The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed information appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference into this registration statement.

Our Company

USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “USAT,” “us” or “our”) provides wireless networking, cashless transactions, asset monitoring, and other value-added services principally to the small ticket, unattended Point of Sale (“POS”) market. Our ePort technology can be installed and/or embedded into everyday devices such as vending machines, a variety of kiosks, amusement games, and commercial laundry via either our ePort hardware or our Quick Connect solution. Our associated service, ePort Connect, is a Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)-compliant, comprehensive service that includes simplified credit card processing and support, consumer engagement services as well as telemetry, Internet of Things (“IoT”) and machine-to-machine (“M2M”) services, including the ability to remotely monitor, control, and report on the results of distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions.

We are a leading provider in the small ticket, beverage and food vending industry and are expanding our solutions and services to other unattended market segments, such as amusement, commercial laundry, kiosk and others. Historically, these distributed assets have relied on cash for payment in the form of coins or bills, whereas, our systems allow them to accept cashless payments through the use of credit or debit cards or other emerging contactless forms, such as mobile payment.

On November 9, 2017, we acquired Cantaloupe Systems, Inc. (“Cantaloupe”), a premier provider of cloud and mobile solutions for the self-service retail market, in a transaction valued at approximately $85 million, consisting of $65.2 million in cash and $19.8 million in shares of our common stock. The acquisition expanded our existing cashless payment and asset monitoring platform to an end-to-end logistics and enterprise platform by integrating Cantaloupe’s Seed software services, which provide dynamic route scheduling, automated pre-kitting, responsive merchandising, inventory management, and warehouse and accounting management. We believe that the services we obtained as a result of the acquisition are highly complementary, value-added cloud-based and mobile services, which we are now able to cross-sell to our existing customer base. In addition to new technology and services, due to Cantaloupe’s existing customer base, the acquisition expands our footprint into new global markets. As a result of the Cantaloupe acquisition, we acquired approximately 1,400 new customers and 270,000 new connections to our service.

We generate revenue from the sale of equipment and from license and transaction fees. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, and the nine months ended March 31, 2018, we derived 66% and 74% of our revenues, respectively, from recurring license and transaction fees related to our service and 34% and 26% of our revenues, respectively, from equipment sales. We consider a connection to be the utilization by an unattended location owned or operated by our customer of at least one of the services offered by our end-to-end enterprise platform. These services include cashless payment, loyalty, inventory management, warehouse and accounting management, and responsive merchandising. Connections to our service include those resulting from the sale or lease of our POS electronic payment devices or certified payment software or the servicing of similar third-party installed POS terminals. Connections to our service are the most significant driver of our revenues, particularly the higher margin recurring revenues from license and transaction fees. We believe that our service-approach business model, including our value-added services, could create a high-margin stream of recurring revenues that could create a foundation for long-term value and continued growth.

Our Industry

We operate primarily in the small ticket electronic payments industry and, more specifically, the unattended POS market. We also have the ability to accept cashless payment “on the go” through mobile-based payment services, which are generally higher ticket transactions. Our solutions and services facilitate electronic payments in industries that have traditionally relied on cash transactions. We believe the following industry trends are driving growth in demand for electronic payment systems in general and more specifically within the markets we serve:

Shift Toward Electronic Payment Transactions and Away from Cash and ChecksThere has been an ongoing shift away from paper-based methods of payment, including cash and checks, towards electronic-based methods of payment. According to The Nilson Report, December 2016, paper-based methods of payment continued to decline in 2015, representing 26.14% of transaction dollars measured compared to 28.07% in 2014. The four card-based systems—credit, debit, prepaid, and electronic benefits transfer—generated $5.67 trillion in the United States in 2015, 59.32% of transaction dollars measured. The Nilson Report projects that, by 2019, spending at merchants in the U.S. from the four card-based systems will grow to 67.03% of total transaction dollars measured.
 
Increase in Consumer Demand for Electronic Payments. The unattended, vending and kiosk POS market has historically been dominated by cash purchases. However, oftentimes, cash purchases at unattended POS locations represent a cumbersome transaction for the consumer because they do not have the correct monetary value (paper or coin), or the consumer does not have the ability to convert their bills into coins. We believe electronic payment system providers such as the Company that can meet consumers’ demand within the unattended market will be able to offer retailers, card associations, card issuers and payment processors and business owners an expanding value proposition at the POS. Based upon our survey of selected vending machines connected to our service over a recent twelve-month period, we estimate that average annual cashless sales per machine increased by approximately 44% from those of a prior twelve-month period, and cashless sales as a percentage of total machine sales (cashless and cash) increased by 15% from those of such prior twelve-month period. In addition, average consumer purchases during the recent twelve-month period in which the consumer utilized a credit or debit card were approximately 35% higher than purchases where the consumer utilized cash.

Increase in Merchant/Operator Demand for Electronic Payments. We believe that, increasingly, merchants and operators of unattended payment locations (e.g., vending machines, laundry, tabletop games, etc.) are utilizing electronic payment alternatives as a means to improve business results. The Company works with its customers to help them drive increased revenue of their distributed assets through this expanded market opportunity. In addition, electronic payment systems can provide merchants and operators real-time sales and inventory data utilized for back-office reporting and forecasting, like the Company’s solutions and services, helping them to manage their business more efficiently.

Increase in Demand for Integrated Payment Solutions.  We believe that merchants have come to value payment solutions that are integrated or bundled with other solutions and software.  Offering an integrated solution allows us to provide a single source solution for our products and results in better customer retention, less focus on price and a better overall experience for our customers.  Our recent acquisition of Cantaloupe allows us to provide an end-to-end enterprise solution to our customers, which includes dynamic route scheduling, automated pre-kitting, responsive merchandising, inventory management, and warehouse and accounting management. We also view our integrated solutions as a significant competitive advantage as competitors will need fully integrated solutions to compete.

Increase in Demand for Networked Assets. Machine-to-machine (“M2M”) technology includes capturing value from wireless modules and electronic devices to improve business productivity and customer service. In addition, networked assets can provide valuable information regarding consumers’ purchasing patterns and payment preferences, allowing operators to more effectively tailor their offerings to consumers. Gartner, Inc. forecasts that 20.8 billion connected things will be in use worldwide by 2020.

