PROXY STATEMENT OF FUSION ACQUISITION CORP.
PROSPECTUS FOR
237,500,000 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK

On February 11, 2021, the board of directors of Fusion Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Fusion,” “we,” “us” or “our”), unanimously approved an agreement and plan of merger, dated February 11, 2021, by and among Fusion, ML Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fusion (“Merger Sub”), and MoneyLion Inc. (“MoneyLion”) (as amended on June 28, 2021 and as it may be further amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). Copies of the Merger Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and Annex G, respectively. If the Merger Agreement is adopted by Fusion’s stockholders and the transactions under the Merger Agreement are consummated, Merger Sub will merge with and into MoneyLion with MoneyLion surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fusion (the “Business Combination”). In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Fusion will be renamed “MoneyLion Inc.” and is referred to herein as “New MoneyLion” as of the time following such change of name.

Under the Merger Agreement, Fusion has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of MoneyLion for $2,200,000,000.00 in aggregate consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid to MoneyLion stockholders shall be (i) shares of Class A common stock of New MoneyLion (valued at $10.00 per share), and, if elected by MoneyLion, cash consideration of up to the lower of (A) the amount (which may be zero) by which the Parent Closing Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exceeds $260,000,000 and (B) $100,000,000, and (ii) the contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of up to 17,500,000 shares of Class A common stock of New MoneyLion (the “Earn Out Shares”). See the “Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination” section for more information. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the election to receive cash will be made after the special meeting of Fusion stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) and prior to the Closing. Consequently, at the time of the Special Meeting, Fusion’s stockholders will not know or be able to determine the amount of cash consideration the MoneyLion stockholders will receive at Closing (if any). See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Fusion and the Business Combination — Because the election by MoneyLion stockholders to receive cash consideration will not occur until after the Special Meeting, you will not know what portion of the merger consideration will be paid in cash to MoneyLion stockholders (if any) prior to casting your vote at the Special Meeting.” for more information.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), the stock consideration to be issued to the then current holders of stock in MoneyLion will be in the form of Class A common stock of New MoneyLion. Assuming none of the holders of MoneyLion options and MoneyLion warrants that are not automatically exercised in connection with the transaction elect to exercise their options or warrants prior to the closing of the Business Combination and MoneyLion does not elect to receive cash consideration, at the Effective Time, MoneyLion equity holders holding such options or warrants, as applicable, are expected to receive, in the aggregate, options to purchase approximately 38,985,776 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 9,148,897 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Fusion entered into certain subscription agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase, immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Fusion Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Financing”), for aggregate proceeds of $250,000,000.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of MoneyLion capital stock that is issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time and has not been exercised or terminated pursuant to its terms will be assumed and converted into a warrant exercisable for shares of Class A common stock of New MoneyLion.

In addition, the Merger Agreement contemplates that holders of MoneyLion common stock and certain participating option holders and warrant holders (each, an “Earn Out Participant”, as defined in the Merger Agreement), following the closing of the Business Combination and for a period of five years thereafter, will be eligible to receive the Earn Out Shares, subject to certain price milestones that are more fully set out in the Merger Agreement (each, a “Triggering Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, New MoneyLion will release such Earn Out Shares to the holders of MoneyLion’s common stock, and participating option holders and warrant holders of MoneyLion as of the Closing.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Fusion Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) with Fusion, MoneyLion and Fusion’s directors and officers (the “Insiders”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to vote all

shares of Subject Securities (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement), in favor of the Business Combination, against a business combination not relating to the Business Combination, against any change in the business, management and Fusion board of directors, other than in connection with the Business Combination and against any adjournment proposal, except as permitted pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement. In addition, Fusion, the Sponsor and the Insiders agreed to amend that certain letter agreement, dated as of June 25, 2020, so that the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) applicable to the Subject Securities (other than any Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) held by the Sponsor will end on the earlier of (a) 180 days after the closing date of the Business Combination (the “Closing Date”) and (b) the date on which the closing price of the shares of Class A common stock of New MoneyLion is equal to or greater than $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period; provided that, for purposes of this clause (b), the measurement period for determining the closing price of the share of Class A common stock of New MoneyLion shall commence no earlier than 60 days following the Closing Date. The percentage of outstanding shares subject to the Sponsor Support Agreement is approximately 20% of the voting power of Fusion.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each of the currently issued and outstanding shares of Fusion Class B common stock will automatically convert, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Fusion Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter. Thereafter, in connection with the Closing, each of the then issued and outstanding shares of Fusion Class A common stock will become shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock.

Assuming there are no redemptions of our Class A common stock, the total maximum number of shares of New MoneyLion common stock expected to be issued at the Closing is (i) approximately 220,000,000 shares, assuming MoneyLion does not elect to take any cash as part of the merger consideration at Closing and all of the holders of MoneyLion options and MoneyLion warrants that are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination elect to exercise their options or warrants prior to the closing of the Business Combination, and (ii) approximately 210,000,000 shares, assuming MoneyLion elects to take the maximum amount of cash as part of the merger consideration at Closing and all of the holders of MoneyLion options and MoneyLion warrants that are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination elect to exercise their options or warrants prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

Assuming there are no redemptions of our Class A common stock, MoneyLion does not elect to take any cash as part of the merger consideration at Closing, all of the holders of MoneyLion options and MoneyLion warrants that are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination elect to exercise their options or warrants prior to the closing of the Business Combination and all of the Earn Out Shares have been released to the Earn Out Participants, following the Closing: (i) holders of shares of MoneyLion capital stock (the “MoneyLion equityholders”) are expected to hold, in the aggregate, 237,500,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 77.55% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, (ii) the public stockholders are expected to hold 35,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 11.43% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock, (iii) the Sponsor is expected to hold 8,750,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 2.86% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock and (iv) the PIPE Investors are expected to hold 25,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 8.16% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock.

Assuming there are no redemptions of our Class A common stock, MoneyLion does not elect to take any cash as part of the merger consideration at Closing, all of the holders of MoneyLion options and MoneyLion warrants that are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination elect to exercise their options or warrants prior to the closing of the Business Combination and none of the Earn Out Shares are released to the Earn Out Participants, following the Closing: (i) MoneyLion equityholders are expected to hold, in the aggregate, 220,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 76.19% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, (ii) the public stockholders are expected to hold 35,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 12.12% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock, (iii) the Sponsor is expected to hold 8,750,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 3.03% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock and (iv) the PIPE Investors are expected to hold 25,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 8.66% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock.

Only holders of record of shares of Fusion’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock (collectively, “Fusion Shares”) at the close of business on September 2, 2021 are entitled to notice of and to vote and have their votes counted at the Special Meeting and any further adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting.

We will provide you with the proxy statement/prospectus and a proxy card in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting and at any adjournment of the Special Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to read, when available, the proxy statement/prospectus (and any documents incorporated into the proxy statement/prospectus by reference) carefully. Please pay particular attention to the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

After careful consideration, Fusion’s board of directors has determined that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of Fusion and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of Fusion’s directors and officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what they may believe is in the best interests of Fusion and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Fusion’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” in the proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion.

Under the Merger Agreement, the approval of the condition precedent proposals presented at the Special Meeting is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. The adoption of each condition precedent proposal is conditioned on the approval of all of the condition precedent proposals. If our stockholders do not approve each of the condition precedent proposals, the Business Combination may not be consummated. The Adjournment Proposal and the Advisory Charter Proposals are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Fusion, Fusion Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Sponsor”) and Fusion’s directors and executive officers entered into a sponsor support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) with MoneyLion, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed to vote its shares of Fusion Class B common stock purchased prior to our initial public offering (the “founder shares”), as well as any shares of Fusion Class A common stock sold as part of the units by us in our initial public offering (the “public shares”) purchased by it during or after our initial public offering, in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and all of the other proposals being presented at the Special Meeting. As of the date hereof, our Sponsor owns approximately 20% of our total outstanding common stock.

Pursuant to the Current Charter, a holder of public shares (a “public stockholder”) may request that Fusion redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a public stockholder, and assuming the Business Combination is consummated, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)     (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)    prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on September 17, 2021, (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Fusion’s transfer agent (the “transfer agent”), that Fusion redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent, directly and instruct it to do so. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will not be redeemed for cash. If the Business Combination is consummated and a public stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem its public shares and timely delivers its shares to the transfer agent, we will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account established in connection with our initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per public share. If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the consummation of the Business Combination. If a holder of a public share delivers its shares in connection with an election to redeem and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Fusion instruct the transfer agent to return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “The Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” in the proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Furthermore, Fusion entered into subscription agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Fusion Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Private Placement”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fusion Class A common stock, including the shares of Fusion Class A common stock issued to the PIPE Investors, will become shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock.

All Fusion stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting which will be held in virtual format. You will not be able to physically attend the Special Meeting. To ensure your representation at the Special Meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the proxy card accompanying the proxy statement/prospectus as soon as possible. If you are a stockholder of record holding shares of Fusion Shares, you may also cast your vote at the Special Meeting electronically by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/fusionacquisitioncorp/2021. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote electronically, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank. The Charter Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Fusion Shares, voting as a single class. Accordingly, if you do not vote or do not instruct your broker or bank how to vote, it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Proposal. Because approval of the other proposals only require a majority of the votes cast, assuming a quorum is established at the Special Meeting, if you do not vote or do not instruct your broker or bank how to vote, it will have no effect on these other proposals because such action would not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting or not, please sign, date and return the proxy card accompanying the proxy statement/prospectus as soon as possible in the envelope provided. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

If you have any questions or need assistance voting your common stock, please contact Morrow Sodali LLC, our proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200, or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing FUSE.info@investor.morrowsodali.com. This notice of Special Meeting is and the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination will be available at

Net Promotor Score gives no weight to customers who decline to answer the survey question.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE SPECIAL MEETING

The following are answers to certain questions that you may have regarding the Business Combination and the Special Meeting. Fusion urges you to read carefully the remainder of this document because the information in this section may not provide all the information that might be important to you in determining how to vote. Additional important information is also contained in the appendices to, and the documents incorporated by reference in, this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:     Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A:     Fusion is proposing to consummate the Business Combination with MoneyLion. Fusion, Merger Sub and MoneyLion, have entered into the Merger Agreement, the terms of which are described in this proxy statement/ prospectus. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A. Fusion urges its stockholders to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety.

The Merger Agreement must be adopted by the Fusion Stockholders in accordance with the DGCL and the Current Charter. Fusion is holding a Special Meeting to obtain that approval. Fusion Stockholders will also be asked to vote on certain other matters described in this proxy statement/prospectus at the Special Meeting and to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement and thereby approve the Business Combination.

THE VOTE OF FUSION STOCKHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. FUSION STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO SUBMIT THEIR PROXIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND CAREFULLY CONSIDERING EACH OF THE PROPOSALS BEING PRESENTED AT THE MEETING.

Q:     Why is Fusion proposing the Business Combination?

A:     Fusion was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses.

Based on its due diligence investigations of MoneyLion and the industries in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by MoneyLion in the course of Fusion’s due diligence investigations, the Fusion Board believes that the Business Combination with MoneyLion is in the best interests of Fusion and its stockholders and presents an opportunity to increase stockholder value. However, there can be no assurances of this.

Although the Fusion Board believes that the Business Combination with MoneyLion presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of Fusion and its stockholders, the board of directors did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion. See “The Business Combination Proposal — The Fusion Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination” for a discussion of the factors considered by the Fusion Board in making its decision.

Q:     What is MoneyLion?

A:     MoneyLion Inc. is an all-in-one, digital financial platform that provides convenient, low-cost access to banking, borrowing and investing solutions tailored for its customers, rooted in data, and delivered through its proprietary technology platform. MoneyLion addresses its customers from a data-driven perspective of the individual and their specific circumstances. When customers enjoy periods of financial excess, MoneyLion provides tools for them to easily manage their spending and saving goals through its digital banking and automated investing solutions. When customers experience moments of financial need, MoneyLion provides them immediate access to innovative lending or advance products and credit improvement programs that can bridge these times of financial stress and improve their financial health.

Q:     What are the conditions to completion of the Business Combination?

A:     The Closing is subject to certain conditions, including, among other things, (i) approval by Fusion’s stockholders and MoneyLion’s stockholders of the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination and certain other actions related thereto, (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (or any extension thereof)

applicable under the HSR Act, (iii) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to MoneyLion, (iv) Fusion having at least $260,000,000 of cash at the Closing, consisting of cash held in the Trust Account after taking into account the exercise by the holders of shares of Fusion Class A common stock issued in Fusion’s initial public offering of securities of their right to redeem such shares of Fusion Class A common stock in accordance with Fusion’s governing documents, if any, and cash received from PIPE Investors, net of transaction expenses of Fusion and MoneyLion and (v) the continued listing of the shares of New MoneyLion common stock on the NYSE. Unless waived, if any of these conditions are not satisfied, the Business Combination may not be consummated. Furthermore, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal.”

Q:     When and where will the Special Meeting take place?

A:     The Special Meeting of Fusion Stockholders will be held on September 21, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. New York City time, at https://www.cstproxy.com/fusionacquisitioncorp/2021.

In light of ongoing developments related to COVID-19, and the related protocols that governments have implemented, the Fusion Board determined that the Special Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast. The Fusion Board believes that this is the right choice for Fusion and its stockholders at this time, as it permits stockholders to attend and participate in the Special Meeting while safeguarding the health and safety of Fusion’s stockholders, directors and management team. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting online, vote, view the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and submit your questions during the Special Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/fusionacquisitioncorp/2021. To participate in the virtual meeting, you will need a 12-digit control number assigned by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The meeting webcast will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., New York City time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures. Because the Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting, there will be no physical location for stockholders to attend.

Beneficial stockholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) who wish to attend the virtual meeting must obtain a legal proxy by contacting their account representative at the bank, broker, or other nominee that holds their shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of their legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com. Beneficial stockholders who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the Special Meeting. After contacting Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a beneficial holder will receive an e-mail prior to the meeting with a link and instructions for entering the Special Meeting. Beneficial stockholders should contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company at least five business days prior to the meeting date in order to ensure access.

