Item 7.01          Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 16, 2021, the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County, Pennsylvania (the “Court”) entered an order preliminarily approving a derivative settlement and providing for notice of the settlement to shareholders of USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) in the matter captioned D'Arcy et al. v. Herbert et al., Case No. 2021-00638-TT (Chester Cty. C.C.P.). The proposed settlement is subject to final approval by the Court. A settlement hearing is scheduled for March 29, 2021 at 10:30 a.m.  As required by the Court’s order, the Company is hereby furnishing, as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Notice of Proposed Settlement of Derivative Litigation (the “Notice”). As previously disclosed, the proposed settlement consists of a payment of $500,000 in attorney’s fees to the shareholders’ counsel and adoption of various corporate governance reforms. Additional information concerning the terms of the proposed settlement can be found in the Notice and on the Company’s website at https://www.usatech.com/legal/. The contents of the Company’s website shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.

The information contained in this Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 7.01 is being furnished pursuant to the Court's order. This information shall not be deemed to be filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated by reference.

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
