Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

~~September~~December 3031, 2021

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Bottomline Technologies, Inc. (referred to below as we, us, our or Bottomline) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2021.

Note 2—~~Recent~~Pending ~~Accounting Pronouncements~~Merger

On December 16, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time, the Merger Agreement), with Bottomline Intermediate Holdings III, LLC (formerly known as Project RB Parent, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (Parent), and Project RB Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Merger Sub). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Thoma Bravo Fund XV, L.P. (the Thoma Bravo Fund), a private equity fund managed by Thoma Bravo, L.P. (Thoma Bravo). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Bottomline (the Merger), and we will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding share of our common stock (other than shares owned by (1) Parent or Merger Sub; (2) any subsidiary of ours; and (3) stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) will be converted into the right to receive $57.00 per share, less any applicable withholding taxes without interest (the Per Share Merger Consideration). All shares converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled at the Effective Time of the Merger and the holders of such shares will cease to have any rights thereto, except for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

In connection with the Merger, on December 16, 2021, Parent entered into an equity commitment letter with the Thoma Bravo Fund (the Equity Commitment Letter), pursuant to which the Thoma Bravo Fund has committed to purchase, or cause the purchase of, an amount of equity securities of Parent at or immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger equal to the estimated amount of aggregate consideration that will be due and payable at closing. The Equity Commitment Letter provides, among other things, that we are an express third party beneficiary thereof in connection with our exercise of the rights related to specific performance under the Merger Agreement. The Equity Commitment Letter may not be amended, revoked, modified or terminated, and no provision thereunder may be waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by Parent, us and the Thoma Bravo Fund.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, the absence of certain legal impediments, no Company Material Adverse Effect having occurred since the signing of the Merger Agreement, the expiration or termination of the required waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act), approval of the change in control over Bottomline Payment Services Limited by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom (the FCA), and approval by Bottomline’s stockholders. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition. We and Parent made the necessary filings with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice on December 30, 2021, and Parent submitted a change in control application with the FCA on January 20, 2022. The required waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on January 31, 2022.

We have made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and have agreed to customary covenants regarding the operation of our business prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. We are also subject to customary restrictions on the ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide non-public information to, and participate in discussions and engage in negotiations with, third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals, with customary exceptions to allow our Board of Directors to exercise its fiduciary duties.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for us and Parent. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, we will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $78 million. Such circumstances include where the Merger Agreement is terminated in connection with our acceptance of a Superior Proposal or due to our Board of Directors changing or withdrawing its recommendation of the Merger. This termination fee will also be payable if the Merger Agreement is terminated because our stockholders did not vote to adopt the Merger Agreement, the Merger is not consummated before December 16, 2022, or we breach our representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would cause the related closing conditions to not be met, and prior to any such termination, a proposal to acquire at least 50% of our stock or assets is publicly known or announced and we enter into an agreement for a transaction contemplated by such proposal within one year of termination and such transaction is subsequently consummated. In addition, we will be required to reimburse Parent for up to $5 million of its expenses associated with the transaction if the Merger Agreement is terminated because our stockholders did not vote to adopt the Merger Agreement, the Merger is not consummated before December 16, 2022, or we breach our representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would cause the

related closing conditions to not be met, in each case where the termination fee is not then payable but could potentially become payable in the future under certain circumstances.

Note 3—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted

Interest Rate Reform: In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard update to address financial reporting related to the transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to alternative reference rates. The standard provides optional expedients and exceptions to existing guidance for the accounting of contracts and hedging relationship modified as a result of reference rate reform. We may elect to apply the standard prospectively to contracts modified on or before December 31, 2022. We ~~are~~do ~~currently~~not ~~evaluating~~expect the ~~impact the~~ adoption of this standard ~~will~~to have a material impact on our financial statements.

~~Note~~Accounting ~~3—Revenue~~Pronouncements ~~Recognition~~Adopted

Business Combinations - Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities: In October 2021 the FASB issued an accounting standard update requiring contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Per the update, at the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASC 606, as if it had originated the contracts. The update is effective for us on July 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 4—Revenue Recognition

Remaining Performance Obligations

The transaction price we allocate to remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 represents contracted revenue that will be recognized in future periods. Our future performance obligations consist primarily of SaaS / stand-ready performance obligations relating to future periods, contracted but uncompleted professional services obligations and support and maintenance obligations. During the three and six months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 and 2020, the amount of revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not significant.

The transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations was $~~461~~ 424 million as of ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 of which we expect to recognize approximately $~~194~~165.21 million over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. The timing of the amounts we estimate recognizing in revenue is based primarily on the estimated go-live dates of our ~~hosted~~SaaS arrangements, or the date the customer has been provided access to the solution. These estimated dates can change for a variety of reasons and the timing of our recognition of revenue is affected by these changes. Once the implementation services for our ~~hosted~~SaaS solutions have concluded, we generally anticipate that the amount of revenue that will be recognized after the next twelve months will be recognized in a relatively consistent amount over the following two to five year periods. We exclude from our measure of remaining performance obligations amounts related to future transactional or usage-based fees for which the value of services transferred to the customer will correspond to the amount we will invoice for those services.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The table below presents our contract assets and deferred revenue balances as of ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

(1314,~~903~~637)

Contract assets arise when we recognize revenue in excess of amounts billed to the customer and the right to payment is contingent on conditions other than simply the passage of time, such as the future completion of a related performance obligation. Contract assets are classified in our consolidated balance sheets as other current assets for those contract assets with recognition periods of one year or less and other assets for contract assets with recognition periods greater than one year. We assess outstanding accounts receivable and contract assets for credit loss on an ongoing basis. In estimating credit losses, we pool accounts with similar risk characteristics. Accounts that do not share the same risk characteristics are assessed for credit loss on an individual basis. The allowance for credit losses is based on historical loss data, customer specific information and current market conditions. Historically, our bad debt expense has not been significant.

