QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2021 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROCEDURAL MATTERS
Q:
Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
A:
The Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of International Money Express, Inc. (the “Company,” “Intermex,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is providing to you these proxy materials.

If you are a stockholder of record and you submit your proxy to us, you direct certain of our officers to vote your shares of Intermex common stock in accordance with the voting instructions in your proxy. If you are a beneficial owner and you follow the voting instructions provided in the notice you receive from your broker, bank or other intermediary, you direct such organization to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. These proxy materials are being distributed to you on or about May 13, 2021. As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting and we request that you vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement.

We continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and are sensitive to the public health and travel concerns of our stockholders, directors and management, as well as the protocols that federal, state, and local governments have imposed in response to COVID-19 and any additional protocols they may impose if current efforts to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and its variants become ineffective. If we are legally permitted to hold the 2021 Annual Meeting in person, we intend to follow applicable federal, state and local guidelines for social gatherings and may impose additional restrictions on anyone who chooses to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting in person in order to ensure the health and safety of all those in attendance. Please monitor our press releases, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our corporate website at www.intermexonline.com for updated information.
Q:
Where is the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:
The 2021 Annual Meeting will be held at the Miami Marriott Dadeland, 9090 S. Dadeland Blvd., Miami, FL 33156 or via remote communication as more fully described herein. Stockholders may request directions to the 2021 Annual Meeting by calling (305) 671-8000 or by visiting https://investors.intermexonline.com/investor-relations.
Q:
Could emerging developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic affect our ability to hold an in-person 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:
We continue to monitor the situation regarding the ongoing coronavirus pandemic closely. If it is not legally permissible or advisable to hold the 2021 Annual Meeting in person, we will hold the 2021 Annual Meeting at the date and time set forth in the notice to stockholders in virtual form via the Internet at http://www.cstproxy.com/intermex/2021.
In such event, we will make a public announcement as soon as practicable prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting, which announcement shall contain instructions on how to attend, participate in and vote at the virtual 2021 Annual Meeting, including how to demonstrate your ownership of our stock as of the record date. Please note you will only be able to participate in the 2021 Annual Meeting by means of remote communication if the Company decides to hold a virtual annual meeting, instead of holding an in-person meeting at the location set forth in the notice to stockholders. Please monitor our press releases, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our corporate website at www.intermexonline.com for updated information. If you are planning to attend our 2021 Annual Meeting, please check our corporate website prior to the meeting date. As always, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Q:
Who is entitled to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:
You may vote your shares of Intermex common stock if you owned your shares at the close of business on the Record Date. You may cast one vote for each share of common stock held by you as of the Record Date on all matters presented. See the questions entitled “How can I vote my shares in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting?” and “How can I vote my shares without attending the 2021 Annual Meeting?” below for additional details.
As of the Record Date, holders of common stock were eligible to cast an aggregate of 39,143,088 votes at the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Q:
What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record or as a beneficial owner?
A:
You are the “stockholder of record” of any shares that are registered directly in your name with Intermex’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have sent the proxy materials directly to you if you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may grant your voting proxy directly to Intermex or to a third party, or vote in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting or by using any of the voting methods described below in the question entitled “How can I vote my shares without attending the 2021 Annual Meeting?”.
5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

You are the “beneficial owner” of any shares (which are considered to be held in “street name”) that are held on your behalf by a brokerage account or by a bank or another intermediary that is the stockholder of record for those shares. If you are a beneficial owner, you did not receive proxy materials directly from Intermex, but your broker, bank or other intermediary forwarded you proxy materials together with voting instructions for directing that organization how to vote your shares. You may also attend the 2021 Annual Meeting, but because a beneficial owner is not a stockholder of record, you may not vote in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the organization that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Q:
How can I vote my shares in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:
You may vote shares for which you are the stockholder of record in person, or via the virtual meeting platform in the event of a virtual-only meeting, at the 2021 Annual Meeting. You may vote shares you hold beneficially in street name in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting only if you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or other intermediary that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also direct the voting of your shares as described below in the question entitled “How can I vote my shares without attending the 2021 Annual Meeting?” so that your vote will be counted even if you later decide not to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Q:
How can I vote my shares without attending the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:
Whether you hold shares as a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the 2021 Annual Meeting by the following means:
(1) By Internet — If you received a Notice of Internet Availability by mail, you can submit your proxy or voting instructions over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability or proxy materials by email, you may submit your proxy or voting instructions over the Internet by following the instructions included in the email. If you received a printed set of the proxy materials by mail, including a paper copy of the proxy card or voting instruction form, you may submit your proxy or voting instructions over the Internet by following the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction form.
(2) By mail — Complete, sign and date the proxy card where indicated and return it in the prepaid envelope included with the proxy card. Proxy cards submitted by mail must be received by the time of the meeting in order for your shares to be voted. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may vote by mail by completing, signing and dating the voting instructions in the notice provided by your broker, bank or other intermediary and mailing it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope.
(3) By telephone — If you are a stockholder of record, you can submit your proxy by calling the telephone number specified on the paper copy of the proxy card you received if you received a printed set of the proxy materials. You must have the control number that appears on your proxy card available when submitting your proxy over the telephone. Most stockholders who hold their shares in street name may submit voting instructions by calling the number specified on the paper copy of the voting instruction form provided by their bank, broker, or other intermediary.
If your control number is not recognized, please refer to your proxy card or voting instruction form for specific voting instructions.
Q:
How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:
The stockholders of record of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting must either (1) be present in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting (which includes participation via remote communication pursuant to Intermex’s bylaws) or (2) have properly submitted a proxy in order to constitute a quorum at the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote, and therefore are included for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the 2021 Annual Meeting. A broker “non-vote” occurs when an organization that is the
6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stockholder of record that holds shares for a beneficial owner and that is otherwise counted as present or represented by proxy does not vote on a particular proposal because that organization does not have discretionary voting power under applicable regulations to vote on that item and has not received specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner.
Q:
What proposals will be voted on at the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:
The proposals scheduled to be voted on at the 2021 Annual Meeting are:
The election of the three Class III directors listed in this proxy statement to serve for a term of three years or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified;
The ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as Intermex’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; and
Such other business as may properly be brought before the 2021 Annual Meeting, and at any adjournments or postponements of the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Q:
What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?
A:
Proposal
Vote Required
Broker Discretionary
Voting Allowed
Proposal One — Election of Three Class III directors
Plurality of the Shares Cast in Respect of the Shares Entitled to Vote and Present in Person or Represented by Proxy
No
 
