Insights

Veradace’s 8.6% activist stake introduces potential strategic and governance pressure at Repay.

Veradace Capital Management, its fund, and two principals now control 7,245,104 Repay common shares plus options on 110,400 shares, for 8.6% beneficial ownership based on 85,880,982 shares. The roughly $31,342,416 cost suggests a sizable, committed position for a focused investor.

The filing shifts from prior passive status (Schedule 13G) to an active Schedule 13D, with explicit concerns over multi‑year performance, the KUBRA Data Transfer LTD acquisition, and perceived lack of shareholder perspective on the board. Veradace is seeking two shareholder‑supported board seats and is open to strategic and governance changes aimed at shareholder value.

Future outcomes will depend on Repay’s response, board negotiations, and any further stake changes or public proposals Veradace may make. The filing notes flexibility to buy more shares, sell down, or use derivatives, so subsequent position updates and any announced board or strategic shifts will clarify how influential this 8.6% stake becomes.

Schedule 13D regulatory
"Veradace originally acquired beneficial ownership of the Shares of the Issuer for investment purposes and filed a Schedule 13G...and now believe that additional changes may be necessary..."
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
beneficially own financial
"As the investment adviser to the Fund, Veradace may be deemed to beneficially own the securities covered by this statement."
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
margin accounts financial
"Positions in Issuer securities may be held in margin accounts and may be pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances..."
A margin account is a brokerage account that lets an investor borrow money from the broker to buy more securities than they could with cash alone, using the securities in the account as security for the loan. Think of it like a mortgage for stock purchases: borrowing increases potential gains but also magnifies losses, can trigger a forced sale if the account falls below required limits, and carries interest costs—factors investors must manage carefully.
options to acquire financial
"held voting and dispositive power over 7,245,104 shares of common stock of the Issuer and options to acquire 110,400 Shares..."
American-style financial
"All of the Options are American-style and expire on June 30, 2026."
dispositive power financial
"The Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over 7,245,104 Shares and options to acquire an additional 110,400 Shares..."
Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.





If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition that is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this schedule because of §§ 240.13d-1(e), 240.13d-1(f) or 240.13d-1(g), check the following box.

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).
