Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
(d) On September 23, 2021, based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of
Flywire Corporation ("Flywire"), the Board appointed Yvonne Hao as a Class I
director, with her initial term expiring at Flywire's 2022 annual meeting of
stockholders. In connection with Ms. Hao's appointment, and pursuant to
Flywire's bylaws, the Board has increased the number of directors from six to
seven. In addition, effective as of September 23, 2021, the Board appointed
Ms. Hao to serve as a member of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the
"Compensation Committee"). Alex Finkelstein resigned as a member of the
Compensation Committee in connection with Ms. Hao's appointment. The Board has
determined that Ms. Hao is an independent director and eligible to serve on the
Compensation Committee in accordance with applicable rules of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the Nasdaq Stock Market. A
copy of the press release announcing the appointment of Ms. Hao is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
As provided for in Flywire's Compensation Program for Non-Employee Directors
(the "Compensation Policy"), Ms. Hao will receive an annual cash retainer of
$30,000 per year and additional annual retainers for committee service as more
fully described in Flywire's final prospectus dated May 25, 2021 and filed with
the SEC on May 26, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Prospectus"). Under the Compensation Policy, upon the
effectiveness of her appointment, Ms. Hao was automatically granted a restricted
stock unit award (the "Initial RSU") with a fair market value of $350,000. The
Initial RSU will vest in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of
the date of grant provided that Ms. Hao is providing service as a member of the
Board through such vesting date. Under the Compensation Policy, Ms. Hao will
also be entitled to receive an annual restricted stock unit award with a fair
market value of $175,000 (the "Annual RSU"). The Annual RSU will vest on the
earlier of the one-year anniversary from the date of grant or the first annual
meeting of Flywire's stockholders following the date of grant provided that
Ms. Hao is providing service as a member of the Board through such vesting date.
In addition, each of the Initial RSU and Annual RSU will become fully vested
upon a change in control or Ms. Hao's earlier death or disability. Flywire's
Compensation Policy is described in further detail in the Prospectus.
Ms. Hao and Flywire also entered an indemnification agreement requiring Flywire
to indemnify Ms. Hao to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law with
respect to her service as a director. Flywire's form of indemnification
agreement was filed with the SEC on May 18, 2021 as Exhibit 10.1 to the
Company's Amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 and is incorporated herein
by reference.
There are no family relationships between Ms. Hao and any of the Company's
directors or executive officers and Ms. Hao does not have any direct or indirect
material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item
404(a) of Regulation S-K.