 
 
Proposal Two — Ratification of the appointment of independent registered public accounting firm
Majority of the Shares Entitled to Vote and Present in Person or Represented by Proxy
Yes
Q:
How are votes counted?
A:
All shares entitled to vote and that are voted in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting will be counted, and all shares represented by properly executed and unrevoked proxies received prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting will be voted at the 2021 Annual Meeting as indicated in such proxies. You may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” on each or all of the nominees for election as director (Proposal One) and “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on Proposal Two.
With respect to Proposal One, Intermex’s bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares cast with respect to the shares entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting of stockholders is required to elect a director, which means that the three nominees who receive the most affirmative votes will be elected to the Board of Directors. “Withhold” votes with respect to any director nominee do not count as votes cast and have no effect on the vote. Broker non-votes are not considered a “vote cast,” and will have no effect on the vote for Proposal One. With respect to Proposal Two, the majority of the shares entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy is required to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions with respect to Proposal Two will be deemed to be votes cast and have the same effect as a vote against such proposal. Because a broker, bank or other intermediary holding shares for a beneficial owner has discretion to vote on Proposal Two, broker non-votes will be counted for quorum purposes as discussed below.
Q:
What is the effect of not casting a vote or if I submit a proxy but do not specify how my shares are to be voted?
A:
If you are the stockholder of record and you do not vote by proxy card or in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted at the 2021 Annual Meeting. If you submit a proxy, but you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.
7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide the organization that is the stockholder of record for your shares with voting instructions, the organization will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under applicable regulations, brokers and other intermediaries have the discretion to vote on “routine” matters, such as Proposal Two, but do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters, such as Proposal One. Therefore, if you do not provide voting instructions to that organization, it may vote your shares only on Proposal Two and any other routine matters properly presented for a vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Q:
What is the effect of a broker non-vote?
A:
An organization that holds shares of Intermex’s common stock for a beneficial owner will have the discretion to vote on routine proposals, such as Proposal Two, if it has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner at least ten days prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other intermediary that is otherwise counted as present or represented by proxy does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have the discretion to vote the shares. A broker non-vote will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the 2021 Annual Meeting, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote with respect to a particular proposal as to which that broker non-vote occurs. Thus, a broker non-vote will not impact our ability to obtain a quorum for the 2021 Annual Meeting and will not otherwise affect the outcome of the votes on Proposal One or Proposal Two.
Q:
How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?
A:
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares:
“FOR” the three nominees for election as directors (Proposal One); and
“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as Intermex’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 (Proposal Two).
Q:
What happens if additional matters are presented at the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A.
If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the 2021 Annual Meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the 2021 Annual Meeting to another time or place, the persons named as proxy holders, Robert Lisy and Andras Bende, or any of them, will have discretion to vote the proxies held by him/them on those matters in accordance with his/their best judgment. Intermex does not currently anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Q:
Can I change my vote after I have voted?
A:
If you are the stockholder of record, you may change your vote and revoke a proxy given pursuant to this solicitation at any time prior to its exercise by (1) submitting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) using any of the applicable voting methods described above in the question titled “How can I vote my shares without attending the 2021 Annual Meeting?”, (2) providing a written notice of revocation to Intermex’s Corporate Secretary at International Money Express, Inc., 9480 S. Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33156, prior to your shares being voted, or (3) attending the 2021 Annual Meeting and voting in person, or, in the event we hold a virtual-only annual meeting, participating in the 2021 Annual Meeting and voting via the virtual meeting platform, which, in each case, will supersede any proxy previously submitted by you. However, merely attending or participating in the meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically request it.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may generally change your vote by (1) submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other intermediary or (2) if you have obtained a legal proxy from the organization that holds your shares giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the 2021 Annual Meeting and voting in person. However, please consult that organization for any specific rules it may have regarding your ability to change your voting instructions. See also the information described above in the question titled “How can I vote my shares without attending the 2021 Annual Meeting?”.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:
What should I do if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?
A:
You may receive more than one set of proxy materials, including multiple copies of proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you are a beneficial owner with shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate notice or voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a stockholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one set of proxy materials. Please complete, sign, date and return each Intermex proxy card or voting instruction card that you receive, and/or follow the voting instructions on each notice you receive, to ensure that all your shares are voted.
Q:
Is my vote confidential?
A:
Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within Intermex or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary for applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation and certification of the votes and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally, stockholders provide written comments on their proxy cards, which may be forwarded to Intermex management.
Q:
Who will serve as inspector of election?
A:
The inspector of election will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent.
Q:
Where can I find the voting results of the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:
We will publish final voting results in our Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within four (4) business days of the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Q:
Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:
Intermex will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes. We may reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, nominees, fiduciaries and other persons representing beneficial owners for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to those beneficial owners. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person or by other means. These directors, officers and employees will not be additionally compensated but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in doing so.
Q:
What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?
A:
You may submit proposals, including recommendations of director candidates, for consideration at future stockholder meetings.
For inclusion in Intermex’s proxy materials — Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in Intermex’s proxy statement and for consideration at the next annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals in writing to Intermex’s Corporate Secretary in a timely manner. In order to be included in the proxy statement for the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholder proposals must be received by Intermex’s Corporate Secretary no later than January 13, 2022, and must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
To be brought at annual meeting — In addition, you can find in Intermex’s bylaws an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present certain matters, including nominations for the election of directors, at an annual meeting of stockholders.
In general, Intermex’s bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will determine the business to be conducted at an annual meeting, including nominations for the election of directors, as specified in the Board of Directors’ notice of meeting or as properly brought at the meeting by the Board of Directors. However, a stockholder may also present at an annual meeting any business, including nominations for the election of directors, specified in a written notice properly delivered to Intermex’s Corporate Secretary within the Notice Period (as defined below), if the stockholder held shares at the time of the notice and the
9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