Q:     What matters will be considered at the Special Meeting?

A:     The Fusion Stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

•        a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Proposal”);

•        a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved and adopted, the Proposed Charter (the “Charter Proposal”);

•        a proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis and as required by applicable SEC guidance, certain material differences between the Current Charter and the Proposed Charter (the “Advisory Charter Proposals”);

•        to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Proposal are approved and adopted, for the purposes of complying with the applicable listing rules of the NYSE, the issuance of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”);

•        to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposal are approved and adopted, the MoneyLion Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan Proposal”);

•        to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are approved and adopted, the MoneyLion Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP Proposal”); and

•        to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, any of the condition precedent proposals would not be duly approved and adopted by our stockholders or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Merger Agreement is not satisfied or waived (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Q:     Is my vote important?

A:     Yes. The Business Combination cannot be completed unless the Merger Agreement is adopted by the Fusion Stockholders holding a majority of the votes cast on such proposal and the other condition precedent proposals achieve the necessary vote outlined below. Only Fusion Stockholders as of the close of business on September 2, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The Fusion Board unanimously recommends that such Fusion Stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Charter Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

Q:     If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, will my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee automatically vote those shares for me?

A:     No. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker submits a proxy that states that the broker does not vote for some or all of the proposals because the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owners on how to vote on the proposals and does not have discretionary authority to vote in the absence of instructions. Under the relevant rules, brokers are not permitted to vote on any of the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. As a result, your public shares will not be voted on any matter unless you affirmatively instruct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote your shares in one of the ways indicated by your broker, bank or other nominee. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q:     What Fusion Stockholder vote is required for the approval of each proposal brought before the Special Meeting? What will happen if I fail to vote or abstain from voting on each proposal?

A:     The Business Combination Proposal.    Approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. Our Sponsor, directors and executive officers have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Our Sponsor currently owns approximately 20% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, if all of our outstanding shares were to be voted, we would only need the additional affirmative vote of shares representing approximately 37.5% of the outstanding shares in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal. Because the Business Combination Proposal only requires a majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting in order to be approved and because a quorum will exist at the Special Meeting if a majority of the outstanding Fusion Shares as of the record date are present, the Business Combination Proposal could be approved by the additional affirmative vote of shares representing as little as 6.3% of the outstanding shares.

The Charter Proposal.    Approval of the Charter Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Fusion Shares entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal.

The Advisory Charter Proposals.    Approval of each of the Advisory Charter Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

The Stock Issuance Proposal.    Approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. However, the NYSE considers abstentions as “votes cast” and, therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal.

The Incentive Plan Proposal.    Approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. However, the NYSE considers abstentions as “votes cast” and, therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal.

The ESPP Proposal.    Approval of the ESPP Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by a proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. However, the NYSE considers abstentions as “votes cast” and, therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal.

The Adjournment Proposal.    Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

Q:     What will MoneyLion’s equity holders receive in connection with the Business Combination?

A:     The aggregate value of the consideration paid in respect of MoneyLion is $2,200,000,000.00. The aggregate consideration to be paid to MoneyLion stockholders shall be (i) shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock (valued at $10.00 per share), and, if elected by MoneyLion, cash consideration of up to the lower of (A) the amount (which may be zero) by which the Parent Closing Cash exceeds $260,000,000 and (B) $100,000,000, and (ii) the contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of up to 17,500,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock (the “Earn Out Shares”). See the “Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination” section for more information. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the election to receive cash will be made after the Special Meeting of Fusion Stockholders and prior to the Closing. Consequently, at the time of the special meeting, you will not know or be able to determine the amount of cash consideration the MoneyLion stockholders will receive at Closing (if any). See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Fusion and the Business Combination — Because the election by MoneyLion stockholders to receive cash consideration will not occur until after the Special Meeting, you will not know what portion of the merger consideration will be paid in cash to MoneyLion stockholders (if any) prior to casting your vote at the Special Meeting.” for more information.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the stock consideration to be issued to the then current holders of stock in MoneyLion will be in the form of New MoneyLion Class A common stock.

Additionally, each outstanding option to purchase shares of MoneyLion common stock (a “MoneyLion option”) that is outstanding and unexercised, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be assumed by New MoneyLion and will be converted into an option to acquire New MoneyLion Class A common stock with the same terms and conditions as applied to the MoneyLion option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the number of shares underlying such New MoneyLion option will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of MoneyLion common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the ratio determined by dividing the per share merger consideration value by $10.00 (the quotient being the “option exchange ratio”), which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, and the per share exercise price of such New MoneyLion option will be determined by dividing the per share exercise price immediately prior to the Effective Time by the option exchange ratio, which quotient shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of MoneyLion capital stock that is issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time and has not been exercised or terminated pursuant to its terms will be assumed and converted into a warrant exercisable for shares of Class A common stock of New MoneyLion.

In addition, the Merger Agreement contemplates that the Earn Out Participants (as defined in the Merger Agreement), following the closing of the Business Combination and for a period of five years thereafter (the “Earn Out Period”), will be eligible to receive the Earn Out Shares contingent on the occurrence of certain triggering events (each a “Triggering Event”) as follows:

•        a one-time issuance of 7,500,000 Earn Out Shares, if after the Closing Date (but during the Earn Out Period), the closing price of the shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock is equal to or greater than $12.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period, which will be paid within five business days of such Triggering Event;

•        a one-time issuance of 10,000,000 Earn Out Shares, if after the Closing Date (but during the Earn Out Period), the closing price of the shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock is equal to or greater than $16.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period, which will be paid within five business days of such Triggering Event; and

Each Triggering Event may only occur once, if at all, and in no event will the amount of Earn Out Shares distributed in connection with the Triggering Events exceed 17,500,000 aggregate shares. Any Earn Out Shares to be released and distributed shall be released and distributed as shares of New MoneyLion common stock.

Q:     What equity stake will current Fusion Stockholders and MoneyLion stockholders hold in New MoneyLion immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?

A:     It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, the ownership interests in New MoneyLion will be as set forth in the tables below:

For more information, please see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are warrants to acquire a number of shares of MoneyLion preferred stock or MoneyLion common stock equal to 558,234 shares of MoneyLion common stock following the conversion of all MoneyLion preferred stock into MoneyLion common stock in accordance with MoneyLion’s organizational documents that are exercisable at the option of the warrant holder prior to or in connection with the Closing, but are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination. If unexercised at the Closing, each such warrant shall be converted into a warrant to acquire a number of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock the holder of such warrant would have received had such warrant been exercised prior to the Closing and shall be exercisable at the option of the warrant holder. There are also currently 2,378,777 outstanding options to acquire shares of MoneyLion common stock, of which 1,025,056 are exercisable at the option of the optionholder prior to or in connection with the Closing, but are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination. If unexercised at the Closing, each such option (whether vested or unvested) shall be converted into an option to acquire a number of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock the holder of such option would have received had such option been exercised prior to the Closing and shall be exercisable at the option of the optionholder.

In addition, there are currently outstanding an aggregate of 25,600,000 warrants to acquire shares of Fusion Class A common stock, which comprise 8,100,000 private placement warrants held by our initial stockholders and 17,500,000 public warrants. Each of our outstanding whole warrants is exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on June 30, 2020, for one share of Fusion Class A common stock and, following the Closing, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of New MoneyLion Class A common stock in accordance with its terms. Therefore,

as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, if we assume that each outstanding whole warrant is exercised and one share of New MoneyLion Class A common stock is issued as a result of such exercise, with payment to New MoneyLion of the exercise price of $11.50 per warrant for one whole share, our fully diluted share capital would increase by a total of 25,600,000 shares, with approximately $294,400,000 paid to exercise the warrants.

Q:     How will I be notified of the outcome of MoneyLion’s stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination and whether MoneyLion has decided to receive cash consideration at Closing?

A:      Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, MoneyLion will not make its election to receive cash consideration until after the Special Meeting. As such, Fusion’s stockholders will not know what portion of the merger consideration will be paid in cash (if any) prior to casting their vote at the Special Meeting. Fusion plans to disclose whether MoneyLion has elected to receive cash consideration at Closing in its “Super 8-K”, which will be filed within four business days of the Closing. For more information on the consideration to be paid by Fusion in connection with the Business Combination, please see the question entitled “— What will MoneyLion’s equity holders receive in connection with the Business Combination?” above, “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Fusion and the Business Combination — Because the election by MoneyLion stockholders to receive cash consideration will not occur until after the Special Meeting, you will not know what portion of the merger consideration will be paid in cash to MoneyLion stockholders (if any) prior to casting your vote at the Special Meeting” and the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Consideration to MoneyLion Stockholders and Fusion Stockholders.” For more information on the expected ownership of New MoneyLion after the Closing, please see the question entitled “— What equity stake will current Fusion Stockholders and MoneyLion stockholders hold in New MoneyLion immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?” above.

Q:     Do MoneyLion’s stockholders need to approve the Business Combination?

A:     Yes. In connection with and following the execution of the Merger Agreement, Fusion entered into support agreements with certain MoneyLion stockholders (the “MoneyLion Support Agreements”), pursuant to which such MoneyLion stockholders agreed, among other things, to vote (whether pursuant to a duly convened meeting of MoneyLion’s stockholders or pursuant to an action by written consent) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination and any of the documents and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement thereto following the time at which the registration statement to which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act and delivered or otherwise made available to the MoneyLion stockholders. The shares of MoneyLion common stock and MoneyLion preferred stock held by the MoneyLion stockholders that entered into the MoneyLion Support Agreements represent (i) a majority of the outstanding voting power of the MoneyLion preferred stock, voting as a separate class, and (ii) a majority of the outstanding voting power of MoneyLion common stock and MoneyLion preferred stock (on an as converted basis), voting together as a single class. The shares of MoneyLion common stock and MoneyLion preferred stock subject to the MoneyLion Support Agreements represent the requisite majority to approve the Business Combination and any of the documents and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement thereto.

Q:     What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

A:     A total of $350 million, including approximately $13,150,000 of underwriters’ deferred discount and approximately $8,100,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the private placement warrants, was placed in a Trust Account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee. As of June 30, 2021, there were marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $350,119,600. These funds will not be released until the earlier of Closing or the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination by December 31, 2021, although we may withdraw the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account to pay taxes.

Q:     What happens if a substantial number of the public stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption right?

A:     Fusion Stockholders who vote in favor of the Business Combination may also nevertheless exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public stockholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public stockholders. Nonetheless, the consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon,

among other things, Fusion having an aggregate cash amount of at least $260,000,000 of cash at the Closing, consisting of cash held in the Trust Account after taking into account the exercise by the holders of shares of Fusion Class A common stock issued in Fusion’s initial public offering of securities of their right to redeem such shares of Fusion Class A common stock in accordance with Fusion’s governing documents, if any, and cash received from PIPE Investors, net of transaction expenses of Fusion and MoneyLion (the “Minimum Proceeds Condition”) (though this condition may be waived by MoneyLion). Fusion intends to notify Fusion Stockholders by press release promptly after it becomes aware that MoneyLion has waived this condition. In addition, with fewer public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for New MoneyLion Class A common stock may be less liquid than the market for Fusion Class A common stock was prior to consummation of the Business Combination and New MoneyLion may not be able to meet the listing standards for the NYSE or another national securities exchange. In addition, with less funds available from the Trust Account, the working capital infusion from the Trust Account into New MoneyLion’s business will be reduced. As a result, the proceeds will be greater in the event that no public stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account as opposed to the scenario in which Fusion’s public stockholders exercise the maximum allowed redemption rights.

Furthermore, our Current Charter provides that we may not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (such that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the Merger Agreement. Other than this limitation, our Current Charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold.

Q:     What amendments will be made to the Current Charter?

A:     We are asking Fusion Stockholders to approve the Proposed Charter that will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The Proposed Charter provides for various changes that the Fusion Board believes are necessary to address the needs of the post-Business Combination company, including, among other things: (i) changing the post-combination company’s name to MoneyLion Inc., (ii) removing the blank check company provisions, (iii) changing the stock classes and the total number of authorized shares of common stock to 2,200,000,000 shares, (iv) changing the stockholder vote required to 662/3% in voting power of then outstanding shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock to (A) alter, amend or repeal the bylaws, (B) remove a director and (C) amend, alter or repeal certain provisions of the Proposed Charter and (v) providing that stockholders may not take action by written consent.

Pursuant to the DGCL and the Current Charter, Fusion is required to submit the Charter Proposal to the Fusion Stockholders for approval. For additional information, see the section entitled “The Charter Proposal.”

Q:     What material negative factors did the Fusion Board consider in connection with the Business Combination?

A:     Although the Fusion Board believes that the acquisition of MoneyLion will provide the Fusion Stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a combined company with significant growth potential, market share and a well-known brand, the Fusion Board did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion, such as the risk that Fusion Stockholders would not approve the Business Combination and the risk that significant numbers of Fusion Stockholders would exercise their redemption rights. In addition, during the course of Fusion management’s evaluation of MoneyLion’s operating business and its public company potential, management conducted detailed due diligence on certain potential challenges. Some factors that both Fusion management and the Fusion Board considered were (i) the ability to unlock and enhance shareholder value, (ii) the ability of the business to innovate through new operation techniques, (iii) the business’s ability to demonstrate advantages when compared to their competitors, (iv) the creation of a growing environment toward digital banking and (v) the financial profile of the business and its prospects for continued growth. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Fusion’s Board of Directors ‘Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination” as well as in the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risk Factors Relating to the Business Combination and Integration of MoneyLion’s Business.”

Q:     Do I have redemption rights?

A:     If you are a public stockholder, you have the right to request that Fusion redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus under the heading “The Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. We sometimes refer to these rights to elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares into a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account as “redemption rights.”

If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Our Sponsor, directors and executive officers entered into the insider letter agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their shares in connection with the completion of a business combination.

Q:     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:     If you are a public stockholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem your public shares, you must:

(i)     (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

(ii)    prior to               , New York City time, on               , 2021, (a) submit a written request to Continental that Fusion redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to Continental, physically or electronically through the DTC.

The address of Continental is listed under the question “Whom do I call if I have questions about the Special Meeting or the Business Combination?” below.