POS Technology and NFC Equipped Mobile Phone Payment Improvements. Near Field Communication (“NFC”) is a short range wireless connectivity technology that uses electromagnetic radio fields to enable communication between devices when there is a physical touch, or when they are within close proximity to one another. We believe that POS contactless terminals that are enabled to accept NFC payments and digital wallet applications, such as Google Wallet, Chase Pay, Apple Pay, the recently introduced Android Pay, and others, stand to benefit from these evolving trends in mobile payment. Digital wallet is essentially a digital service, accessed via the web or a mobile phone application that serves as a substitute for the traditional credit or debit card. Providers can also market directly to targeted consumers with coupons and loyalty programs.  As approximately 622,000 of our connections are contactless enabled to accept NFC payments (in addition to magnetic stripe cards) as of December 31, 2017, we believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from this emerging space.

Our Connection Base

As of June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2018, we had 568,000 and 969,000 connections, respectively, to our service. These connections represented a 32% and 92% increase from connections as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, we processed approximately 414.9 million cashless transactions totaling approximately $803 million in transaction dollars, representing a 31% increase in transaction volume and a 37% increase in dollars processed during the previous fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we processed approximately 170.6 million cashless transactions, totaling approximately $318.0 million in transaction dollars, representing a 63% increase in transaction volume and a 57% increase in dollars processed during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2018, we had approximately 15,600 customers. Our customers range from global food service organizations to small businesses that operate primarily in the self-serve, small ticket retail markets including beverage and food vending, amusement and arcade machines, smartphones via our ePort Online solution, commercial laundry, tolls and various other self-serve kiosk applications, as well as equipment developers or manufacturers who incorporate our service into their product offerings. We estimate that there are approximately 13 million to 15 million potential connections in this self-serve, small ticket retail market. We estimate that our current customers represent approximately 2 million of these potential connections, exclusive of any potential connections attributable to new customers acquired from Cantaloupe.
 
Our customers can obtain POS electronic payment devices from us in the following ways:

·
Purchasing devices directly from us or one of our authorized resellers;

·
Financing devices under the Company’s QuickStart Program, which are non-cancellable sixty-month sales-type leases, through an unrelated equipment financing company, if available, or directly from the Company; and

·
Renting devices under our JumpStart Program, which are cancellable month-to-month operating leases.

Our Solutions

Our solutions and services have been designed to simplify the transition to cashless for traditionally cash-only based businesses. As such, they are turn-key and include our comprehensive ePort Connect service and POS electronic payment devices or certified payment software, which are able to process traditional magnetic stripe credit and debit cards, contactless credit and debit cards and mobile payments. Standard services through ePort Connect are maintained on our proprietary operating systems and include merchant account setup on behalf of the customer, automatic processing and settlement, sales reporting and 24x7 customer support. Other value-added services that customers can choose from include things such as cashless deployment planning, cashless performance review and loyalty products and services. Our solutions also provide flexibility to execute a variety of payment applications on a single system, transaction security, connectivity options, compliance with certification standards, and centralized, accurate, real-time sales and inventory data to manage distributed assets (wireless telemetry and M2M).

Our ePort® Interactive is a cloud-based interactive media and content delivery management system that provides enhanced vendor management system (“VMS”) integration and consumer product information, including nutritional data. The technology is NFC enabled and compatible with mobile wallets including Apple Pay and Android Pay, and supports instant refunds, couponing, advertising and real-time consumer feedback to the owner and operator.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that we benefit from a number of advantages gained through our nearly twenty-five year history in our industry. They include:

·
One-Stop Shop, End-to-End Solution. We offer our customers one point of contact through a bundled cashless payment solution, which, following the Cantaloupe acquisition, includes dynamic route scheduling, automated pre-kitting, responsive merchandising, inventory management and warehouse and accounting management.

·
Trusted Brand Name. Our ePort Connect solution has a strong national reputation for quality, reliability and innovation.

·
Market Leadership. With 969,000 connections to our network as of March 31, 2018, we believe we have the largest installed base of unattended POS electronic payment systems in the unattended small ticket retail market for food and beverage and we are continuing to expand to other adjacent markets.

·
Attractive Value Proposition for Our Customers. We believe that our solutions provide our customers an attractive value proposition by reducing costs, improve operating efficiencies and increasing the purchases of their consumers machines.

·
Increasing Scale and Financial Stability. Due to the continued growth in connections to our service, during the 2017 fiscal year and the nine months ended March 31, 2018, 66% and 74% of our revenues, respectively, were derived from licensing and processing fees, which are recurring in nature.

·
Customer-Focused Research and Development. We have generated considerable intellectual property and know-how with 86 patents (US and International) as of March 31, 2018.

Our Growth Opportunity

Our primary objective is to continue to enhance our position as a leading provider of technology that enables electronic payment transactions and value-added services.  We plan to execute this growth strategy organically and through strategic acquisitions.  Key elements of our strategy are to:

·
Leverage and further penetrate our existing customers/partners
 
·
Expand distribution and sales reach

·
Further penetrate attractive adjacent markets

·
Capitalize on opportunities in international markets

·
Capitalize on the emerging NFC and growing mobile payments trends

·
Continuously enhance our solutions and services through innovation

·
Provide comprehensive service and support

·
Leverage intellectual property consisting of 86 U.S. and foreign patents

Our Acquisition Strategy

We have historically, and expect to continue to, drive growth in connections and expand the value of our services through strategic acquisitions of businesses, products, or technologies.  We intend to pursue acquisitions of businesses that are accretive and complementary to our current product and service offerings by broadening our customer base, expanding our geographic footprint, and acquiring strategic technologies or otherwise complementing our current or future business.

On November 9, 2017, we acquired Cantaloupe, a premier provider of cloud and mobile solutions for the self-service retail market, for which the Company paid $65.2 million in cash and issued shares of its common stock valued at $19.8 million. We have funded the cash portion of the transaction with cash on hand from a public offering that closed in July 2017, and through a new $37.5 million credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The acquisition expanded our existing cashless payment and asset monitoring platform to an end-to-end logistics and enterprise platform by integrating Cantaloupe’s Seed software services, which provide dynamic route scheduling, automated pre-kitting, responsive merchandising, inventory management and warehouse and accounting management.

