Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this release may be forward-looking statements, including statements relating to the offering, including the timing and size of the offering and the grant of the option to purchase additional shares. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this release are only predictions. EngageSmart has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that EngageSmart believes may affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause EngageSmart’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the important factors discussed in Item 1A of EngageSmart’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and Forms 10-Q and 8-K subsequently filed with SEC. Such statements in this release are based upon information available to EngageSmart as of the date of this release, and while EngageSmart believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that EngageSmart has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. EngageSmart qualifies all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, EngageSmart does not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this release, whether as a result of any new information, future events, or otherwise.