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental directly and instruct them to do so.

Any public stockholder will be entitled to request that their public shares be redeemed for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per public share. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public stockholders, regardless of whether such public stockholders vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any proposal other than the Business Combination Proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to public stockholders electing to redeem their public shares will be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

If you are a holder of public shares, you may exercise your redemption rights by submitting your request in writing to Continental at the address listed under the question “ Whom do I call if I have questions about the Special Meeting or the Business Combination?” below.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is September 17, 2021 (two business days prior to the date of the Special Meeting), and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. If you deliver your shares for redemption to Continental and later decide prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect redemption, you may request that Fusion instruct Continental to return the shares to you (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Continental at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Fusion’s secretary prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on September 17, 2021.

If you are a holder of public shares and you exercise your redemption rights, it will not result in the loss of any Fusion warrants that you may hold.

Q:     If I am a holder of units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?

A:     No. Holders of outstanding units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If you hold your units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if you hold units registered in your own name, you must contact Continental, Fusion’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. If you fail to cause your units to be separated and delivered to Continental, Fusion’s transfer agent, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 17, 2021, you will not be able to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your public shares.

Q:     What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:     The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights depend on your particular facts and circumstances. It is possible that you may be treated as selling your public shares for cash and, as a result, recognize capital gain or capital loss. It is also possible that the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the number of public shares that you own or are deemed to own (including through the ownership of New MoneyLion warrants). Any portion of such a distribution to you if you are a Non-U.S. holder (as defined below) that constitutes a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes will generally be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend (unless you establish that you are eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty or certain other exceptions apply). Because the determination as to whether a redemption is treated as a sale or a distribution is dependent on matters of fact, withholding agents may presume, for withholding purposes, that all amounts paid to Non-U.S. holders in connection with a redemption are treated as distributions in respect of such Non-U.S. holder’s public shares. Accordingly, if you are a Non-U.S. holder, you should expect that a withholding agent will likely withhold U.S. federal income tax on the gross proceeds payable to you pursuant to a redemption at a rate of 30% unless you are eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provide proper certification of your eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or other applicable IRS Form W-8). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

TAX MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO YOU IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Q:     How does the Fusion Board recommend that I vote?

A:     The Fusion Board recommends that the Fusion Stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Charter Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of

the Adjournment Proposal. For more information regarding how the board of directors of Fusion recommends that Fusion Stockholders vote, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Fusion Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination.”

Q:     How does our Sponsor intend to vote its shares?

A:     In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, our Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, it agreed to vote its shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and all other proposals being presented at the Special Meeting. Our Sponsor currently owns approximately 20% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, if all of our outstanding shares were to be voted, we would need the affirmative vote of approximately 37.5% of the remaining shares to approve the Business Combination.

Q:     May the Sponsor purchase public shares or warrants prior to the Special Meeting?

A:     At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Fusion or its securities, the Sponsor, MoneyLion and/or its affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or vote their public shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that (i) the proposals presented for approval at the Special Meeting are approved and/or (ii) Fusion satisfies the Minimum Proceeds Condition. Any such stock purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal. This may result in the completion of our Business Combination in a way that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by the Sponsor for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on public shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the Special Meeting.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination Proposal to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of public shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder.

Q:     What interests do the Sponsor and Fusion’s current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A:     The Sponsor and Fusion’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests. You should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include the following:

•        Our Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if we do not complete a business combination by December 31, 2021. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by December 31, 2021, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

•        There will be no liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the founder shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the required period. Our Sponsor purchased the founder shares prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Upon the Closing, such founder shares will convert into 8,750,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock (assuming no founder shares are forfeited by the Sponsor at Closing), and such shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would have an aggregate market value of approximately $86.9 million based upon the closing price of $9.93 per public share on the NYSE on August 27, 2021, but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value.

•        Simultaneously with the closing of its initial public offering, Fusion consummated the sale of 8,100,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on June 30, 2020, for one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by December 31, 2021, then the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $7.0 million based upon the closing price of $0.87 per warrant on the NYSE on August 27, 2021.

•        Jeff Gary is expected to continue to serve as a director of New MoneyLion after the Closing. As such, in the future he may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New MoneyLion Board determines to pay to its directors.

•        Our Sponsor, directors and executive officers have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if Fusion fails to complete a business combination by December 31, 2021.

•        In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

•        Following the Closing, our Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Fusion and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Sponsor has not made any advances to us for working capital expenses. If we do not complete an initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.

•        Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will continue to indemnify our existing directors and officers and will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

•        Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by Fusion from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination.

These interests may influence Fusion’s directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination.

Q:     Will the management of New MoneyLion change in connection with the Closing?

A:     We anticipate that all of the executive officers of MoneyLion will continue to serve in such capacities for New MoneyLion after the Closing. In addition, we expect that each of the current Fusion directors, other than Jeff Gary, will resign upon the Closing and each of John Chrystal, Diwakar (Dee) Choubey, Gregory DePetris,

Chris Sugden, Lisa Gersh, Matt Derella, Michael Paull, Annette Nazareth and Ambassador (Ret) Dwight L. Bush will be appointed to serve as directors of the post-combination company upon the Closing. For additional information, please see the section entitled “New MoneyLion Management After the Business Combination.”

Q:     Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?

A:     The Fusion Board has fixed September 2, 2021 as the record date for the Special Meeting. All holders of record of Fusion Shares as of the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting, provided that those shares remain outstanding on the date of the Special Meeting. Physical attendance at the Special Meeting is not required to vote. See the section entitled “Questions and Answers About the Business Combination and the Special Meeting — How can I vote my shares without attending the Special Meeting?” for instructions on how to vote your Fusion Shares without attending the Special Meeting.

Q:     How many votes do I have?

A:     Each Fusion Stockholder of record is entitled to one vote for each Fusion Share held by such holder as of the close of business on the record date. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 43,750,000 outstanding Fusion Shares.

Q:     What constitutes a quorum for the Special Meeting?

A:     A quorum is the minimum number of stockholders necessary to hold a valid meeting.

A quorum will exist at the Special Meeting with respect to each matter to be considered at the Special Meeting if the holders of a majority of the outstanding Fusion Shares as of the record date present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. All shares represented by proxy are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Q:     What will happen to my Fusion Shares as a result of the Business Combination?

A:     If the Business Combination is completed, each share of Fusion Class B common stock will be converted into one share of Fusion Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter and each then outstanding share of Fusion Class A common stock will automatically become a share of MoneyLion Class A common stock. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Consideration to MoneyLion Stockholders and Fusion Stockholders” for more information.

Q:     Where will the New MoneyLion Class A common stock that Fusion Stockholders receive in the Business Combination be publicly traded?

A:     Assuming the Business Combination is completed, the shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock (including the New MoneyLion Class A common stock issued in connection with the Business Combination) will be listed and traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “ML” and the public warrants will be listed and traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “ML WS.”

Q:     What happens if the Business Combination is not completed?

A:     If the Closing has not occurred by the date that is nine months following the date of the Merger Agreement, then we will seek to consummate an alternative initial business combination prior to December 31, 2021. If we do not consummate an initial business combination by December 31, 2021, we will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeem our public shares and liquidate the Trust Account, in which case our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.

Q:     How can I attend and vote my shares at the Special Meeting?

A:     If you were the record holder of shares of our common stock as of the record date, you may submit your proxy to vote such shares by mail or at the Special Meeting.

Voting by Mail

•        To submit your proxy by mail, simply mark your proxy card, date and sign it and return it in the postage-paid envelope. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

A:     Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Fusion Shares.

While the extent and duration of the economic slowdown and high unemployment rates attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain at this time, a continued significant economic slowdown could have a substantial adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, COVID-19 could have the following adverse effects on our business and results of operations, among others:

•        reduced borrower approval rates, including as a result of credit eligibility and other adjustments;

•        lower average balances of our loans as a result of changes in consumer demand and adjustments to our credit decisioning process and credit criteria;

•        reduced pool of customers eligible for our loan or advance products;

•        impeded liquidity and negative fair value adjustments with respect to our loans or advance products; and

•        reduced funds available for our investment products.

See “MoneyLion’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Key Performance Metrics” and “— Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019” for further discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in recent periods on our business and operating results. The COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact, may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described herein.

Our business may be adversely affected by economic conditions and other factors that we cannot control.

Uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions, including significant tightening of credit markets, historically have created a difficult operating environment for our industry. Many factors, including factors that are beyond our control, may impact our results of operations or financial condition and our overall success by affecting a customer’s willingness and capacity to use our products and services, including a customer’s willingness to incur loan obligations or willingness or capacity to make payments on their loans or other services we offer. These factors include interest rates, unemployment levels, conditions in the housing market, immigration policies, gas prices, energy costs, government shutdowns, trade wars and delays in tax refunds, as well as events such as natural disasters, acts of war, terrorism, catastrophes and pandemics.

Many new customers on our platform have limited or no credit history and limited financial resources. Accordingly, such customers have historically been, and may in the future become, disproportionately affected by adverse macroeconomic conditions, such as the disruption and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, major medical expenses, divorce, death or other issues that affect customers could affect a customer’s willingness or ability to make payments on their loans or advances or engage in investing activities. If borrowers default on loans facilitated on our platform, the cost to service these loans may also increase without a corresponding increase in revenue earned from lending operations, and the value of the loans could decline. Higher default rates by these borrowers may lead to lower demand by our funding sources and institutional investors to fund loans and other receivables facilitated by our platform, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

During periods of economic slowdown or recession, our current and potential investors in our special purpose financing structure may reduce the number of loans or other receivables they are willing to finance or demand terms that are less favorable to us, to compensate for any increased risks. A reduction in the volume of the loans and other receivables we are able to finance through this structure would negatively impact our ability to maintain or increase the level of our lending and provision of other services to customers. Any sustained decline in demand for loans or other services we offer, or any increase in delinquencies or defaults that result from economic downturns, may harm our ability to maintain robust volumes for our lending operations and other services, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2020, for secured personal loans provided through our Credit Builder Plus membership program, the average 30+ day delinquency rate was 4.2% and the average monthly default rate was 1.4%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the non-repayment rate for advances provided through our Instacash product was 4.8%. See “Business of New MoneyLion — Our Product Platform.”

For example, the COVID-19 pandemic and other related adverse economic events led to a significant increase in unemployment, comparable, and at times surpassing, the unemployment rates during the peak of the financial crisis in 2008. There can be no assurance that levels of unemployment or underemployment will improve in the

near term. The increase in the unemployment rate could increase the non-repayment rate on our loans and advance products, increase the rate of customers declaring bankruptcy or decrease our customers’ use of our investment and other products and services, any of which could adversely affect the attractiveness of our loans and other receivables to our financing sources. If we are unable to adjust our platform to account for events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting rise in unemployment, or if our platform is unable to more successfully predict the creditworthiness of potential borrowers compared to other lenders, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused some borrowers on our platform to request a temporary extension or modification of the payment schedules of their loans under our temporary relief or loan modification programs, or hardship programs. If a large number of borrowers seek to participate in such hardship programs, the investment returns of our financing sources could decline. Further, if the rate of borrowers that participate in such hardship programs is greater than those experienced by our competitors, then our financing sources may become less interested providing financing for our loans and other consumer receivables, which could negatively impact our funding strategy or significantly increase the cost of obtaining funding. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If there is an economic downturn that affects our current and prospective customers or our financing sources, or if we are unable to address and mitigate the risks associated with any of the foregoing, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We operate in a cyclical industry. In an economic downturn, we may not be able to grow our business or maintain expected levels of liquidity or revenue growth.

The timing, severity, and duration of an economic downturn can have a significant negative impact on our ability to generate adequate revenue and to absorb expected and unexpected losses. For example, in making a decision whether to extend credit to a new or existing customer or determine appropriate pricing for a loan or whether to provide a customer an advance, our decision strategies rely on robust data collection, including from third-party sources, proprietary scoring models, and market expertise. An economic downturn could place financial stress on our customers, potentially impacting our ability to make accurate assessments or decisions about our customers’ ability to pay for loans and other services we provide, as well as our customers’ willingness to use our products and services. Our ability to adapt in a manner that balances future revenue production and loss management will be tested in a downturn. The longevity and severity of a downturn will also place pressure on our funding sources. There can be no assurance that our financing arrangements will remain available to us through any particular business cycle or be renewed on the same terms. The timing and extent of a downturn may also require us to change, postpone or cancel our strategic initiatives or growth plans to pursue shorter-term sustainability. The longer and more severe an economic downturn, the greater the potential adverse impact on us, which could be material.

We are a rapidly growing company with a relatively limited operating history, which may result in increased risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties, and makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.

We were founded in 2013 and have experienced rapid growth in recent years. Our limited operating history may make it difficult to make accurate predictions about our future performance. Assessing our business and future prospects may also be difficult because of the risks and difficulties we face. These risks and difficulties include our ability to:

•        improve the effectiveness and predictiveness of our data-driven platform;

•        maintain and increase the volume of loans, advances and other financial products we provide through our platform;

•        enter into new and maintain existing relationships with third-party partners and service providers;

•        successfully maintain cost-effective sources of financing for our operations;

•        maintain competitive interest rates offered to borrowers on our platform, while enabling our funding sources to achieve an adequate return over their cost of funds;

•        successfully build our brand and protect our reputation from negative publicity;

•        increase the effectiveness of our marketing strategies, including our direct consumer marketing initiatives;

•        continue to expand the number of our potential customers;

•        successfully adjust our proprietary models, products and services in a timely manner in response to changing macroeconomic conditions and fluctuations in the credit market;

•        comply with and successfully adapt to complex and evolving regulatory environments;

•        protect against increasingly sophisticated fraudulent uses of financial products and online theft;

•        successfully compete with companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the business of providing consumer financial services;

•        enter into new markets and introduce new products and services;

•        sufficiently obtain, maintain, protect, or enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights;

•        effectively secure and maintain the confidentiality of the information received, accessed, stored, provided and used across our systems;

•        successfully obtain and maintain funding and liquidity to support continued growth and general corporate purposes;

•        attract, integrate and retain qualified employees; and

•        effectively manage and expand the capabilities of our operations teams, outsourcing relationships and other business operations.