7Deferred revenue consists of billings or customer payments in excess of amounts recognized as revenue. The decrease in deferred revenue at December 31, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2021 reflects our recognition of revenue from maintenance contracts, a significant portion of which are billed on a calendar year basis.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $46.6 million and $40.3 million, respectively, in revenue from amounts that were included in deferred revenue as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 4—Fair Value

Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

We measure fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (the inputs) are based on a tiered fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels, as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or for similar markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which require us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.

Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain.

At ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 and June 30, 2021, our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We have certain financial instruments which consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash held for customers, marketable securities, accounts receivable, contract assets, equity securities, accounts payable, customer account liabilities, certain derivative instruments, assets related to deposits made to fund future requirements associated with Israeli severance arrangements and debt drawn on our Credit Facility (as defined in Note 1112). Fair value information for each of these instruments is as follows:

• Cash and cash equivalents, cash held for customers, accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable and customer account liabilities fair values approximate their carrying values, due to the expected duration of these instruments.

• Marketable securities classified as held to maturity, all of which mature within one year, are recorded at amortized cost, which at ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 and June 30, 2021, approximated fair value.

810

Table of Contents

• Marketable debt securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity, net of tax. We use the specific identification method to determine any realized gains or losses from the sale of our marketable debt securities classified as available for sale. We assess securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value for credit loss. As of ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the unrealized losses associated with available for sale securities were not material. No credit loss has been recorded as we do not intend to sell the investments prior to recovering their amortized costs basis.

• The fair value of our interest rate swaps are based on the present value of projected cash flows that will occur over the life of the instruments, after considering certain contractual terms and counterparty credit risk.

• We hold certain other investments accounted for at fair value. The ~~fair value of these investments was $2.0 million at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The~~ estimated fair value ~~for approximately $1.1 million~~ of these investments, which are in a private equity fund, are Level 3 measurements as they rely on significant unobservable inputs and, depending on the specific nature of the investment, consider such factors as pricing models that consider a comparative analysis of acquisitions and pricing multiples from market participants as well as discounted cash flow analyses. We also have investments for which there is no readily determinable fair value. The carrying value of these investments was $12.0 million at ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and are reported as a component of other assets. Investments for which we cannot readily determine fair value are recorded at cost, less impairment (if any), plus or minus adjustments for observable price changes.

• We have borrowings of $130 million against our Credit Facility. The fair value of these borrowings, which are classified as Level 2, approximates their carrying value at ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 as the instrument carries a variable rate of interest which reflects current market rates.

Note 56—Business and Asset Acquisitions

Current Year Acquisitions

Bora Payment Systems, LLC

In October 2021 we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Bora Payment Systems, LLC (Bora), a provider of electronic payment solutions for businesses, for a purchase price of $15 million in cash.

We are still obtaining fair value estimates for the intangible assets acquired. In the preliminary allocation of the purchase price at December 31, 2021, we recorded $8.1 million of goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes and arose principally due to the anticipated future benefits arising from the acquisition. Identifiable intangible assets of $6.9 million, consisting of customer and technology related assets, are being amortized on a weighted average estimated useful life of 11 years.

Through the Bora acquisition we acquired technology that will be used predominantly in our Paymode-X solution to facilitate straight through processing of payments made via virtual card. This provides a significant benefit to suppliers who process a high volume of business to business virtual card transactions. The operating results of Bora will be included as a component of our Payments Platform segment from the acquisition date forward. Bora's operating results did not have a material impact on our revenue or net loss. Acquisition related costs were recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses and were not material.

Prior Year Acquisitions

TreasuryXpress

OnIn January 2021 we acquired French-headquartered TreasuryXpress Holding SAS (TX) for a total purchase price of $31.9 million in cash. Additionally, we issued 66,403 shares of our common stock to certain selling stockholders of TX with vesting conditions tied to continued employment with us. These shares are compensatory and we will record share-based payment expense over their vesting period of five years.

~~The~~We ~~allocation~~recorded $20.4 million of ~~the~~goodwill ~~purchase~~and ~~price~~$17.3 million ~~remains~~of ~~preliminary,~~identifiable ~~as we are still obtaining fair value estimates for the~~ intangible assets ~~acquired.~~in Asconnection ~~of September 30,~~with ~~2021,~~the ~~we have recorded $20~~acquisition.~~3 million~~ ~~of goodwill.~~ The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and arose principally due to the anticipated future benefits arising from the acquisition. Identifiable intangible assets, ~~of $17.3 million~~ consisting of acquired technology, customer related assets and a trade name, are being amortized over a weighted average estimated useful life of 10 years.