We have derived the summary condensed consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 from our audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. We have derived the summary consolidated statement of operations data for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and the summary condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of March 31, 2018 from our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
 
We have prepared the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and have included, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider necessary for a fair statement of the financial information set forth in those statements. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected in the future, and interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected for the full year or any other period.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves risks. Before making an investment decision, please carefully review the risks described below and the risks discussed under the section captioned “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC since the filing of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, together with all other information in this prospectus and the other documents incorporated by reference, and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. The occurrence of any of those risks could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. Other risks and uncertainties that we do not now consider to be material or of which we are not now aware may become important factors that affect us in the future. Any of these risks could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Relating to the Offering

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the Company’s proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of our net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, delay the growth of our business, and cause the price of our common stock to decline. We will not receive any proceeds from sales by the selling shareholders.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

Since the price per share of our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s net tangible book value was $0.41 per share. After giving effect to the sale of our common stock at an assumed public offering price of $11.75 per share, which is the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market on May 15, 2018, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, the net tangible book value of our common stock would be $1.16 per share as of March 31, 2018. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.75 per share to existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $10.59 per share to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed offering price of $11.75 per share.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders, including investors who purchase shares of common stock in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.

If securities and/or industry analysts fail to continue publishing research about our business, if they change their recommendations adversely, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. In addition, it is likely that, in some future period, our operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.
 
Because we do not intend to declare cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future, shareholders must rely on the appreciation of the value of our common stock for any return on their investment.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of our existing debt agreements preclude and future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends, and our articles of incorporation prohibit the declaration of any dividends on our common stock unless and until all unpaid and accumulated dividends on the series A convertible preferred stock have been declared and paid. Through May 1, 2018, the unpaid and cumulative dividends on the series A convertible preferred stock are $14.99 million. As a result, we expect that only an appreciation of the price of our common stock, if any, will provide a return to investors in this offering for the foreseeable future.
 
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain certain forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, the anticipated financial and operating results of our company.  For this purpose, forward-looking statements are any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact and include, but are not limited to, those preceded by or that include the words, “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “likely,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “intend,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projected,” or similar expressions. Those statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected, include, for example:

·
general economic, market or business conditions unrelated to our operating performance;
·
our ability to raise funds in the future through sales of securities or debt financing in order to sustain our operations if an unexpected or unusual event would occur;
·
our ability to compete with our competitors to obtain market share;
·
whether our current or future customers purchase, lease, rent or utilize ePort devices or our other products in the future at levels currently anticipated by us;
·
whether our customers continue to utilize our transaction processing and related services, as our customer agreements are generally cancelable by the customer on thirty to sixty days’ notice;
·
our ability to satisfy our trade obligations included in accounts payable and accrued expenses;
·
our ability to sell to third party lenders all or a portion of our finance receivables;
·
the ability of a sufficient number of our customers to utilize third party financing companies under our QuickStart program in order to improve our net cash used by operating activities;
·
the incurrence by us of any unanticipated or unusual non-operating expenses which would require us to divert our cash resources from achieving our business plan;
·
our ability to predict or estimate our future quarterly or annual revenues and expenses given the developing and unpredictable market for our products;
·
our ability to retain key customers from whom a significant portion of our revenues is derived;
·
the ability of a key customer to reduce or delay purchasing products from us;
·
our ability to obtain widespread commercial acceptance of our products and service offerings such as ePort QuickConnect, mobile payment and loyalty programs;
·
whether any patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or adequate protection for our products, or would be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented by others;
·
our ability to operate without infringing the intellectual property rights of others;
·
the ability of our products and services to avoid unauthorized hacking or credit card fraud;
·
whether our suppliers would increase their prices, reduce their output or change their terms of sale;
·
our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes may be impaired; and
·
our ability to realize the full benefits and synergies anticipated from the Cantaloupe merger because of integration and other challenges.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Actual results or business conditions may differ materially from those projected or suggested in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those described above. We cannot assure you that we have identified all the factors that create uncertainties. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this prospectus or any document incorporated by reference herein speaks only as of the date of such document. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this prospectus or the document incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock offered hereby, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable by us, will be approximately $45.02 million, or approximately $52.75 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, assuming a public offering price of $11.75 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market on May 15, 2018.

We intend to use the net proceeds received from the offering for general corporate purposes and working capital to support anticipated growth. These purposes may include, among other things, future acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies, possible expansion into international markets, or establishing or implementing strategic alliances, that we believe will complement our current or future business. We evaluate these opportunities on an ongoing basis, and engage in discussions in connection with potential opportunities. While we have no existing agreements, commitments or understandings for any specific future acquisitions or strategic alliances at this time, we may use a portion of the net proceeds for these purposes. We may also utilize the net proceeds received from this offering to prepay all or a portion of our debt obligations due by us to our bank lender.

We will retain broad discretion in the allocation of our net proceeds from this offering. Pending the uses described above, we intend to invest our net proceeds from this offering in short-term interest-bearing securities.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling shareholders.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

We are registering 553,187 shares of common stock to permit the shareholders listed in the table below, which we otherwise refer to as the selling shareholders, to resell such shares. The shares of common stock offered for resale by the selling shareholders were acquired by them on the date we acquired Cantaloupe (November 9, 2017) in exchange for their securities of Cantaloupe. Pursuant to the acquisition of Cantaloupe, we issued an aggregate of 3,423,367 shares to all of the former Cantaloupe security holders, of which 1,496,707 shares were issued to the escrow agent to be held in escrow for a period of 15 months following the closing in order to secure the indemnification obligations of Cantaloupe under the merger agreement, and the remaining 1,926,660 shares were issued to the former Cantaloupe security holders (the “Non-Escrow Shares”). The shares being offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this offering represent all of the Non-Escrow Shares owned by the selling shareholders. Except for any shares which may be (or deemed to be) held by our affiliates, and subject to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement by and between us and each of the former Cantaloupe security holders (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), the Non-Escrow Shares became freely tradeable under Rule 144 promulgated under the under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on May 9, 2018.

As a condition of receiving the shares of the Company, each former Cantaloupe security holder entered into a Lock-Up Agreement, pursuant to which they agreed not to transfer their shares for a period of six months following the closing (“Lock-Up Period”). Additionally, during each trading day during the twelve-month period following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, each former Cantaloupe security holder  is permitted to sell shares in an aggregate amount not to exceed 5% of the three-month average daily trading volume of our common stock, with exceptions for privately negotiated, off-market block trades.

None of the former Cantaloupe security holders was granted any registration rights in connection with the shares issued in exchange for their Cantaloupe securities. Because of the large percentage of Non-Escrow Shares owned by the selling shareholders, we have provided the selling shareholders with the right to participate in this offering. Each selling shareholder and the Company have entered into an amendment to their Lock-Up Agreement which provides for and permits the resale of the selling shareholder’s shares pursuant to this offering.

