On September 8, 2014, our Board of Directors adopted our 2014 Associate Stock Purchase Plan.  We may issue a total of up to 500,000 shares of our common stock under the plan.  The plan is designed to be a stock purchase plan qualifying under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).  The board elected to cause the plan to be effective as of September 1, 2014, and as such the plan will need to be approved by our shareholders no later than August 30, 2015 in order to fully comply with the requirements of Code Section 423.

The 2014 Associate Stock Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at the end of pre-established offering periods at a maximum 15% discount from the common stock’s fair market value on the date of purchase or the offering date, whichever is lower. Purchases will be funded through employee payroll deductions (or, if payroll deductions are not permitted by local law, by other permitted methods).  Eligible employees include any person, including an officer, employed by Cachet Financial Solutions or a subsidiary and whose customary employment is at least 20 hours per week.  The plan will be administered by our full Board of Directors or committee of the board designated for such purpose.