If we are not able to timely and effectively address these risks and difficulties as well as those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, our business and results of operations may be harmed.

Our results of operations and future prospects depend on our ability to retain existing, and attract new, customers. We face intense and increasing competition and, if we do not compete effectively, our competitive positioning and our operating results will be harmed.

We operate in a rapidly changing and highly competitive industry, and our results of operations and future prospects depend on, among others:

•        the continued growth of our customer base;

•        our ability to monetize our customer base, including through additional products by our existing customers;

•        our ability to acquire customers at a lower cost; and

•        our ability to increase the overall value to us of each of our customers while they remain on our platform.

We expect our competition to continue to increase, as there are generally no substantial barriers to entry to the markets we serve. In addition to established enterprises, we may also face competition from early-stage companies attempting to capitalize on the same, or similar, opportunities as we are. Some of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, particularly with respect to financial services products similar to ours, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources and a larger customer base than we do. This allows them, among other things, to potentially offer more competitive pricing or other terms or features, a broader range of financial products, or a more specialized set of specific products or services, as well as respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer preferences. Our existing or future competitors may develop products or services that are similar to our products and services or that achieve greater market acceptance than our products and services. This could attract customers away from our services and reduce

our market share in the future. Additionally, when new competitors seek to enter our markets, or when existing market participants seek to increase their market share, these competitors sometimes undercut, or otherwise exert pressure on, the pricing terms prevalent in that market, which could adversely affect our market share and/or ability to capitalize on new market opportunities.

We currently compete at multiple levels with a variety of competitors, including:

•        traditional banks and credit unions;

•        new entrants obtaining banking licenses;

•        other non-bank digital providers that white label regulated products, offering banking-related services;

•        specialty finance and other non-bank providers, offering consumer lending-related products or advances; and

•        online wealth management platforms, such as robo-advisors, offering consumer investment services.

We compete with traditional banks for many of the services we offer. Because we do not currently control a bank or a bank holding company, we are subject to regulation by a variety of state and federal regulators across our products and services and we rely on MetaBank®, N.A. (“MetaBank”) to provide banking accounts and debit cards to our customers. This regulation by federal, state and local authorities increases our compliance costs, particularly for our lending business, as we navigate multiple regimes with different examination schedules and processes, varying disclosure requirements, and at times conflicting consumer protection laws. In addition, our ability to compete may be hampered in certain states where the amount of interest we are permitted to charge customers is capped and we are consequently unable to make loans to all the customers that we believe may be qualified but to whom we cannot offer the appropriate risk-adjusted margin.

We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including, among others, the following:

•        the size, diversity and activity levels of our customer base;

•        the timing and market acceptance of products and services, including developments and enhancements to those products and services, offered by us and our competitors;

•        customer service and support efforts;

•        selling and marketing efforts;

•        the ease of use, performance, price and reliability of solutions developed either by us or our competitors;

•        changes in economic conditions, regulatory and policy developments;

•        general credit markets conditions and their impact on our liquidity and ability to access funding;

•        the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lending and financial services markets we serve;

•        our brand strength relative to our competitors; and

•        competition over highly skilled personnel in the technology industry.

Our current and future business prospects demand that we act to meet these competitive challenges but, in doing so, our net revenue and results of operations could be adversely affected if we, for example, increase marketing expenditures or make other expenditures. Competitive pressures could also result in us reducing the amounts we charge for our various products and services, such as reducing the annual percentage rate on the loans we originate, incurring higher customer acquisition costs and could make it more difficult for us to grow our financial services product offerings in both number and volume for new as well as existing customers. All of the foregoing factors and events could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.

Because we rely on third parties to provide services, we could be adversely impacted if they fail to fulfill their obligations or if our arrangements with them are terminated and suitable replacements cannot be found on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

We depend on certain key third-party partners, service providers and vendors for certain products and services. The success of our business depends in part on our ability to work with a bank partner, currently MetaBank, to provide our customers with deposit accounts and debit cards facilitated through our platform. We are also dependent on our relationship with DriveWealth LLC (“DriveWealth”), a third-party broker-dealer partner, which provides brokerage and related services for the investment accounts facilitated through our platform. Any changes in these relationships or loss of these partners could degrade the functionality of our products and services, impose additional costs or requirements, or give preferential treatment to competitors’ services, including their own services, and materially and adversely affect usage of our products and services. In the event our agreements with these third parties are terminated, or if upon their expiration we are unable to renew the contracts on terms favorable to us, or at all, it may be difficult for us to replace these services, which may adversely affect our operations and profitability. Some of these organizations and third-party service providers provide similar services and technology to our competitors, and we do not have long-term or exclusive contracts with them.

Our systems and operations or those of our third-party service providers could be exposed to damage or interruption from, among other things, financial insolvency, bankruptcy, contractual default, or adverse regulatory changes. In addition, we may be unable to renew our existing contracts with our most significant third-party relationships, MetaBank and DriveWealth, or they may stop providing or otherwise supporting the products and services we obtain from them, and we may not be able to obtain these or similar products or services on the same or similar terms as our existing arrangements, if at all. The failure of these third-party providers to perform their obligations and provide the products and services we obtain from them in a timely manner for any reason could adversely affect our operations and profitability.

If we fail to comply with the applicable requirements of our third-party partners, they could seek to suspend or terminate our accounts, which could adversely affect our business.

We rely on agreements with MetaBank, DriveWealth and other third-party providers to provide deposit accounts, debit card services and investment advisory services. These agreements and corresponding regulations governing banks and financial institutions may give them substantial discretion in approving certain aspects of our business practices, including our application and qualification procedures for customers and require us to comply with certain legal requirements. Our financial institution partners’ discretionary actions under these agreements could impose material limitations to, or have a material adverse effect on, our business, financial condition and results of operations. Without these relationships, we would not be able to service our deposit accounts, debit cards and investment accounts, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, our financial results could be adversely affected if our costs associated with such relationships materially change or if any penalty or claim for damages is imposed as a result of our breach of the agreement with them or their other requirements.

We rely on third-party service providers for payment processing and other functions that are important to our operations. The loss of those service providers could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, if a third-party service provider fails to comply with legal or regulatory requirements or otherwise to perform these functions properly, our business may be adversely affected.

We rely on third-party service providers to perform various functions relating to our business, including underwriting, fraud detection, marketing, operational functions, cloud infrastructure services, information technology, and telecommunications, and, because we are not a bank and cannot belong to or directly access the ACH payment network, ACH processing, and debit card payment processing. While we oversee these service providers to ensure they provide services in accordance with our agreements and regulatory requirements, we do not have control over the operations of any of the third-party service providers that we utilize. In the event that a third-party service provider for any reason fails to perform such functions, including through negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, our ability to process payments and perform other operational functions for which we currently rely on such third-party service providers will suffer and our business, cash flows and future prospects may be negatively impacted.

Additionally, if one or more key third-party service providers were to cease to exist, to become a debtor in a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding or to seek relief under any debtor relief laws or to terminate its relationship with us, there could be delays in our ability to process payments and perform other operational functions for which we are currently relying on such third-party service provider, and we may not be able to promptly replace such third-party service provider with a different third-party service provider that has the ability to promptly provide the same services in the same manner and on the same economic terms. As a result of any such delay or inability to replace such key third-party service provider, our ability to process payments and perform other business functions could suffer and our business, cash flows and future prospects may be negatively impacted.

A significant change in consumer confidence in our products and services could negatively impact our business.

We have developed a strong and trusted brand that has contributed significantly to the success of our business. We believe that maintaining and promoting our brand is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our products and services and expanding our base of customers.

Maintaining and promoting our brand will depend largely on our ability to continue to provide useful, reliable, secure, and innovative products and services, as well as our ability to maintain trust and remain a leading financial services platform. We may introduce, or make changes to, features, products, services, privacy practices, or terms of service that customers do not like, which may materially and adversely affect our brand. Our brand promotion activities may not generate customer awareness or increase revenue, and even if they do, any increase in revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

We rely on relationships with third-party partners to obtain and maintain customers. Our ability to acquire new customers could be materially harmed if we are unable to enter into or maintain these relationships on terms that are commercially reasonable to us, or at all.

Harm to our brand can arise from many sources, including failure by us or our partners and service providers to satisfy expectations of service and quality, inadequate protection or misuse of personally identifiable information (“PII”), compliance failures and claims, litigation and other claims, and misconduct by our partners or other counterparties. We have been, from time to time and, may in the future be, the target of incomplete, inaccurate, and misleading or false statements about our company and our business that could damage our brand and deter customers from adopting our services. Any negative publicity about our industry or our company, the quality and reliability of our products and services, our compliance and risk management processes, changes to our products and services, our ability to effectively manage and resolve customer complaints, our privacy, data protection, and information security practices, litigation, regulatory licensing and infrastructure, and the experience of our customers with our products or services could adversely affect our reputation and the confidence in and use of our products and services. If we do not successfully maintain a strong and trusted brand, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

If the information provided to us by customers is incorrect or fraudulent, we may misjudge a customer’s qualifications to receive our products and services and our results of operations may be harmed and could subject us to regulatory scrutiny or penalties.

Our decisions to provide many of our products and services to our customers are based partly on information customers provide to us or authorize us to receive. To the extent that these customers provide information to us in a manner that we are unable to verify, our decisioning process may not accurately reflect the associated risk. In addition, data provided by third-party sources, including consumer reporting agencies, is a component of our credit decisions and this data may contain inaccuracies. Inaccurate analysis of credit data that could result from false loan application information could harm our reputation, business and results of operations.

In addition, we use identity and fraud prevention tools to analyze data provided by external databases to authenticate each applicant’s identity. From time to time, these checks have failed and there is a risk that these checks could fail in the future, and fraud, which may be significant, may occur. We may not be able to recoup funds underlying loans or associated with our other services made in connection with inaccurate statements, omissions of fact or fraud, in which case our revenue, results of operations and profitability will be harmed. Fraudulent activity or significant increases in fraudulent activity could also lead to regulatory intervention, which could negatively impact our results of operations, brand and reputation, and require us to take steps to reduce fraud risk, which could increase our costs.

Many of our investment advisory customers are first-time investors and our revenues could be reduced if these customers stop investing altogether or stop using our platform for their investing activities.

Our business model focuses on making the financial markets accessible to a broad demographic of retail investors. In each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, over half of our customers for the applicable period were first-time investors. In addition, in the first half of 2020, we saw a significant increase in the number of new accounts opened by first-time investors, largely as a result of economic and social conditions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our success, and our ability to increase revenues and operate profitably, depends in part on such customers continuing to utilize our platform, even as global social and economic conditions shift. However, our customers do not have long-term contractual arrangements with us and can utilize our platform on a transaction-by-transaction basis and may also cease to use our platform at any time or use a competitor’s platform. We may face particular challenges in retaining these investors as customers, for example as a result of a return to pre-COVID-19 behaviors, increased volatility in the financial markets or increasing availability of competing products that seek to target the same demographic. In particular, a broad decline in the equity or other financial markets could result in some of these investors exiting the markets and leaving our platform. Any significant loss of these customers or a significant reduction in their use of our platform could have a material impact on our investment volumes and revenues, and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If loans and other receivables originated through our platform do not perform, or significantly underperform, we may incur financial losses on the receivables we originate or lose the confidence of our financing sources.

Any significant underperformance of the loans and other receivables facilitated through our platform, especially if they underperform compared to those generated by our competitors, may adversely impact our relationship with our funding sources and result in their loss of confidence in us, which could lead to the termination of our existing funding arrangements. We do not provide a guarantee for the performance of loans and other receivables that we facilitate, and also sell these loans and other receivables at a discount of approximately 10% to our special purpose vehicle financing structure. Any requirement that we increase the amount of receivables we hold on our balance sheet due to a decrease or termination by our funding sources in their investments in our credit products and other consumer receivables would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Borrowers may prepay a loan at any time without penalty, which could reduce our revenue and limit our ability to obtain financing for our lending operations.

A borrower may decide to prepay all or a portion of the remaining principal amount on a loan at any time without penalty. If the entire or a significant portion of the remaining unpaid principal amount of a loan is prepaid, we would receive significantly lower interest associated with such prepaid loan. Prepayments may occur for a variety of reasons, including if interest rates decrease after a loan is made. If a significant volume of prepayments occurs, the amount of our servicing fees would decline, which could harm our business and results of operations. Our data-driven models are designed to predict prepayment rates. However, if a significant volume of prepayments occur that our models do not accurately predict, returns targeted by our financing sources in our loan funding programs would be adversely affected and our ability to attract new investors would be negatively affected.

We service all of the loans we originate. A failure by us to service loans properly could result in lost revenue and negatively impact our business and operations or subject us to regulatory scrutiny or penalties.

We service all of the loans we originate. Any failure on our part to perform functions related to our servicing activities to properly service our loans could result in a significant decrease in the amount of loans we service and therefore adversely impact the amount of revenue generated from interest income.

We rely on investment through our subsidiary Special Purpose Vehicle financing structure to finance loans and advances, and any inability to meet investors expected returns or our obligations concerning that financing could result in significant losses in and harm to our business.

Our credit and advance products are currently financed through Invest in America Credit Fund 1 LLC (“IIA”) and associated special purpose vehicles. IIA was formed in 2016 and is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MoneyLion Inc. If we fail to meet our contractual obligations under the arrangement with our funding sources, including ensuring that our credit and advance products are run and managed appropriately, or if we fail to meet the

investment expectations or returns of our funding sources, our funding sources could terminate their arrangements with us or we may not be able to refinance such funding sources on favorable terms or at all, which could significantly impair our ability to finance future credit and advance receivables beyond the contractual obligations of the funding sources. Loss of one or more of the financing sources we have for our credit products and other receivables could have an adverse impact on our performance, and it could be costly and time consuming to obtain a new financing, if at all. Additionally, any failure involving our servicing processes and any related technical or other errors could create material obligations between MoneyLion and IIA, which could negatively impact our results of operations.

We depend on our key personnel and other highly skilled personnel, and if we fail to attract, retain and motivate our personnel, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our success significantly depends on the continued service of our senior management team, including Diwakar (Dee) Choubey, our Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Rick Correia, our Chief Financial Officer, and other highly skilled personnel. Our success also depends on our ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified personnel for all areas of our organization.