Our acquisition of TX, a leading provider of cloud-based treasury management solutions for corporations and banks around the world, extended our geographic presence in France, the United States and the Middle-East. The operating results of TX are an immaterial component of our Payment Platforms operating segment. TX operating results did not have a material impact on our revenue or net loss, and acquisition related costs of approximately $1.7 million were recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses.

AnaSys AG

In July 2020 we acquired Switzerland-based AnaSys AG (AnaSys) for a total purchase price of $13.9 million. The purchase price consisted of a cash payment of 5.2 million Swiss Francs (approximately $5.7 million based on the foreign exchange rate in effect at the acquisition date) and 166,393 shares of our common stock valued at $8.2 million on the closing date of the transaction. Additionally, we issued 28,000 shares of our common stock to certain selling stockholders of AnaSys with vesting conditions tied to continued employment with us. These shares are compensatory and we are recording share-based payment expense over their vesting period of five years.

InWe ~~allocation of the purchase price, we~~ recorded $10.7 million of goodwill, $6.3 million of identifiable intangible assets and a $2.8 million post retirement liability in connection with the acquisition. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes and arose principally due to the anticipated future benefits arising from the acquisition. Identifiable intangible assets, consisting of customer and technology related assets, are being amortized over a weighted average estimated useful life of 13 years.

Our acquisition of AnaSys, a provider of financial messaging solutions, extended our geographic presence in Switzerland and Germany and expanded our customer base. The operating results of AnaSys are a component of our Banking Solutions segment. AnaSys operating results did not have a material impact on our revenue or net loss, and acquisition related costs of approximately $0.3 million were recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses.

FMR Systems, Inc.

In July 2020, we acquired customer assets and intellectual property from FMR Systems, Inc (FMR), a small corporate and commercial onboarding software provider, for an up-front cash payment of $2.0 million and deferred cash payments of $0.3 million. ~~We will leverage FMR's technology to build a next generation commercial onboarding product.~~

InWe ~~the allocation of the purchase price we~~ recorded $1.0 million of goodwill in connection with the acquisition. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes and arose principally due to the anticipated future benefits arising from the acquisition.

Note 78—Operations by Segments and Geographic Areas

Segment Information

Operating segments are the components of our business for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer. Our operating segments are generally organized by the type of product or service offered and by geography.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021 we realigned our internal financial reporting to provide for more specific visibility into key product lines, which resulted in a change to our externally reportable segments. Specifically, our prior Cloud Solutions segment was renamed Payment Platforms and includes the revenue and operating results of our Paymode-X and PTX payment platforms. Our Legal Spend Management Solutions have been presented as a stand-alone operating segment, having previously been a component of our Cloud Solutions segment. Finally, our Financial Messaging solutions, previously a component of our Cloud Solutions segment, has been included as a component of our Banking Solutions segment. Our prior Payments and Documents segment has been renamed to Traditional Solutions, with no change to the composition of the revenue and operating activity included in this segment. These changes are reflected for all financial periods presented.

Similar operating segments have been aggregated into the following five reportable segments:

Payment Platforms. Our Payment Platforms segment includes our Paymode-X and PTX solutions, our largest and fastest growing payment platforms. These solutions are SaaS technology offerings through which businesses can streamline the invoice-to-pay process, automate workflows, accelerate approvals and enhance efficiency and security. Each solution supports a variety of payment options including virtual card, ACH, check, wire and others. These solutions are highly scalable, easy to implement, secure and cost effective. Revenue within this segment is generally recognized on a subscription or transaction basis.

Banking Solutions. Our Banking Solutions segment provides solutions that are specifically designed for banking and financial institution customers. Our Banking Solutions products are sold predominantly on a hosted basis, with revenue recognized on a subscription or transaction basis.

Legal Spend Management. Our legal spend management solutions enable customers to create more efficient processes for managing invoices generated by outside law firms while offering insight into important legal spend factors such as expense monitoring and outside counsel performance. Revenue within this segment is generally recognized on a subscription or transaction basis.

Traditional Solutions. Our Traditional Solutions segment supplies financial business process management software solutions, including making and collecting payments, sending and receiving invoices, and generating and storing business documents. When licensed for on-premise deployment, software license revenue is typically recorded upon delivery of the software and commencement of the license term. If the solution is hosted by us, we typically record revenue over time. Professional services revenue is normally recorded as we perform the work and software support and maintenance revenue is recorded ratably over the support period.

Other. Our Other segment consists of our fraud and financial crime solutions and our healthcare solutions. The Other segment loss reported below is attributable to the operating results of our fraud and financial crime solutions, which reflects the revenue contribution from a legacy sales channel we acquired and the burden of certain other centralized costs; however, our fraud solutions are sold by several of our operating segments. Our healthcare solutions focus on eliminating paper intensive processes and providing electronic signature and mobile document capabilities to allow healthcare organizations to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Software revenue for perpetual licenses of our fraud and financial crime and healthcare products is typically recorded upon delivery of the software and commencement of the license term. Professional services revenue is recorded as we perform the work and software support and maintenance revenue is recorded ratably over the support period which is normally twelve months.

