The Even Acquisition strengthens MoneyLion’s platform by improving consumers’ abilities to find and access the right financial products to help them manage their financial lives. Even Financial’s growing network includes over 400 Product Partners and 500 Channel Partners, covering a breadth of financial services including loans, credit cards, mortgages, savings and insurance products. The Even Acquisition also expands MoneyLion’s addressable market, extends the reach of MoneyLion’s own products, diversifies its revenue mix and furthers MoneyLion’s ambition to be the premier financial super app for hardworking Americans.

 

At the closing of the Even Acquisition, the Company (i) issued to the equityholders of Even Financial an aggregate of 28,164,811 shares of the Company’s Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, along with an additional 529,120 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to advisors of Even Financial for transaction expenses, valued at $193,647, (ii) paid to certain Even Financial management equityholders approximately $14,514 million in cash and (iii) exchanged 8,883,228 options to acquire Even Financial common stock for 5,901,846 options to acquire MoneyLion Class A Common Stock, of which the vested portion at the acquisition date was valued at $8,963.