Competition for highly skilled personnel, including engineering and data analytics personnel, is extremely intense, particularly in New York where our headquarters is located. We have experienced, and expect to continue to face, difficulty identifying and hiring qualified personnel in many areas, especially as we pursue our growth strategy. Further, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a large and increasing number of companies have adopted permanent work-from-home policies, which further increases the challenges associated with hiring and retaining qualified personnel. We may not be able to hire or retain such personnel at compensation or flexibility levels consistent with our existing compensation and salary structure and policies. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced employees have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In particular, candidates making employment decisions, specifically in high-technology industries, often consider the value of any equity they may receive in connection with their employment. Any significant volatility in the price of our stock after this Business Combination may adversely affect our ability to attract or retain highly skilled technical, financial and marketing personnel.

In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to retain our employees, we could incur significant expenses in hiring and training their replacements. While we are in the process of training their replacements, the quality of our services and our ability to serve our customers could decline, resulting in an adverse effect on our business.

If we fail to promote, protect, and maintain our brand in a cost-effective manner, we may lose market share and our revenue may decrease.

We believe that developing, protecting, and maintaining awareness of our brand in a cost-effective manner is critical to attracting new and retaining existing customers to our platform. Successful promotion of our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and the experience of existing customers. Our efforts to build our brand have involved significant expense, and we expect to increase our marketing spend in the near term. These brand promotion activities may not result in increased revenue and, even if they do, any increases may not offset the expenses incurred. Additionally, the successful protection and maintenance of our brand will depend on our ability to obtain, maintain, protect, and enforce trademark and other intellectual property protection for our brand. If we fail to successfully promote, protect, and maintain our brand or if we incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote, protect, and maintain our brand, we may lose our existing merchants and customers to our competitors or be unable to attract new merchants and customers. Any such loss of existing merchants or customers, or inability to attract new merchants or customers, would have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our engineering and technical development teams are based primarily in Malaysia, which could be adversely affected by changes in political or economic stability or by government policies.

Our engineering and technical development teams operate a foreign office in Malaysia, which is subject to relatively higher degrees of political and social instability than the United States and may lack the infrastructure to withstand political unrest or natural disasters. The political or regulatory climate in the United States, or elsewhere, also could change so that it would not be lawful or practical for us to use international operations in the manner in which we currently use them. If we had to curtail or cease operations in Malaysia and transfer some or all of these

operations to another geographic area, we would incur significant transition costs as well as higher future overhead costs that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it may be common to engage in business practices that are prohibited by laws and regulations applicable to us, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (“FCPA”). Any violations of the FCPA or local anti-corruption laws by us, our subsidiaries or our local agents could have an adverse effect on our business and reputation and result in substantial financial penalties or other sanctions.

Our ability to collect payments on our financial products and services and maintain accurate accounts may be adversely affected by computer malware, social engineering, phishing, physical or electronic break-ins, undetected technical errors, bugs and similar disruptions.

The automated nature of our platform may make it an attractive target for hacking and potentially vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. It is possible that we may not be able to anticipate or to implement effective preventive measures against all security breaches of these types, in which case there would be an increased risk of fraud or identity theft, and we may experience losses on, or delays in the collection of amounts owed on, a fraudulently induced loan or payments relating to our other products and services. Security breaches could occur from outside our company, and also from the actions of persons inside our company who may have authorized or unauthorized access to our technology systems. In addition, the software that we have developed to use in our daily operations is highly complex and may contain undetected technical errors that could cause our computer systems to fail. Because many of the products and services we provide involve, in part, our proprietary automated decisioning processes, any failure of our computer systems involving our automated processes and any technical or other errors contained in the software pertaining to our automated processes could compromise our ability to accurately evaluate potential customers, which would negatively impact our results of operations. Furthermore, any failure of our computer systems could cause an interruption in operations and result in disruptions in, or reductions in the amount of, collections on fees and other amounts from our customers.

Additionally, if hackers were able to access our secure files, they might be able to gain access to the personal information of our customers. If we are unable to prevent such activity, we may be subject to significant liability, negative publicity and a material loss of customers, all of which may negatively affect our business.

Our platform and internal systems, and those of third parties upon whom we rely, rely on software that is highly technical, and if it contains undetected technical errors, our business could be adversely affected.

Our platform and internal systems rely on software that is highly technical and complex. In addition, our platform and internal systems depend on the ability of such software to store, retrieve, process and manage high volumes of data. The software upon which we rely may from time to time contain undetected technical errors or bugs. Some technical errors or bugs may only be discovered after the code has been released for external or internal use. Technical errors or other design defects within the software upon which we rely may result in failure to accurately predict a loan applicant’s creditworthiness or the suitability of other applicants for our other products and services, failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, approval of sub-optimally priced loans, incorrectly displayed interest rates or other fees to borrowers and other customers, or incorrectly charged interest or fees to borrowers and other customers or to third-party partners or institutional investors, failure to detect fraudulent activity on our platform, our inability to accurately evaluate potential customers, a negative experience for customers or third-party partners, delayed introductions of new features or enhancements or failure to protect customer data or our intellectual property or other sensitive data or proprietary information. Any technical errors, bugs or defects discovered in the software upon which we rely could result in harm to our reputation, loss of customers or bank partners, increased regulatory scrutiny, fines or penalties, loss of revenue or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Some aspects of our business processes include open source software, which poses risks that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open source licenses could negatively affect our business.

We incorporate open source software into processes supporting our business and anticipate using open source software in the future. Such open source software may include software covered by licenses like the GNU General Public License and the Apache License. The terms of various open source licenses to which we are subject have not

been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to operate our systems, limits our use of the software, inhibits certain aspects of our systems and negatively affects our business operations.

Some open source licenses contain requirements that we make source code publicly available or make available on unfavorable terms or at no cost, modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open source software we use.

While we monitor our use of open source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our proprietary source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open source license, such use could inadvertently occur, or could be claimed to have occurred, in part because open source license terms are often ambiguous. We may face claims from third parties claiming ownership of, or demanding the release or license of, modifications or derivative works that we have developed using such open source software (which could include our proprietary source code or artificial intelligence (“AI”) models), or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could result in litigation and if portions of our proprietary AI models or software are determined to be subject to an open source license, or if the license terms for the open source software that we incorporate change, we could be required to publicly release all or affected portions of our source code, purchase a costly license, cease offering the implicated products or services unless and until we can re-engineer such source code in a manner that avoids infringement, discontinue or delay the provision of our offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis or change our business activities, any of which could negatively affect our business operations and potentially our intellectual property rights. In addition, the re-engineering process could require us to expend significant additional research and development resources, and we may not be able to complete the re-engineering process successfully. If we were required to publicly disclose any portion of our proprietary models, it is possible we could lose the benefit of trade secret protection for our models.

In addition to risks related to license requirements, the use of certain open source software can lead to greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification, controls or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the origin of the software. There is little legal precedent in this area and any actual or claimed requirement to disclose our proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could harm our business and could help third parties, including our competitors, develop products and services that are similar to or better than ours. Use of open source software may also present additional security risks because the public availability of such software may make it easier for hackers and other third parties to determine how to breach our website and systems that rely on open source software. Any of these risks associated with the use of open source software could be difficult to eliminate or manage, and if not addressed, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Systems defects, failures or disruptions, including events beyond our control, and resulting interruptions in the availability of our websites, applications, products, or services could harm our business, harm our reputation, result in significant costs to us, decrease our potential profitability and expose us to substantial liability.

We use vendors, such as our cloud computing web services provider, account transaction and card processing companies, and third-party software providers, in the operation of our platform. The satisfactory performance, reliability, and availability of our technology and our underlying network and infrastructure are critical to our operations and reputation and the ability of our platform to attract new and retain existing customers. We rely on these vendors to protect their systems and facilities against damage or service interruptions from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, air quality issues, environmental conditions, computer viruses or attempts to harm these systems, criminal acts, unauthorized access, sabotage, acts of vandalism, military actions, negligence, human errors, fraud, spikes in platform use and denial of service issues, hardware failures, improper operation, cyberattacks, data loss, wars and similar events. If our arrangement with a vendor is terminated or if there is a lapse of service or damage to its systems or facilities, we could experience interruptions in our ability to operate our platform. We also may experience increased costs and difficulties in replacing that vendor and replacement services may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. In addition, our platform is accessed by many customers, often at the same time. As we continue to expand the number of our customers, and products and services available through our platform, we may not be able to scale our technology to accommodate the increased capacity requirements. The failure of data centers, internet service providers or other third-party service providers to meet our capacity requirements could result in interruptions or delays in access to our platform or impede our ability to grow our business and scale our operations. Any interruptions or delays in our platform availability, whether as

a result of a failure to perform on the part of a vendor, any damage to one of our vendor’s systems or facilities, the termination of any of our third-party vendor agreements, software failures, our or our vendor’s error, natural disasters, terrorism, other man-made problems, security breaches, whether accidental or willful, or other factors, could harm our relationships with our customers, prevent our customers from accessing their accounts, damage our reputation with current and potential customers, expose us to liability, cause us to lose customers, cause the loss of critical data, prevent us from supporting our platform, products or services or cause us to incur additional expense in arranging for new facilities and support or otherwise harm our business and also harm our reputation.

In addition, we source certain information from third parties. For example, our risk-scoring model is based on algorithms that evaluate a number of factors and currently depend on sourcing certain information from third parties, including consumer reporting agencies. In the event that any third party from which we source information experiences a service disruption, whether as a result of maintenance, natural disasters, terrorism, or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, or other factors, the ability to score and decision loan applications and applications for our other products and services through our platform may be adversely impacted. Additionally, there may be errors contained in the information provided by third parties. This may result in the inability to approve otherwise qualified applicants through our platform, which may adversely impact our business by negatively impacting our reputation and reducing our transaction volume.

To the extent we use or are dependent on any particular third-party data, technology, or software, we may also be harmed if such data, technology, or software becomes non-compliant with existing regulations or industry standards, becomes subject to third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violation, or malfunctions or functions in a way we did not anticipate. Any loss of the right to use any of this data, technology, or software could result in delays in the provisioning of our products and services until equivalent or replacement data, technology, or software is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained, and integrated, and there is no guarantee that we would be successful in developing, identifying, obtaining, or integrating equivalent or similar data, technology, or software, which could result in the loss or limiting of our products, services, or features available in our products or services.

In addition, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Our disaster recovery plan has not been tested under actual disaster conditions, and we may not have sufficient capacity to recover all data and services in the event of an outage. Furthermore, prolonged interruption in the availability, or reduction in the speed or other functionality, of our platform, products or services could materially harm our reputation and business. Any of the foregoing could prevent us from processing transactions or posting payments on our platform, damage our brand and reputation, divert the attention of our employees, reduce our revenue, subject us to liability, and cause customers to abandon our platform, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Demand for our products may decline if we do not continue to innovate or respond to evolving technological or other changes.

We operate in a dynamic industry characterized by rapidly evolving technology, frequent product introductions, and competition based on pricing and other differentiators. We rely on our proprietary technology to make the MoneyLion platform available to customers, to service customers and to introduce new products. In addition, we may increasingly rely on technological innovation as we introduce new types of products, expand our current products into new markets, and continue to streamline the MoneyLion platform. The process of developing new technologies and products is complex, and if we are unable to successfully innovate and continue to deliver a superior customer experience, customers’ demand for our products may decrease and our growth and operations may be harmed. Participants in our industry also compete on price, and our ability to meet the demand of our customers in this respect could affect our ability to maintain demand for our products and services.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation, examination, and oversight in a variety of areas, including registration and licensing requirements under federal, state and local laws and regulations.

We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination under United States federal and state laws and regulations. Regulators have broad discretion with respect to the interpretation, implementation, and enforcement of these laws and regulations, including through enforcement actions that could subject us to civil money penalties, customer remediations, increased compliance costs, and limits or prohibitions on our ability to offer certain products or services or to engage in certain activities. Any failure or perceived failure to comply

with any of these laws or regulations could subject us to lawsuits or governmental actions and/or damage our reputation, which could materially and adversely affect our business. In addition, to the extent that we undertake actions requiring regulatory approval or non-objection, regulators may make their approval or non-objection subject to conditions or restrictions that could have a material adverse effect on our business. Moreover, any competitors subject to different, or in some cases less restrictive, legislative or regulatory regimes may have or obtain a competitive advantage over us.

We are subject to the regulatory and enforcement authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which oversees compliance with federal consumer financial protection laws. In addition, if the CFPB were to expand its supervisory authority by promulgating new regulations, it is possible that the CFPB could be permitted to conduct periodic examination of our business, which may increase our risk of regulatory or enforcement actions. Further, we are regulated by many state regulatory agencies through licensing and other supervisory or enforcement authority, which includes regular examination by state governmental authorities.

In addition, our wholly-owned subsidiary, ML Wealth LLC (“ML Wealth”), is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and is subject to regulation by the SEC. The Advisers Act, together with related regulations and interpretations of the SEC, impose numerous obligations and restrictions on investment advisers, including requirements relating to the safekeeping of client funds and securities, limitations on advertising, disclosure and reporting obligations, prohibitions on fraudulent activities, restrictions on agency cross and principal transactions between an adviser and its advisory clients, and other detailed operating requirements, as well as general fiduciary obligations.

We are also subject to potential enforcement and other actions that may be brought by state attorneys general or other state enforcement authorities and other governmental agencies. Any such actions could subject us to civil money penalties and fines, customer remediations, and increased compliance costs, damage our reputation and brand and limit or prohibit our ability to offer certain products and services or engage in certain business practices. Further, in some cases, regardless of fault, it may be less time-consuming or costly to settle these matters, which may require us to implement certain changes to our business practices, provide remediation to certain individuals or make a settlement payment to a given party or regulatory body.

The legal and regulatory regimes governing certain of our products and services are uncertain and evolving. Changing laws, regulations, interpretations or regulatory enforcement priorities may negatively impact the management of our business, results of operations, ability to offer certain products or the terms and conditions upon which they are offered, and ability to compete.