The following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock owned by the selling shareholders prior to this offering, the number of shares of common stock to be offered for sale by the selling shareholders in this offering, the number of shares of common stock to be owned by the selling shareholders after completion of this offering, and the percentage of common stock to be owned by the selling shareholders after giving effect to the completion of this offering as of the date hereof. We have prepared the table based on information given to us by, or on behalf of, the selling shareholders on or before May 1, 2018. The beneficial ownership of our common stock by the selling shareholders set forth in the table is determined as of May 1, 2018, in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

As of May 15, 2018, the closing price of our common stock was $11.75. As of May 1, 2018, there were approximately 632 holders of record of our common stock. This number does not include shareholders for whom shares were held in a “nominee” or “street” name.

DIVIDEND POLICY

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as our Board of Directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally available for payment of dividends. We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock and do not contemplate paying any such cash dividend in the foreseeable future.  No dividend may be paid on the common stock until all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock have been paid.  As of the date of this prospectus, such accumulated unpaid dividends amounted to $14.99 million. In addition, our credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. prohibits us from paying dividends on our common stock, and generally limits our ability to pay dividends on our preferred stock.

We currently intend to retain available cash for use in our business to finance ongoing operations and the potential growth of our business.  Payments of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion and any other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant, and subject to any restrictions contained in our financing and bank agreements.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization, cash and cash equivalents:

The as adjusted information set forth above is illustrative only and will change based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed public offering price of $ 11.75 per share, which is the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market on May 15, 2018, would increase or decrease as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, total shareholders’ equity, and total capitalization by approximately $ 3.87 million, assuming that the number of shares of common stock offered by us and the selling shareholders, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares of common stock we or the selling shareholders are offering. A 1,000,000-share increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock offered by us would increase or decrease as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, total shareholders’ equity, and total capitalization by approximately $ 11.05 million, assuming that the assumed public offering price remains the same, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.

The information presented in the table above is based on 53,666,718 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2018, and excludes, in each case as of such date:

·
23,978 shares of common stock underlying warrants issued by the Company to our previous bank lender at an exercise price of $5.00 per share in connection with the loan agreement;
·

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Financial Statements of USA Technologies, Inc.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2017 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 set forth below were derived by the application of pro forma adjustments to our consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference herein. This prospectus incorporates by reference our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 6, 2017 (“Merger Agreement”), USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of Cantaloupe Systems, Inc. (“Cantaloupe”) for approximately $85.0 million in aggregate consideration, net of cash acquired (the “Acquisition”) on November 9, 2017 (“Acquisition Date”).

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company paid $65.2 million in cash (“Cash Consideration”) and issued 3,423,367 shares of the Company’s common stock (“USAT Shares”) with a fair value as determined under the Merger Agreement of $19.8 million (collectively, “Merger Consideration”) as consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock, options, and warrants of Cantaloupe. During the third quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company finalized the post-closing adjustment, with respect to Cantaloupe’s net working capital, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. In connection with the final working capital adjustment of $253 thousand, the Company recorded a $232 thousand receivable and cancelled 3,577 of our shares that were held in escrow, with a value of $21 thousand as determined under the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to an Escrow Agreement, 1,496,707 of the USAT Shares, with a value of $8.7 million as determined under the Merger Agreement, were not delivered to the former stockholders or warrantholders of Cantaloupe but are to be held in escrow for a minimum of fifteen months following the Acquisition as partial security for certain indemnification obligations of the former stockholders and warrantholders of Cantaloupe under the Merger Agreement.

In order to partially finance the Acquisition, the Company entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Financing” and together with the Acquisition, the “Transactions”), as the lender and administrative agent for the lender, pursuant to which the JPMorgan Chase Bank (i) made a $25.0 million term loan to the Company (“Term Loan”) and (ii) provided the Company with a revolving line of credit (“Line of Credit”) under which the Company may borrow revolving credit loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $12.5 million at any time.  The proceeds of the Term Loan ($25.0 million) and borrowings under the Line of Credit ($10.0 million), in an aggregate principal amount equal to $35.0 million, were used by the Company to finance a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Cantaloupe and repay the Company’s existing indebtedness to Heritage Bank of Commerce (the “Heritage Line of Credit”).

As used herein, the terms the “Company,” “USAT,” “we,” and “our” refer to USA Technologies, Inc., and where applicable, its consolidated subsidiaries. The unaudited combined consolidated pro forma financial statements presented in this SEC Registration Statement Form S-1 (“Form S-1”) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements were based on and should be read in conjunction with:

·
USAT audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of June 30, 2017 and for the year ended June 30, 2017 as reported on Form 10-K;
·
USAT unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of March 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 as reported on Form 10-Q; and
·
Cantaloupe audited financial statements and related notes thereto as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 as contained in our current report on Form 8-K/A dated January 25, 2018.

The Company and Cantaloupe have different fiscal year ends. To meet the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) pro forma requirements of combining operating results for an annual period that ends within 93 days of the end of our latest annual fiscal period as filed with the SEC, we adjusted Cantaloupe’s historical financial information for the year ended December 31, 2016 to include the interim period ended June 30, 2017 and subtracted the comparable interim period ended June 30, 2016. The Cantaloupe revenue and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $10.6 million and $664 thousand, respectively; and, the Cantaloupe revenue and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $8.5 million and $66 thousand, respectively. We combined this Cantaloupe unaudited historical financial information for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 with our fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 financial information to prepare the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations.

As the Transactions occurred on November 9, 2017 and are reflected in the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2018, as set forth in the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheet included in this Form S-1, a pro forma balance sheet is not required to be presented herein. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 and the nine months ended March 31, 2018 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of USAT and Cantaloupe, giving effect to the Transactions as if each occurred on July 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that would have occurred if the Acquisition had taken place on the date specified and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved in the future.
 
The historical combined financial information has been adjusted to give effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The detailed assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial information are contained in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements. Items not adjusted for in the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements include the following:

·
Operating synergies that we may realize as a result of the Acquisition;
·
Any potential impact related to our assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets acquired; and
·
Non-recurring expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the Acquisition, as it relates to the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations.
 
The Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination (in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations) and, as such, Cantaloupe’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their respective fair values. The determination of fair value for the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments. Significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, estimating future cash flows and determining the appropriate discount rate. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Acquisition Date included in the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are provisional and subject to change. Any changes to the final fair values could be material.

USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial results of Cantaloupe from the Acquisition Date through March 31, 2018 were consolidated and included in the Company’s unaudited financial results as of March 31, 2018. Therefore, a pro forma balance sheet is not presented as the balance sheet of USAT as of March 31, 2018 already includes the financial position of Cantaloupe.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 combines the historical year ended June 30, 2017 results for USAT and the historical twelve months ended June 30, 2017 for Cantaloupe to conform to USAT’s fiscal year-end. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 combines the historical third quarter ended March 31, 2018 results for USAT and the historical 131-day results for Cantaloupe beginning July 1, 2017 through November 9, 2017. Subsequent to November 9, 2017, the financial results of Cantaloupe are consolidated with the financial results of USAT in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the period ended December 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations give effect to the Transactions as if each occurred on July 1, 2016.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations do not reflect the non-recurring expenses that we incurred in connection with the Transactions, including fees to financing sources, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, the write-off of deferred financing costs, and other transaction-related costs that will not be capitalized. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations do not reflect the effects of any anticipated cost savings and any related non-recurring costs to achieve those cost savings. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations do not purport to represent our actual results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisitions had taken place on the dates specified, nor are they necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma financial statements includes certain reclassifications to conform the historical financial information of Cantaloupe to our financial presentation as discussed in Note 3, Reclassifications.

NOTE 2. CONSIDERATION TRANSFERRED

USAT completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Cantaloupe on November 9, 2017, upon which Cantaloupe became a wholly-owned subsidiary of USA Technologies. As part of the transaction and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all of the outstanding options and warrants to acquire the stock of Cantaloupe were cancelled.

The fair value of the purchase price consideration consisted of the following:

Total Consideration
 
$
(84,738

(1)
The Cash Consideration is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including with respect to the Company’s net working capital, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. This adjustment was finalized in the third quarter and is identified separately in the table above.
(2)
Represents the stock consideration amount pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement equal to the 3,423,367  USAT Shares issued by the Company, multiplied by the fair market value per share of the USAT common stock, as determined by the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to an Escrow Agreement, 1,496,707 of the USAT Shares, with a value of $8.7 million as determined under the Merger Agreement, were not delivered to the former stockholders or warrantholders of Cantaloupe but are to be held in escrow for a minimum of fifteen months following the Acquisition as partial security for certain indemnification obligations of the former stockholders and warrantholders of Cantaloupe under the Merger Agreement.
(3)
During the third quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a receivable of $232 thousand and cancelled 3,577 of our shares that had been held in escrow with a value of $21 thousand to reflect the final net working capital adjustment, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

NOTE 4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management performed a review of Cantaloupe’s significant accounting policies for the purpose of identifying any material differences and noted an accounting policy difference related to multiple element arrangements, whereby Cantaloupe historically recognized the sale of its cashless payment devices and the related services as one unit of accounting (over the length of the contract) and USAT recognizes these elements as separate deliverables (with equipment sales recognized up-front for outright sales or for leases determined to qualify as sales-type in accordance with ASC 840 Leases).  As a result, the pro forma financial statements include the following adjustments to recognize Cantaloupe revenue related to the sale of equipment up-front:

(d)
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act includes significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, including amendments which significantly change the taxation of individuals and business entities. The Act contains numerous provisions impacting the Company, the most significant of which reduces the Federal corporate statutory tax rate.  For purposes of income tax accounting, a blended tax rate would apply for non-calendar year-end companies for their fiscal periods that include the effective date of the rate change. As such, an estimated income tax rate of approximately 37.0% has been used for the adjustments for the conforming accounting policies for the year ended June 30, 2017, while an estimated income tax rate of approximately 30.5% has been used for the adjustments for the conforming accounting policies for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The estimated income tax rates are based on the applicable enacted statutory rates for the period. The rates are an estimate and do not reflect the Company’s effective tax rates, which include other items and may be significantly different than the rates assumed for purposes of preparing these unaudited pro forma financial statements.

NOTE 6. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS RELATED TO THE ACQUISITION

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements reflect the following adjustments related to the Acquisition:

(a)
Adjustment to record the acquired identifiable intangible assets and related amortization expense. The estimated fair values of developed technology and trade names were determined using the relief from royalty method, a form of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of an asset by quantifying the cost savings derived from owning the asset instead of paying a royalty to license the asset from a third party. The estimated fair value of customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach. The principle behind this method is that the value of the intangible asset is equal to the present value of the after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset only. Contributory asset charges are taken for all other assets that contribute to the generation of the customer relationship’s cash flows. The following tables represent information related to the intangible assets and the related amortization expense:

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

We are authorized to issue up to 640,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and 1,800,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.  As of the date hereof, 900,000 preferred shares have been designated as series A convertible preferred stock, no par value.  As of May 1, 2018, there were 53,670,467 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 445,063 shares of series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding which are convertible into 88,499 shares of common stock.

Common Stock

The holder of each share of common stock:

·
is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including the election of directors.  There is no cumulative voting for directors;

·
does not have any preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase shares, obligations, warrants, or other securities; and

·
is entitled to receive such dividends as the board of directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally available for payment of dividends.

No dividend may be paid on the common stock until all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the series A convertible preferred stock have been paid.  Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive pro rata all of the assets of the Company available for distribution, subject to the liquidation preference of the series A convertible preferred stock of $10 per share, and any unpaid and accumulated dividends on the series A convertible preferred stock which, as of May 1, 2018, was in the amount of $33.69 per share, or a total of $14.99 million.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

The holders of shares of series A convertible preferred stock:

·
have the number of votes per share equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each such share is convertible (i.e., each share of series A convertible preferred stock equals 0.1988 of a vote);

·
are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the vote of the shareholders of the Company, including the election of directors; and

·
are entitled to an annual cumulative cash dividend of $1.50 per annum, payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors.

The record dates for payment of dividends on the series A convertible preferred stock are February 1 ($0.75) and August 1 ($0.75) of each year.  Any and all accumulated and unpaid cash dividends on the series A convertible preferred stock must be declared and paid prior to the declaration and payment of any dividends on the common stock.  Any unpaid and accumulated dividends will not bear interest.  As of May 1, 2018, such accumulated unpaid dividends amounted to $14.99 million.

