Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025 Form 8-K filed March 10, 2026 File No. 001-37872 Ladies and Gentlemen: At the request and on behalf of our client, Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), we are hereby writing in response to the Staff’s comment letter dated April 28, 2026. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to we, our, us, Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. or the Company in the response below refer to Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. Form 8-K Dated March 10, 2026 General 1. Please present and discuss in your earnings releases and supplemental slide presentations the GAAP measure that is most comparable to the non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS – diluted, with equal or greater prominence. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-K and Question 102.10(a) of our Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
Securities and Exchange Commission May 6, 2026 Page 2 Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that, in the Company’s future earnings releases furnished under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, it will present and discuss GAAP measures that are most comparable to non-GAAP measures with equal or greater prominence. By way of illustration, the Company has included as Exhibit A to this response a redlined version of the earnings release included with its March 10, 2026, Form 8-K revised to present GAAP measures alongside non-GAAP measures. Additionally, the Company will continue to include a reconciliation of its non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in its earnings release and supplemental slide presentation. 2. You adjust for selling, general, and administrative (non-recurring) and salary and employee benefits (non-recurring) in your calculation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS – diluted non-GAAP measures. Please disclose the circumstances under which these expenses were incurred to support your determination that they are non-recurring. Response: The earnings release for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, included a description of “Salary and employee benefits (non-recurring)” items, which represent stock-based compensation settled in cash. The Company’s stock-based compensation is generally non-cash in nature and is added back in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, this one-time cash settlement of stock-based compensation was considered non-recurring and was added back. Similarly, the Company provided a breakdown of “Selling, general and administrative expenses (non-recurring)” to enhance transparency regarding the nature of these expenses. These amounts primarily include legal expenses related to non-recurring litigation and/or transactions (e.g., debt refinancing, mergers and acquisitions), professional, accounting, and consulting fees associated with non-recurring transactions or projects, legal settlements, and other items such as duplicate software costs or contract expenses incurred for non-recurring initiatives (e.g., automation projects), each of which is considered non-recurring in nature. The Company advises the Staff that it will include a description of these expenses in its future filings.
Securities and Exchange Commission May 6, 2026 Page 3 The Staff is requested to direct any further questions regarding these filings and this letter to the undersigned at (404) 885-3721. Thank you. Sincerely, /s/ James Stevens James Stevens Enclosures: Exhibit A