Periodically, a sales person in one operating segment will sell products and services that are typically sold within a different operating segment. In such cases, the transaction is generally recorded by the operating segment to which the sales person is assigned. Accordingly, segment results can include the results of transactions that have been allocated to a specific segment based on the contributing sales resources, rather than the nature of the product or service. Conversely, a transaction can be recorded by the operating segment primarily responsible for delivery to the customer, even if the sales person is assigned to a different operating segment.

Our chief operating decision maker assesses segment performance based on a variety of factors that normally include segment revenue and a segment measure of profit or loss. Each segment’s measure of profit or loss is on a pre-tax basis and excludes certain items as presented in our reconciliation of the measure of total segment profit to GAAP income (loss) before income taxes that follows. There are no inter-segment sales; accordingly, the measure of segment revenue and profit or loss reflects only revenues from external customers. The costs of certain corporate level expenses, primarily general and administrative expenses, are allocated to our operating segments based on a percentage of the segment’s revenues.

We do not track or assign our assets by operating segment.

For the ~~quarter~~three ~~ended~~and ~~September~~six 30months ended December 31, 2021, we derived 84% of our revenue from subscription-based arrangements. The majority of our non-subscription revenue is derived from software support and maintenance fees and from professional services, with the largest concentration of this revenue being derived from our legacy business payments and documents products in our Traditional Solutions segment.

Geographic Information

We have presented geographic information about our revenues below. This presentation allocates revenue based on the point of sale, not the location of the customer. Accordingly, we derive revenues from geographic locations based on the location of the customer that would vary from the geographic areas listed here.

Note 89—Income Taxes

The income tax expense we record in any interim period is based on our estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year for those tax jurisdictions in which we can reliably estimate that rate. The calculation of our estimated effective tax rate requires an estimate of pre-tax income by tax jurisdiction as well as total tax expense for the fiscal year. Accordingly, our annual estimated effective tax rate is subject to adjustment if there are changes to our initial estimates of total tax expense or pre-tax income, including the mix of income by jurisdiction. For those tax jurisdictions for which we are unable to reliably estimate an overall effective tax rate, we calculate income tax expense based upon the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date period.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax ~~benefit~~provision of $25.87 million and ~~income tax expense of~~ $1.83 million for the three months ended ~~September 30~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In the three months ended ~~September 30~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, the income tax ~~benefit~~provision was primarily attributable to our U.S. ~~operations~~, ~~partially offset by tax expense attributable to our~~ United Kingdom (UK) and Switzerland operations. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, the income tax expense was attributable to our U.S., UK and Switzerland operations and a discrete tax expense of $0.7 million as a result of tax legislation enacted in the UK that increased the UK statutory tax rate from 17 percent to 19 percent.

We recorded an income tax provision of $2.9 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In the six months ended December 31, 2021, the income tax provision was primarily attributable to our U.S., UK and Switzerland operations. In the six months ended December 31, 2020, the income tax provision was driven by a tax benefit recorded against operating losses in the U.S. offset by tax expense recorded against operating income generated in our UK and Switzerland operations. In addition, in the six months ended December 31, 2020, we recorded discrete tax expense of $0.7 million as a result of tax legislation enacted in the UK that increased the statutory UK tax rate from 17 percent to 19 percent, which required us to re-value our net UK deferred tax liability balance to reflect this higher rate.

We currently anticipate that our unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next twelve months by approximately $0.9 million as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations associated with intercompany transactions subject to tax in multiple jurisdictions.

We record a deferred tax asset if we believe that it is more likely than not that we will realize a future tax benefit. Ultimate realization of any deferred tax asset is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in the appropriate tax jurisdiction before the expiration of carryforward periods, if any. Our assessment of deferred tax asset recoverability considers many different factors including historical and projected operating results, the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities that provide a source of future taxable income, the impact of current tax planning strategies and the availability of future tax planning strategies. We establish a valuation allowance against any deferred tax asset for which we are unable to conclude that recoverability is more likely than not.

At ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, we had a total valuation allowance of $4245.2 3 million against our deferred tax assets given the uncertainty of recoverability of these amounts.

Note 910—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Acquired intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value and tested periodically for impairment. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination and is tested at least annually for impairment. We perform an impairment test of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or sooner, if indicators of potential impairment arise.

At ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, the carrying value of goodwill for all of our reporting units was $~~242~~252.91 million.

The following tables set forth the information for intangible assets subject to amortization and for intangible assets not subject to amortization.

Each period, for capitalized software development costs, we evaluate whether amortization expense using a ratio of revenue in the period to total expected revenue over the product’s expected useful life would result in greater amortization than as calculated under a straight-line methodology and, if that were to occur, amortization in that period would be accelerated accordingly.

Note 1011—Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

We determine if any arrangement is, or contains, a lease at its inception based on whether or not we have the right to control the asset during the contract period. We are a lessee in any lease contract when we obtain the right to control the asset.

We determine the lease term by assuming the exercise of options that are reasonably certain. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not reflected in our balance sheet and those lease costs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective term. Leases with a term greater than 12 months are reflected as non-current right-of-use (ROU) assets and current and non-current lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Current lease liabilities are classified as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

As the implicit interest rate in our leases is generally not known, we use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for purposes of determining the present value of our lease liabilities. Our determination of the incremental borrowing rate takes into consideration the expected term of the lease, the effect of the currency in which the lease is denominated and the rate of interest we would expect to incur on a collateralized debt instrument. At ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, our weighted average discount rate utilized for our leases was 6.01%

When our contracts contain lease and non-lease elements, we account for both as a single lease component.

