PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Flywire Corporation (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”) within the prescribed time period for those reasons set forth below.

On December 31, 2022, the Company’s status as an emerging growth company ended and the Company became a large accelerated filer. As a result, the Company has a shortened filing deadline of 60 days rather than 90 days to file its Annual Report and is, for the first time, subject to the requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “SOX Act”).

In connection with this shorter filing timeline and the enhanced compliance obligations with respect to Section 404 of the SOX Act, the Company requires additional time to complete the procedures relating to its year-end financial reporting process, finalize processes and procedures required by Section 404(b) of the SOX Act and complete the procedures relating to management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls. Therefore, the Company is unable to file the Annual Report by the prescribed filing due date of March 1, 2023 without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company is working diligently to complete the necessary work. The Company expects to file the Annual Report within the extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