We are required to comply with constantly changing federal, state, and local laws and regulations that regulate, among other things, the terms of the loans and other consumer receivables that we originate and the associated fees that may be charged. Federal and state regulators of consumer financial products and services are also enforcing existing laws, regulations, and rules more aggressively and enhancing their supervisory expectations regarding the management of legal and regulatory compliance risks. Changes in the laws, regulations and enforcement priorities applicable to our business could have a material impact on our business model, operations and financial position.

Such laws and regulations are complex and require us to incur significant expenses and devote significant management attention to ensure compliance. In addition, our failure to comply (or to ensure that our agents and third-party service providers comply) with these laws or regulations may result in litigation or enforcement actions, the penalties for which could include: revocation of licenses and registrations; fines and other monetary penalties; civil and criminal liability; substantially reduced payments by our customers; modification of the original terms of loans and other products, permanent forgiveness of debt, or inability to, directly or indirectly, collect all or a part of the principal of or interest on loans or other amounts owed by our customers; and indemnification claims. Such consequences could, among other things, require changes to our business practices and scope of operations or harm our reputation, which in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

In addition, the transition to a new Presidential Administration occurring in 2021 is expected to bring an increased focus on enforcement of federal consumer protection laws and appointment of consumer-oriented regulators at federal agencies such as the CFPB, the SEC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). It is possible that changes made by regulators in the Biden Administration could result in new requirements or restrictions that apply to us (or our third-party partners), impacting our business, operations, and profitability.

State attorneys general have indicated that they will take a more active role in enforcing consumer protection laws, including through use of Dodd-Frank Act provisions that authorize state attorneys general to enforce certain provisions of federal consumer financial laws and obtain civil money penalties and other relief available to the CFPB.

Further, we may not be able to respond quickly or effectively to regulatory, legislative, and other developments, and these changes may in turn impair our ability to offer our existing or planned features, products, and services and/or increase our cost of doing business. In addition, if our practices are not consistent or viewed as not consistent with legal and regulatory requirements, we may become subject to audits, inquiries, whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, or criminal or civil sanctions, all of which may have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

These regulatory changes and uncertainties make our business planning more difficult and could result in changes to our business model and potentially adversely impact the results of our operations. New laws or regulations also require us to incur significant expenses to ensure compliance. As compared to our competitors, we could be subject to more stringent state or local regulations or could incur marginally greater compliance costs as a result of regulatory changes.

Proposals to change the statutes affecting financial services companies are frequently introduced in Congress and state legislatures that, if enacted, may affect our operating environment in substantial and unpredictable ways. In addition, numerous federal and state regulators have the authority to promulgate or change regulations that could have a similar effect on our operating environment. We cannot determine with any degree of certainty whether any such legislative or regulatory proposals will be enacted and, if enacted, the ultimate impact that any such potential legislation or implementing regulations, or any such potential regulatory actions by federal or state regulators, would have upon our business.

In addition, we expect to continue to launch new products and services in the coming years, which may subject us to additional legal and regulatory requirements under federal, state and local laws and regulations, but which we expect to be similar to the legal and regulatory regimes to which we are already subject. We are currently evaluating the business and regulatory implications of offering a Buy Now Pay Later (“BNPL”) product to our customers directly through MoneyLion-controlled lending subsidiaries or offering it through a partnership with an originating bank. Depending on the model we choose, we may be subject to additional or different state lending licensing requirements or contractual requirements under arrangements with a bank partner. We also anticipate launching a credit card product in the future, which would also be provided in partnership with a credit card issuing bank. Depending on the terms of the credit card product, we may need to comply with additional legal, regulatory and contractual obligations, including card association rules. In 2021, we also anticipate making certain cryptocurrency-related products or services available to our customers through one or more regulated partners. On March 26, 2021, we signed a licensing and cooperation agreement with Zero Hash LLC and Zero Hash Liquidity Services LLC (collectively, “Zero Hash”), both of which are registered as money services businesses and have the necessary state-level licenses for engaging in digital assets activities where the Zero Hash services are offered. Under the terms of the agreement, we will not be directly involved in any cryptocurrency transactions or the exchange of fiat funds for cryptocurrency at or through Zero Hash, and therefore, we do not currently expect to be subject to money services business, money transmitter licensing, or other licensing or regulatory requirements specific to transactions relating to virtual currencies. Zero Hash will remain primarily liable for its digital assets activities, and the agreement specifically requires Zero Hash to indemnify us for, among other things, Zero Hash’s failure to perform or comply with the provisions of the agreement, any claims or disputes concerning Zero Hash’s provision of cryptocurrency services, and any failure by Zero Hash to comply with applicable laws and regulations. To the extent claims are made against us and/or we incur liabilities as a result of any such failures, claims or disputes by Zero Hash and Zero Hash is not able to indemnify us for such claims or liabilities, we may suffer losses. With respect to each of our new product offerings, to the extent the application of federal, state, and local laws or regulations to these products is unclear or evolving, including changing interpretations and the implementation of new or varying regulatory requirements by federal or state governments and regulators, this may significantly affect or change our proposed business model, increase our operating expenses and hinder or delay our anticipated launch timelines for new products and services.

New laws, regulations, policy or changes in enforcement of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business, or reexamination of current practices, could adversely impact our profitability, limit our ability to continue existing or pursue new business activities, require us to change certain of our business practices or alter its

relationships with customers, affect retention of key personnel, or expose us to additional costs (including increased compliance costs and/or customer remediation). These changes also may require us to invest significant resources, and devote significant management attention, to make any necessary changes and could adversely affect our business.

If loans made by us under our state lending licenses are found to violate applicable state interest rate limits or other provisions of applicable state lending and other laws, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

The loans we originate pursuant to our state licenses are subject to state licensing and interest rate restrictions, as well as numerous state requirements regarding consumer protection, interest rate, disclosure, prohibitions on certain activities, and loan term lengths. If the loans we originate pursuant to our state licenses were deemed subject to and in violation of certain state consumer finance or other laws, we could be subject to fines, damages, injunctive relief (including required modification or discontinuation of our business in certain areas), and other penalties or consequences, and the loans could be rendered void or unenforceable in whole or in part, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

If we operate without having obtained necessary state or local licenses, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Certain states have adopted laws regulating and requiring licensing, registration, notice filing, or other approval by parties that engage in certain activity regarding consumer finance transactions, including facilitating and assisting such transactions in certain circumstances. Furthermore, certain states and localities have also adopted laws requiring licensing, registration, notice filing, or other approval for consumer debt collection or servicing, and/or purchasing or selling consumer loans. We have also received inquiries from state regulatory agencies regarding requirements to obtain licenses from or register with those states, including in states where we have determined that we are not required to obtain such a license or be registered with the state, and we expect to continue to receive such inquiries. The application of some consumer financial licensing laws to our platform and the related activities it performs is unclear. In addition, state licensing requirements may evolve over time, including, in particular, recent trends toward increased licensing requirements and regulation of parties engaged in loan solicitation activities. If we were found to be in violation of applicable state licensing requirements by a court or a state, federal, or local enforcement agency, or agree to resolve such concerns by voluntary agreement, we could be subject to or agree to pay fines, damages, injunctive relief (including required modification or discontinuation of our business in certain areas), criminal penalties, and other penalties or consequences, and the loans facilitated through our platform could be rendered void or unenforceable in whole or in part, any of which could have an adverse effect on the enforceability or collectability of the loans facilitated through our platform.

The highly regulated environment in which our third-party financial institution partners operate may subject us to regulation and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Our third-party partners are subject to federal and state supervision and regulation. Federal regulation of the banking and investment industries, along with tax and accounting laws, regulations, rules, and standards, may limit their operations significantly and control the methods by which they conduct business. In addition, compliance with laws and regulations can be difficult and costly, and changes to laws and regulations can impose additional compliance requirements. Regulatory requirements affect our third-party partners’ banking and investment practices, among other aspects of their business, and restrict transactions between us and our third-party partners. These requirements may constrain the operations of our third-party partners, and the adoption of new laws and changes to, or repeal of, existing laws may have a further impact on our business.

In choosing whether and how to conduct business with us, current and prospective third-party partners can be expected to take into account the legal, regulatory, and supervisory regime that applies to them, including potential changes in the application or interpretation of regulatory standards, licensing requirements, or supervisory expectations. Regulators may elect to alter standards or the interpretation of the standards used to measure regulatory compliance or to determine the adequacy of liquidity, certain risk management, or other operational practices for financial services companies in a manner that impacts our current and prospective third-party partners.

Furthermore, the regulatory agencies have extremely broad discretion in their interpretation of the regulations and laws and their interpretation of the quality of our third-party partners’ assets. If any regulatory agency’s assessment of the quality of our third-party partners’ assets, operations, lending practices, investment practices, or other aspects of their business changes, it may reduce our third-party partners’ earnings, capital ratios, and share price in such a way that affects our business.

Bank holding companies and financial institutions are extensively regulated and currently face an uncertain regulatory environment. Applicable state and federal laws, regulations, and interpretations, including enforcement policies and accounting principles have been subject to significant changes in recent years, and may be subject to significant future changes. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the substance or effect of pending or future legislation or regulation or the application of laws and regulations to our current and prospective third-party partners. Future changes may have an adverse effect on our current and prospective third-party partners and, therefore, on us.

The collection, processing, use, storage, sharing and transmission of PII and other sensitive data are subject to stringent and changing state, federal and international laws, regulations and standards and policies and could give rise to liabilities as a result of our failure or perceived failure to protect such data, comply with privacy and data protection laws and regulations or adhere to the privacy and data protection practices that we articulate to our customers.

In the course of our operations and the processing of transactions, we collect, process, store, disclose, use, share and/or transmit a large volume of PII and other sensitive data from current, past and prospective customers as well as our employees in and across multiple jurisdictions. The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. There are federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy, data security and the collection, processing, use, storage, protection, sharing and/or transmission of PII and sensitive data. For example, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) (along with its implementing regulations) restricts certain collection, processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal information, requires notice to individuals of privacy practices and provides individuals with certain rights to prevent the use and disclosure of certain nonpublic or otherwise legally protected information. Additionally, many states continue to enact legislation on matters of privacy, information security, cybersecurity, data breach and data breach notification requirements. For example, as of January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) grants additional consumer rights with respect to data privacy in California. The CCPA, among other things, entitles California residents to know how their PII is being collected and shared, to access or request the deletion of their PII and to opt out of certain sharing of their PII. The CCPA is subject to further amendments pending certain proposed regulations that are being reviewed and revised by the California Attorney General. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for certain data breaches that result in the loss of PII. This private right of action may increase the likelihood of, and risks associated with, data breach litigation. We cannot predict the impact of the CCPA on our business, operations or financial condition, but it could require us to modify certain processes or procedures, which could result in additional costs and liability.

Additionally, a new California ballot initiative, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) was passed in November 2020. Effective starting on January 1, 2023, the CPRA imposes additional obligations on companies covered by the legislation and will significantly modify the CCPA, including by expanding customers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive PII. The CPRA also creates a new state agency that will be vested with authority to implement and enforce the CCPA and the CPRA. The effects of the CCPA and the CPRA are potentially significant and may require us to modify our data collection or processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply and increase our potential exposure to regulatory enforcement and/or litigation.

We expect more states to enact legislation similar to the CCPA and the CPRA, which provide customers with new privacy rights and increase the privacy and security obligations of entities handling certain PII of such customers. The CCPA has prompted a number of proposals for new federal and state-level privacy legislation, such as in Nevada, New Hampshire, Illinois and Nebraska, as well as in Virginia, which recently signed such legislation, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), into law on March 2, 2021 with an effective date of January 1, 2023. In addition, on July 7, 2021, Colorado enacted the Colorado Privacy Act (the “CoPA”), becoming the third comprehensive consumer privacy law to be passed in the United States (after the CCPA and VCDPA). The CoPA is set to take effect on July 1, 2023. The VCDPA, CoPA and such other proposed legislation, if enacted, may add additional complexity, variation in requirements, restrictions and potential legal risk, require additional investment of resources in compliance programs, impact strategies and the availability of previously useful data and could result in increased compliance costs and/or changes in business practices and policies.

Additionally, our investment adviser, ML Wealth, and broker-dealer, MoneyLion Securities LLC, are subject to SEC Regulation S-P, which requires that businesses maintain policies and procedures addressing the protection of customer information and records. This includes protecting against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of customer records and information and against unauthorized access to or use of customer records or information. Regulation S-P also requires businesses to provide initial and annual privacy notices to customers describing information sharing policies and informing customers of their rights.

Because the interpretation and application of many privacy and data protection laws are uncertain, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or the features of our services and platform capabilities. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our platform, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any violations or perceived violations of these laws, rules and regulations by us, or any third parties with which we do business, may require us to change our business practices or operational structure, including limiting our activities in certain states and/or jurisdictions, addressing legal claims by governmental entities or private actors, sustaining monetary penalties, sustaining reputational damage, expending substantial costs, time and other resources and/or sustaining other harms to our business. Furthermore, our online, external-facing privacy policy and website make certain statements regarding our privacy, information security, and data security practices with regard to information collected from our customers or visitors to our website. Failure or perceived failure to adhere to such practices may result in regulatory scrutiny and investigation, complaints by affected customers or visitors to our website, reputational damage and/or other harm to our business. If either we, or the third-party service providers with which we share customer data, are unable to address privacy concerns, even if unfounded, or to comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, regulations and policies, it could result in additional costs and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Cyberattacks and other security breaches or disruptions suffered by us or third parties upon which we rely could have a materially adverse effect on our business, harm our reputation and expose us to public scrutiny or liability.