We lease office space in cities worldwide under facility leases that expire at various dates. We are typically required to pay certain incremental operating costs above the base rent for our facility leases. Our leases may include periodic payment adjustments based on changes in applicable price indexes. To the extent the adjustment is considered a fixed payment it is included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability, otherwise it is recognized in the period incurred. We also have a variety of data center locations and, to a lesser extent, vehicle and equipment leases. Our facility leases represent the substantial majority of our operating leases and often include renewal options that we can exercise unilaterally. At ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, renewal options ranged from 3 months to 10 years.

At ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, our operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 8.41 years and we had no material finance leases.

Legal Matters

WeOn ~~are~~January 19, ~~from~~2022, ~~time~~a topurported ~~time,~~stockholder of Bottomline filed a ~~party~~lawsuit toin ~~legal~~the ~~proceedings~~United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against us and ~~claims~~our ~~that~~directors, ~~arise~~captioned ~~out~~Shiva Stein v. Bottomline Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00481 (the Stein Complaint). On January 21, 2022, a purported stockholder of Bottomline filed a lawsuit in the ~~ordinary~~United ~~course~~States District Court for the Southern District of New York against us and our ~~business~~directors, captioned Jeffrey D.

Bottomline Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00670 (the Le Complaint).

~~Note~~All ~~11—Indebtedness~~of the complaints allege that the preliminary proxy statement issued in connection with the Merger omits material information or contains misleading disclosures and that, as a result, (i) all of the defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) and (ii) all of our directors violated section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Le Complaint also alleges that our directors breached their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and good faith by, among other things, causing us to enter into the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as a result of an inadequate sale process, agreeing to preclusive deal mechanisms and filing a materially misleading and incomplete preliminary proxy statement. The Le Complaint also alleges that we aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duties.

All of the complaints seek, among other things, (i) injunctive relief preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (ii) rescission or rescissory damages in the event the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have been implemented; (iii) dissemination of a proxy statement that does not omit material information or contain any misleading disclosures; (iv) a declaration that defendants violated Sections 14(a) and/or 20(a) of the Exchange Act (except the Stein Complaint and the Le Complaint) or that our directors violated their fiduciary duties (except the Stein Complaint and the Justice Complaint); (v) to direct the defendants to account to plaintiff for all damages suffered (except the Justice Complaint); and (vi) an award of plaintiff’s expenses, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

In addition, a purported stockholder of Bottomline has made a demand pursuant to Section 220 of the DGCL to inspect certain books and records of ours relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

We believe the claims asserted in each of the complaints are without merit. However, given the inherently unpredictable nature of litigation, we are unable to predict the possible range of outcomes of these complaints.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against us, our Board of Directors, Parent and/or Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

We are, from time to time, a party to other legal proceedings and claims that arise out of the ordinary course of our business.

Credit Agreement

We are party to a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and certain other lenders (the Credit Agreement) that provides for a revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $300 million (the Credit Facility) and that expires in July 2023. We have the right to request an increase of the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility by up to an additional $150 million, subject to specified conditions. At ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, we owed $130.0 million under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for lawful corporate purposes of Bottomline and its subsidiaries, including acquisitions, share repurchases, capital expenditures, the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness and general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility is available for the issuance of up to $20 million of letters of credit and up to $20 million of swing line loans.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, but not limited to, material adverse events, specified restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, sales of assets, dividends and other restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates. We are required to comply with (a) a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00; and (b) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default and related cure provisions. As of ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants.

The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by us (as borrower) and certain of our existing and future domestic material restricted subsidiaries (the Guarantors) and is secured by substantially all of our domestic assets and those of the Guarantors, including a pledge of all the shares of capital stock of the Guarantors and 65% of the shares of the capital stock of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries or those of any Guarantor, in each case subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The collateral does not include, among other things, any real property or the capital stock or any assets of any unrestricted subsidiary.

~~Note 14—Subsequent Events~~22

In October 2021 we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Bora Payment Systems, LLC (Bora) for a purchase price of $15 million in cash. Through the Bora acquisition we acquired technology that will be used predominantly in our Paymode-X solution to facilitate straight through processing of payments made via virtual card. This provides a significant benefit to suppliers who process a high volume of business to business virtual card transactions. The operating results of Bora will be included as a component of our Payments Platform segment from the acquisition date forward. We anticipate that the substantial majority of the purchase price will be allocated to intangible assets including acquired technology, customer contracts and goodwill.

Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, as filed with the SEC on August 30 2021.

In the management discussion that follows, we have highlighted those changes and operating events that were the primary factors affecting period to period fluctuations. The remainder of the change in period to period fluctuations from that which is specifically discussed arises from various individually insignificant items.

Pending Merger

On December 16, 2021, we entered into a Merger Agreement (See Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) to be acquired by the private equity investment firm Thoma Bravo for $57.00 in cash per outstanding common share. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, the absence of certain legal impediments and approval by our stockholders.

