Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 9, 2023, FinServ Acquisition
Corp. II (the “Company”) and FinServ Holdings II LLC (the “Sponsor”), the sponsor of the Company, entered
into a non-redemption agreement (“Non-Redemption Agreement”) with one or more unaffiliated third party or parties in
exchange for such third party or third parties agreeing not to redeem an aggregate of 400,000 shares of the Company sold in its
initial public offering (“Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting
called by the Company (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and approve an extension of time for the Company to consummate
an initial business combination (the “Extension Proposal”) from February 22, 2023 to August 22, 2023 (the
“Extension”). In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor has agreed
to transfer to such third party or third parties an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company held by the Sponsor immediately
following consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Special
Meeting. In addition, the Company has agreed that, to mitigate the current uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, funds held in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), including any interest thereon, will not be used
to pay for any excise tax liabilities with respect to any future redemptions prior to or in connection with the Extension an initial
business combination or liquidation of the Company. It is estimated that as of February 22, 2023, the pro rata portion of the funds
available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public shares will be approximately $10.15 per share (which may be adjusted
prior to redemptions for future deductions, tax withholdings and accrued interest).
The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood
that the Extension Proposal is approved by Company stockholders but are expected to increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s
Trust Account following the Special Meeting. The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed herein as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein
by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Company has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent with a
potential target company in the financial services sector for an initial business combination between the Company and such potential target
company (the “Proposed Transaction”).
Participants in the Solicitation
The Company and its directors and executive officers and other persons
may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in respect of the Extension. Information
regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is available in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description
of their direct and indirect interests are contained in the Proxy Statement (defined below).
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation
of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities
shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Additional Information
The Company has filed with the SEC definitive proxy statement for the
Special Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”) to consider and vote upon the Extension and other matters and, beginning on January
31, 2023, mailed the Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders as of the January 20, 2023 record date for the Special
Meeting. The Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the Proxy Statement and any other relevant
documents that have been or will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for the Special
Meeting because these documents will contain important information about the Company, the Extension and related matters. Stockholders
may also obtain a free copy of the Proxy Statement, as well as other relevant documents that have been or will be filed with the SEC,
without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to Advantage Proxy, Inc.

NON-REDEMPTION AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT OF ECONOMIC
INTEREST
This Non-Redemption Agreement and Assignment of
Economic Interest (this “Agreement”) is entered as of February [●], 2023 by and among FinServ Acquisition Corp.
II (the “Company”), FinServ Holdings II LLC (the “Sponsor”) and the undersigned investor
(“Investor”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Sponsor currently holds shares
of Class A common stock, which were issued upon conversion of the Class B common stock initially purchased in a private placement prior
to the Company’s initial public offering (together with the one share of Class B common stock held by the Sponsor, the “Founder
Shares”);
WHEREAS, the Company expects to hold a special
meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”) for the purpose of approving, among other things, an amendment to the Company’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate
an initial business combination (the “Initial Business Combination”) for six additional months until August 22, 2023
(the “Extension”);
WHEREAS, the Charter provides
that a stockholder of the Company may redeem its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, initially sold as part of the units
in the Company’s initial public offering (whether they were purchased in our initial public offering or thereafter in the open market)
(the “Public Shares” and together with the Founder Shares, the “Common Stock”) in connection with
the Charter amendment, on the terms set forth in the Charter (“Redemption Rights”);
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Sponsor desires to transfer to Investor, and Investor desires to acquire from the Sponsor, that number of Founder
Shares set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A (the “Assigned Securities”), to be transferred
to Investor in connection with the Company’s completion of its Initial Business Combination, and, prior to the transfer of the Assigned
Securities to Investor, the Sponsor desires to assign the economic benefits of the Assigned Securities to Investor.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of
the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, Investor and the Sponsor hereby agree as follows:
| 1.1. | Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Sponsor agrees that if (a) as of 5:00 PM, New York time, on the
date of the Meeting, Investor holds the Investor Shares (as defined below), (b) Investor does not exercise its Redemption Rights with
respect to such Investor Shares in connection with the Meeting, and (c) the Extension is approved
at the Meeting and is effected by the Company’s filing with the Secretary of the State of Delaware of an amendment to the Charter,
then the Sponsor hereby agrees to assign to Investor for no additional consideration the Assigned Securities set forth on Exhibit A,
and the Sponsor agrees to assign to Investor the Economic Interest (as defined below) associated with the Assigned Securities that the
Sponsor has agreed to assign to Investor. “Investor Shares” shall mean the lesser of (i) 400,000 Public Shares, and (ii) 9.9%
of the Public Shares that are not to be redeemed, including those Public Shares subject to non-redemption agreements with other the Company
stockholders similar to this Agreement on or about the date of the Meeting. The Sponsor and the Company agree to provide Investor with
the final number of Investor Shares subject to this Agreement no later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern on the first business day following the
date of the Meeting. |
| 1.2. | The Sponsor and Investor hereby agree that the assignment of the Assigned Securities shall be subject to the conditions that (i) the
Initial Business Combination is consummated; and (ii) Investor (or its permitted transferees (as described in the Letter Agreement (the