Each share of series A convertible preferred stock is convertible at any time into 0.1988 of a share of fully issued and non-assessable common stock.  Accrued and unpaid dividends earned on shares of series A convertible preferred stock being converted into common stock are also convertible into common stock at the rate $1,000 per share of common stock at the time of conversion, and whether or not such dividends have then been declared by the Company. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, or upon certain changes of control involving the Company as more fully described in our Articles of Incorporation, the holders of series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive a distribution in preference to the common stock in the amount of $10 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. We have the right, at any time, to redeem all or any part of the issued and outstanding series A convertible preferred stock for the sum of $11 per share plus any and all unpaid and accumulated dividends thereon.  Upon notice by the Company of such call, the holders of the series A convertible preferred stock so called will have the opportunity to convert their shares and any unpaid and accumulated dividends thereon into shares of common stock.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement among us, the selling shareholders and the underwriters, we and the selling shareholders have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each of the underwriters has agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase from us and the selling shareholders  the number of shares of common stock set forth opposite its name below.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, each of the underwriters has agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase all of the shares sold under the underwriting agreement if any of the shares are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.

We and the selling shareholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

The underwriters are offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Commissions and Discounts

The representative has advised us that the underwriters propose initially to offer the shares to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $           per share. After the initial offering of the shares, the public offering price, concession or any other term of the offering may be changed by the representative.
 
The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions and proceeds before expenses to us and to the selling shareholders.

We estimate expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions referred to above, will be approximately $                  . We also have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for $60,000 for their counsel fees. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110, this reimbursed fee is deemed underwriting compensation for this offering.

Pursuant to a financial advisory services agreement, we have retained Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (“Lakehouse”), a FINRA member, to act as our financial advisor in connection with this offering. We have agreed to pay Lakehouse, upon the completion of this offering, a fee of $100,000. The services provided by Lakehouse include customary business and financial analysis. Lakehouse is not acting as an underwriter and will not sell or offer to sell any shares of our common stock and will not identify, solicit or engage directly with any public or institutional investors. In addition, Lakehouse will not underwrite or purchase any of our shares of common stock in this offering or otherwise participate in any such undertaking.

Option to Purchase Additional Shares

We have granted an option to the underwriters, exercisable for 30 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 700,463 additional shares at the public offering price, assuming a public offering price of $11.75, the last reported sale price of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market on May 15, 2018, with an aggregate market value of approximately $8,230,435, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. If the underwriters exercise this option, each underwriter will be obligated, subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, to purchase a number of additional shares proportionate to that underwriter’s initial amount reflected in the above table.

No Sales of Similar Securities

We, our executive officers and directors, and the selling shareholders have agreed not to sell or transfer any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock, for 90 days after the date of this prospectus without first obtaining the written consent of William Blair & Company, L.L.C., on behalf of the underwriters.  Specifically, we and these other persons have agreed, with certain exceptions, not to directly or indirectly:

·
offer, pledge, sell or contract to sell any shares of common stock;

·
sell any option or contract to purchase any shares of common stock;

·
purchase any option or contract to sell any shares of common stock;

·
otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of common stock;

·
request or demand that we file a registration statement related to the shares of common stock;

·
enter into any swap or other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of any shares of common stock, whether any such swap, agreement or transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise; or
 
·
publicly announce any of the foregoing.
 
This lock-up provision applies to shares of common stock and to securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock.

Nasdaq Global Market Listing

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “USAT.”

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit the underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our common stock. However, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of our common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than it is required to purchase in the offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising its option or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase shares through the option granted to it. “Naked” short sales are sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the closing of the offering.

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on The Nasdaq Global Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Neither we, the selling shareholders nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

The underwriters may also engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of shares of our common stock in this offering and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

Electronic Distribution

In connection with this offering, certain of the underwriters or securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic means, such as e-mail.
 
Other Relationships

The underwriters and certain of its affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. One of our directors, Robert L. Metzger, has been employed as a Senior Director at William Blair & Company, L.L.C. since January 2016. Some of the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may in the future engage in investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us and our affiliates, for which they may in the future receive customary fees, commissions and expenses.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers.  Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriters and their affiliates are currently providing investment banking advice to us and may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long or short positions in such securities and instruments.

to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representative; or

  C.
in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, provided that no such offer of shares shall require the Company or the representative to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

Each person in a Relevant Member State who initially acquires any shares or to whom any offer is made will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a “qualified investor” within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive. In the case of any shares being offered to a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, each such financial intermediary will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that the shares acquired by it in the offer have not been acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of any shares to the public other than their offer or resale in a Relevant Member State to qualified investors, as so defined or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the underwriters has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale.

We, the representative and each of our affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements.

This prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of shares in any Relevant Member State will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of shares. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of shares which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Company or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither the Company nor the underwriters has authorized, nor does it authorize, the making of any offer of shares in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Company or the underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer.
 
For the purpose of the above provisions, the expression “an offer to the public” in relation to any shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the shares, as the same may be varied in the Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in the Relevant Member State, and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member States) and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State, and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

ITEM 14.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

Section 1746 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (“BCL”), authorizes a Pennsylvania corporation to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings involving such persons because of their holding or having held such positions with the corporation and to purchase and maintain insurance of such indemnification.  Our By-laws substantively provide that we will indemnify our officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent provided by Section 1746 of the BCL.

Section 1713 of the BCL permits a Pennsylvania corporation, by so providing in its By-laws, to eliminate the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for any action taken unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his office and the breach or failure constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness.  In addition, no such limitation of liability is available with respect to the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or for the payment of taxes pursuant to Federal, state or local law.  Our By-laws eliminate the personal liability of the directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 1713 of the BCL.