Financial Highlights

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, our revenue increased to $~~123~~252.6 4 million from $~~112~~228.4 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Our revenue for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 was favorably impacted by $2.04 million due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates primarily related to the British Pound Sterling, which appreciated against the U.S. Dollar as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The overall revenue increase was attributable to revenue increases in our Payment Platforms, Banking Solutions and Legal ~~Segment~~Spend Management segments of $816.49 million, $28.52 million, and $12.5 1 million, respectively, partially offset by a $1.2 .7 million revenue decrease in our Traditional Solutions segment. The increase in revenue in our Payment Platforms and Legal Spend Management segments was driven by increased subscription revenue driven by increased transactional volumes and the impact of new customers using these solutions. The increased revenue in our Banking Solutions segment was primarily due to new customer engagements and platform go-lives, as customers ~~continued~~continue to ~~deploy~~transition to our hosted solutions. The decrease in revenue in our Traditional Solutions segment was due to decreased professional services, maintenance revenue and software revenue, as customers transitioned to our hosted and subscription based solutions.

We incurred a net loss of $421.95 million in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 compared to net ~~income~~loss of $0.4.2 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Our net loss for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, was ~~favorably~~driven ~~impacted~~ by ~~gross~~an ~~profit~~increase ~~expansion~~in costs of subscription revenue of $516.53 million ~~and~~attributable ato ~~reduction~~our inPayment ~~our~~Platform, ~~provision~~Banking ~~for~~Solutions ~~income~~and ~~taxes~~Legal Spend Management segments and operating expenses of $428.62 million,. ~~offset~~The ~~by an~~ increase in operating expenses ofwas ~~$15.2~~driven ~~million.~~ by an increase in sales and

In the three months ended September 30, 2021, we derived approximately 39% of our revenue from customers located outside of North America, principally in the United Kingdom (UK), continental Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.23

On an increasing basis, we continue to make strategic investments in innovative new technology offerings that we believe will enhance our competitive position, help us win new business, drive subscription revenue growth and expand our operating margins. We expect to continue to make investments in our suite of products so that we can continue to offer innovative, feature-rich technology solutions to our customers.

marketing costs of $13.5 million and product development and engineering costs of $5.5 million, as we continued to invest in our sales channel and new product innovation. General and administrative costs increased by $9.0 million, of which $5.3 million was related to our pending Merger and shareholder engagement initiatives. The increase in costs were partially offset by the $24.0 million revenue increase discussed above and a $2.8 million reduction in cost of professional services and maintenance revenues.

In the six months ended December 31, 2021, we derived approximately 39% of our revenue from customers located outside of North America, principally in the United Kingdom (UK), continental Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

COVID-19

The United States and the global communities in which we operate continue to face challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, restrictions have been re-implemented by government bodies and private businesses as disease variants became more prevalent., ~~Like~~most ~~many~~recently ~~companies we have been encouraged by~~ the ~~increased~~omicron ~~availability~~variant. ofThere ~~vaccines, however there~~ remains significant uncertainty over the duration of the pandemic itself;, particularly as the virus continues to evolve. Since March 2020 we have continued to suspend virtually all travel for employees, our offices generally remain closed and our employees have continued to work remotely in most geographies.

While we continue to operate effectively during this challenging period, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the global economy remains uncertain. The ultimate consequences will depend on many factors outside of our control, including the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and therapeutics and the ultimate duration and severity of the pandemic itself; including the impact of the ~~emerging~~ COVID variants that have emerged or that may emerge in the future.

Certain of our transactional revenue streams, specifically those arising through Paymode-X and Legal Spend Management, were the most significantly impacted during the prior fiscal year. We have continued to observe that transaction volumes for Paymode-X have continued to return to more normalized levels. Legal Spend Management transaction volumes remained constrained during the prior fiscal year but we saw some modest improvement during the fourth quarter of the past fiscal year and we recorded a revenue increase in Legal Spend Management for the ~~quarter~~three and six month periods ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 as compared to ~~September~~December 3031, 2020. We are encouraged by these trends and are hopeful that it supports a conclusion that a sustained recovery of volumes is underway.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as critical because they involve areas of financial reporting that require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate and different estimates - which also would have been reasonable - could have been used.

The critical accounting policies and estimates we identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 related to revenue recognition, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of acquired deferred revenue, capitalized software costs and income taxes. There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates from those we disclosed in Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, as filed with the SEC on August 30, 2021.

It is important that the discussion of our operating results that follows be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Part II. Item 7.

Segment Information

Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021 we realigned our internal financial reporting to provide for more specific visibility into key product lines which resulted in a change to our externally reportable segments. Specifically, our prior Cloud Solutions segment was renamed Payment Platforms and includes the revenue and operating results of our Paymode-X and PTX payment platforms. Our Legal Spend Management Solutions have been presented as a stand-alone operating segment, having previously been a component of our Cloud Solutions segment. Finally, our Financial Messaging solutions, previously a component of our Cloud Solutions segment, has been included as a component of our Banking Solutions segment. Our prior Payments and Documents segment has been renamed to Traditional Solutions, with no change to the composition of the revenue and operating activity included in this segment. These changes are reflected for all financial periods presented. 24