In the normal course of business, we collect, process, use and retain sensitive and confidential information regarding our customers and prospective customers, including data provided by and related to customers and their transactions, as well as other data of the counterparties to their payments. We also have arrangements in place with certain third-party service providers that require us to share consumer information. Although we devote resources and management focus to ensuring the integrity of our systems through information security and business continuity programs, our facilities and systems, and those of third-party service providers, are vulnerable to actual or threatened external or internal security breaches, acts of vandalism, theft, or fraud or misconduct on the part of employees, other internal sources or third parties, computer viruses, phishing attacks, internet interruptions, disruptions or losses, misplaced or lost data, ransomware, unauthorized encryption, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering, unauthorized access, spam or other attacks, natural disasters, fires, terrorism, war, telecommunications or electrical interruptions or failures, programming or human errors or malfeasance, and other similar malicious or inadvertent disruptions or events. We and our third-party service providers from time to time experience such instances. For example, we recently experienced an account takeover incident where an unknown third party(ies) utilized password and other customer credentials found outside of MoneyLion to successfully gain access to user accounts. In some cases, the bad actors facilitated unauthorized financial transactions. Our investigation to date shows no signs that our systems were actually breached by the bad actors, and we have compensated and made whole the customers whose accounts were accessed and financially impacted. We are working with our banking partners and advisors to provide notices to affected customers and relevant regulators, and expect to incur total costs and expenses associated with the incident that are immaterial to our financial statements and operations. We also face security threats from malicious third parties that could obtain unauthorized access to our systems and networks, which threats we anticipate will continue to grow in scope and complexity over time. These events could interrupt our business or operations, result in legal claims or proceedings, result in significant legal and financial exposure, supervisory liability under U.S. federal or state, or non-U.S. laws regarding the privacy and protection of information, including PII, damage to our reputation and a loss of confidence in the security of our systems, products and services. Although the impact to date from these events has not had a material adverse effect on us, no assurance is given that this will be the case in the future.

Information security risks in the financial services industry have increased recently, in part because of new technologies, the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies (including mobile devices) to conduct financial and other business transactions and the increased sophistication and activities of organized criminals, perpetrators of fraud, hackers, terrorists and other malicious third parties. In addition to cyberattacks and other security

breaches involving the theft of sensitive and confidential information, hackers, terrorists, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors and other malicious third parties recently have engaged in attacks that are designed to disrupt key business services, such as consumer-facing websites. We and our third-party service providers may not be able to anticipate or implement effective preventive measures against all security breaches of these types, especially because the techniques used to sabotage or to obtain unauthorized access to our or our third-party service providers’ technology, systems, networks and/or physical facilities in which data is stored or through which data is transmitted change frequently and because attacks can originate from a wide variety of sources. We employ detection and response mechanisms designed to contain and mitigate security incidents. Nonetheless, early detection efforts may be thwarted by sophisticated attacks and malware designed to avoid detection. We also may fail to detect the existence of a security breach related to the information of our customers and to prevent or detect service interruption, system failure or data loss. Further, as the current COVID-19 pandemic continues to result in a significant number of people working from home, these cybersecurity risks may be heightened by an increased attack surface across our business and those of our customers and third-party service providers. We cannot guarantee that our efforts, or the efforts of those upon whom we rely and partner with, will be successful in preventing any such information security incidents.

The access by unauthorized persons to, or the improper disclosure by us of, confidential information regarding our customers or our proprietary information, software, methodologies and business secrets could interrupt our business or operations, result in significant legal and financial exposure, supervisory liability, damage to our reputation or a loss of confidence in the security of our systems, products and services, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, there recently have been a number of well-publicized attacks or breaches affecting companies in the financial services industry that have heightened concern by customers, which could also intensify regulatory focus, cause customers to lose trust in the security of the industry in general and result in reduced use of our services and increased costs, all of which could also have a material adverse effect on our business.

Most jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals, regulatory authorities and others of security breaches involving certain types of data. In addition, our agreements with certain partners and service providers may require us to notify them in the event of a security breach. Such mandatory disclosures are costly, could lead to negative publicity, may cause our customers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to and/or alleviate problems caused by the actual or perceived security breach. A security breach of any of our vendors that processes PII of our customers may pose similar risks.

A security breach may also cause us to breach customer contracts. Our agreements with certain partners and service providers may require us to use industry-standard or reasonable measures to safeguard PII. We also may be subject to laws that require us to use industry-standard or reasonable security measures to safeguard PII. A security breach could lead to claims by our customers or other relevant stakeholders that we have failed to comply with such legal or contractual obligations. As a result, we could be subject to legal action or our customers could end their relationships with us. There can be no assurance that the limitations of liability in our contracts would be enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect us from liabilities or damages, and in some cases our customer agreements may not limit our remediation costs or liability with respect to data breaches.

Litigation resulting from security breaches may adversely affect our business. Unauthorized access to our technology, systems, networks, or physical facilities, or those of our third-party service providers, could result in litigation with our customers or other relevant stakeholders. These proceedings could force us to spend money in defense or settlement, divert management’s time and attention, increase our costs of doing business, or adversely affect our reputation. We could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our products and/or technology capabilities in response to such litigation, which could have an adverse effect on our business. If a security breach were to occur, and the confidentiality, integrity or availability of PII was disrupted, we could incur significant liability, or our technology, systems or networks may be perceived as less desirable, which could negatively affect our business and damage our reputation.

We may not have adequate insurance coverage. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage, or results in changes to our insurance policies (including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements), could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, we cannot be sure that our existing insurance coverage and coverage for errors and omissions will continue to be available on acceptable terms or that our insurers will not deny coverage as to any future claim.

While we take precautions to prevent consumer identity fraud, it is possible that identity fraud may still occur or has occurred, which may adversely affect the performance of our products and services or subject us to scrutiny or penalties.

There is risk of fraudulent activity associated with our platform, customers, service providers and third parties handling consumer information. Our resources, technologies, and fraud prevention tools may be insufficient to accurately detect and prevent fraud. The level of fraud-related charge-offs on the loans and other products and services facilitated through our platform could be adversely affected if fraudulent activity were to significantly increase. Significant amounts of fraudulent cancellations or chargebacks could adversely affect our business or financial condition. High profile fraudulent activity or significant increases in fraudulent activity could also lead to regulatory intervention, negative publicity, and the erosion of trust from our customers, and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, and cash flows.

We may be unable to sufficiently obtain, maintain, protect, or enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, which could reduce the value of our platform, products, services and brand, impair our competitive position and cause reputational harm.

Intellectual property and other proprietary rights are important to the success of our business. Our ability to compete effectively is dependent in part upon our ability to obtain, maintain, protect, and enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, including with respect to our proprietary technology, and to obtain licenses to use the intellectual property and proprietary rights of others. We rely on a combination of trademarks, service marks, copyrights, trade secrets, domain names and contractual rights to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We own the domain name rights for moneylion.com, and, as of June 30, 2021, we owned 22 registered trademarks and four trademark applications in the United States. Nonetheless, the steps we take to obtain, maintain, protect, and enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights may be inadequate and, despite our efforts to protect these rights, unauthorized third parties, including our competitors, may duplicate, mimic, reverse engineer, access, obtain, or use the proprietary aspects of our technology, processes, products, or services without our permission, thereby impeding our ability to promote our platform and possibly leading to customer confusion. Our competitors and other third parties may also design around or independently develop similar technology or otherwise duplicate or mimic our services or products such that we would not be able to successfully assert our intellectual property or other proprietary rights against them. We have filed, and may continue in the future to file, applications to protect certain of our innovations and intellectual property. We cannot assure that any future patent, trademark, or service mark registrations will be issued for our pending or future applications or that any of our current or future patents, copyrights, trademarks, or service marks (whether registered or unregistered) will be valid, enforceable, sufficiently broad in scope, provide adequate protection of our intellectual property or other proprietary rights, or provide us with any competitive advantage.

Our trademarks, trade names, and service marks have significant value, and our brand is an important factor in the marketing of our services. We rely on, and intend to rely on, both registrations and common law protections for our trademarks. However, we may be unable to prevent competitors or other third parties from acquiring or using trademarks, service marks, or other intellectual property or other proprietary rights that are similar to, infringe upon, misappropriate, dilute, or otherwise violate or diminish the value of our trademarks and service marks and our other intellectual property and proprietary rights. The value of our intellectual property and other proprietary rights could diminish if others assert rights in or ownership of our intellectual property or other proprietary rights, or in trademarks or service marks that are similar to our trademarks or service marks. Additionally, if third parties succeed in registering or developing common law rights in such trademarks or similar trademarks, and if we are not successful in challenging such third-party rights, we may not be able to use these trademarks to develop brand recognition of our platform, products or services. If we are unable to establish name recognition based on our trademarks and trade names, we may not be able to compete effectively, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition to registered intellectual property rights such as trademark registrations, we rely on non-registered proprietary information and technology, such as trade secrets, confidential information, know-how and technical information. In order to protect our proprietary information and technology, we rely in part on confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees and contractors involved in the development of material intellectual property for us, which require such individuals to assign such intellectual property to us and place restrictions on the employees’ and contractors’ use and disclosure of our confidential information. However,

these agreements may not be self-executing, and we cannot guarantee that we have entered into such agreements containing obligations of confidentiality with each party that has or may have had access to proprietary information, know-how, or trade secrets owned or held by us. Individuals that were involved in the development of intellectual property for us or who had access to our intellectual property may make adverse ownership claims to our current and future intellectual property. Likewise, to the extent that our employees, independent contractors or other third parties with whom we do business use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting works of authorship, know-how and inventions. Moreover, our contractual arrangements may be insufficient or breached or may otherwise not effectively prevent disclosure of, or control access to, our confidential or otherwise proprietary information or provide an adequate remedy in the event of an unauthorized disclosure, which could cause us to lose any competitive advantage resulting from this intellectual property. The measures we have put in place may not prevent misappropriation, infringement, or other violation of our intellectual property or other proprietary rights or information and any resulting loss of competitive advantage, and we may be required to litigate to protect our intellectual property or other proprietary rights or information from misappropriation, infringement, or other violation by others, which is time-consuming and expensive, could cause a diversion of resources, and may not be successful, even when our rights have been infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated. Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, and if such defenses, counterclaims, or countersuits are successful, it could diminish or we could otherwise lose valuable intellectual property and other proprietary rights. Furthermore, changes to U.S. or foreign intellectual property laws and regulations may jeopardize the enforceability and validity of our intellectual property portfolio and harm our ability to obtain patent protection, including for some of our unique business methods. Additionally, the laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property and other proprietary rights as those in the United States, and the mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property and other proprietary rights may be inadequate.

Furthermore, third parties may challenge, invalidate, or circumvent our intellectual property and proprietary rights, including through administrative processes or litigation. The legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability, and scope of protection of intellectual property and other proprietary rights are uncertain and still evolving. Our intellectual property and other proprietary rights may not be sufficient to provide us with a competitive advantage and the value of our intellectual property and other proprietary rights could also diminish if others assert rights therein or ownership thereof, and we may be unable to successfully resolve any such conflicts in our favor or to our satisfaction.

We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of their intellectual property or other proprietary rights which may be costly and may subject us to significant liability and increased costs of doing business.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to develop and commercialize our products and services without infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of third parties.

We may become involved in disputes from time to time concerning intellectual property or other proprietary rights of third parties, which may relate to our own proprietary technology, or to technology that we acquire or license from third parties, and we may not prevail in these disputes. Relatedly, competitors or other third parties may raise claims alleging that we, service providers or other third parties retained or indemnified by us, infringe on, misappropriate, or otherwise violate such competitors’ or other third parties’ intellectual property or other proprietary rights. These claims of infringement, misappropriation, or other violation may be extremely broad, and it may not be possible for us to conduct our operations in such a way as to avoid all such alleged violations of such intellectual property or other proprietary rights. We also may be unaware of third-party intellectual property or other proprietary rights that cover or otherwise relate to some or all of our products and services. For example, there may be issued patents of which we are not aware, held by third parties that, if found to be valid and enforceable, could be alleged to be infringed by our current or future technologies or products. There also may be pending patent applications of which we are not aware that may result in issued patents, which could be alleged to be infringed by our current or future technologies or products. Because patent applications can take years to issue and are often afforded confidentiality for some period of time there may currently be pending applications, unknown to us, that later result in issued patents that could cover our current or future technologies or products.

Given the complex, rapidly changing, and competitive technological and business environment in which we operate, and the potential risks and uncertainties of intellectual property-related litigation, a claim of infringement, misappropriation, or other violation against us may require us to spend significant amounts of time and other resources to defend against the claim (even if we ultimately prevail), pay significant money damages, make significant payments for legal fees, settlement payments or other costs, lose significant revenues, be prohibited from using the relevant systems, processes, technologies, or other intellectual property (temporarily or permanently), cease offering certain products or services, obtain a license, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, to sell or use the relevant technology or redesign our allegedly infringing products or services or functionality therein to avoid infringement, misappropriation or other violations, which could be costly, time-consuming, or impossible, rebrand our products and services and/or be prevented from selling some of our products or services if third parties successfully oppose or challenge our trademarks or successfully claim that we infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate their trademarks or other intellectual property rights, and/or limit the manner in which we use our brands. In addition, if a third party is able to obtain an injunction preventing us from accessing such third-party intellectual property rights, or if we cannot license or develop alternative technology for any infringing aspect of our business, we may be forced to limit or stop sales of our relevant products and technology capabilities or cease business activities related to such intellectual property. We cannot predict the outcome of lawsuits and cannot ensure that the results of any such actions will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Some of the aforementioned risks of infringement, misappropriation or other violation, in particular with respect to patents, are potentially increased due to the nature of our business, industry, and intellectual property portfolio. For instance, it has become common in recent years for certain third parties to purchase patents or other intellectual property assets for the sole purpose of making claims of infringement, misappropriation, or other violation in an attempt to extract settlements from companies such as ours. In addition, many companies have the capability to dedicate substantially greater resources to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought against them than we can. In a patent infringement claim against us, we may assert, as a defense, that we do not infringe the relevant patent claims, that the patent is invalid, or both. The strength of our defenses may depend on the patents asserted, the interpretation of these patents, or our ability to invalidate the asserted patents. However, we could be unsuccessful in advancing non-infringement and/or invalidity arguments in our defense. In the United States, issued patents enjoy a presumption of validity, and the party challenging the validity of a patent claim must present clear and convincing evidence of invalidity, which is a high burden of proof. Conversely, the patent owner need only prove infringement by a preponderance of the evidence, which is a lower burden of proof. We do not currently have a patent portfolio, which could prevent us from deterring patent infringement claims from competitors or other third parties and our competitors and others may now and in the future have significantly larger and more mature patent portfolios than we may have. Any litigation may also involve patent holding companies or other adverse patent owners that have no relevant product revenue, and therefore, any future patents we may have may provide little or no deterrence as we would not be able to assert them against such entities or individuals.

