On April 15, 2026, PAR Technology Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Board Observer Agreement (the “Observer Agreement”) with the persons and entities listed on Schedule A thereto (Voss Value Master Fund, LP, Voss Value-Oriented Special Situations Fund, LP, Voss Advisors GP, LLC, Voss Capital, LP, Travis W. Cocke and Jon Hook, collectively, “Voss Capital”), pursuant to which the Company appointed Jon Hook (the "Board Observer") as a non-voting observer to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Pursuant to the Observer Agreement, the Board Observer is entitled to attend, in a non-voting observer capacity, all meetings of the Board and certain committees and to receive the applicable meeting materials at substantially the same time and in the same manner as provided to members of the Board, subject to customary exceptions (including to preserve attorney-client privilege, comply with applicable law or exchange rules, protect third-party confidentiality, or avoid conflicts of interest).The Observer Agreement has a term of one year and may be terminated earlier upon specified events, including if Voss Capital falls below the minimum ownership threshold, upon an uncured material breach by either party (following notice and the applicable cure period), or if Voss Capital or its affiliates seek board representation or attempt to exert control or influence beyond the observer rights granted. The Board Observer has no voting rights and no fiduciary duties to the Company or its shareholders. Voss Capital is not entitled to any fees and the Board Observer is only entitled to the reimbursement of expenses if the Company requests he attend a Board meeting in person. The Observer Agreement also contains customary provisions regarding confidentiality and non-disparagement.
The foregoing description of the Observer Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Observer Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