4 Non-GAAP Financial Measures This communication includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that we regularly review to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, prepare financial projections, allocate resources, and make strategic decisions. We believe these non-GAAP measures help to illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to our results of operations and comparability between current and prior periods. We also use these non-GAAP measures to establish and monitor operational goals. However, these non-GAAP measures are not superior to or a substitute for prominent measurements calculated in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the non-GAAP measures are meant to be a complement to understanding measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin The Company's adjusted gross profit metric represents revenues less cost of services (excludes depreciation and amortization). Adjusted gross profit margin is adjusted gross profit divided by revenues. We review these non- GAAP measures to evaluate our underlying profit trends. The reconciliation of adjusted gross profit to its most comparable GAAP measure is provided below: (in thousands) Three Months Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Revenues $ 247,128 $ 227,067 $ 953,009 $ 879,702 Cost of services (excludes depreciation and amortization) (146,882) (143,134) (578,315) (551,621) Adjusted gross profit $ 100,246 $ 83,933 $ 374,694 $ 328,081 Adjusted gross profit margin 40.6 % 37.0 % 39.3 % 37.3 % Depreciation and amortization of revenue generating assets (7,166) (4,467) (21,747) (16,516) Gross profit $ 93,080 $ 79,466 $ 352,947 $ 311,565 Gross profit margin 37.7 % 35.0 % 37.0 % 35.4 %
5 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are performance measures. EBITDA is earnings before interest expense, income tax, and depreciation and amortization expenses ("EBITDA"). Adjusted EBITDA begins with EBITDA but further excludes certain non-cash costs, such as stock-based compensation and the write-off of the carrying value of investments or other assets, as well as debt extinguishment and modification expenses and other expenses and income items considered non-recurring, such as acquisition integration expenses, certain professional fees, and litigation settlements. We review the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA measure to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, prepare financial projections, allocate resources, and make strategic decisions. The reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to its most comparable GAAP measure is provided below: (in thousands) Three Months Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net income $ 8,946 $ 7,220 $ 55,681 $ 24,015 Interest expense 21,961 23,111 90,654 88,948 Income tax expense (benefit) 4,126 3,270 (9,402) 13,266 Depreciation and amortization 20,191 13,811 63,183 58,041 EBITDA 55,224 47,412 200,116 184,270 Debt modification and extinguishment expenses — 1,703 12,514 10,369 Selling, general and administrative (non-recurring) 1,633 1,379 5,718 3,510 Non-cash stock-based compensation(1) 1,187 1,241 8,306 6,118 Non-cash bargain purchase gain(2) (non-recurring) (482) — (3,989) — Salary and employee benefits(3) (non-recurring) 2,501 — 2,501 — Adjusted EBITDA $ 60,063 $ 51,735 $ 225,166 $ 204,267 (1) Excludes stock-based compensation settled in cash subsequent to December 31, 2025. (2) Bargain purchase gain recognized from acquiring Sila, Inc. (3) Represents one time cash settlement of stock-based compensation (non-recurring).
6 Further detail of certain of these adjustments, and where these items are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations, is provided below: (in thousands) Three Months Ended December 31, Years Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Selling, general and administrative expenses (non- recurring): Certain legal fees(1) $ 760 1,347 $ 3,203 2,769 Professional, accounting and consulting fees(2) 869 20 2,092 544 Other expenses, net 4 12 293 197 Litigation settlement — — 130 — $ 1,633 $ 1,379 $ 5,718 $ 3,510 1) These legal expenses primarily relate to litigation matters, mergers and acquisitions, and other transactions (e.g., the ongoing go-private project), all of which are non-recurring in nature. 2) These professional, accounting, and consulting fees are associated with non-recurring projects, including professional fees and incremental audit fees incurred for valuation and audit work related to acquisitions, disposals, and automation initiatives. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (Adjusted EPS) Adjusted EPS is a performance measure. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders by weighted average number shares outstanding for the respective periods. Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders begins with net income attributable to common shareholders adjusted to exclude various items listed below. We believe that Adjusted EPS is a measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing profitability and in analysis of ongoing profitability trends.

Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021, filed March 16, 2022 Form 8-K filed March 16, 2022 Form 8-K filed May 11, 2022 File No. 001-37872 Ladies and Gentlemen: At the request and on behalf of our client, Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”), we are submitting our response to the comments received from the staff (the “Staff’) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “Commission”) Division of Corporation Finance by comment letter dated October 31, 2022, with respect to the Form 10- K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Commission on March 16, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), the Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 16, 2022 (the “March Form 8- K”), and the Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 11, 2022, File No.001-37872. For your convenience, our responses are prefaced by the exact text of the Staff’s comments in bold, italicized text. Form 10-K for the Fiscal year Ended December 31, 2021 Item 1. Business - Overview of the Company, page 3 1. We note that you characterize Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP liquidity measure. We further note on page 4 of Exhibit 99.1 your Form 8-K filed March 16, 2022, that you describe EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP performance measure. Please revise your disclosures to reconcile for consistency. Response: Securities and Exchange Commission November 10, 2022 Page 2 110025275v2 The Adjusted EBITDA is appropriately described as a non-GAAP performance measure in the Company’s filing on the March Form 8-K. Reference to the same as a liquidity measure in the “Item 1. Business - Overview of the Company” section of the Company’s annual report on form 10-K is inadvertent. Accordingly, in response to the Staff’s comment, in our future filings we will replace the discussion around Adjusted EBITDA in “Item 1. Business - Overview of the Company” from Form 10-K with Operating Income which is a GAAP performance measure. 2. Please provide the disclosures required by Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and Regulation G as it relates to your presentation of the non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA. Response: The Company will not include any non-GAAP performance measures in our annual reports on Form 10-K or quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Therefore, disclosures required by item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and Regulation G will not be applicable for those future filings. However, the Company does include certain non-GAAP performance measures (i.e., Gross Profit, Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA) in its press release to investors which is filed on Form 8-K. The required disclosures by Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and Regulation G as it relates to these non-GAAP measures are included therein. The Company will further enhance its disclosures around Gross Profit and Gross Margin (as further described in our response to question 4 below)in its future filings. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Long-Term Debt, page 34 3. We note the Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant in your debt agreements uses Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in the denominator. In prior filings, the debt agreement and related covenant was determined to be material to an investor's understanding of your financial condition and/or liquidity. Therefore, you provided the actual Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant computation (reconciled to GAAP amounts) for the most recent period and for each reconciling item, their nature and how they were derived. The disclosure also included the actual or reasonably likely effects of compliance or noncompliance with the covenant on your financial condition and liquidity. Please tell us why this disclosure has been removed or revise to include the required disclosures. Please refer to Question 102.09 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. Similarly revise your disclosures in your Forms 10-Q and 8- K. Securities and Exchange Commission November 10, 2022 Page 3 110025275v2 Response: On April 27, 2021 the Company entered into a new credit and guaranty agreement (“New Debt Agreement)” which replaced its prior debt agreements. Per this New Debt Agreement, the maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (the “Financial Covenant”) is a springing covenant and is only applicable when the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) exceeds 35% of the limit. In addition, the Financial Covenant is only applicable to the Revolver and there is no Financial Covenant related to the term facility. The Financial Covenants were applicable as of December 31, 2021 as the outstanding balance of the Revolver was $15 million (i.e., 37.5% of the available limit of $40 million). However, considering that the outstanding balance of the Revolver continued to decrease and the Total Net Leverage Ratio remained well within the required limits as per the New Debt Agreement, the covenant was no longer considered a material term of the debt agreement and therefore the disclosure related to the calculation of Total Net Leverage Ratio was removed. Form 8-K Filed May 11, 2022 Exhibit 99.1 Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 2 4. We note your designation of Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin as non-GAAP measures. Please tell us how Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin, as presented, differ from the corresponding GAAP Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin. Response: GAAP defines gross profit as revenue less cost of revenue, and includes in cost of revenue depreciation and amortization expenses related to revenue-generating long-lived and intangible assets. We define Gross Profit as revenue less cost of revenue (excludes depreciation and amortization). This measure differs from the GAAP definition of gross profit as we do not include the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses related to revenue-generating long-lived and intangible assets which represent non-cash expenses. We use this measure to evaluate operating margins and the effectiveness of cost management. In response to the Staff’s comment, we will make following updates in our future filings to enhance our disclosures: • label these measures as Gross Profit (non-GAAP) and Gross Profit Margin (non-GAAP) • include a tabular reconciliation of these two non-GAAP measures to GAAP Gross Profit and GAAP Gross Profit Margin. • update cost of revenue line to “cost of revenue (excludes depreciation and amortization)” Securities and Exchange Commission November 10, 2022 Page 4 110025275v2 These updated disclosures are included in PRTH’s earnings release for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 filed on Form 8-K on November 10, 2022.

At the request and on behalf of our client, Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), we are hereby writing in response to the Staff’s comment letter dated September 10, 2020. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to we, our, us, Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. or the Company in the response below refer to Priority Technology Holdings, Inc.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 51
1. You state on page 33 that the Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant in your debt agreements uses Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in the denominator. If you believe that your debt agreements are material agreements, the covenant is a material term of the debt agreements and that information about the covenant is material to an investor's understanding of your financial condition and/or liquidity, please revise your disclosure to reference Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure, rather than a performance measure, and move the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA disclosure to the liquidity section, where it can be discussed in the context of the Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant in your debt agreements. Please present the actual Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant computation (reconciled to GAAP amounts) for the most recent period only. For each reconciling item, like pro-forma impacts for acquisitions, contracted revenue and savings and other professional and consulting fees, disclose in greater detail their nature and how they were derived. Also, disclose any other material terms of the debt agreements and the amounts or limits required for covenant compliance. Further, disclose the actual or reasonably likely effects of compliance or non-compliance with the covenant on your financial condition and liquidity, including the resulting impact on other credit and/or lease agreements due to cross-default provisions. If some of this information is disclosed elsewhere in the filing, you may cross-reference to that disclosure in lieu of repeating it.

