Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on November 16, 2022, Elevate Credit, Inc. (the "Company" or "Elevate") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with PCAM Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and PCAM Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

On January 17, 2023, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") related to the special meeting of the Company's stockholders (the "Special Meeting") where stockholders will vote on proposals relating to the Merger. The Proxy Statement is hereby supplemented as set forth below.

Transaction Litigation

As of February 6, 2023, four purported stockholder complaints have been filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement: Benjamin Plopper v. Elevate Credit Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-10954, filed in S.D.N.Y on December 29, 2022; Nathan Smith v. Elevate Credit, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-00463, filed in S.D.N.Y. on January 19, 2023; Matthew Jones v. Elevate Credit, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-00063, filed in D. Delaware on January 19, 2023; and Sean Riley v. Elevate Credit, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-00531, filed in S.D.N.Y on January 22, 2023 (collectively, the "Actions"). The Actions name as defendants Elevate and each of the members of our Board of Directors. The Actions allege, among other things, that all defendants violated provisions of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, insofar as the proxy statement as filed by Elevate on January 17, 2023, or preliminarily filed by Elevate on December 20, 2022, allegedly is materially misleading and omits material facts with respect to the proposed transactions described therein. The Actions seek, among other things, injunctive relief or damages, as well as an award of plaintiffs' fees and expenses. The defendants believe the claims asserted in the Actions are without merit and intend to vigorously defend them.