The increase in subscriptions revenue was primarily related to our existing customer base expanding on or converting to our newer, more technologically advanced SaaS platforms and as a result of our continued deployment of our newer banking solutions to new and existing customers. The increase in revenue described above was offset by increased cost of revenues of $3.2 million, primarily related to subscription costs, and operating expenses of $2.7 million. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

by decreased professional service and maintenance revenue of $0.5 million. The increase in subscriptions revenue was primarily related to our existing customer base expanding on or converting to our more technologically advanced SaaS platforms and as a result of our continued deployment of our newer banking solutions to new and existing customers. The decrease in professional services revenue was primarily driven by our business strategy, which remains focused on a subscription revenue model rather than one-time license events, which frequently require distinct professional services. The increase in revenue described above was offset by increased cost of revenues of $2.2 million, primarily related to subscription costs, and operating expenses of $3.7 million. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased sales and marketing expenses and product development expenses of $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $85.14 million in the three months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2020, primarily due to an increase in employee related costs of $64.30 million, ~~and~~ marketing expense of $0.95 million. ~~We expect sales~~ and ~~marketing~~travel ~~expenses~~costs ~~as a percentage~~ of ~~total~~$0.3 ~~revenues will increase slightly in fiscal year 2022~~million.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $13.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in employee related costs of $10.4 million, marketing expense of $1.4 million and travel costs of $0.4 million.

Product Development and Engineering

Product development and engineering expenses consist primarily of personnel costs to support product development, which consists of enhancements and revisions to our products as well as initiatives related to new product development. Product development and engineering expenses increased $32.06 million in the three months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2020, primarily due to an increase in headcount related costs of $2.51 million. ~~We expect product development and engineering expenses as a percentage of total revenues will remain relatively consistent in fiscal year 2022.~~

Product development and engineering expenses increased $5.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in headcount related costs of $4.6 million.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for operations and finance employees and legal and accounting services. General and administrative expenses increased $45.10 million in the three months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2020, primarily due to anMerger ~~increase in employee~~ related costs ofand ~~$2.7~~costs ~~million,~~associated ~~depreciation~~with ~~expense~~shareholder ofengagement ~~$0.4~~initiatives ~~million, restructuring expense~~ of $04.3 million and, ~~facility~~to ~~costs of $0.2 million.

The slight decrease in interest expense in the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, is a result of a decrease in borrowings under our line of credit arrangement during the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2020.

The slight decrease in interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 is a result of a decrease in borrowings under our line of credit arrangement during the three month period ending September 2021 as compared to September 2020.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded income tax ~~benefit~~provision of $25.87 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We recorded income tax ~~expense~~provision of $12.89 million and $3.0 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Please refer to Note 89 Income Taxes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are party to a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and certain other lenders that provides for a credit facility in the amount of up to $300 million (the Credit Facility). We have the right to request an increase to the aggregate commitments to the Credit Facility of up to an additional $150 million, subject to specified conditions. The Credit Facility expires in July 2023. At ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, borrowings were $130 million and we were in compliance with all covenants.

We have financed our operations primarily from cash provided by operating activities, the sale of our common stock and debt proceeds. We have consistently generated positive operating cash flows. We believe that the cash generated from our operations and the cash and cash equivalents we have on hand will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for the foreseeable future. If our existing cash resources along with cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our operating requirements, we may need to sell additional equity or debt securities or seek other financing arrangements.

One of our financial goals is to maintain and improve our capital structure. The key metrics we focus on in assessing the strength of our liquidity for the periods ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 and June 30, 2021 and a summary of our cash activity for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021 and 2020 are summarized in the tables below:

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. At September 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents of $117.2 million consisted primarily of cash deposits held at major banks and money market funds. The $16.7 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021 from June 30, 2021 was primarily due to cash used to repurchase common stock of $20.8 million, to fund capital expenditures, including capitalization of software costs of $3.1 million, and the negative effect of foreign exchange rates on cash of $4.4 million, partially offset by an increase in cash generated from operations of $2.3 million, a decrease in cash used in business and asset acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $9.8 million, a decrease in funds used to issue notes receivable of $1.6 million and the purchase of available for sale securities of $2.0 million.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities included approximately $35.9 million held by our foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2021. We continue to permanently reinvest the earnings, if any, of our international subsidiaries other than the UK, Switzerland, India and one of our Australian subsidiaries; therefore we do not provide for U.S. income taxes that could result from the distribution of foreign earnings from our international subsidiaries other than the aforementioned. If our reinvestment plans were to change based on future events and we decided to repatriate amounts from other international subsidiaries, those amounts would generally become subject to state tax in the U.S. to the extent there were cumulative profits in the foreign subsidiary from which the distribution to the U.S. was made and we could be further subject to withholding tax.

Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars. Decreases primarily in the foreign currency exchange rate of the British Pound Sterling to the U.S. Dollar decreased our overall cash balances by

Table of Contents

approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Further changes in the foreign currency exchange rates of the British Pound Sterling and other currencies could have a significant effect on our overall cash balances, however, we continue to believe that our existing cash balances, even in light of the foreign currency volatility we frequently experience, are adequate to meet our operating requirements for the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities. Operating cash flow is derived by adjusting our net income or loss for non-cash operating items, such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation plan expense, deferred income tax benefits or expenses and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which reflect timing differences between the receipt and payment of cash associated with transactions and when they are recognized in our results of operations. Cash generated from operations increased by $4.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to an increase in cash provided by accrued expenses of $9.0 million, prepaid and current assets of $1.4 million and other assets of $3.2 million, partially offset by the increase in our net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2021 of $17.3 million.