Response:
We believe that our debt agreements are material agreements, that the Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant is a material term of our debt agreements and that there are no other material terms requiring disclosure.
Accordingly, in response to the Staff’s comment, we will move the presentation and discussion for “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” to the liquidity section and coordinate it with the presentation and calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio for the most recent period only in all future Form 10-Q, Form 10-K and Form 8-K filings. We will reference “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” as a liquidity measure in accordance with Question 102.09, but continue to reconcile it to Net Income/Loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as required by the covenant in our debt agreements. Exhibit 1 attached hereto demonstrates what this disclosure will look like in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section under the header "Long-Term Debt.”
The Staff is requested to direct any further questions regarding these filings and this letter to the undersigned at (404) 885-3721. Thank you.

EXHIBIT 1
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Long-Term Debt
As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding long-term debt of $499.9 million compared to $495.5 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of $4.4 million. The debt balance at June 30, 2020 consisted of outstanding term debt of $387.0 million under the Senior Credit Facility and $98.4 million in term debt under the subordinated Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. (the "GS Credit Facility") (including accrued payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest through June 30, 2020). Additionally, under the Senior Credit Facility, we have a $25.0 million revolving credit facility, which had $14.5 million drawn and outstanding as of June 30, 2020. The outstanding principal amounts under the Senior Credit Facility and the subordinated GS Credit Facility mature in January 2023 and July 2023, respectively. The $25 million revolving credit facility expires in January 2022.
The Senior Credit Facility and the subordinated GS Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets, however, the parent entity, Priority Technology Holdings, Inc., is neither a borrower nor guarantor to the Senior Credit Facility or the GS Credit Facility.
On March 18, 2020, we modified the Senior Credit Agreement and the GS Credit Amendment (collectively, the "Sixth Amendment"). As of June 30, 2020, financial covenants, as amended, under the Senior Credit Facility required the Total Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the agreement, not to exceed 7.75:1.00 at June 30, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The Total Net Leverage Ratio steps down thereafter. The Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant is a material term within the Sixth Amendment.
As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with our financial covenants. Noncompliance in the future could have materially adverse impacts on our financial condition, including giving the lenders the right to accelerate the debt repayment schedule and restricting access to the revolving credit facility. Based upon current projections, the Company expects to be in compliance with its debt covenants for at least the foreseeable future. For additional information about the risks associated with our debt agreements and related covenants, refer to the "Risk Factors Related to Our Indebtedness" in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2020.
Total Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Debt, and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are defined in Section 1.01 of the Sixth Amendment (Exhibits 10.3.4 and 10.4.4 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and summarized below:
•
The Total Net Leverage Ratio means, at any date of determination, the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt for such date, to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.
•
Consolidated Total Debt is the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness minus the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash at the balance sheet date.
Page 3
Securities and Exchange Commission
September 24, 2020
•
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is consolidated net income plus any applicable items determined in accordance with clauses (i)(b) through (i)(v) of the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA definition, minus any applicable items determined in accordance with clauses (ii)(a) through (ii)(g) of the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA definition in Section 1.01 of the Sixth Amendment ("Applicable Adjustments").
Under the provisions of the Sixth Amendment, calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA at each interim quarterly measurement period in 2020 is determined as the current year-to-date Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA annualized. For interim quarterly and full year measurement periods commencing in January 2021, calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is determined on a last twelve months basis.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP liquidity measure. For determining the Total Net Leverage Ratio at June 30, 2020, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was calculated as follows in accordance with the referenced clause definitions from Section 1.01 of the Sixth Amendment:
(in thousands)

Dear Ms. Gowetski:
On behalf of our client, M I Acquisitions,
Inc. (the “Company”), we hereby provide a response to the comments issued in a letter dated May 16, 2018 (the “Staff’s
Letter”) regarding the Company’s Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”). Contemporaneously,
we are submitting an amended preliminary proxy statement via Edgar (the “Amended Proxy”).
In order to facilitate the review by the
Commission’s staff (the “Staff”) of the Amended Proxy, we have responded, on behalf of the Company, to the comments
set forth in the Staff’s Letter on a point-by-point basis. The numbered paragraphs set forth below respond to the Staff’s
comments and correspond to the numbered paragraph in the Staff’s Letter.

