REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

This Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [____], 2024, among SPS Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and the persons identified on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Investors” and, each individually, an “Investor”).

WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the date hereof, Parent, SupplyPike, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the other parties thereto are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Parent will acquire the Company and the Investors, as Company Securityholders, are being issued the Registrable Shares (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement in order to provide for certain registration rights and certain lock-up restrictions on future sales as set forth below. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual and dependent covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section 1.1    Registration Rights.
a.    Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to:
i.file a registration statement on Form S-3ASR (or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Parent, on Form S-1 or such other form of registration statement as is then available) with the SEC no later than 30 days after the Effective Time registering for resale under the Securities Act the Closing Consideration Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Shares”) providing for registration of such Registrable Shares under SEC Rule 415 (such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, exhibit or amendment included in or relating to such registration statement being the “Resale Registration Statement”);
ii.not less than two calendar days prior to the filing of the Resale Registration Statement or any related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish via email to the recipients of Registrable Shares copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (other than any document that is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein);

iii.promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Resale Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith (including, if necessary, filing an additional registration statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities on another form) as may be necessary to keep such Resale Registration Statement (or subsequent registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities) effective and free from any material misstatement or omission to state a material fact therein until termination of such obligation as provided below;



iv.furnish to the recipients of Registrable Shares such number of copies of prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as the recipient may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Shares by such recipient;

v.file such documents as may be required of Parent for normal securities law clearance for the resale of the Registrable Shares in such states of the United States as may be reasonably requested by recipients of Registrable Shares and use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the period Parent is required to maintain effectiveness of each such Resale Registration Statement; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required in connection with the foregoing to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

vi.file the final prospectus, if applicable, under Rule 424 of the Securities Act within the applicable time period prescribed by Rule 424;

vii.advise the recipients of Registrable Shares promptly (and in any event within two trading days thereof):

1.of the filing and effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement or any post-effective amendments thereto;

2.of any request by the SEC for amendments to a Resale Registration Statement or amendments to the prospectus or for additional information relating thereto;

3.of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes; and

4.of the existence of any fact and the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in a Resale Registration Statement, the prospectus and amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in a Resale Registration Statement or the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading;

viii.cause all Registrable Shares to be listed for trading on the market on which equity securities of Parent are then listed; and

ix.bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in this Section 1.1 and the registration of the Registrable Shares on each such Resale Registration Statement and the satisfaction of the blue sky laws of such states.






Section 1.2    Termination of Registration Rights. The obligations of Parent pursuant to this Agreement shall cease and terminate as to any recipient for so long as (i) a Resale Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Shares is effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable Shares have been disposed of by the holder in accordance with such effective Resale Registration Statement, (ii) such Registrable Shares have been previously sold in accordance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor to such rule), or (iii) such Registrable Securities become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 without regard to volume limitations.
Section 1.3    Facilitation of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144. For as long as any recipient of Registrable Shares holds Registrable Shares, to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and submit all required Interactive Data Files (as defined in Rule 11 of Regulation S-T), and shall use reasonable best efforts to take such further necessary action as any holder of Registrable Shares may reasonably request in connection with the removal of any restrictive legend on the Registrable Shares being sold, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell the Registrable Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
Section 1.4    Indemnification. Parent will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Investor from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of, relating to or resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Resale Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. This indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of the Investor on account of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from, relating to or resulting from information contained in the Resale Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with the information provided by the Investor.
ARTICLE II
LOCK-UP RESTRICTIONS

Section 2.1     Lock-Up. As inducement for Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, each Investor hereby agrees that without, in each case, the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion) during the period specified in Section 2.3 (the Lock-Up Period), such Investor will not:
a.offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, file (or participate in the filing of) or confidentially submit a registration statement with the SEC in respect of, any Registrable Shares(for each investor, the “Investor’s Securities”);
b.enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Investor’s Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of SPS Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; or




c.publicly announce or disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.2    Each Investor agrees that the foregoing restrictions preclude such Investor from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Investor’s Securities even if such securities would be disposed of by someone other than such Investor. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Investor’s Securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from, such securities.
Section 2.3    The Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Agreement and continue and include the date 30 days after the date of closing of the merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement as to 50% of the Investor’s Securities issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the date 90 days after the date of closing of the merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement as to the remaining 50% of the Investor’s Securities issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Section 2.4    In addition, each Investor hereby agrees that at no time may Investor sell more than 20% of the aggregate number of Investor’s Securities issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement in any single trading day (regardless of the market or markets on which such Investor is selling the SPS Common Stock).