record date for the meeting. The notice must contain specified information about the proposed business or nominees and about the proponent stockholder. If a stockholder who has delivered such a notice does not appear to present his or her proposal at the meeting, Intermex shall not present the proposal for a vote.
The “Notice Period” is the period not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the one year anniversary of the date of the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days, or delayed by more than 70 days, from the anniversary date of the previous year’s meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. As a result, the Notice Period for the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders will start on February 25, 2022 and end on March 27, 2022.
This is only a summary of the advance notice procedure. Complete details regarding all requirements that must be met are found in our bylaws. You can obtain a copy of the relevant bylaw provisions by writing to Intermex’s Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices at 9480 S. Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33156 or by accessing Intermex’s filings on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. All notices of proposals by stockholders, whether or not requested for inclusion in Intermex’s proxy materials, should be sent to Intermex’s Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices.
Q:
How may I obtain a separate copy of the proxy materials?
A:
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single annual report, proxy statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. A single annual report and proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Thus, if you are a stockholder of record and share an address with another stockholder of record, each stockholder may not receive a separate copy of the proxy materials. If at any time a stockholder no longer wishes to participate in “householding,” such stockholder may request to receive separate or additional copies of the proxy materials by (1) notifying its broker or (2) calling our Investor Relations department at (305) 671-8005 or writing to International Money Express, Inc., 9480 S. Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33156, Attention: Investor Relations. Upon written or oral request of a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of this proxy statement and annual report was delivered, we will deliver promptly separate copies of these documents. Stockholders who share an address and receive multiple copies of the proxy materials can also request to receive a single copy by following the instructions above. The proxy materials are also available at https://www.cstproxy.com/intermex/2021.
Q:
How may I obtain a copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other information about the Company?
A:
Additional information regarding the Company appears in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, a copy of which, including the financial statements and schedules thereto, but not the exhibits, accompanies this proxy statement. In addition, such report and the other reports we file with the SEC are available, free of charge, through the Investor Relations section of our website at https://www.intermexonline.com. Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, including the financial statements and schedules thereto (without exhibits or documents incorporated by reference therein), may be obtained without charge, by contacting the Corporate Secretary in writing at International Money Express, Inc., 9480 S.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF THREE CLASS III DIRECTORS
General
Our Board of Directors currently consists of eight members who are divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Our bylaws permit our Board of Directors to establish by resolution the authorized number of directors, and nine directors are currently authorized. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of an equal number of directors.
Nominees for Class III Directors
Three candidates have been nominated for election as Class III directors at the 2021 Annual Meeting for a three-year term expiring in 2024. Upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has nominated Robert Lisy, Adam Godfrey and Michael Purcell for election as Class III directors. Biographical information about each of the nominees is contained in the following section. A discussion of the qualifications, attributes and skills of each nominee that led our Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to the conclusion that he should continue to serve as a director follows each of the director and nominee biographies.
If you are a stockholder of record and you sign your proxy card but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted FOR the election of Messrs. Lisy, Godfrey and Purcell. Each of Messrs. Lisy, Godfrey and Purcell has accepted such nomination; however, in the event that a nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the 2021 Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by the Board of Directors to fill such vacancy. If you wish to give specific instructions with respect to the voting of directors, you may do so by indicating your instructions on your proxy card. If you are a beneficial owner holding your shares in street name and you do not give voting instructions to your broker, bank or other intermediary, that organization will leave your shares unvoted on this matter.
Recommendation of the Board
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF ROBERT LISY, ADAM GODFREY AND MICHAEL PURCELL.
Information Regarding the Board of Directors and Director Nominees
Our Board is presently fixed at eight directors in accordance with the bylaws of the Company. The Board of Directors is divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. One class of directors is elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders for a term of three years. Each director holds office until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or the director’s earlier resignation, death or removal. The term of the Board’s Class III directors expires at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, the term of the Board’s Class I directors expires at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and the term of the Class II directors expires at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Robert Lisy has served as a director of the Company since 2018. Mr. Lisy served as a director of International Money Express Sub 2, LLC’s predecessor entities from 2009 to 2018. Mr. Lisy is the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of International Money Express, Inc. and its predecessors, which he joined in 2009. Mr. Lisy has 30 years of experience in the retail financial services and electronic payment processing industry in various positions, including three years as the Chief Marketing and Sales Officer of Vigo Remittance Corp., a money transfer and bill payments service in the United States and internationally, and over seven years at Western Union in various sales, marketing and operational positions of increasing responsibility. Mr. Lisy was a founding partner of Direct Express/Paystation America, which offered, among other things, prepaid debit cards to federal benefit recipients, where he served as Chief Operating Officer and on the board of directors. He was an integral part in the efforts to successfully sell Direct Express in 2000 to American Payment Systems. Mr. Lisy holds a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Cleveland State University. We believe that Mr. Lisy’s experience as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intermex coupled with his extensive operational experience in the retail financial services and remittance industries make him well qualified to serve as a director.
Adam Godfrey has served as a director of the Company since 2018. Mr. Godfrey served as a director of the Company’s predecessor entity from 2006 to 2017. Mr. Godfrey is a Managing Partner of Stella Point Capital, which he co-founded in 2012. Stella Point Capital is a New York-based private equity firm focused on industrial, consumer and business services investments. Mr. Godfrey is an investment professional and has sourced and managed numerous investments for Stella Point Capital. Previously, Mr. Godfrey spent nearly 19 years with Lindsay Goldberg and its predecessor entities, which he joined in 1992. Mr. Godfrey was a Partner at the firm and served on the board of directors of 12 portfolio companies during his time with Lindsay Goldberg. Currently, he serves on the board of directors of First American Payment Systems Holdings, Inc., SPC Velir, LP, Vereco Holdings, LLC, American Orthodontics Corporation, and publicly traded Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR), on which he currently also serves as Chairman of the board of directors and a member of the corporate governance committee. Mr. Godfrey holds a bachelor’s degree from Brown University and a master’s degree in business administration from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. We believe that Mr. Godfrey’s extensive investment management and transactional experience coupled with his experience serving as the chairman of a publicly traded company and on the boards of directors of other companies make him well qualified to serve as a director.
Kurt Holstein joined the Board of Directors in 2018 upon completion of the merger among the Company, FinTech Acquisition Corp. II and certain other parties to the transaction (the “Merger”). Mr. Holstein is President of Azoic Ventures, Inc., an investment vehicle and advisory firm which he founded in 2011. Mr. Holstein co-founded Rosetta Marketing Group, which became one of the five largest independent digital agencies in the United States prior to its sale to a public company in 2011, where he served in various roles, including Chief Operating Officer, President and Vice Chairman, and led the execution of Rosetta’s significant acquisitions, financing rounds, and the sale of the firm. Previously, Mr. Holstein spent 16 years at Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) with positions of increasing responsibility in management systems and brand management. Mr. Holstein serves on the boards of directors of several privately held companies, including SPC Velir, LP and The Piseco Company. Mr. Holstein holds a bachelor’s degree in Engineering from Cornell University. We believe that Mr. Holstein’s extensive operational and transactional experience coupled with his experience serving on boards of directors make him well qualified to serve as a director.

