(d) On September 22, 2026, based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Flywire Corporation (“Flywire”), the Board appointed Sabrina Farmer (“Ms. Farmer”) to the Board as a Class II director, with her initial term expiring at Flywire’s 2029 annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with Ms. Farmer’s appointment, and pursuant to Flywire’s bylaws and certificate of incorporation, the Board has increased the number of directors from nine to ten. In addition, the Board appointed Ms. Farmer to serve as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”). The Board has determined that Ms. Farmer is an independent director and eligible to serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
As provided for in Flywire’s non-employee director compensation plan (the “Compensation Policy”), Ms. Farmer will receive an annual cash retainer of $35,000 per year for her service on the Board and an additional annual retainer of $4,000 for her service on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as more fully described in Flywire’s Proxy Statement for its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders filed with the SEC on April 23, 2026 pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Proxy Statement”). Pursuant to the Compensation Policy, upon the effectiveness of her appointment, Ms. Farmer was automatically granted a restricted stock unit award (the “Initial RSU”) with a fair market value of $350,000. The Initial RSU will vest in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the date of grant provided that Ms. Farmer is providing service as a member of the Board through such vesting date. Under the Compensation Policy, on the date of each Flywire annual meeting of stockholders, Ms. Farmer will also be entitled to receive an annual restricted stock unit award with a fair market value of $175,000 (the “Annual RSU”). The Annual RSU will vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary from the date of grant or Flywire’s next annual meeting of stockholders provided that Ms. Farmer is providing service as a member of the Board through such vesting date. In addition, each of the Initial RSU and Annual RSU will accelerate and fully vest upon a change in control or Ms. Farmer’s earlier death or disability. The Compensation Policy is described in further detail in the Proxy Statement.
Ms. Farmer and Flywire also entered an indemnification agreement requiring Flywire to indemnify Ms. Farmer to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law with respect to her service as a director. Flywire’s form of indemnification agreement was filed with the SEC on May 18, 2021 as Exhibit 10.1 to Flywire’s Amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
There are no family relationships between Ms. Farmer and any of Flywire’s directors or executive officers and Ms. Farmer does not have any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 23, 2026, Flywire issued a press release in connection with Ms. Farmer’s appointment to the Board as reported under Item 5.02 above. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1
Flywire Appoints Sabrina Farmer to its Board of Directors
Former GitLab Chief Technology Officer and Google VP of Engineering brings more than 25 years of technology leadership, infrastructure expertise, and a proven track record of scaling enterprise systems to Flywire's Board of Directors
Boston, MA - Sept 23, 2026 – Flywire Corporation (Flywire) (Nasdaq: FLYW), a global payments enablement and software company, today announced the appointment of Sabrina Farmer to its Board of Directors. In connection with her appointment, Ms. Farmer will also join the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.
Ms. Farmer joins the Flywire Board with extensive experience building ultra-scalable and highly reliable software systems, driving digital transformation, and leading global teams to deliver innovation in consumer and enterprise technology. She currently serves as Corporate Vice President of the Commerce Platform at Microsoft, where she is responsible for delivering the scalable core commerce, billing, and payment platforms that enable go-to-market (GTM) strategies for Azure, Office 365, Copilot, and consumer channels. Prior to Microsoft, she was Chief Technology Officer at GitLab, where she led the company's software engineering, operations, and customer support teams. Previously, Ms. Farmer had a distinguished, 19-year career at Google in which she most recently served as Vice President of Engineering, Core Infrastructure, leading strategic initiatives across Google's most critical systems. She reported directly to senior leadership and was responsible for the reliability, performance, and efficiency of all of Google's billion-user products and infrastructure. During her tenure, Ms. Farmer supported some of the world's most widely-used digital services, and engineering organizations achieved new standards for infrastructure resilience and operational excellence.
"Sabrina's track record of architecting and operating systems at unprecedented scale, including managing billions of interactions across the world's largest digital platforms, makes her an invaluable addition to our Board," said Mike Massaro, CEO of Flywire. "Her deep expertise in building reliable, high-performance infrastructure and her proven ability to lead transformational change across complex global organizations aligns with Flywire's growth trajectory. We look forward to her strategic insights as we continue to scale our business globally."
Beyond her technical leadership, Ms. Farmer is a passionate advocate for inclusion in technology. She earned a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of New Orleans and has established two scholarships there to help level the playing field for inclusion and empowerment in the technology sector.
