective income tax rates described in footnote (c) above and assuming all common units of i3 Verticals, LLC were exchanged for Class A common stock at the beginning of the period. The common units of i3 Verticals, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners are potentially dilutive securities, and the computations of pro forma diluted net income (loss) per share assume that all common units of i3 Verticals, LLC were exchanged for shares of Class A common stock at the beginning of the period. This adjustment was made only for purposes of calculating pro forma diluted net income per share and does not necessarily reflect the amount of exchanges that may occur subsequent to this offering.

(4)	Includes           outstanding shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exchange of common units to be held by the Continuing Equity Owners prior to this offering and           shares of unvested common units and options.

Net revenue is calculated as revenue less certain network fees and other costs described below. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income before certain non-cash changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, other non-core cash items and the other items described below. Adjusted EBITDA is equal to adjusted net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Net revenue, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA eliminate the effects of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. As a result, we consider net revenue, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA to be important indicators of our operational strength and the performance of our business. Management believes the uses of net revenue, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future. By providing these non-GAAP financial measures, together with a reconciliation to GAAP results, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our business strategies. We believe investors use net revenue, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in our industry. The way we present net revenue, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(a)	Includes costs associated with forming i3 Verticals, Inc. and other expenses directly related to the Reorganization Transactions.

(b)	Non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration reflects the changes in management’s estimates of future cash consideration to be paid in connection with prior acquisitions from the amount estimated as of the later of the most recent balance sheet date forming the beginning of the income statement period or the original estimates made at the closing of the applicable acquisition.

(c)	Non-cash change in warrant liability reflects the fair value change in certain warrants for our common units associated with our Mezzanine Notes. These warrants are accounted for as liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(d)	We did not expense any share-based compensation for the periods presented, but we currently anticipate share-based compensation in the periods following this offering.

(e)	Acquisition-related expenses are the professional service and related costs directly related to our acquisitions and are not part of our core performance.

(f)	Other taxes consist of franchise taxes, commercial activity taxes and other non-income based taxes. Taxes related to salaries or employment are not included.

(g)	Legal settlement is a charge from certain legal proceedings and is further discussed in “Business—Legal Proceedings.”

We have non-exclusive agreements with several processors to provide us services related to transaction processing and transmittal, transaction authorization and data capture, and access to various reporting tools. Certain of these agreements require us to submit a minimum monthly number of transactions for processing. If we submit a number of transactions that is lower than the minimum, we are required to pay to the processor the fees it would have received if we had submitted the required minimum number of transactions.

(b)	We estimated interest payments through the maturity of our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility by applying the interest rate of 5.75% in effect on our revolver as of September 30, 2017, plus an unused fee rate of 0.25%. On October 30, 2017, we replaced our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility with the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

(c)	We estimated interest payments through the maturity of our Junior Subordinated Notes by applying the applicable interest rate of 10.0%.

(d)

We estimated interest payments through the maturity of our Mezzanine Notes by applying the applicable interest rate of 12.0%. As of September 30, 2017, there were 1,424 Mezzanine Warrants outstanding and exercisable to purchase common units in i3 Verticals, LLC. The intrinsic value of the Mezzanine Warrants was $767 as of September 30, 2017. For additional information, see Note 5 in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(e)

In connection with certain of our acquisitions, we may be obligated to pay the seller of the acquired entity certain amounts of contingent consideration as set forth in the relevant purchasing documents, whereby additional consideration may be due upon the achievement of certain specified financial performance targets. i3 Verticals, Inc. accounts for the fair values of such contingent payments in accordance with the Level 3 financial instrument fair value hierarchy at the close of each subsequent reporting period. The acquisition-date fair value of contingent consideration is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. i3 Verticals, Inc. subsequently reassesses such fair value based on probability estimates with respect to the acquired entity’s likelihood of achieving the respective financial performance targets.

Non-Bank Merchant Acquirers—These providers use their own proprietary platforms to sell merchant acquiring solutions delivering fully integrated end-to-end capabilities. Examples include Global Payments, First Data, Heartland Payments and WorldPay. These providers typically generate revenue based on dollar volume processed as well as transaction and other ancillary service fees (e.g., PCI compliance fees).