(NYSE: SNDR) from August 2002 until his retirement in April 2019. He joined Schneider Logistics in 1994 as vice president of engineering and systems.

degree and a master’s degree in industrial and management engineering from Montana State University and a doctorate in industrial and systems engineering from The Georgia Institute of Technology. In October 2009, Mr. Lofgren was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering. We believe that Mr. Lofgren’s experience as both a technology leader and a public company CEO coupled with his experience serving on boards of directors make him well qualified to serve as a director.
Laura Maydón has served as a director of the Company since 2020. Ms. Maydón was the founding Managing Director and CEO for Endeavor Miami, an entrepreneurial accelerator for scale-ups, which she co-founded and led from September 2013 to June 2019, when she stepped away from day-to-day activities to serve for a year as a board member. She currently serves as mentor of the organization. From 2003 to 2013, Ms. Maydón held a variety of positions of increasing responsibility at Visa (NYSE: V), ultimately serving from 2010 through 2013 as Senior Business Leader, Commercial Solutions, LATAM & Caribbean after having been Business Development Leader, LATAM & Caribbean from 2004 to 2010. She currently serves on the Board of Advisors for Sustalytics and NovoPayment. She holds a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School and a B.S. in Economics from Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de México. We believe that Ms. Maydón’s years of experience at Visa and Endeavor Miami and knowledge of digital financial and payment services, make her well-qualified to serve as a director.
Michael Purcell joined the Board of Directors in 2018 upon completion of the Merger and was appointed lead independent director for the Company on September 24, 2020. Mr. Purcell is a certified public accountant and became an independent business consultant following retirement in 2015.

He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and a former President of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Mr. Purcell holds a bachelor’s degree from Lehigh University and a master’s degree in business administration from Drexel University. We believe that Mr. Purcell’s extensive public accounting experience coupled with his experience serving on boards of directors make him well qualified to serve as a director.
John Rincon has served as a director of the Company since 2018. Mr. Rincon served as a director of the Company’s predecessor entity from 1994 to 2017. Mr. Rincon founded Intermex Wire Transfer, LLC in 1994 and served as its Chairman and President until 2006.