on the date hereof, the “Letter Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company,
and the other stockholders of the Company signatory thereto, as described in Section 1.8 hereof. |
Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing
conditions, as applicable, the Sponsor shall promptly transfer the Assigned Securities to Investor (or its Permitted Transferees). The
Sponsor covenants and agrees to facilitate such transfer to Investor (or its Permitted Transferees) in accordance with the foregoing.
| 1.3. | Adjustment to Share Amounts. If at any time the number of outstanding Founder Shares is increased or decreased by a consolidation,
combination, subdivision or reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company or other similar event (other than the conversion of Founder
Shares to shares of Class A common stock in accordance with the Company’s Charter), then, as of the effective date of such consolidation,
combination, subdivision, reclassification or similar event, all share numbers referenced in this Agreement shall be adjusted in proportion
to such increase or decrease in the Common Stock. |
| 1.4. | Merger or Reorganization, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which its Common Stock are converted into or exchanged for
securities, cash or other property, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or
merger, in lieu of common stock of the Company, the Sponsor shall transfer, with respect to each Founder Share to be transferred
hereunder, upon the Sponsor’s receipt thereof, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which
such Assigned Securities converted or exchanged. |
| 1.5. | Forfeitures, Transfers, etc. Investor shall not be required to forfeit or transfer the Assigned Securities. Investor acknowledges
that, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Sponsor (as it exists on the date hereof, the “Sponsor
LLC Agreement”), prior to, or at the time of, the Initial Business Combination, the managing member(s) of the Sponsor (the “Managers”)
have the authority to cause the Sponsor to subject the Founder Shares to earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers or other restrictions, or amend
the terms under which the Founder Shares were issued or any restrictions or other provisions relating to the Founder Shares set forth
in the instruments establishing the same (including voting in favor of any such amendment) or enter into any other arrangements with respect
to the Founder Shares, and that the Managers are authorized to effectuate such earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers, restrictions, amendments
or arrangements, including arrangements relating to the relaxation or early release of restrictions, in such amounts and pursuant to such
terms as they determine in their sole and absolute discretion for any reason. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that any such earn-outs,
forfeitures, transfers, restrictions, amendments or arrangements shall apply only to the Founder Shares other than the Assigned Securities
and the terms and conditions applicable to the Assigned Securities shall not be changed as a result of any such earn-outs, forfeitures,
transfers, restrictions, amendments or arrangements. |
| 1.6. | Delivery of Shares; Other Documents. At the time of the transfer of Assigned Securities hereunder, the Sponsor shall deliver
the Assigned Securities to Investor by transfer of book-entry shares effected through the Company’s transfer agent. The parties
to this Agreement agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary
or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. |
| 1.7. | Assignment of Registration Rights. Concurrent with the transfer of Assigned Securities to Investor under this Agreement, the
Sponsor hereby assigns all of its rights, duties and obligations to Investor with respect to the Assigned Securities under that certain
Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 17, 2021 (as it exists on the date of the Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreement”),
by and among the Company, the Sponsor, and the other stockholders of the Company signatory thereto, and hereby represents and confirms
to Investor that, upon Investor’s receipt of the Assigned Securities, (i) Investor shall be a “Holder” under the Registration
Rights Agreement and (ii) the Assigned Securities shall be “Registrable Securities” under the Registration Rights Agreement.
The Sponsor shall provide written notice to the Company of such assignment in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. Investor
shall provide to the Company a written agreement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement agreeing to be bound by the terms
and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as a “Holder” thereunder with respect to the Assigned Securities (upon acquisition thereof)
as “Registrable Securities” thereunder. |
| 1.8. | Joinder to Letter Agreement. In connection with the transfer of the Assigned Securities to Investor, Investor shall execute
a joinder to the Letter Agreement in substantially the form attached here to as Exhibit B (the “Joinder”) pursuant

