Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

On March 7, 2016, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with FinTech Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), and FTS Holding Corp. (“Target”), pursuant to which the Issuer will acquire Target through a merger of Target with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Persons entered into the Voting Agreement with certain shareholders of Target pursuant to which the Voting Parties agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of the Issuer’s common stock in favor of the Merger. Under the Voting Agreement, each of the Initial Shareholders appointed Jeff Shanahan his, her or its proxy with respect to voting of the Shares reported in this Schedule 13D.

 

The Shares and Units that are held by the Reporting Persons and reported in this Schedule 13D are subject to transfer restrictions (the “Transfer Restrictions”) pursuant to the Letter Agreement the Initial Shareholders entered into with the Issuer on February 12, 2015 (the “Letter Agreement”). These Transfer Restrictions provide that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Shares and Units held by the Reporting Persons are not transferable or salable (i) in the case of the shares, (a) with respect to 20% of such shares, until consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, (b) with respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the common stock exceeds $12.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, (c) with respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the common stock exceeds $13.50 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, (d) with respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the common stock exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination and (e) with respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the common stock exceeds $17.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination or earlier, in any case, if, following a business combination, the Issuer engages in a subsequent transaction (1) resulting in the Issuer’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities or (2) involving a consolidation, merger or similar transaction that results in a change in the majority of the Issuer’s board of directors or management team in which the Issuer is the surviving entity, and (ii) in the case of the Units, including the component securities therein, until 30 days after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination.

 

 

Upon the expiration of the Transfer Restrictions, the Sponsor intends to distribute the Shares and Units held by the Sponsor that are no longer subject to Transfer Restrictions to its members on a pro rata basis. Daniel Cohen, Betsy Cohen, the Trust, James J. McEntee, III and Frank Mastrangelo are each members of the Sponsor and will be entitled to receive 131,105 Shares, 29,707 Shares, 29,707 Shares, 9,218 Shares and 31,107 Shares, respectively, following the expiration of the Transfer Restrictions that will lapse following the consummation of the Merger, if the Merger is consummated.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Merger: (1) the Issuer expects to issue $170,000,000 in Shares to the Target shareholders as a portion of the consideration for the Merger; (2) the Issuer expects to appoint new members to its board of directors; (3) the executive officers of Target are expected to be appointed to serve as executive officers of the Issuer; and (4) the Issuer expects to amend its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as described more fully in the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is included as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Other than as set forth above, no Reporting Person has any plans or proposals which relate to any of the actions set forth in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; however, each Reporting Person intends from time to time to review his, her or its ownership in the Issuer and may, based on such factors as he, she or it deem relevant, seek to acquire additional Shares or other securities of the Issuer, dispose of Shares, or other securities of the Issuer (whether pursuant to a registered offering or otherwise), or take any of the actions set forth in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

As of March 16, 2016, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 3,633,333 Shares in the aggregate, constituting approximately 26.5% of the Shares outstanding. Each Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by virtue of their entry into the Voting Agreement. As a “group”, each Reporting Person may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons.  Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his, her or its pecuniary interest therein.

 

The transactions in Shares by the Reporting Persons during the sixty days prior to the filing of this Schedule 13D are as follows:

 

●           On February 11, 2016, Daniel Cohen sold to Shami Patel, and Mr. Patel purchased from Mr. Cohen, 90,000 Shares at a price of $0.0064 per Share, for an aggregate purchase price of $576.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The disclosure set forth in Items 3 and 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

 

Each of the Initial Shareholders has agreed pursuant to the Letter Agreement to waive their redemption rights (i) with respect to all of their Shares in connection with the consummation of a business combination and (ii) with respect to any of their Shares acquired in the private placements occurring prior to or simultaneous with the IPO if the Issuer fails to consummate a business combination by August 19, 2016 or if the Issuer liquidates prior to August 19, 2016.

 

 

Each of the Initial Shareholders is party to a registration rights agreement with the Issuer dated February 12, 2015 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Initial Shareholders will have the right to require the Issuer to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a sale of any of the Shares held by them. The Initial Shareholders are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, and have “piggy-back” registration rights allowing them to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Issuers. The Issuer will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such registration statements.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2015, between the Issuer and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at a price of $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing on the later of August 19, 2016 or 30 days after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination. The warrants expire five years after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, or earlier upon the Issuer’s failure to consummate an initial business combination by August 19, 2016 or the Issuer’s liquidation or redemption of its common stock.

 

Each of Daniel Cohen, Betsy Cohen, the Trust, James J. McEntee, III and Frank Mastrangelo are members of the Sponsor. The amended and restated limited liability company agreement of the Sponsor (the “Operating Agreement”) provides that, to the extent the Transfer Restrictions lapse, the Sponsor will transfer any Shares and Units to which the Transfer Restrictions no longer apply to its members on a pro rata basis.

 

The Sponsor has committed to loan the Issuer up to $750,000 to fund fees and expenses in connection with the Issuer’s initial business combination. At the option of the Sponsor, any part or all of such loans may be converted into additional warrants at $0.75 per warrant (a maximum of 1,000,000 warrants if the full $750,000 is loaned and that amount is converted into warrants) of the post-business combination entity with an exercise price of $12.00 per Share.
