Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The shares of Class A Common Stock reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were issued to Edison VIII LP in connection with the completion of the business combination (the “Business Combination”) on September 22, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) as contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 11, 2021 and amended on June 28, 2021 and September 4, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, ML Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), and MoneyLion Technologies Inc., formerly known as MoneyLion Inc. (“Legacy MoneyLion”), a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Issuer and Legacy MoneyLion was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy MoneyLion, with Legacy MoneyLion surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (together with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Merger”). On the Closing Date, the Issuer changed its name from Fusion Acquisition Corp. to MoneyLion, Inc.

 

Immediately prior to the time of filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware upon consummation of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all issued and outstanding shares of Legacy MoneyLion preferred stock (the “MoneyLion Preferred Stock”) converted into shares of Legacy MoneyLion common stock (the “Legacy MoneyLion Common Stock”), after which Edison VIII LP held 1,988,394 shares of Legacy Money Lion Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Legacy MoneyLion Common Stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 32,625,157 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, resulting in the issuance of 32,625,157 shares of Class A Common Stock to Edison VIII LP.

 

In accordance with the terms of Merger Agreement, up to 17,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued at a future date should the Class A Common Stock achieve certain tiered trading price thresholds during the five year period immediately following the Closing Date (the “Earnout Shares”). Edison VIII LP has the contingent right to receive up to an aggregate of 2,810,479 Earnout Shares. Such Earnout Shares are excluded from the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership as reported herein because the Reporting Persons do not currently have the right to acquire any Earnout Shares.

 

 

The securities of Legacy MoneyLion held by Edison VIII LP and exchanged for Class A Common Stock in the Business Combination were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $49,020,540 million. The funds used by Edison VIII LP to acquire the securities of Legacy MoneyLion were obtained from capital contributions by its partners.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

The information regarding the Business Combination set forth in Item 3 above is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference. All of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as reported in this Schedule 13D, were received in connection with the Business Combination.

 

Subject to applicable legal requirements, one or more of the Reporting Persons may purchase additional securities of the Issuer from time to time in open market or private transactions, depending on their evaluation of the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Issuer’s securities, other developments concerning the Issuer, the reaction of the Issuer to the Reporting Persons’ ownership of the Issuer’s securities, other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and general economic, money market and stock market conditions. In addition, depending upon the factors referred to above, the Reporting Persons may dispose of all or a portion of their securities of the Issuer at any time. Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to increase or decrease its holdings on such terms and at such times as each may decide.

 

Other than as described above in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons have any plan or proposal relating to or that would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or terms of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board of Directors of the Issuer; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) any changes in the Issuer’s charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) a class of securities of the Issuer being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.

 

Christopher S. Sugden is a member of the board of directors of the Issuer and also serves as a Managing Member of Edison VIII GP. As a director of the Issuer, Mr. Sugden may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities that may relate to the events described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