Securities and by the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as a “Holder” thereunder with respect to the
Assigned Securities (upon acquisition thereof) as “Registrable Securities” thereunder. |
| 1.9. | Termination. This Agreement and each of the obligations
of the undersigned shall terminate on earlier of (a) the failure of the Company’s stockholders
to approve the Extension at the Meeting, or the determination of the Company not to proceed
to effect the Extension, (b) the fulfillment of all obligations of parties hereto, (c) the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, (d) the mutual written agreement of the parties
hereto; or (e) if Investor exercises its Redemption Rights with respect to any Investor Shares
in connection with the Meeting and such Redemption Rights are not withdrawn by the date of
the Meeting. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sponsor’s
obligation to transfer the Assigned Securities to Investor shall be conditioned on (i) the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.2 and (ii) Investor not exercising
its Redemption Rights with respect to such Investor Shares in connection with the Meeting. |
| 2. | Assignment of Economic Interest. |
| 2.1. | Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.1, the Sponsor hereby assigns to Investor all of its economic right, title
and interest in and to that number of Assigned Securities set forth on Exhibit A (the “Economic Interest”),
subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.3. The Economic Interest represents the Sponsor’s right to receive dividends and
other distributions made by the Sponsor pursuant to the Sponsor LLC Agreement allocated to that number of Assigned Securities set forth
on Exhibit A represented by the Founder Shares held directly by the Sponsor. |
| 2.2. | Investor acknowledges and agrees that it is not a member of the Sponsor, it has no right to vote on matters of the Sponsor as a result
of the Assigned Securities or Economic Interest, or to vote with respect to any Assigned Securities, and it has no right to vote Assigned
Securities prior to transfer of any such shares to Investor pursuant to this Agreement. |
| 2.3. | Investor acknowledges and agrees that if it has a right pursuant to its Economic Interest to receive any dividends or other distributions
paid in Common Stock or other non-cash property that is subject to the transfer restrictions and/or lockup period set forth in Section
7(a) of the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor shall transfer all of its right, title and interest in such dividends or distributions concurrently
with the transfer of the Assigned Securities to such Investor pursuant to Section 1. |
| 2.4. | If the conditions to the transfer of the Founder Shares in Section 1 are not satisfied with respect to any Founder Shares, then Investor
shall automatically assign its Economic Interests in such Founder Shares back to the Sponsor, for no consideration. |
| 3. | Representations and Warranties of Investor. Investor represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Sponsor that: |
| 3.1. | No Government Recommendation or Approval. Investor understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or
made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Assigned Securities. |
| 3.2. | Accredited Investor. Investor is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation
D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and acknowledges that the sale contemplated

Securities Act and similar exemptions under state law. |
| 3.3. | Intent. Investor is acquiring the Assigned Securities solely for investment purposes, for such Investor’s
own account (and/or for the account or benefit of its members or affiliates, as permitted), and not with a view to the distribution thereof

except as may be permitted hereunder. |
| 3.4. | Restrictions on Transfer; Trust Account; Redemption Rights. |

right, interest or claim of any kind in or to, any monies held in the trust account into which the proceeds of the Company’s

Trust Account. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and subject to the provisions of Section 3.4.3 below, Investors

exercise any right to redeem, the Investor Shares and to reverse and revoke any prior redemption elections made with respect to the Investor

pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (B) pursuant
to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, or (C) pursuant to any other
available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities
laws of any state or any other jurisdiction. Investor agrees that, if any transfer of the Assigned Securities or any interest
therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Investor may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion

is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Assigned Securities for an indefinite period of time and able to sustain a
complete loss of such investment. |

with the business, operations and financial condition of the Company and has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers
from the Company’s management concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the proposed sale of the Assigned Securities
and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as Investor has requested. Investor confirms that all documents
that it has requested have been made available and that Investor has been supplied with all of the additional information concerning this
investment which Investor has requested. |
| 3.9. | Organization and Authority. If any entity, Investor is duly organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction

