3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On September 21, 2021, Fusion held a Special Meeting (the “Special Meeting”) at which the Fusion stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein (the “Transactions”). On September 22, 2021, the parties to the Merger Agreement consummated the Transactions. 

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 “Legacy MoneyLion Preferred Stock”) converted into shares of Legacy MoneyLion common stock (the “Legacy MoneyLion Common Stock”), par value $0.0001 per share (the “Conversion”), in accordance with Legacy MoneyLion’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. At the Effective Time:

In connection with the Closing, holders of 25,887,987 shares of Fusion’s Class A common stock sold in its initial public offering (the “public shares”) exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a pro rata portion of the proceeds from Fusion’s initial public offering held in the Trust Account (as defined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) plus interest, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, or approximately $10.00 per share and approximately $258,896 in the aggregate (the “Redemptions”). The consummation of the Transactions resulted in approximately $301,062 in cash proceeds to MoneyLion, net of transaction expenses. Following the Redemptions and the issuance of PIPE Shares in connection with the PIPE Financing, 42,862,013 public shares remained outstanding (consisting of 25,000,000 shares held by PIPE Investors, 8,750,000 shares held by the Sponsor and 9,112,013 shares held by Fusion public stockholders). 

Upon consummation of the Transactions:

As of the Closing Date and following the completion of the sale of 25,000,000 shares of MoneyLion Common Stock in the PIPE Financing, MoneyLion had the following outstanding securities:

Conversion of Legacy MoneyLion shares was calculated utilizing the Exchange Ratio of approximately 16.4078 per share of MoneyLion Class A Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”).

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC 805, Legacy MoneyLion is treated as the “acquirer” for financial reporting purposes. As such, Legacy MoneyLion is deemed the accounting predecessor of the combined business, and MoneyLion, as the parent company of the combined business, is the successor SEC registrant, meaning that Legacy MoneyLion’s financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s periodic reports filed with the SEC from here forward. The Business Combination will have a significant impact on the MoneyLion’s future reported financial position and results as a consequence of the reverse recapitalization. The most significant change in MoneyLion’s future reported financial position and results is an estimated net increase in cash (as compared to the MoneyLion’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020) of approximately $301,062. This included approximately $250,000 in proceeds from the PIPE Financing that was consummated substantially simultaneously with the Business Combination, offset by additional transaction costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination. The transaction costs for the Business Combination were approximately $56,638, of which $13,150 represents deferred underwriter fees related to Fusion’s initial public offering. As of September 30, 2021, $11,136 in transaction costs remained unpaid.

The transaction closed on September 22, 2021, and on the following day the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “ML” and “ML WS”, respectively, for trading in the public market.