As permitted by the BCL, our By-laws provide that directors will not be personally liable, as such, for monetary damages for any action taken unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of a director under the BCL and the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness.  This limitation of personal liability does not apply to any responsibility or liability pursuant to any criminal statute, or any liability for the payment of taxes pursuant to Federal, state or local law.  The By-laws also include provisions for indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the BCL. In addition, the Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers which require the Company to indemnify each of such officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors and officers.  The indemnification agreements also provide that the Company must advance all expenses incurred by the indemnified person in connection with any proceeding, provided the indemnified person undertakes to repay the advanced amounts if it is determined ultimately that the indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 15.
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

During the three years immediately preceding the date of the filing of this registration statement, the following securities were issued by the Company without registration under the Securities Act:

On March 29, 2016, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and other ancillary documents (the “Heritage Loan Documents”) with Heritage Bank of Commerce (“Heritage Bank”), providing for a secured asset-based revolving line of credit in an amount of up to $12.0 million (the “Heritage Line of Credit”). In connection with the Heritage Loan Documents, the Company issued to Heritage Bank warrants to purchase up to 23,978 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time through March 29, 2021 subject to earlier termination in the event of a business combination (as defined in the warrants). The warrants were issued by the Company pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
 
On November 9, 2017, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 6, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, USAT, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Cantaloupe Systems, Inc. (“Cantaloupe”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as Stockholders’ Representative (“Stockholders’ Representative”), the Company acquired Cantaloupe, and Merger Sub merged with and into Cantaloupe, with Cantaloupe remaining as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Company issued 3,423,367 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “USAT Shares”) to each former stockholder and warrantholder of Cantaloupe  (a “Cantaloupe Equityholder”). The offer and sale of the USAT Shares to the Cantaloupe Equityholders was exempt from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The issuance and sale qualified for the exemption because (i) the Company reasonably believed that there were no more than 35 Cantaloupe Equityholders who were not “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) the Company reasonably believed that each Cantaloupe Equityholder who was not an accredited investor, either alone or with such Cantaloupe Equityholder’s purchaser representative, had such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Cantaloupe Equityholder was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the USAT Shares; and (iii) neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf engaged in any general solicitation or advertising in connection with the offer or sale of the USAT Shares.

ITEM 17.
UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

c/o William Blair & Company, L.L.C.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”) and the selling shareholders named in Schedule I hereto (the “Selling Shareholders”) propose to sell to the several Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”) an aggregate of [_____] shares (the “Firm Shares”) of Common Stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company.  The Company has also granted to the several Underwriters an option to purchase up to [_____] additional shares of Common Stock on the terms and for the purposes set forth in Section 4 hereof (collectively, the “Option Shares”).  The Firm Shares and any Option Shares purchased pursuant to this Underwriting Agreement are herein collectively called the “Securities.
 
The Company and the Selling Shareholders hereby confirm their agreement with respect to the sale of the Securities to the several Underwriters, for whom William Blair & Company, L.L.C. is acting as representative (the “Representative” or “you”).
 
1.         Registration Statement and Prospectus.  A registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-224804) with respect to the Securities, including a preliminary form of prospectus, has been prepared by the Company in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations (“Rules and Regulations”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder and has been filed with the Commission.  Such registration statement, including the amendments, exhibits and schedules thereto, as of the time it became effective, including the Rule 430A Information (as defined below), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement.  The Company will prepare and file a prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations that discloses the information previously omitted from the prospectus in the Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations, which information will be deemed retroactively to be a part of the Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 430A Information”).  If the Company has elected to rely upon Rule 462(b) of the Rules and Regulations to increase the size of the offering registered under the Act, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such increase pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Rules and Regulations (such registration statement, including the contents of the Registration Statement incorporated by reference therein is the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement”).  References herein to the “Registration Statement” will be deemed to include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement at and after the time of filing of the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement.  “Preliminary Prospectus” means any prospectus included in the Registration Statement prior to the effective time of the Registration Statement, any prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Rules and Regulations and each prospectus that omits Rule 430A Information used after the effective time of the Registration Statement.  “Prospectus” means the prospectus that discloses the public offering price and other final terms of the Securities and the offering and otherwise satisfies Section 10(a) of the Act.  All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, is deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System or any successor system thereto (“EDGAR”).
 

All references herein to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or a Prospectus shall be deemed as of any time to include the documents and information incorporated therein by reference in accordance with the Rules and Regulations. Any reference to any amendment to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to include any document filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), after the Effective Date and before the date of such amendment that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

-30-

(d)           Notice and Procedures.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses).  In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that if (i) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party or (ii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ a single counsel (in addition to local counsel) to represent all Underwriters who may be subject to liability arising from any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Underwriters under subsection (a) or (b) above, in which event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties and reimbursed to the Underwriters as incurred and the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party. An indemnifying party shall not be obligated under any settlement agreement relating to any action under this Section 8 to which it has not agreed in writing.  In addition, no indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party for all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.
 
-31-

(e)           Contribution; Limitations on Liability; Non-Exclusive Remedy.  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders, as applicable, bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Shareholders or the Underwriters and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  The Company, the Selling Shareholders (in such capacity) and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e).  The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e).  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of each Selling Shareholder under such Selling Shareholder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 hereof, under any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8, or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed the an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions, but before expenses, to such Selling Shareholder from the sale of Securities sold by such Selling Shareholder hereunder received by the Selling Shareholders.  The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that might otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
 
-32-

(f)            Information Provided by the Underwriters.  The Underwriters severally confirm and the Company and each Selling Shareholder  acknowledge that the statements with respect to the public offering of the Securities by the Underwriters set forth under the caption “Underwriting – Commissions and Discounts”, “Underwriting - Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids”, “Underwriting - Other Relationships”, “Underwriting - Selling Restrictions”, and the estimate of the Underwriters’ reasonable out-of-pocket accountable fees and disbursements in connection with the offering of the Securities in the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and in the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning the Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any issuer free writing prospectus.
 
9.         Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery.  All representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company and the Selling Shareholders herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto, and the agreements of the several Underwriters and the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in Section 8 hereof, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person thereof, or the Company or any of its officers, directors, or controlling persons, or any Selling Shareholders or any controlling person thereof, and shall survive delivery of, and payment for, the Securities to and by the Underwriters hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

(b)           Notice of Termination.  If you elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall be notified promptly by you by telephone, confirmed by letter.

Re:      USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”)
 
Dear Sir or Madam:
 
This letter agreement is delivered to you pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by the Company, as issuer, and William Blair & Company, L.L.C., as Representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters named in Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”).  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters intend to effect a public offering (the “Offering”) of common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Shares”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1.
 
The undersigned recognizes that it is in the best financial interests of the undersigned, as an officer or director, that the Company completes the proposed Offering.  For purposes of this letter agreement, the term “Company Securities” shall mean stock, options, warrants or other securities of the Company.
 
The undersigned further recognizes that the Company Securities held by the undersigned are, or may be, subject to certain restrictions on transferability, including those imposed by United States federal securities laws.  Notwithstanding these restrictions, the undersigned has agreed to enter into this letter agreement to further assure the Underwriters that the Company Securities of the undersigned, now held or hereafter acquired, will not enter the public market at a time that might impair the Offering.
 
