| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. | ||||
On January 14, 2026, PAR Technology Corporation (the “Company” or “PAR”) entered into separate and individually negotiated transactions (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of its outstanding 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to exchange approximately $17.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Exchanged Notes”) for approximately 398,650 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.02 per share (the “Common Stock”), plus approximately $134,000 in cash equal to accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes to, but excluding, the closing date (the “Notes Exchange”). The Notes Exchange is expected to close on January 23, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Following the consummation of the Notes Exchange, an aggregate of approximately $2.9 million principal amount of the Notes will remain outstanding.
The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the Notes Exchange. The Exchange Agreements provide for the Company to deliver and pay, as applicable, the shares of Common Stock and cash described above, and the Company will receive and cancel the Exchanged Notes.
The Notes Exchange is being conducted pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
This Current Report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer to sell, solicitation or sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