Mr. Rincon is the Chairman of Rincon Capital Partners, a private investment firm, which he founded in 2007. We believe that Mr. Rincon’s experience as the Company’s founder coupled with his extensive operational and transactional experience in the money remittance industry make him well qualified to serve as a director.
Justin Wender has served as a director of the Company since 2018. Mr. Wender served as a director of Interwire LLC, an affiliate of Stella Point Capital, from 2017 to 2018.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Director Independence
As a result of our common stock being listed on Nasdaq, we adhere to the rules of such exchange in determining whether a director is independent. Nasdaq listing rules require that a majority of the board of directors of a company listed on Nasdaq be composed of “independent directors,” which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors has determined that Michael Purcell, Kurt Holstein, Christopher Lofgren, John Rincon and Laura Maydón are independent directors under the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director had with FinTech Acquisition Corp. II and Intermex Holdings II, Inc. and has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them, such as those described in the section below titled, “Related Party Transactions.” In addition, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Purcell as the Lead Independent Director, effective September 2020.
Exit From Controlled Company Status
During 2020, we completed our timely transition to full compliance with Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules after exiting “controlled company” status within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules. As a result we (a) have a majority of independent directors on our board of directors and (b)(i) have at least a majority of independent directors on each of the compensation and nominating and governance committees and (b)(ii) have compensation and nominating and governance committees composed entirely of independent directors. We have satisfied the foregoing corporate governance requirements.
Board, Committee and Annual Meeting Attendance
During 2020, the Board of Directors held six meetings. In 2020, all directors attended or participated in 75% or more of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings of all committees of the Board of Directors on which such director served, in each case held during such director’s relevant period of service.
Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the Board of Directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, we encourage, but do not require, our directors to attend. One of our directors, our Chairman and CEO Robert Lisy, attended the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Intermex has established a separately standing audit committee, nominating and corporate governance committee and compensation committee.
Audit Committee Information
Intermex has established an Audit Committee comprised of independent directors. The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Purcell, Holstein and Rincon and Ms. Maydón, with Mr. Purcell serving as its chairman. The Board has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent under Nasdaq’s listing rules and under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.
The Audit Committee will at all times be composed exclusively of independent directors who are “financially literate” as defined under Nasdaq’s listing rules. The Nasdaq listing rules define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.
In addition, the Company is required to certify to Nasdaq that the Audit Committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite
18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The Board has determined that Mr. Purcell satisfies Nasdaq’s definition of financial sophistication and also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.
The purpose of the Audit Committee is to, among other things, appoint, retain, set compensation of, and supervise our independent registered public accountants, review the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and review our accounting practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls.
The Audit Committee held five meetings during the last fiscal year. The Audit Committee has a written charter that is available on the Company’s website at www.intermexonline.com. The information on this website is not a part of or incorporated into this proxy statement.
The Audit Committee Report is included in this proxy statement on page 37.
Compensation Committee Information
Intermex has a Compensation Committee consisting of Messrs. Holstein, Lofgren, and Rincon, with Mr. Holstein serving as its chairman. Our Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors under the Nasdaq listing rules.
The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to, among other things, establish and review our general compensation philosophy, review and approve compensation paid to our officers and directors and to administer incentive compensation plans and programs, including authority to make and modify awards under such plans.
The Compensation Committee determines salaries, incentives and other forms of compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and our executive officers and reviews and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to director compensation. As part of its review and establishment of the performance criteria and compensation of executive officers, the Compensation Committee meets separately, at least on an annual basis, with the Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s principal human resources executive, and any other corporate officers, as it deems appropriate. The Compensation Committee also reviews and considers the competitiveness of the Company’s executive compensation as compared with the Company’s peer groups. The Compensation Committee meets without the presence of executive officers when approving or deliberating on executive officer compensation and the Chief Executive Officer may not be present during voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee with respect to determination of his own compensation. The Compensation Committee reviews and authorizes the terms of employment agreements, severance agreements, and other material compensation agreements between Intermex and our executive officers, and reviews and recommends to the Board director’s and officer’s indemnification arrangements. In addition, the Compensation Committee administers our incentive compensation and equity-based plans.
The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, delegate its duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee as it deems appropriate and to the extent permitted by applicable law. Further, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, delegate its duties and responsibilities with respect to compensation of employees (other than compensation of executive officers) and broad-based benefit plans and programs as it seems appropriate to one or more officers of the Company.
The Compensation Committee also has the sole discretion and authority, pursuant to its charter, to retain compensation consultants, outside legal counsel and other advisors or experts, as it deems appropriate, to assist it in carrying out its duties and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) as the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant for assistance with determining executive officer compensation targets and the design of the Company’s Employee Incentive Bonus Plan for fiscal years 2020 and 2021, determining director compensation for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 and the design of a peer group for compensation analysis. The Committee determined that no work performed by FW Cook during fiscal year 2020 raised a conflict of interest.
The Company has considered its compensation policies and practices for its employees and concluded that the policies and practices do not give rise to risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. This conclusion was based on the assessment performed by the Company’s management and was reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Compensation Committee held six meetings and acted by unanimous written consent in two instances during the last fiscal year. The Compensation Committee has a written charter that is available on the Company’s website at www.intermexonline.com. The information on this website is not a part of or incorporated into this proxy statement.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Information
Intermex has a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consisting of Messrs. Lofgren, and Purcell and Ms. Maydón, with Mr. Lofgren serving as its chairman. Our Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent directors under the Nasdaq listing rules.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our Board of Directors, overseeing the composition of the Board and its committees, evaluating the performance of the Board and developing and maintaining corporate governance policies and related matters delegated by the Board or required by federal securities laws or Nasdaq listing rules.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held four meetings and acted by unanimous written consent in one instance during the last fiscal year. The corporate Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has a written charter that is available on the Company’s website at www.intermexonline.com. The information on this website is not a part of or incorporated into this proxy statement.
Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers persons identified by its members, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has no specific minimum qualifications for director candidates. In general, however, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background, integrity and professionalism, as well as the candidate’s ability to satisfy the Nasdaq and SEC’s independence requirements, in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific Board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of Board members. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.
The Board is actively seeking additional directors to satisfy Nasdaq and SEC independence requirements and to increase diversity among the directors.
To recommend a director candidate for consideration, a stockholder should submit a written statement of the qualifications of the proposed nominee, including full name and address, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Intermex’s Corporate Secretary, 9480 S. Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33156. Refer to “What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?” in the section above captioned “Questions and Answers About the 2021 Annual Meeting and Procedural Matters” for information regarding the procedures for stockholders to nominate candidates to the Board at an annual meeting of stockholders.
Board Leadership Structure and Board Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board of Directors is chaired by our Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Lisy. We combined the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board because we believe it will provide a single, clear chain of command to execute our strategic initiatives and business plans and help to ensure that our Board and management act with a common purpose. In addition, we believe that a combined Chief Executive Officer/Chairman of the Board will be better positioned to act as a bridge between management and the Board, facilitating the regular flow of information. We also believe that it is advantageous to have a Board Chairman with an extensive history with and knowledge of the Company, as is the case with our Chief Executive Officer. Further, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Purcell as the Lead Independent Director, effective September 2020. The Lead Independent Director’s duties include serving as a liaison between the Chairman of the Board