•	Banks—A few banks in the United States, such as JPMorgan Chase and U.S. Bancorp, possess in-house processing functions, but most outsource their merchant acquiring services to a non-bank merchant acquirer. Banks typically sell merchant acquiring services in combination with other commercial banking products (e.g., bank accounts, loans, treasury services).

•	Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs)—These providers typically use a sales force to sell payment services to businesses and organizations (at a retail price) in a specific market segment or geographic region. ISOs typically outsource merchant acquiring functions and some back office support functions to a bank or non-bank merchant acquirer (at a wholesale price).

(2)	Represents discretionary cash incentive bonuses paid to each of our named executive directors in May 2017.

In fiscal year 2017, Mr. Whitson and Mr. Stanford were each granted an aggregate of 135,113 Class P units (35,113 units were granted on November 29, 2016, and 100,000 units were granted on August 10, 2017), and no Class P units were granted to Mr. Daily. The Class P units cliff vest three years from the anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to the individual’s continued employment with i3 Verticals, LLC. The Class P units represent a right to a fractional portion of the profits and distributions of i3 Verticals, LLC in excess of a “participation threshold” that is set equal to an amount, as determined by the Board, that would be distributable to the members if immediately prior to the grant of the Class P units, i3 Verticals, LLC sold all of its assets for fair market value, paid all of its liabilities, and liquidated. As the Class P units issued to Messrs. Whitson and Stanford were issued at a participation threshold above the valuation of i3 Verticals, LLC on the grant date, the grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718 is zero.

(4)	Represents health insurance premiums paid by i3 Verticals, LLC.

(1)	There is no public market for the Class P units. For purposes of this disclosure, we have valued the Class P units using a third-party valuation of the value per share of Class P units as of September 30, 2017. The amount reported above under the heading “Market Value of Profits Interests That Have Not Vested” reflects the intrinsic value of the profits interests as of September 30, 2017.

Base Salaries : There were no salary changes for Messrs. Daily, Whitson and Stanford for fiscal year 2018. Mr. Daily will continue to receive a nominal salary to cover the cost of health insurance. Messrs. Whitson and Stanford will continue to receive base salaries of $200,000 and $240,000, respectively. Upon completion of the offering, Mr. Daily’s nominal salary will remain unchanged and the salaries for Messrs. Whitson and Stanford will increase to $225,000 and $275,000, respectively.

•

Annual Cash Incentive Awards : Consistent with its historical practice of awarding cash incentive awards following each calendar year, in March 2018, the compensation committee of i3 Verticals, LLC determined it appropriate to approve the following cash incentive bonuses to the named executive officers: no bonus for Mr. Daily, $50,000 for Mr. Whitson and $60,000 for Mr. Stanford. The annual incentive bonuses awarded to each named executive officer in March 2018 were ultimately based on a discretionary performance evaluation conducted by our compensation committee and Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with other executive officers. The determination involved an analysis of both (i) the Company’s overall performance, including significant growth in fiscal year 2017 and (ii) the performance of the individual officer and his contributions to the Company. The compensation committee decided, in consultation with Mr. Daily, to award no bonus to Mr. Daily due to his considerable ownership share in our Company.

If i3 Verticals, Inc. does not have taxable income, we generally will not be required (absent a change of control or other circumstances requiring an early termination payment and treating any outstanding common units held by members other than i3 Verticals, Inc. as having been exchanged for Class A common stock for purposes of determining such early termination payment) to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for that taxable year because no tax benefits will have been actually realized. However, any tax benefits that do not result in realized tax benefits in a given taxable year will likely generate tax attributes that may be used to generate tax benefits in future taxable years. The use of any such tax attributes will result in payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their common units remain outstanding. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—i3 Verticals LLC Agreement.” In these tables, beneficial ownership of common units has been reflected as beneficial ownership of shares of our Class A common stock for which such common units may be exchanged.

•

Overallotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of shares of common stock in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the overallotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the overallotment option. The underwriters may close out any short position by exercising their overallotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

•

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase shares through exercise of the overallotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by exercise of the overallotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

•	Penalty bids permit the Representatives to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by that syndicate member is purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions .
