Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously announced, FinTech Acquisition Corp. V (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 16, 2021 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), with eToro Group Ltd. (“eToro”) and Buttonwood Merger Sub Corp. Also as previously announced, concurrently with entering into the Original Merger Agreement, eToro entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors.

 

Under the Original Merger Agreement, each of eToro and the Company had the right to terminate the Original Merger Agreement as of, and the Subscription Agreements were scheduled to terminate automatically in accordance with their terms on, December 31, 2021. Despite the best efforts of the parties, the parties will not have satisfied the requisite closing conditions set forth in the Original Merger Agreement as of December 31, 2021, including the condition that eToro’s registration statement on Form F-4 be declared effective. Accordingly, the business combination contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”) cannot be consummated before December 31, 2021.

 

In order to facilitate the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, on December 30, 2021, eToro and the Company entered into an amendment to the Original Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Amendment” and together with the Original Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreement”). Concurrently with entering into the Merger Agreement Amendment, eToro entered into amendments to certain of its Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Amended Subscription Agreements”).

 

Under the Merger Agreement Amendment, the parties agreed, among other things, to extend the Outside Date (as defined in the Original Merger Agreement) from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 and change the pre-money valuation of eToro from $9.301 billion to $7.906 billion. As such, the estimated implied post-money equity value of eToro is approximately $8.8 billion.1 In addition, the number of Price Adjustment Rights (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that correspond to the $17.50 price trigger issuable to eToro shareholders was reduced on a one-for-one basis for every warrant to be issued to the investors under the Amended Subscription Agreements at the closing of the business combination, as described further below.

 

Under the Amended Subscription Agreements, the relevant parties agreed, among other things, to extend the date on which the Subscription Agreements would have otherwise automatically terminated from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Additionally, the investors party to the Amended Subscription Agreements will receive warrants to purchase common shares of eToro if, following the closing, the eToro closing stock price is equal to or greater than $17.50 over a specified period, which warrants have substantially similar terms to the terms of the Price Adjustment Rights. Under the Amended Subscription Agreements, as of the date of this communication, eToro has received commitments for $441 million in the aggregate.

 

The consummation of the Business Combination remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the effectiveness of eToro’s registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the Business Combination and receipt of the requisite approvals of the eToro shareholders and the Company stockholders.

A copy of the Merger Agreement Amendment and the form of the amendment to the Subscription Agreements comprising a part of the Amended Subscription Agreements are filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 10.1, respectively, and the foregoing descriptions of each of the Merger Agreement Amendment and the form of the amendment to the Subscription Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements as to the expected timing, completion and effects of the proposed business combination, eToro’s present and future plans for its business and operations and eToro’s expectations as to market results and conditions; are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, and on the current expectations of eToro’s and the Company’s management; are not predictions of actual performance; and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the risk that the proposed business combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the proposed business combination; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the proposed merger agreement; the amount of redemption requests made by the Company’s public stockholders; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed business combination on eToro’s business; risks that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations of eToro; potential difficulties in retaining eToro customers and employees; eToro’s estimates of its financial performance; changes in general economic or political conditions; changes in the markets in which eToro competes; slowdowns in securities trading or shifting demand for security trading product; the impact of natural disasters or health epidemics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; legislative or regulatory changes; the evolving digital asset market, including the regulation thereof; competition; conditions related to eToro’s operations in Israel; risks related to data security and privacy; changes to accounting principles and guidelines; potential litigation relating to the proposed business combination; the price of eToro’s securities may be volatile; the ability to implement business plans, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed business combination; and unexpected costs or expenses.

If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual events and results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither eToro nor the Company presently know or that eToro and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual events and results to differ. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect eToro’s and the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. eToro and the Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause eToro’s and the Company’s assessments to change.

(c)Section 8 of the Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the word “and” that appears at the end of Section 8(c), (ii) deleting the reference in clause (d) to “December 31, 2021” and replacing such deleted reference with “June 30, 2022 and” and (iii) adding the following text as a new clause (e): “(e) March 31, 2022, if the Pre-PIPE Waivers have not been obtained from the Majority Investors (as defined in the Advance Investment Agreement)”.

 

2.MFN.

The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Investor, amend any of the Other Subscription Agreements on terms and conditions more favorable to the investor under such Other Subscription Agreement than the terms and conditions of the Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) unless such other terms and conditions are also offered to Investor. Except as expressly set forth in the Advance Investment Agreement (which was on the same terms for each investor under the Advance Investment Agreement), no other investor who has invested in the Advance Investment Agreement or the Other Subscription Agreements has been or will be given any other rights or preferences, whether pursuant to those agreements or any other arrangement, unless those rights or preferences are also equally extended to the Investor; provided that the foregoing does not apply to any rights that may be set forth in a customary management rights letter or rights with respect regulatory and compliance matters (including information rights). In the event of any inaccuracy in, or breach or violation of, this Section 2, Investor shall be entitled to receive the same rights that were granted to other investors under the applicable Other Subscription Agreement.

 

3.Implementation of Certain Terms.

 

(a) Warrants for PIPE Shares. As an inducement to enter into this Amendment, at the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement), in addition to the Shares and without any incremental purchase price, the Company shall issue to Investor warrants to purchase common shares of the Company on substantially the terms set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto; provided that Investor shall have the right to review the form of warrant in advance and the Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by Investor; provided, further that the form of the warrant must be reasonably acceptable to members of the Investor Group (as defined in Exhibit A) whose Subscription Amounts (as defined in the applicable Amended Subscription Agreement) comprise at least 662/3% of the aggregate Subscription Amounts (as defined in the applicable Amended Subscription Agreement) under all the Amended Subscription Agreements.

(b) Waiver With Respect to Pre-PIPE Investment. If Investor is also an “Investor” (as defined in the Advance Investment Agreement) under the Advance Investment Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement), then, pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Advance Investment Agreement, Investor hereby waives, for its own behalf, on behalf of its affiliates (including entities under common control) and on behalf of all “Investors” (as defined in the Advance Investment Agreement), (i) any right to receive any New Warrants (as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto) under Section 3.3(a) of the Advance Investment Agreement and (ii) the right of conversion under Section 3.6 of the Advance Investment Agreement prior to June 30, 2022.

 

(c) Tender Offer. To the extent the aggregate Subscription Amount (as defined in the Amended Subscription Agreements) together with the aggregate subscription amount under any subscription agreements entered into by the Company after the execution of this Amendment (collectively, the “Aggregate Subscription Amount”) is less than $650,000,000, then the Aggregate Tender Offer Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be reduced such that the amount of the Aggregate Tender Offer Consideration is an amount determined by the Company, which may be $0.00 but which shall in no event exceed 46.15% of the Aggregate Subscription Amount.

5.Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Except as expressly amended and/or superseded by this Amendment, the Agreement remains and shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment shall not constitute an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein. Upon the execution and delivery hereof, the Agreement shall thereupon be deemed to be amended and supplemented as set forth herein. This Amendment and the Agreement shall each henceforth be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument, but such amendments and supplements shall not operate so as to render invalid or improper any action heretofore taken under the Agreement. If and to the extent there are any inconsistencies between the Agreement and this Amendment with respect to the matters set forth herein, the terms of this Amendment shall control. References in the Agreement to the Agreement shall be deemed to mean the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

 

(b) Section 9(a), Section 9(g), Section 9(i), Section 9(j), Section 9(k), Section 9(l), Section 9(n), Section 9(p), Section 9(q) and Section 12 of the Agreement are each hereby incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis.

Exhibit A

New Warrant Term Sheet1

 

1.The terms of the Price Adjustment Rights to which pre-Closing shareholders and holders of vested options of the Company are entitled, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the plan that implements the Price Adjustment Rights available at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1493318/000121390021048741/ff42021a1ex10-11_etorogroup.htm (the “Plan”) will be amended to reduce the size of the tranche of 20,000,000 shares that become issuable if the $17.50 stock price threshold is achieved on a one-for-one basis for each New Warrant (as defined below) that is issued.

 

2.Investor and the investors pursuant to the other Amended Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Investor Group”) will receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company (the “New Warrants”), as described below:

 

(a)For every Company common share issued under the Amended Subscription Agreements (including the Agreement), the Company will issue approximately 0.30 New Warrants.

 

(b)Of the number of New Warrants that the Company issues, Investor will be entitled to receive a number of New Warrants that corresponds to Investor’s aggregate investment amount under the Amended Subscription Agreements (including the Agreement) relative to the total number of dollars invested under the Amended Subscription Agreements (including the Agreement).

 

3.The exercise price for the New Warrants will be $0 per share.

 

4.The New Warrants will become exercisable, by the holder of such New Warrants, at any time on or prior to the last day of the 60th month following the Closing Date, only if the Stock Price of the Company common shares is greater than or equal to $17.50 (as adjusted to account for any stock splits, stock dividends, extraordinary dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the common shares of the Company after the Closing) over any 20 Trading Days within any 30 Trading Day period.

 

5.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4 above, if the Company consummates a Change of Control (as defined below), the New Warrants will be automatically exercised immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and the common shares available thereunder shall be deemed purchased by the Investor Group. As used herein, “Change of Control” means a merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization, sale of substantially all assets or shares of, or other similar transaction involving, the Company (each, whether a single transaction or a series of related transactions, a “Transaction”), if the holders of common shares of the Company immediately prior upon the consummation of such Transaction do not, immediately following the consummation of such Transaction, hold at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the surviving or resulting entity in such Transaction.

 

6.The New Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company or any holder of New Warrants.

 

7.The holders of New Warrants will not be entitled to receive any dividends on the common shares underlying the New Warrants unless and until such New Warrants are exercised, at which time the holder will be entitled to dividends on such common shares to the extent such dividends have a record date that is on or after the date of exercise.

 

 

 

1The terms “Stock Price” and “Trading Day” have the same definition as defined in the Plan. Other capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings provided in the Merger Agreement.

 

5

 

 

8.The holders of New Warrants will not have voting rights on the common shares underlying the New Warrants unless and until such New Warrants are exercised, at which time the holder will be entitled to vote such common shares, together with any other common shares it owns.

 

9.The common shares underlying the New Warrants will be equitably adjusted on account of stock splits, stock dividends, extraordinary dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the common shares of the Company after the Closing.

 

10.The holders of New Warrants will receive the same registration rights with respect to the Company common shares underlying such New Warrants (but not with respect to such New Warrants) as set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

11.The terms of the New Warrants can be amended with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least 662/3% of the common shares of the Company issuable upon exercise of all outstanding New Warrants (assuming the full exercise of all such New Warrants); provided that (a) the exercise price, duration, the price at which the New Warrants become exercisable and the acceleration terms cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Company and the holders of all of the New Warrants and (b) any amendment to the terms of the New Warrants that is disproportionately adverse to Investor relative to the other holders of New Warrants shall require the prior written consent of Investor.

 

12.The New Warrants will automatically expire upon transfer or assignment thereof without the prior consent of the Company (except for transfers to permitted transferees, as customarily defined).

 

13.The terms of the New Warrants and any action, suit, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of the New Warrants, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of the New Warrants, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.