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and the non-management directors; reviewing and approving Board meeting agendas, information sent to the Board and meeting schedules; reviewing Board committee agendas; overseeing the Board and Board committee self-evaluation process in concert with the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; chairing independent sessions of non-management directors; presiding at Board meetings in the Chairman’s absence; having the ability to call Board meetings, executive sessions or meetings of non-management directors and such other reasonable duties that the Board may prescribe from time to time.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the major risks facing the Company while management is responsible for assessing and mitigating the Company’s risks on a day-to-day basis. In addition, the Board has delegated oversight of certain categories of risk to the Audit and Compensation Committees. The Audit Committee reviews and discusses with management significant financial and nonfinancial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor, control and report such exposures. The Compensation Committee oversees management of risks relating to the Company’s compensation plans and programs. In performing their oversight responsibilities, the Board and Audit Committee periodically discuss with management the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Audit and Compensation Committees report to the Board as appropriate on matters that involve specific areas of risk that each Committee oversees.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics for our directors, officers, employees and certain affiliates in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.intermexonline.com. If we amend or grant a waiver of one or more of the provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we intend to satisfy the requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding the disclosure of amendments to or waivers from provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer (or persons performing similar functions) by posting the required information on the Company’s website at www.intermexonline.com. The information found on the website is not part of or incorporated into this proxy statement.
Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy
We have a securities trading policy that, among other things, prohibits Intermex’s directors and senior executive officers from: (i) engaging in short sales, (ii) transactions in put options, call options or other derivative securities related to Intermex securities, (iii) hedging or monetization transactions related to Intermex securities, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds, and (iv) holding Intermex securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging Intermex securities as collateral for a loan.
Contacting the Board of Directors
Historically, we have not provided a formal process related to stockholder communications with the Board because we believed that it was premature to develop such processes given the historical limited liquidity of our common stock, smaller stockholder base and controlled company status; however, any stockholder who desires to contact our non-employee directors regarding appropriate Intermex business-related comments may do so by mail by writing Intermex’s Corporate Secretary at International Money Express, Inc., 9480 S. Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33156. Our Corporate Secretary, or someone acting in his place, receives these communications unfiltered by Intermex, forwards these communications to the appropriate committee of the Board of Directors or non-employee director, and facilitates an appropriate response. Please note that requests for investor relations materials should be sent to investors@intermexonline.com.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards
We maintain the Employee Incentive Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”), an annual, cash-based, incentive plan, in which certain sales employees and all non-sales employees, including the named executive officers, participate. For 2020, payments under the Bonus Plan were determined based on completion of certain individual performance objectives, varying by employee category/position (the “Objective component”) and Company-wide Adjusted EBITDA targets (the “Adjusted EBITDA component”), as discussed below. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of Item 7 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for our calculation methodology.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Each named executive officer’s target bonus amount was determined at the outset of the year and was expressed generally as a percentage of such officer's base salary. The target bonus percentages for 2020 were 50% for Mr. Lisy, 35% for Mr. Lauro, 32% for Mr. Aguilar and 35% for Mr. Nilsen. The CEO’s Bonus Plan was determined solely based on Adjusted EBITDA performance. The Bonus Plan for the other named executive officers was determined 75% based on Adjusted EBITDA performance and 25% based on the Objective component.
Under the terms of the Bonus Plan, the Objective component was measured and paid on a quarterly basis and may range from 0% to 150% of target. Half of the Adjusted EBITDA component is paid based on quarterly performance with the remaining half subject to full-year performance. The quarterly payout for Adjusted EBITDA is made on a binary basis, such that if the quarterly target is achieved, then the quarterly payout is made (12.5% of target), with no partial payouts. All quarterly Adjusted EBITDA targets were set at the beginning of the year.
For the full-year Adjusted EBITDA component, the Compensation Committee set threshold, target and maximum levels of performance at the outset of the year. Threshold performance was set at 90% of the targeted Adjusted EBITDA amount, achievement of which pays 0% of target. Target performance was set at 100% of the targeted Adjusted EBITDA amount, achievement of which pays 100% of target. Maximum performance was set at 115% of the targeted Adjusted EBITDA amount, the achievement of which pays 150% of target. There would be no earnout for performance below threshold and linear interpolation applies between threshold/target and target/maximum performance levels.
For 2020, the pre-established quarterly Adjusted EBITDA targets were achieved for all quarters. The full-year Adjusted EBITDA performance of $68.4 million was above the target of $63.1 million, resulting in a full-year Adjusted EBITDA earnout of 127.8% of target.
Mr. Nilsen’s individual objectives are tied to his role as Chief Revenue Officer and are specifically measured based on actual gross margin sales versus budget for each quarter. For each quarter in 2020, Mr. Nilsen achieved between 92.1% to 104.5% of the applicable gross margin sales quarterly budget.
Mr. Lauro’s individual objectives were based on the following factors: (i) product profitability analysis, (ii) enhancing liquidity management, (iii) improving investor communication and (iv) enhancing budget and financial projections in light of COVID-19 pandemic effects. For each of the first three quarters in 2020, Mr. Lauro’s level of achievement of his individual objectives ranged from 95.0% to 98.8% of the applicable goal.
Mr. Aguilar’s individual objectives are based on the following factors: (i) enhancing and consolidating the Operations functions of the Company, (ii) improving functionality of the Company’s call centers in Mexico and Guatemala, and (iii) enhancing the Information Technology, Purchasing and New Products Departments. For each quarter in 2020, Mr. Aguilar’s level of achievement of his individual objectives ranged from 70% to 100% of the applicable goal.
Based on the combined impact of Adjusted EBITDA and Objective component performance, the overall payout as a percent of target was 127.8% of target for the CEO (based on Adjusted EBITDA performance only) and ranged from 101.5% to 120.7% for Messrs. Lauro, Aguilar and Nilsen, based on quarterly and annual Adjusted EBITDA and quarterly Objective components performance.

Each of Messrs. Lisy, Aguilar and Nilsen is a party to an employment agreement with the Company, summarized below.

The New CEO Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Lisy is eligible to earn a performance based annual cash incentive with a target of 100% of his base salary. Any annual cash incentive will be conditioned on the achievement of certain performance goals, and earning the target bonus amount will be based on the achievement by Intermex of budgeted Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the New CEO Employment Agreement) as approved by the Board in its reasonable discretion. The Board may, with Mr. Lisy’s consent, prospectively amend or modify from time to time the established cash incentive criteria, including any related performance requirements and target levels. The actual amount of annual cash incentive payable will be determined by the Board in its discretion. The New CEO Employment Agreement also provides, subject to approval by the Compensation Committee, for an award to Mr. Lisy of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”), in each case granted under the terms of the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and having a grant date value of $1,250,000, as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On March 4, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved the awards, consisting of 88,215 shares of restricted stock (in lieu of RSUs) and 88,215 PSUs. The vesting terms and performance goals of the awards were determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant and are generally consistent with awards granted to the Company’s other employees, except that, as required by the New CEO Employment Agreement, if Mr. Lisy retires after reaching age 66, all awards granted to Mr. Lisy under the Company’s long term incentive program after 2020 will continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedule, subject to attainment of any applicable performance goals.
The New CEO Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Lisy continues to be eligible to participate in all benefit programs (excluding severance, bonus, incentive or profit-sharing plans) offered by Intermex Holdings on the same basis as generally made available to other employees of Intermex Holdings and vacation and reimbursement benefits customary for a chief executive officer. In addition, Mr. Lisy is also entitled to the following benefits: (a) car allowance; (b) reimbursement for legal and certain other advisory fees incurred in connection with the negotiation of the New CEO Employment Agreement; and (c) if obtained by Intermex Holdings during the term of Mr. Lisy’s employment, the right to acquire and assume the premium payments under any life insurance policy held by Intermex Holdings upon termination of Mr. Lisy’s employment.

The New CEO Employment Agreement continues to subject Mr. Lisy to the following restrictive covenants: (i) non-solicitation of customers and employees of Intermex Holdings during employment and for two years thereafter; (ii) non-competition during employment and for two years thereafter; (iii) non-disclosure of confidential information for an unspecified duration; and (iv) mutual and perpetual non-disparagement.

The COO Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Aguilar is eligible to participate in the Company’s annual incentive compensation plan and shall have a target performance based annual cash incentive opportunity of $100,000. The amount of any annual cash incentive payable will be determined by the Board in its discretion, and may be conditioned on the achievement of certain performance goals established by the Board in its discretion, including the achievement by the Company of certain Adjusted EBITDA results or other objective performance measures and the achievement by Mr. Aguilar of certain personal objectives. The Board may amend or modify from time to time the annual incentive compensation plan, including modifying the performance requirements, target levels and participation terms thereof. Mr. Aguilar is also eligible to participate in any benefit plans (excluding severance, bonus, incentive or profit-sharing plans, unless approved or determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof in its discretion) offered by the Company as in effect from time to time on the same basis as generally made available to other employees of the Company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Retirement Benefit Programs
The Company maintains a tax-qualified defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”) that provides retirement benefits to employees, including matching contributions. The Company matches 50% of each employee’s contributions up to a maximum of 3% of their total compensation. The NEOs are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan on the same terms as other participating employees.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Severance under Employment Agreements
Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements with Mr. Lisy, Mr. Aguilar and Mr. Nilsen, the NEOs are entitled to receive certain payments in connection with certain termination events.
In the event that (i) Mr. Lisy is terminated by Intermex Holdings other than for Cause, Disability (as such terms are defined in the New CEO Employment Agreement) or death, (ii) if Mr. Lisy resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the New CEO Employment Agreement) or (iii) Mr. Lisy’s employment is terminated pursuant to Intermex Holdings providing notice of non-renewal of the term of the New CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Lisy is entitled to an amount equal to two times the sum of Mr. Lisy’s base salary and Mr. Lisy’s target bonus payable in equal installments over the two year period following termination and any other Accrued Rights (as defined in the New CEO Employment Agreement). In the event Mr. Lisy’s employment is terminated by us for Cause (as defined in the New CEO Employment Agreement), Mr. Lisy would be entitled to receive any base salary through the date of termination that remains unpaid as of the date of termination, any accrued and unpaid bonus for any previously completed year that Mr. Lisy is entitled to receive as of the date of termination, and any other Accrued Rights (as defined in the New CEO Employment Agreement).
If Mr. Lisy resigns for retirement (resignation after attainment of age 66 and providing six months’ notice), then outstanding awards granted under the Intermex long term incentive program will continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedule, subject to attainment of any applicable performance goals.
Pursuant to the New CEO Employment Agreement, in the event that any of the payments or benefits provided by Intermex Holdings to Mr. Lisy (whether pursuant to the terms of the New CEO Employment Agreement or any equity compensation or other agreement with Intermex or Intermex Holdings) would constitute “parachute payments” (“Parachute Payments”) within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then such Parachute Payments to be made to Mr. Lisy shall be payable either (1) in full or (2) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such Parachute Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in Mr. Lisy’s receipt on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of economic benefits under the New CEO Employment Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in the Parachute Payment is necessary, then the reduction shall occur in accordance with the terms of the New CEO Employment Agreement.
In the event that Mr. Aguilar is terminated by Intermex other than for Cause, Disability (as defined in the COO Employment Agreement) or death or if Mr. Aguilar resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the COO Employment Agreement), he is entitled to base salary continuation for nine months, a pro-rata portion of his target bonus for the year in which termination occurs (less any bonus amounts already paid for such year) and any other Accrued Rights (as defined in the COO Employment Agreement). In the event Mr. Aguilar’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the COO Employment Agreement), Mr. Aguilar would be entitled to any base salary through the date of termination that remains unpaid as of the date of termination, any accrued and unpaid bonus for any previously completed bonus period that Mr. Aguilar is entitled to receive as of the date of termination, and any other Accrued Rights (as defined in the COO Employment Agreement).
In the event that Mr. Nilsen is terminated by Intermex Holdings other than for Cause, Disability (as defined in the CRO Employment Agreement) or death or if Mr. Nilsen resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the CRO Employment Agreement), he is entitled to base salary continuation for nine months, a pro-rata portion of his target bonus for the year in which termination occurs (less any bonus amounts already paid for such year) and any other Accrued Rights (as defined in the CRO Employment Agreement). In the event Mr. Nilsen’s
27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the CRO Employment Agreement), Mr. Nilsen would be entitled to receive any base salary through the date of termination that remains unpaid as of the date of termination, any accrued and unpaid bonus for any previously completed bonus period that Mr. Nilsen is entitled to receive as of the date of termination, and any other Accrued Rights (as defined in the CRO Employment Agreement).
In addition to the rights described above upon certain terminations, termination of an NEO’s employment due to death or disability will result in accelerated vesting of outstanding awards under the 2018 Plan and the 2020 Plan, although the number of any outstanding PSUs that vest depends on when the termination occurs during the applicable vesting period (either 100% of target or based on attainment of performance goals).
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2018 Plan) of Intermex, the NEO would be entitled to a full vesting of all options outstanding under the 2018 Plan. For options and other equity awards (RSUs or PSUs) granted on or after June 26, 2020, the award will be granted under the 2020 Plan. Although none of the NEOs have an award under the 2020 Plan as of December 31, 2020, awards granted under the standard form of option and RSU award agreements under the 2020 Plan provide that upon a change in control (as defined in the 2020 Plan) of Intermex, all awards will vest for an NEO if (a) the award is not assumed in the change in control and (b) the award is assumed in the change in control but within two years following the change in control the NEO’s employment is terminated without Cause (as defined in the 2020 Plan form of award agreement).
For awards of PSUs under the 2020 Plan standard form, if a change in control (as defined in the 2020 Plan) of Intermex occurs, the PSUs will generally convert into RSUs if the award is assumed in the change in control and the RSUs will continue to vest either based on target or based on attainment of performance goals through the change in control, but the other vesting rules applicable to RSU awards under the 2020 Plan will then apply (either full acceleration of vesting if no assumption of the RSU in the change in control or full acceleration of vesting following a termination without Cause within two years following the change in control). In addition, in the event of a termination without Cause (as defined in the 2020 Plan form of PSU agreement) after the first year of the performance period, a pro rata portion of the PSUs may vest depending upon attainment of performance goals identified in the PSU agreement. Except for the terms of the awards for Mr. Lisy as described above, awards of RSUs and PSUs granted to NEOs in March 2021 each contain the terms set forth in the standard form of RSU and PSU agreement, as applicable.

PROPOSAL TWO

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
General
The Audit Committee has selected BDO USA, LLP as Intermex’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of Intermex for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. BDO USA, LLP has audited Intermex’s financial statements since fiscal year 2017. A representative of BDO USA, LLP is expected to be present at the meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Stockholder ratification of the selection of BDO USA, LLP is not required by our bylaws or other applicable legal requirements. However, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of BDO USA, LLP to Intermex’s stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event that this selection of an independent registered public accounting firm is not ratified by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and voting at the meeting in person or by proxy, the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of Intermex and its stockholders.
Principal Accounting Fees and Services
The following tables present fees for professional audit services rendered by BDO USA, LLP for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and fees billed for the other services rendered during those periods.