c.by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement;

d.if the Investor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity (1) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is a direct or indirect affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Investor, (2) as distributions of shares of SPS Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable for SPS Common Stock to limited partners, limited liability company members, trust beneficiaries or stockholders of the Investor or (3) in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the Investor’s capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the Investor’s assets, in any such case not undertaken for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by this Agreement;

e.if the Investor is a trust, to the beneficiary of such trust;

f.by testate succession or intestate succession; or

Section 2.6    Exceptions. In addition, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:
a.the establishment of any contract, instruction or plan (a “Plan”) that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act; provided that no sales of the Investor’s Securities shall be made pursuant to such a Plan prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, and such a Plan may only be established if no public announcement of the establishment or existence thereof and no filing with the SEC or other regulatory authority in respect thereof or transactions thereunder or contemplated thereby, by the Investor, Parent or any other person, shall be required, and no such announcement or filing is made voluntarily, by the Investor, Parent or any other person, prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period;
b.transactions related to shares of SPS Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions or after the completion of the Offering; provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with subsequent sales of SPS Common Stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions; or

c.transfers of shares of SPS Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for SPS Common Stock pursuant to any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Parent’s capital stock involving a change of control of Parent which is approved by Parent’s Board of Directors (including, without limitation, the entering into any lock-up, voting or similar agreement pursuant to which the Investor may agree to transfer, sell, tender or otherwise dispose of Common Stock or other such securities in connection with such transaction, or vote any Common Stock or other such securities in favor of any such transaction); provided, that in the event such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Investor’s Securities shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.7    In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of shares of SPS Common Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.

SPS Commerce Acquires SupplyPike

Acquisition expands company’s product portfolio with automated invoice deduction management and prevention

Company to host conference call today at 8:30 a.m. ET

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 1, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPS Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPSC), a leader in retail supply chain cloud services, today announced the acquisition of SupplyPike, an automated invoice deduction management and prevention solution.

SupplyPike is a first of its kind SaaS solution that provides ongoing monitoring and management of invoice deductions to recover lost revenue along with the information needed to improve processes and eliminate deductions in the future.

“The interdependent nature of the retail supply chain necessitates close collaboration between trading partners,” said Chad Collins, CEO of SPS Commerce. “With the acquisition of SupplyPike, SPS Commerce now offers an additional way for suppliers to understand and improve their ability to meet their retail customers’ expectations, with automated process monitoring, education, and improvement, and dispute resolution capabilities.”

“We believe by combining SupplyPike with SPS Commerce, we are providing an industry-leading knowledgebase of resources to reduce supply chain missteps and strengthen suppliers’ relationships with their customers,” said Dan Sanker, Founder and CEO of SupplyPike.

Acquisition Details

SPS Commerce acquired SupplyPike for approximately $119 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and $87 million in SPS Commerce stock.
For the third quarter of 2024, SPS Commerce anticipates the acquisition will add approximately $3.0 million in revenue and expects Adjusted EBITDA to be negatively impacted by approximately $750,000.

For fiscal year 2024, the company expects the acquisition will add approximately $8.0 million in revenue and expects Adjusted EBITDA to be negatively impacted by approximately $1.5 million.

For fiscal year 2025, the company expects the acquisition will add approximately $25.0 million in revenue and breakeven in Adjusted EBITDA.

Additional details, including the amortization expense associated with the acquisition, will be provided when the company reports third quarter results in October 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its financial statements, we provide investors with Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to our management, Board of Directors, and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes and for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to an investor as it is widely used in evaluating operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, and to present a meaningful measure of corporate performance exclusive of capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.




Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, investment income (interest income/expense, realized investments gain/loss excluding realized gain/loss from foreign currency on investments), income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense, realized gain/loss from foreign currency on cash and investments held, and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation. SPS Commerce uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance because it assists the company in comparing performance on a consistent basis, as it removes from operating results the impact of the company's capital structure. SPS Commerce believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating the company's operating performance because it is widely used to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, and to present a meaningful measure of corporate performance exclusive of the company's capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP and is subject to inherent limitations.

SPS Commerce does not present a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is impractical to forecast certain items without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting, within a reasonable range, the occurrence and financial impact of and the periods in which such items may be recognized.