General
1.
We note you filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A on April 26, 2018. Please revise to update your disclosure
to describe any extension to the time to complete an initial business combination and describe any payments from the founders relating
to the additional extension period.
Response: The disclosure
in the Amended Proxy has been revised to provide that the time to complete a business combination was extended beyond June 19,
2018 pursuant to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, disclosure was added to indicate that no additional consideration
was paid for the extension beyond June 19, 2018, as is currently anticipated. However, as the stockholder vote has not yet taken
place, it is possible that this disclosure will need to be revised based on what actually takes place at the stockholder meeting.
2.
We note your disclosure on page 178 that, after the completion of the business combination, the Sellers “will hold
approximately [91%] of your outstanding shares of common stock, all of which will be issued to the Sellers in a private placement.”
Please tell us the exemption that you will rely upon and specifically explain how this transaction will comply with such exemption.
In addition, please revise your disclosure to disclose the exemption and describe how this transaction will comply with the exemption.
Response: The issuance
of shares to the Sellers by the Company will be conducted in a private placement not involving a public offering in accordance
with Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Specifically, 100% of Priority
Holdings LLC’s equity interests are owned by two entities: Priority Investment Holdings, LLC and Priority Incentive Equity
Holdings, LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”), each of which is an accredited investor as such term is defined under
Regulation D. Thomas Priore and John Priore, each of whom is an officer and director of Priority Holdings LLC, are co-managing
members of Priority Investment Holdings, LLC, which is in turn the non-member manager of Priority Incentive Equity Holdings, LLC,
meaning that Thomas Priore and John Priore collectively share complete voting and dispositive power over the equity interests of
Priority Holdings LLC to be transferred in connection with the transaction, and in turn will retain a similar level of control
over the securities to be received by the Sellers in exchange for such equity interests. Both Thomas Priore and John Priore qualify
as accredited investors under Regulation D. In addition, the Company engaged in no activities that could be viewed as involving
a general solicitation in connection with negotiating the terms of the business combination with the Sellers. As a result, notwithstanding
the large number of shares being issued, because the Company’s shares of common stock are being issued to only two entities
that both qualify as accredited investors, and that are in turn controlled by two individuals who likewise qualify as accredited
investors, the business combination is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2), since it
is the issuance of shares by the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering. The disclosure on page 184 of the Amended
Proxy has been revised to include disclosure of the exemption relied upon.

We note that you did not obtain a fairness opinion regarding the acquisition of Priority. Please revise your disclosure
in this section to explain in detail how the board determined that the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby,
including the compensation to be paid to acquire Priority, is fair and in the best interests of M I Acquisitions and its stockholders.
In addition, please revise your risk factor on page 41 to more specifically describe the risks of not obtaining a fairness opinion.
Response: The disclosure
on pages 15-16 and 42 of the Amended Proxy has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comments.
Risk Factors, page 24
Priority’s Executive
Chairman, Thomas Priore, is presently subject to an SEC civil order..., page 35

We note your disclosure that Thomas Priore is presently subject to an SEC civil order barring him from certain activities.
Please revise to briefly describe the actions that resulted in the SEC civil order and how the order may impact Priority’s
ability to take certain actions following the business combination.
Response: The disclosure
on page 36 of the of the Amended Proxy has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comments. In addition, other than
as presently disclosed in the Amended Proxy, neither the Company nor Priority believes that the SEC order relating to Mr. Priore
will otherwise have a material impact on the Company's operations subsequent to completion of the business combination, as neither
Priority, nor similar companies operating within the payment processing industry, typically control or otherwise operate in a manner
so as to subject them to regulation as a broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer or transfer agent.