Such audit fees also include professional services for comfort letters, consents and reviews of documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(2)
Audit-Related Fees
Audit-related fees primarily include fees, not included in “Audit Fees” above, for assurance and related services traditionally performed by the independent auditor. These services would include, among others, due diligence related to transactions or events, including acquisitions, and attest services related to financial reporting that are not required by statute or regulation.
(3)
Tax Fees
Tax fees would consist of assistance with tax compliance services, preparation of tax returns, tax planning, and providing tax guidance. No such products and services were provided in the relevant periods.
(4)
All Other Fees
All other fees would consist of the aggregate fees billed for products and services other than the services described under audit fees, audit-related fees and tax fees. No such products and services were provided in the relevant periods.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
All of the fees described above were approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the audit fee negotiations associated with the retention of BDO USA, LLP to perform the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy under which the Audit Committee approves in advance all audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditors. As part of its pre-approval policy, the Audit Committee considers whether the provision of
30

any proposed non-audit services is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. If there are any additional services to be provided, a request for pre-approval must be submitted by management to the Audit Committee for its consideration under the policy. Finally, in accordance with the pre-approval policy, the Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to each of its members. Any member who exercises this authority must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next meeting.
Recommendation of the Board
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF BDO USA, LLP AS Intermex’s INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2021.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Review of Related Party Transactions
In accordance with the charter for the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, our Audit Committee reviews and approves in advance any proposed related person transactions. For purposes of these procedures, “related person” and “transaction” have the meanings contained in Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
Our Board has also adopted a written related person transaction policy that sets forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. In accordance with our Related Person Transactions Policy and Procedures, either the Audit Committee or the affirmative vote of a majority of directors who do not have a direct or indirect material interest in such related party transaction must review and approve all transactions in which (i) the Company or one of its subsidiaries is a participant, (ii) the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and (iii) a related person has a direct or indirect material interest, other than transactions available to all employees of the Company generally.
In assessing a related party transaction brought before it for approval, the Audit Committee considers, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. The Audit Committee may then approve or disapprove the transaction in its discretion.
Related Person Transactions
Since the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, there has not been, nor is there, any currently proposed transaction or series of similar transactions to which the Company was or is to be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than as set forth in the sections captioned “Executive Compensation”, “Director Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2020” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”; in the second paragraph under the section captioned “Secondary Offerings” under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020; or as disclosed below. In addition, please see the section captioned “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for descriptions of risks that may arise as a result of these and other such relationships and related person transactions.
Registration Rights
On July 26, 2018, the closing date of the Merger (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with certain of FinTech’s initial stockholders and certain of the Company’s legacy stockholders, including entities affiliated with Messrs. Godfrey, Wender, Rincon, Lisy and Holstein, our former directors, Messrs. Jahn and Paul, two of our executives, Messrs. Lisy, and Nilsen, and two of our former executives, Messrs. Azcarate and Perez-Villareal, that provides certain registration rights with respect to the shares of the Company’s common stock. The Registration Rights Agreement requires the Company to, among other things, file a resale shelf registration statement on behalf of the stockholders party to the Registration Rights Agreement as promptly as practicable upon request by Stella Point following the closing of the Merger. Two members of our Board, Messrs. Godfrey and Wender, are Managing Partners of Stella Point. Our former director, Robert Jahn, also serves as a Managing Director of Stella Point. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides the stockholders party to the agreement the right (such right, the “Demand Registration Right”) to require the Company to effect one or more shelf registrations under the Securities Act, covering all or part of such stockholder’s common stock upon written request to the Company. Demand Registration Rights are available exclusively to Stella Point for the first 15 months after the closing of the Merger, and thereafter to certain other stockholders party to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement additionally provides piggyback rights to the stockholders party to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks and issuer blackout periods. The Company also agreed to pay certain fees and expenses relating to registrations under the Registration Rights Agreement.
On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with certain selling stockholders, including entities affiliated with Messrs. Godfrey, Wender, Rincon and Lisy, and several
32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

underwriters relating to the underwritten public offering of 4.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price to the public of $13.50 per share. The closing of the offering occurred on October 5, 2020. Also, on November 4, 2020, the underwriters completed the purchase of 0.7 million additional shares of common stock at the same price as the initial shares under a 30-day option granted by certain of the selling stockholders. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the offering.
Shareholders Agreement
On the Closing Date of the Merger, the Company entered into an agreement by and between certain shareholders (the “Shareholders Agreement”), including entities affiliated with Messrs. Godfrey, Wender and Lisy, two former directors, Messrs. Jahn and Paul, two of our executives, Messrs. Lisy and Nilsen, and two former executives, Messrs. Azcarate and Perez-Villareal. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, for so long as the Company’s legacy stockholders party thereto hold, in the aggregate, at least 10% of the total outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, SPC Intermex will be entitled to designate eight individuals for election to the Company’s Board of Directors of which at least three designees must qualify as an “independent director” under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq rules. Following such times as the collective ownership of such legacy stockholders is less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, SPC Intermex will be entitled to designate one person for election to the Company’s Board of Directors, which designation right will lapse at such time as the Company’s legacy stockholders’ collective ownership is less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, all of the stockholders party thereto are required to vote their shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the Shareholders Agreement as set forth therein for the director nominees designated thereunder; however, on October 5, 2020, the Company, FinTech Investor Holdings II and SPC Intermex Representative LLC entered into a Waiver to the Shareholders Agreement, pursuant to which the obligation of each party to the Shareholders Agreement (other than SPC Intermex LP) to vote to elect and/or maintain in office as members of the Company’s board of directors the individuals nominated by SPC Intermex Representative LLC was irrevocably and permanently waived. In addition, for so long as FinTech’s initial stockholders that are party to the Shareholders Agreement collectively own more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, FinTech Investor Holdings II, LLC, as representative, is entitled to designate one person as a non-voting observer to the Company’s Board of Directors. See “Risk Factors - Because Stella Point controls a significant percentage of our common stock, it may influence our major corporate decisions and its interests may conflict with the interests of other holders of our common stock” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information.