that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may
be relevant to the acquisition, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Assigned Securities. Investor’s subscription and payment
for and continued beneficial ownership of the Assigned Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Investor’s
jurisdiction. |

enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium, reorganization, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights
and remedies or by equitable principles of general application and except as enforcement of rights to indemnity and contribution may be

any agreement or instrument to which Investor is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which Investor is subject, or
any order, judgment or decree to which Investor is subject, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), that would reasonably be expected to
prevent Investor from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement. |

the laws and regulations of various states, and that the Sponsor is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Investor set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such
provisions. |

| 12. | Disclosure; Waiver. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than one business day, after execution of this Agreement,
the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
reporting the execution of this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with one another to assure that such disclosure
is accurate. The Company agrees that the name of the investor shall not be included in any public disclosures related to this Agreement
unless required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. Investor
(i) acknowledges that the Sponsor may possess or have access to material non-public information which has not been communicated to the
Investor; (ii) hereby waives any and all claims, whether at law, in equity or otherwise, that he, she, or it may now have or may hereafter
acquire, whether presently known or unknown, against the Sponsor or any of the Company’s officers, directors, employees, agents,
affiliates, subsidiaries, successors or assigns relating to any failure to disclose any non-public information in connection with the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including any potential business combination involving the Company, including without limitation,
any claims arising under Rule 10-b(5) of the Exchange Act; and (iii) is aware that the Sponsor is relying on the truth of the representations
set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement and the foregoing acknowledgement and waiver in this Section 12, in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. |
| 13. | Independent Nature of Rights and Obligations. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any party pursuant hereto, shall
be deemed to constitute Investor and the Sponsor as, and the Sponsor acknowledges that Investor and the Sponsor do not so constitute,
a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Investor and the Sponsor are
in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
matters, and the Sponsor acknowledges that Investor and the Sponsor are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Sponsor shall not
assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. |
| 14. | Most Favored Nation. In the event the Sponsor enters one or more other non-redemption agreements before or after the execution
of this Agreement in connection with the Meeting, the Sponsor represents that the terms of such other agreements are not materially more
favorable to such other investors thereunder than the terms of this Agreement are in respect of the Investor. In the event that another
investor is afforded any such more favorable terms than the Investor, the Sponsor shall promptly inform the Investor of such more favorable
terms in writing, and the Investors shall have the right to elect to have such more favorable terms included herein, in which case the
parties hereto shall promptly amend this Agreement to effect the same. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties
hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.

EXHIBIT B
FORM OF JOINDER
TO
LETTER AGREEMENT
AND
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
______, 20_
Reference is made to that certain Non-Redemption Agreement and
Assignment of Economic Interest, dated as of , 2023 (the “Agreement”), by and among (“Investor”),
FinServ Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) and FinServ Holdings II LLC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant
to which Investor acquired securities of the Company from the Sponsor. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.
By executing this joinder, Investor hereby agrees,
as of the date first set forth above, that Investor (i) shall become a party to that certain Letter Agreement, dated February 17, 2021
(as it exists on the date of the Agreement, the “Letter Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Sponsor, officers
and directors of the Company, and the other stockholders of the Company signatory thereto, solely with respect to Section 7(a) of the
Letter Agreement, and shall be bound by, and shall be subject to the restrictions set forth under, the terms and provisions of such section
of the Letter Agreement as an Insider (as defined therein) solely with respect to its Assigned Securities; and (ii) shall become a party
to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 17, 2021 (as it exists on the date of the Agreement, the “Registration
Rights Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Sponsor, and the other stockholders of the Company signatory thereto, and
shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as an Investor (as defined therein) and entitled
to the rights of an Investor under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Assigned Securities (together with any other equity security
of the Company issued or issuable with respect to any such Assigned Securities by way of a share dividend or share subdivision or in connection
with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization) shall be “Registrable Securities”
thereunder.
For the purposes of clarity, it is expressly understood
and agreed that each provision contained herein, in the Letter Agreement (to the extent applicable to Investor) and the Registration Rights
Agreement is between the Company and Investor, solely, and not between and among Investor and the other stockholders of the Company signatory
thereto.
This joinder may be executed in two or more counterparts,
and by facsimile, all of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