Please revise to more specifically identify the individuals that have different interests in the business combination and
quantify such interests. In addition, please revise to more specifically describe the out-of-pocket expenses and reimbursements
and the liabilities references in the last bullet point.
Response: The first
and second bullet points on page 64 of the Amended Proxy have been revised to provide additional information about how many shares
each of the Company’s officers and directors has an interest in and the nature of the outstanding expenses. Because the Company
has obtained a waiver from each of its vendors that is currently owed money by the Company, the Company does not believe that it
has any specific liability to disclose in connection with the third bullet point, although it remains a potential liability and
therefore a conflict of interest.

Response:
The disclosure on pages 27-28 of the Amended Proxy has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comments. In addition,
while the vendors referenced in the revised disclosure are anticipated to represent a significant portion of the combined company’s
processing volume subsequent to completion of the business combination, Priority believes that there are other vendors of similar
scale that can provide substantially similar services to Priority at comparable rates, if necessary.

We note your disclosure that you believe that M I Acquisitions, Inc. will have sufficient future taxable income to absorb
the net loss carryovers (NOLS) before their expiration and that you have taken a full valuation allowance on these NOLS. Please
clarify whether your conclusion to take the full valuation allowance was based upon a “more likely than not model”
and generally explain your position in more detail.
Response: The Company
evaluates deferred tax assets quarterly in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10-30 to assess the likelihood of realization, which is
ultimately dependent upon generating future taxable income prior to the expiration of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards. The
Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for
the valuation allowance.
As a result of this
assessment, the Company determined it “more likely than not” that these net U.S. deferred tax assets would not be
realized in the future and therefore, a full valuation allowance was recorded at December 31, 2017.
The disclosure on page F-31
of the Amended Proxy has been revised to provide as follows:
The Company has a net operating
loss (“NOL”) of approximately $243,100. These NOLs, if not utilized, expire beginning in 2035. The ultimate realization
of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences
representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information
available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets
and determined it was more likely than not that they will not realize the tax asset and has therefore established a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2017.

We note that you have used sum of the year’s digits and double declining methodologies for amortizing customer relationships
and merchant portfolios, respectively. Please tell us how you were reliably able to attribute these amortization methodologies
to the pattern in which the economic benefits of these respective intangible assets are consumed. Please cite the accounting literature
that you have relied upon.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and respectfully submits that Priority's determination of the amortization policy follows the guidance in ASC 350-30-35-6,
which requires that a recognized intangible asset be amortized over its useful life and that the method of amortization reflect
the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up. Priority’s customer
relationships include mainly economic rights to future residual payments (i.e., amounts due to ISOs and ISAs on the processing
volume of Priority's merchant customers), for the portfolio of customers, while its merchant portfolios include merchant contracts
acquired through business, asset and new relationship acquisitions. In general, the utility of these assets is greater in the beginning
of their lives and deteriorates over time. For this reason Priority has determined that the accelerated amortization methodologies
reflect the period of economic benefit, based on attrition rates for these business relationships. Priority’s approach is
consistent with practice in the credit card processing industry, where customer intangibles are typically amortized on an accelerated
basis.
Jennifer Gowetski

Page 6
Priority typically determines the appropriate
accelerated amortization methodology to apply at the time of acquisition of a specific customer relationship or merchant
portfolio based on one or more of the following factors: third-party valuation reports, the nature of the contractual
arrangements, historic attrition rates relating to similar customer relationships or merchant portfolios, the historic
relationship with the relevant reseller, and attrition rates of the credit card processing industry generally. During the
acquisition of new customer relationships and merchant portfolios, Priority typically prepares cash flow projections based on
one or more of the aforementioned factors. For example, Priority has found that annual attrition rates for acquired customer
relationships and merchant portfolios accelerate over time. The business relationships that comprise Priority’s
customer relationships and merchant portfolios carry varying degrees of risk, which may lead to a deviation in underlying
merchant and transaction processing attrition rates. Additionally, analyses of Priority ‘s merchant portfolio and
customer relationship intangible assets generally indicate that a portfolio will earn between 40%-65% of its total earning
potential in less than half of its useful life, indicating that the earlier years drive a greater proportional share of its
economic benefit than the later years. Priority applies the aforementioned accelerated methods of amortization in an
effort to match the percentage of asset value amortized over the asset’s life to the economic value generated by the
asset over the same period. Accordingly, Priority determined that the aforementioned accelerated methods of amortization
reliably match the patterns in which the economic benefits of these assets are consumed.