A-1

Therefore, as an inducement to the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that the undersigned will not (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, announce the intention to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of (collectively, a “Disposition”) any Company Securities, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or any rights to purchase or otherwise acquire, any Company Securities held by the undersigned or acquired by the undersigned after the date hereof, or that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned (collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”), pursuant to the Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the Company’s final prospectus used to sell the Securities in the Offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, inclusive (the “Lock-Up Period”), without the prior written consent of the Representative; (ii) exercise or seek to exercise or effectuate in any manner any rights of any nature that the undersigned has or may have hereafter to require the Company to register under the Act the undersigned’s sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Lock-Up Shares or other securities of the Company held by the undersigned, or to otherwise participate as a selling securityholder in any manner in any registration effected by the Company under the Act during the Lock-Up Period; or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.  The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging, collar (whether or not for any consideration), swap or other transaction that is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a Disposition of Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period, even if such Lock-Up Shares would be disposed of by someone other than such holder.  Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including any put or call option or reversal or cancellation thereof) with respect to any Lock-Up Shares or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Lock-Up Shares.
 
Notwithstanding the agreement not to make any Disposition during the Lock-Up Period, you have agreed that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:
 
  (1)
any grant to or exercise by the undersigned of any option or warrant to acquire any shares of Common Stock or options to purchase shares of Common Stock, pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan or arrangement;
(2)
any transfer of Lock-Up Shares to the “immediate family” of the undersigned or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the “immediate family” of the undersigned;
(3)
any bona fide gift;
(4)
any transfer of Lock-Up Shares by will or intestate succession;
(5)
any distribution or other transfer by a partnership to its partners or former partners or by a limited liability company to its members or retired members or by a corporation to its stockholders or former stockholders or to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such corporation;
(6)
any transfer to the undersigned’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Act) or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned;
(7)
any transfer pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce settlement; or
(8)
any Company Securities acquired in open market transactions after completion of the Offering; provided that, no filing by any party under the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer;
 
A-2

provided that, in the case of any transfer, gift or other disposition pursuant to (2), (3), (4), (6) or (7), the transferee, trust, donee or other recipient agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this letter agreement prior to such transfer and no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than required filings under Section 16(a) and Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act and any filings made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period).  For purposes of this letter agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, nor more remote than first cousin.
 
Furthermore, no provision in this letter agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the transfer of Lock-Up Shares upon the completion of a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company Securities involving a change of control of the Company, provided that (1) the per-share consideration for the Company Securities transferred as described above shall be greater than the public offering price per share in the Offering, (2) all Company Securities subject to this letter agreement that are not so transferred, sold, tendered or otherwise disposed of remain subject to this letter agreement, and (3) it shall be a condition of transfer, sale, tender or other disposition that if such tender offer or other transaction is not completed, any Company Securities subject to this letter agreement shall remain subject to the restrictions herein.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall prevent the undersigned from establishing a 10b5-1 trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“10b5-1 trading plan”) or from amending an existing 10b5-1 trading plan, so long as there are no sales of Lock-Up Shares under such plans during the Lock-Up Period; and provided that, the establishment of a 10b5-1 trading plan or the amendment of a 10b5-1 trading plan shall only be permitted if (i) the establishment or amendment of such plan is not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities Exchange Commission, or otherwise and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding the establishment or amendment of such plan.
 
If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the restrictions imposed by this letter agreement shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed shares of Common Stock the undersigned may purchase in the Offering.
 
It is understood that this letter agreement shall automatically terminate, and the undersigned shall be released from its obligations hereunder, upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company advises the Representative in writing that it has determined not to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) is executed but is terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Securities, or (iii) July 31, 2018, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed by such date.
 
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Lock-Up Shares if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this letter agreement.  This letter agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and the respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Underwriting Agreement.
 
The undersigned understands that the Underwriters are entering into the Underwriting Agreement and proceeding with the Offering in reliance upon this letter agreement.
 
This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

USA Technologies, Inc.
100 Deerfield Lane, Suite 300
Malvern, PA 19355

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-224804) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering the registration of 5,370,213 shares of Common Stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation  (the “Company”). The shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement consist of 4,116,563 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company, 700,463 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an option granted by the Company to the underwriters to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, and 553,187 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the selling shareholders identified in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Shareholders”).

The Common Stock is to be sold by the Company and the Selling Shareholders pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by and among the Company, the Selling Shareholders and William Blair & Company, L.L.C., as representative of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement, the form of which has been filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration Statement.

We are acting as counsel for the Company in connection with the issue and sale by the Company of the Common Stock. We have examined signed copies of the Registration Statement as filed with the Commission. We have also examined and relied upon the Underwriting Agreement, resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, each as restated or amended to date, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed, without independent investigation or verification: (i) the genuineness of all signatures on all agreements, instruments and other documents submitted to us; (ii) the legal capacity and authority of all persons or entities executing all agreements, instruments and other documents submitted to us; (iii) the authenticity and completeness of all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates, and other documents submitted to us as originals; (iv) that all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates, and other documents submitted to us as certified, electronic, facsimile, conformed, photostatic, or other copies conform to authentic originals thereof, and that such originals are authentic and complete; (v) the due authorization, execution, and delivery of all agreements, instruments, and other documents by all parties thereto; and (vi) that the statements contained in the certificates and comparable documents of public officials, officers, and representatives of the Company and other persons on which we have relied for the purposes of this opinion letter are true and correct. As to all matters of fact, we have relied (without independent investigation) upon the truthfulness and accuracy of the representations made in certificates or comparable documents of public officials and officers and representatives of the Company.
 

Based upon and in reliance on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications, and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: (i) the shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company have been duly authorized, and when the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, the final Underwriting Agreement is duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto, and the Common Stock is registered by the Company’s transfer agent and delivered against payment of the agreed consideration therefor, all in accordance with the final Underwriting Agreement, the shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and (ii) the shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Selling Shareholders have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


We express no opinion with regard to the law of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as in effect as of the date hereof.  This opinion letter deals only with the specified legal issues expressly addressed herein, and you should not infer any opinion that is not explicitly addressed herein from any matter stated in this opinion letter.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus that is a part of the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules or regulations of the Commission thereunder.

This opinion letter speaks as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to advise you or any other person with regard to any change in the circumstances or the law that may bear on the matters set forth herein after the date hereof, even though the change may affect the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or other matters in this opinion letter.



 
Very truly yours,
