On June 27, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Bitcoin Depot Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, appointed Ms. Teri G. Fontenot to the Board, effective July 1, 2024, to fill the vacancy on the Board caused by the resignation of Jackie Marks, which the Company previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 8, 2024. Ms. Fontenot will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until her successor shall be elected and qualified or until her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Ms. Fontenot has also been appointed to serve as a member and the Chair of the Board’s Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Ms. Fontenot meets the applicable standards for an independent director under the listing rules of the The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the financial literacy requirements for membership on the Audit Committee under the Nasdaq rules.

Ms. Fontenot is CEO Emeritus of Woman’s Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, one of the nation’s largest and preeminent women’s specialty hospitals. Her leadership service includes serving as President and CEO of Woman’s Hospital for more than 23 years.

Under her leadership, Woman’s Hospital became the largest birthing hospital and neonatal intensive care unit in Louisiana. It is also the only independent, nonprofit women’s hospital in the country. Her leadership service includes numerous state and national healthcare boards, including terms as Chair of the American Hospital Association and the Louisiana Hospital Association.

Ms. Fontenot currently serves as an independent director and member of the Audit Committee of each of Amerisafe, Inc. and AMN Healthcare Services Inc.

In connection with her appointment to the Board, Ms. Fontenot will be entitled to receive 40,000 restricted stock units that will cliff vest on the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the grant date or (b) the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and an annual cash retainer equal to $30,000 for her service on the Board, as well as an additional aggregate cash retainer of $20,000 for her service as Audit Committee Chair.