Re: M

Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
Submitted October 13, 2015
CIK No. 0001653558
Dear
Mr. Reynolds:
On
behalf of our client, M I Acquisitions, Inc. (the “Company”), we hereby provide a response to the comments issued
in a letter dated November 9, 2015 (the “Staff’s Letter”) regarding the Company’s draft Registration Statement
on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”). Contemporaneously, we are submitting the Registration Statement via Edgar
(the “Amended S-1”).
In
order to facilitate the review by the Commission’s staff (the “Staff”) of the Registration Statement, we have
responded, on behalf of the Company, to the comments set forth in the Staff’s Letter on a point-by-point basis. The numbered
paragraphs set forth below respond to the Staff’s comments and correspond to the numbered paragraph in the Staff’s
Letter.
General
1. Please
supplementally provide us with copies of all written communications, as defined in Rule
405 under the Securities Act, that you, or anyone authorized to do so on your behalf,
present to potential investors in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act, whether
or not they retain copies of the communications.
Response:
Neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf has had any written communications with potential investors relating
to the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement. If any such communications are made in reliance on Section 5(d), the
Company will provide a copy of such communications to the Staff.
2. We
note your disclosure that you may seek stockholder approval of your initial business
combination at a meeting called for such purposes. We also note your disclosure that
the insiders have agreed to vote their insider shares, private shares, and any public
shares acquired in favor of any proposed business combination. Please disclose the number
and percentage of shares offered in this registration statement that would be required
to vote in favor of a business combination in order for it to be approved, given that
insiders will beneficially own 23.1% of the issued and outstanding shares after this
offering.
Response:
The disclosure on pages 13 and 55 of the Amended S-1 has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comments.
Risk
Factors
If
we determine to change our acquisition criteria or guidelines . . ., page 20
3. We
note the disclosure in this risk factor. Please revise the disclosure throughout the
prospectus to clarify, if true, that the 80% test would no longer apply if you are delisted
from Nasdaq. In addition, in an appropriate section of the prospectus, please identify
and describe each of the “acquisition criteria or guidelines” that could
be changed and explain the potential impact on investors in your offering. Specifically
discuss the factors you will consider when deciding whether, how or when you may deviate
from these criteria or guidelines. Lastly, please revise to clearly state whether investors
will be given redemption rights to the extent there are any changes to your acquisition
criteria or guidelines. Please provide a discussion of these matters in the prospectus
summary.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the risk factor on page 21 of the Amended S-1 and added disclosure
similar to that contained in the risk factor to page 11 of the Amended S-1. In addition, the Company has included more detailed
disclosure on page 59 of the Amended S-1.
In
addition, the Company has added disclosure on pages 2, 14, 25 and 52 of the Amended S-1 to indicate that if the Company is no
longer listed on Nasdaq it will not need to comply with the 80% test.

Legal
Proceedings, page 63
6. We
note your disclosure that there are no material legal proceedings currently pending or

as such. Please tell us how you determined that the lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court
of New York (Index No. 153480/2015) by Richard Granville and Yippy, Inc. against Mr.
Sason and Magna Group LLC is not material.
Response:
The Company considered whether the suit against Mr. Sason and Magna Group LLC was material to investors and determined that
it was not material because the Company believes that the lawsuit was filed against Magna Group LLC and Mr. Sason in
retaliation for a suit instituted against Yippy, Inc. and Richard Granville by Hanover Holdings I LLC (an affiliate of Magna
Group) due to Yippy’s failure to repay certain promissory notes. The Company further believes that Yippy, Inc. and Mr.
Granville made defamatory statements in the press about Magna Group and Mr. Sason in an attempt to force them to drop the
Hanover suit. Mr. Sason and Magna Group filed a counterclaim for defamation against Yippy and Mr. Granville, to which Yippy
and Mr. Granville did not file a reply. In addition, Yippy and Mr. Granville failed to file replies to certain motions made
by Magna Group and Mr. Sason. Mr. Sason and Magna Group believe that the lawsuit against them is without merit and expect to
prevail in court.

S-1.