Investing Activities. Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized software costs, investment purchases and sales, and cash used for the acquisition of businesses and assets. The $6.9 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was primarily due to a decrease in cash used to fund notes receivable of $2.6 million, a decrease in cash used to purchase available for sale securities of $7.3 million and other investments of $7.1 million, partially offset by an increase in cash used to fund business and asset acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $5.2 million and capital expenditures of $5.1 million.

Financing Activities. Financing cash flows consist primarily of cash inflows as a result of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock through employee equity incentive plans, offset by repurchases of our common stock. The decrease in cash used in financing activities of $10.9 million was due to a decrease in cash used to repay debt of $50.0 million, offset by an increase in cash used to repurchase common stock of $39.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021.

Contractual Obligations

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~December 3031, 2021, we entered into a new facility ~~lease~~leases in India and renewed leases for data centers in the UK and Switzerland, increasing our contractual obligations by $25.71 million. Other than ~~the~~these new ~~facility lease~~leases, there have been no other material changes to the contractual obligations from that which was disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021., as filed with the SEC on August 30, 2021.

Our estimate of unrecognized tax benefits for which cash settlement may be required is $2.3 million. As of September 30, 2021, we are unable to estimate the timing of future cash outflows, if any, associated with these liabilities as we do not currently anticipate settling any of these tax positions with cash payment in the foreseeable future.31

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of risks, including interest rate changes, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, and derivative instruments classification and fair value changes. We have not entered into any foreign currency hedging transactions or other instruments to minimize our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations nor do we presently plan to in the future.

We are a party to an interest rate swap ~~agreements~~agreement which we designated as a hedge ~~instruments~~instrument to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations under our Credit Facility.

There has been no material change to our exposure to market risk from that which was disclosed in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 as filed with the SEC on August 30, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~September~~December 3031, 2021. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

29Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On January 21, 2022, a purported stockholder of Bottomline filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against us ~~for~~and ~~which~~our directors, captioned Jeffrey D. Justice, II v. Bottomline Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00586 (the ~~ultimate~~Justice ~~resolution~~Complaint). ~~would~~On ~~have~~January 26, 2022, a ~~material~~purported ~~effect~~stockholder ~~on,~~of orBottomline ~~require~~filed ~~further~~a ~~disclosure~~lawsuit in, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against us and our ~~financial~~directors, ~~statements~~captioned Chau Le v. Bottomline Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00670 (the Le Complaint).

All of the complaints allege that the preliminary proxy statement issued in connection with the Merger omits material information or contains misleading disclosures and that, as a result, (i) all of the defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) and (ii) all of our directors violated section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Le Complaint also alleges that our directors breached their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and good faith by, among other things, causing us to enter into the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as a result of an inadequate sale process, agreeing to preclusive deal mechanisms and filing a materially misleading and incomplete preliminary proxy statement. The Le Complaint also alleges that we aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duties.

We believe the claims asserted in each of the complaints are without merit.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against us, our Board of Directors, Parent and/or Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meaning set forth in Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for defined terms.

We are, from time to time, a party to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that there are claims or proceedings pending against us for which the ultimate resolution would have a material effect on, or require further disclosure in, our financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors identified in Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 before making an investment decision involving our common stock. These risk factors and the risk factors below related to the pending Merger, could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and could cause our actual business and financial results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or elsewhere by management from time to time. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties may also impact our business operations.

If the Merger does not occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

On December 16, 2021, we entered into the Merger Agreement. Upon completion of the Merger, we will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and will cease to be publicly owned and traded. There are, however, many contingencies which may cause the Merger not to occur.

Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including but not limited to, the absence of certain legal impediments and approval by our stockholders. There is no assurance that all of the various conditions will be satisfied, or that the Merger will be completed on the proposed terms, within the expected timeframe, or at all.

The Merger gives rise to inherent risks that include:

•the price of our common stock will change if the Merger is not completed to the extent that the current market price of our stock reflects an assumption that the Merger will be completed;

•the amount of cash to be paid under the Merger Agreement is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in our business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations or in the event of any change in the market price of, analyst estimates of, or projections relating to, our common stock;

Table of Contents

•legal or regulatory proceedings, including regulatory approvals from domestic and foreign governmental entities (including any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on these approvals) and the risk that such governmental entities may delay or deny approval, or other matters that affect the timing or ability to complete the transaction as contemplated;

•pending stockholder litigation that could prevent or delay the Merger or otherwise negatively impact our business and operations;

•the possibility of disruption to our business, including increased costs and diversion of management time and resources;

•difficulties maintaining business and operational relationships, including relationships with customers, suppliers, and other business partners;

•the inability to attract and retain key personnel pending consummation of the Merger;

•the inability to pursue alternative business opportunities or make changes to our business pending the completion of the Merger;

•the requirement that we pay a termination fee of $78 million to Parent if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances;

•developments beyond our control including, but not limited to, changes in domestic or global economic conditions that may affect the timing or success of the Merger; and

•the risk that if the Merger is not completed, the market price of our common stock could decline, investor confidence could decline, shareholder litigation could be brought against us or our directors, relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners may be adversely impacted, we may be unable to retain key personnel, and profitability may be adversely impacted due to costs incurred in connection with the proposed Merger.
