(1)
The transaction valuation is estimated solely
for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee. Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is offering
holders of all outstanding warrants of the Company, as of December 21, 2018, 5,731,216 warrants (representing 5,310,109 Public
Warrants and 421,107 Private Warrants (each as defined below), collectively the “Warrants”), the opportunity to exchange
such Warrants and receive 0.1920 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company in exchange for each Warrant.
The transaction value was determined by using the average of the high and low prices of the Public Warrants of the Company as reported
on The NASDAQ Global Market on December 21, 2018, which was $0.76.
(2)
The amount of the filing fee assumes that all
outstanding warrants of the Company will be exchanged and is calculated pursuant to Rule 0-11(b) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and equals $121.20 for each $1,000,000 of the transaction value.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No.
3”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed by Priority Technology Holdings, Inc.
(“Priority,” the “Company,” “us” or “we”), a Delaware corporation, with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, on December 26, 2018 and amended on January 22, 2019 and February 11, 2019 (as amended, the “Schedule
TO”), in connection with the offer by the Company to each of its warrant holders described below to receive 0.1920 shares
of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company in exchange for every outstanding
Warrant of the Company tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”). The Offer was made
upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, dated February 11, 2019 (the “Prospectus/Offer
to Exchange”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent,
a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(B).
Concurrently with the Offer, we also solicited
consents from holders of the Warrants to amend the warrant agreement, dated as of September 13, 2016, by and between the Company
and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Warrant Agreement”), which governs all of the Warrants,
to permit the Company to require that each outstanding Warrant be converted into 0.1728 shares of Common Stock, which is a ratio
10% less than the ratio applicable to the Offer. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the consent of holders of at least
a majority of the outstanding Warrants is required to approve the amendment to the Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Amendment”),
with the holders of our publicly traded warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and holders of our privately issued warrants
(the “Private Warrants”) voting together. Therefore, one of the conditions to the adoption of the Warrant Amendment
is the receipt of the consent of holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Warrants.
The information in the Prospectus/Offer
to Exchange and in the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent, including all schedules and exhibits thereto, is incorporated
by reference herein to answer the items required in this Amendment No. 3.
This Amendment
No. 3 is being filed to update Item 11 and Item 12 of the Schedule TO to report the final results of the offer.
Only those items
amended are reported in this Amendment No. 3. Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule
TO, the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the Letter of Transmittal and Consent remains unchanged, and this Amendment No. 3
does not modify any of the other information previously reported on the Schedule TO or in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange or the
Letter of Transmittal and Consent. You should read Amendment No. 3 together with the Schedule TO, the Prospectus/Offer to
Exchange and the Letter of Transmittal and Consent.
Item 11. Additional Information.
This Amendment
No. 3 amends and supplements Item 11 of the Schedule TO as follows:
The Offer expired
at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on February 12, 2019. Priority has been advised that 2,171,046 warrants (excluding 3,757
warrants tendered through guaranteed delivery), or approximately 37.92% of the outstanding warrants, were validly tendered and
not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. Priority expects to accept all validly
tendered warrants for exchange and settlement on February 15, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, Priority will issue an
aggregate of 416,828 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for such warrants. Priority did not receive consents
of a majority of the outstanding warrants in the Consent Solicitation as required to effect the amendment to the Warrant Agreement
(the “Warrant Amendment”). Accordingly, the Warrant Amendment will not be executed.
On February 13,
2019, Priority issued a press release announcing the final results of the Offer as set forth above. A copy of the press release
is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 12. Exhibits.
This Amendment No. 3 amends and restates Item 12 of the Schedule
TO as follows:
