Mr. Garcia, a pioneer in the financial services industry, became chief executive officer of National Data Corporation's ("NDC") eCommerce line of business in June 1999, which changed its name to Global Payments, Inc.

Mr. Garcia has served on a number of Boards of Directors, including the Global, U.S. and Latin American Boards of MasterCard International, West Corporation, Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, and the Electronic Transaction Association ("ETA"). Currently, Mr. Garcia is a Director of SunTrust Banks, Inc. (STI) and Payment Alliance International. He is also a Director of the Commerce Club of Atlanta.

Mr. Garcia was honored as 2004 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year® in Financial Services for Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee, and named one of the best CEOs in America five times by Institutional Investor. Mr. Garcia was also recognized by the Electronic Transactions Association as the recipient of the 2008-2009 Distinguished Payments Professional Award and became one of the first inductees to the ETA Hall of Fame in 2018.

Gary A. Simanson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Thunder Bridge, commented, "We are extremely honored that Mr. Garcia has agreed to join Repay Holdings Corporation's Board of Directors upon consummation of the Business Combination. Paul has been, and continues to be, one of the most influential leaders in the financial services and payments industries. We could not be more pleased to have his experience and guidance on the Board of Directors upon completion of the Business Combination to assist the combined company as it pursues growth opportunities in a fast-growing sector of the payments industry."

Pete Kight, Executive Chairman of Thunder Bridge, stated, "I have known Paul Garcia for many years and believe he will bring to the Board of Directors a level of knowledge and experience that is uniquely valuable in the industry. The addition of Paul to the Board of Directors, combined with the seasoned management team of REPAY and the recently-announced private placement transaction with Neuberger Berman Investment Advisors, LLC, Baron Funds and BlackRock, further builds upon REPAY's goal of being a world-class leader in payments."

Mr. Garcia will be nominated to the Board of Directors in place of Mr. Simanson and, along with the other Board nominees, Mr. Garcia's nomination will be presented for approval to Thunder Bridge's shareholders at the upcoming extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held to consider and approve the Business Combination.