In addition to the previously mentioned impacts of intellectual property-related litigation, while in some cases a third party may have agreed to indemnify us for costs associated with intellectual property-related litigation, such indemnifying third party may refuse or be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. In other cases, our insurance may not cover potential claims of this type adequately or at all, and we may be required to pay monetary damages, which may be significant.

Even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and harm our business and operating results. Moreover, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock. The occurrence of infringement and misappropriation claims may grow as the market for our platform and products grows. Accordingly, our exposure to damages resulting from infringement claims could increase and this could further exhaust our financial and management resources. Any of the foregoing could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business and platform depend in part on intellectual property and proprietary rights and technology licensed from or otherwise made available to us by third parties. If we fail to comply with our obligations under license or technology agreements with third parties, we may be required to pay damages and we could lose license rights that are critical to our business.

Our business and our platform rely on technologies developed or licensed by third parties. These third-party software components may become obsolete, defective or incompatible with future versions of our services, relationships with the third-party licensors or technology providers may deteriorate, or our agreements with the third-party licensors or technology providers may expire or be terminated. Additionally, some of these licenses or other grants of rights may not be available to us in the future on terms that are acceptable, or at all, or that allow our platform, products and services to remain competitive. Our inability to obtain licenses or rights on favorable terms could have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Furthermore, incorporating intellectual property or proprietary rights licensed from or otherwise made available to us by third parties on a non-exclusive basis in our products or services could limit our ability to protect the intellectual property and proprietary rights in our services and our ability to restrict third parties from developing, selling or otherwise providing similar or competitive technology using the same third-party intellectual property or proprietary rights.

We believe we have all the necessary licenses and other grants of rights from third parties to use technology and software that we do not own. A third party could, however, allege that we are infringing its rights, which may deter our ability to obtain licenses or other grants of rights on commercially reasonable terms from the third party, if at all, or cause the third party to commence litigation against us. Our failure to obtain necessary licenses or other rights, or litigation or claims arising out of intellectual property matters, may harm or restrict our business. In addition, we could be found liable for significant monetary damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees, if we are found to have willfully infringed a patent or other intellectual property right. Any such litigation or the failure to obtain any necessary licenses or other rights could adversely impact our business, financial position and results of operations.

Failure to comply with anti-money laundering, economic and trade sanctions regulations, and similar laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We maintain an enterprise-wide program designed to enable us to comply with all applicable anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws and regulations, including the Bank Secrecy Act and the Patriot Act. This program includes policies, procedures, processes, and other internal controls designed to identify, monitor, manage, and mitigate the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing. These controls include procedures and processes to detect and report potentially suspicious transactions, perform consumer due diligence, respond to requests from law enforcement, and meet all recordkeeping and reporting requirements related to particular transactions involving currency or monetary instruments. We are required to maintain this program under our agreements with our third-party partners, and certain state regulatory agencies have intimated they expect the program to be in place and followed. We cannot provide any assurance that our programs and controls will be effective to ensure compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws and regulations we are required to comply with, and our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in a breach and termination of our agreements with our third-party partners or criticism by state governmental agencies, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

We have in the past, and continue to be, subject to inquiries, subpoenas, exams, pending investigations, and enforcement matters by state and federal regulators, the outcome of which is uncertain and could cause reputational and financial harm to our business and results of operations.

The financial services industry is subject to extensive regulation under federal, state, and applicable international laws. From time to time, we have been, and continue to be, subject to inquiries, subpoenas, pending investigations, and enforcement matters by state and federal regulators and have been threatened with or named as a defendant in lawsuits, arbitrations and administrative claims involving securities, consumer financial services and other matters. We are also subject to periodic regulatory examinations and inspections. Compliance and trading problems that are reported to regulators, such as the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the CFPB, or state regulators, by dissatisfied customers or others are investigated by such regulators, and may, if pursued, result in formal claims being filed against us by customers or disciplinary action being taken

against us or our employees by regulators or enforcement agencies. To resolve issues raised in examinations or other governmental actions, we may be required to take various corrective actions, including changing certain business practices, making refunds or taking other actions that could be financially or competitively detrimental to us. We expect to continue to incur costs to comply with governmental regulations. Any such claims or disciplinary actions that are decided against us could have a material impact on our financial results. For a discussion of specific legal and regulatory proceedings, inquiries and investigations, to which we are currently subject, please refer to “Business of New MoneyLion–Legal and Regulatory Proceedings.”

Unfavorable outcomes in legal proceedings may harm our business and results of operations.

We are, and may in the future become, subject to litigation, claims, examinations, investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings, whether civil or criminal, or lawsuits by governmental agencies or private parties, which may affect our results of operations. These claims, lawsuits, and proceedings could involve labor and employment, discrimination and harassment, commercial disputes, intellectual property rights (including patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, and other proprietary rights), class actions, general contract, tort, defamation, data privacy rights, antitrust, common law fraud, government regulation, or compliance, alleged federal and state securities and “blue sky” law violations or other investor claims, and other matters. Due to the consumer-oriented nature of our business and the application of certain laws and regulations, participants in our industry are regularly named as defendants in litigation alleging violations of federal and state laws and regulations and consumer law torts, including fraud. Many of these legal proceedings involve alleged violations of consumer protection laws. In addition, we have in the past and may in the future be subject to litigation, claims, examinations, investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings related to our loan products and other financial services we provide. For instance, our membership model and some of the products and services we offer are relatively novel and have been subject to limited regulatory scrutiny, but there has been, and may continue to be, increasing regulatory interest in and/or litigation challenging our membership model, our products or services.

Any unfavorable results of pending or future legal proceedings may result in contractual damages, usury related claims, fines, penalties, injunctions, the unenforceability, rescission or other impairment of loans originated on our platform or other censure that could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Even if we adequately address the issues raised by an investigation or proceeding or successfully defend a third-party lawsuit or counterclaim, we may have to devote significant financial and management resources to address these issues, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in tax law and differences in interpretation of tax laws and regulations may adversely impact our financial statements.

We operate in multiple jurisdictions and are subject to tax laws and regulations of the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. governments. U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax laws and regulations are complex and subject to varying interpretations. U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax authorities may interpret tax laws and regulations differently than we do and challenge tax positions that we have taken. This may result in differences in the treatment of revenues, deductions, credits and/or differences in the timing of these items. The differences in treatment may result in payment of additional taxes, interest or penalties that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Further, future changes to U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax laws and regulations could increase our tax obligations in jurisdictions where we do business or require us to change the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business.

As the regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and machine learning technology evolves, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and machine learning technology is evolving and remains uncertain. It is possible that new laws and regulations will be adopted in the United States, or existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in new ways, that would affect the operation of our platform and the way in which we use artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, including with respect to fair lending laws. Further, the cost to comply with such laws or regulations could be significant and would increase our operating expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unsuccessful in managing the effects of changes in the cost of capital on our business.

We may need to raise funds in the future, for example, to develop new technologies, expand our business, respond to competitive pressures and make acquisitions. We may try to raise additional funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements.

Our ability to obtain debt or equity funding will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, interest rates, our operating performance, our credit rating and investor interest. Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to reduce expenditures, including curtailing our growth strategies, foregoing acquisitions or reducing our business development efforts. If we succeed in raising additional funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities, then existing stockholders could experience substantial dilution. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these new securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. In addition, any such issuance could subject us to restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. Further, to the extent we incur additional indebtedness or such other obligations, the risks associated with our existing debt, including our possible inability to service our existing debt, would increase.

Our projections are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. As a result, our projected revenues, market share, expenses and profitability may differ materially from our expectations.

We operate in a rapidly changing and competitive industry and our projections will be subject to the risks and assumptions made by management with respect to our industry. Operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on a number of factors, including the competition we face, and our ability to attract and retain customers and enterprise partnerships, while generating sustained revenues. Additionally, our business may be affected by reductions in consumer borrowing, spending and investing from time to time as a result of a number of factors which may be difficult to predict. This may result in decreased revenue levels, and we may be unable to adopt measures in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in income. This inability could cause our operating results in a given quarter to be higher or lower than expected. These factors make creating accurate forecasts and budgets challenging and, as a result, we may fall materially short of our forecasts and expectations, which could cause our stock price to decline and investors to lose confidence in us.

Real or perceived inaccuracies in our key operating metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business.

We track certain key operating metrics such as total payment volume, total originations and total customers with internal systems and tools that are not independently verified by any third party. While the metrics presented in this prospectus are based on what we believe to be reasonable assumptions and estimates, our internal systems and tools have a number of limitations, and our methodologies for tracking these metrics may change over time. In addition, limitations or errors with respect to how we measure data or with respect to the data that we measure may affect our understanding of certain details of our business, which could affect our long-term strategies. If the internal systems and tools we use to track these metrics understate or overstate performance or contain algorithmic or other technical errors, the key operating metrics we report may not be accurate. If investors do not perceive our operating metrics to be accurate, or if we discover material inaccuracies with respect to these figures, our reputation may be significantly harmed, and our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations of the applicable listing standards of the NYSE. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will

file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We are also continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs, and significant management oversight. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business.

The nature of our business is such that our financial statements involve a number of complex accounting policies, many of which involve significant elements of judgment, including determinations regarding the consolidation of variable interest entities, determinations regarding the fair value of financial assets and liabilities (including loans and other consumer receivables, notes receivable and notes payable) and the appropriate classification of various items within our financial statements. The inherent complexity of these accounting matters and the nature and variety of transactions in which we are involved require that we have sufficient qualified accounting personnel with an appropriate level of experience and controls in our financial reporting process commensurate with the complexity of our business. While we believe we have sufficient internal accounting personnel and external resources and appropriate controls to address the demands of our business, we expect that the growth and development of our business will place significant additional demands on our accounting resources. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our results of operations or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on the NYSE. We are not currently required to comply with the SEC rules that implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. As a public company, we will be required to provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. There can be no assurance that we will maintain internal control over financial reporting sufficient to enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition and could cause a decline in the trading price of our common stock.

MoneyLion has identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. If MoneyLion is unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results after the Business Combination in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of an entity’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Subsequent to the issuance of MoneyLion’s consolidated financial statements, MoneyLion has restated its previously issued financial statements with respect to the treatment of the noncontrolling interests attributable to the Class B investors of IIA. For additional information with respect to the restatement, see “Note 2” to MoneyLion’s audited financial statement included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

MoneyLion has identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. MoneyLion did not maintain an effective control environment as there were certain areas in which the accounting function did not operate as expected, resulting in an audit adjustment, an entry on the schedule of uncorrected misstatements or

a restatement of previously issued financial statements. In particular, there is a restatement related to an error in the recognition of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in MoneyLion’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and, after reassessing the interpretation of authoritative guidance, there is a restatement related to the classification of the equity associated with the noncontrolling interests of the IIA investors in IIA.

Effective internal controls are necessary to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. MoneyLion continues to evaluate steps to remediate this material weakness and is in the process of remediating the control deficiencies that relate to the material weakness. We intend to have this remediation completed and the appropriate controls in place by the end of 2021. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete this remediation and put the appropriate controls in place within this timeframe. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

If MoneyLion identifies any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit its ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of its accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures MoneyLion has taken to date, or any measures it may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

Any acquisitions, strategic investments, entries into new businesses, joint ventures, divestitures, and other transactions could fail to achieve strategic objectives, disrupt our ongoing operations or result in operating difficulties, liabilities and expenses, harm our business, and negatively impact our results of operations.

We may evaluate and consider strategic transactions, combinations, acquisitions, dispositions or alliances. These transactions could be material to our financial condition and results of operations if consummated. If we are able to identify an appropriate business opportunity, we may not be successful in negotiating favorable terms and/or consummating the transaction and, even if we do consummate such a transaction, we may be unable to obtain the benefits or avoid the difficulties and risks of such transaction.

Any strategic transaction, combination, acquisition, disposition or alliance will involve risks encountered in business relationships, including:

•        difficulties in assimilating and integrating the operations, personnel, systems, data, technologies, products and services of the acquired business;

•        inability of the acquired technologies, products or businesses to achieve expected levels of revenue, profitability, productivity or other benefits;

•        difficulties in retaining, training, motivating and integrating key personnel;

•        diversion of management’s time and resources from our normal daily operations;

•        difficulties in successfully incorporating licensed or acquired technology and rights into our platform;

•        difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies within the combined organizations;

•        difficulties in retaining relationships with customers, employees and suppliers of the acquired business;

•        risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience;

•        regulatory risks, including remaining in good standing with existing regulatory bodies or receiving any necessary pre-closing or post-closing approvals, as well as being subject to new regulators with oversight over an acquired business;

•        assumption of contractual obligations that contain terms that are not beneficial to us, require us to license or waive intellectual property rights or increase our risk for liability;

•        failure to successfully further develop the acquired technology;

•        liability for activities of the acquired or disposed of business before the acquisition or disposition, including patent and trademark infringement claims, violations of laws, regulatory actions, commercial disputes, tax liabilities and other known and unknown liabilities;

•        difficulty in separating assets and replacing shared services;

•        assumption of exposure to performance of any acquired loan portfolios;

•        potential disruptions to our ongoing businesses; and

•        unexpected costs and unknown risks and liabilities associated with the acquisition.

We may not make any transactions, combinations, acquisitions, dispositions or alliances, or any future transactions, combinations, acquisitions, dispositions or alliances may not be successful, may not benefit our business strategy, may not generate sufficient revenue to offset the associated costs or may not otherwise result in the intended benefits. It may take us longer than expected to fully realize the anticipated benefits and synergies of these transactions, and those benefits and synergies may ultimately be smaller than anticipated or may not be realized at all, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Any transactions, combinations, acquisitions, dispositions or alliances may also require us to issue additional equity securities, spend our cash, or incur debt (and increased interest expense), liabilities, and amortization expenses related to intangible assets or write-offs of goodwill, which could adversely affect our results of operations and dilute the economic and voting rights of our stockholders and the interests of holders of our indebtedness.

In addition, we cannot assure you that any future acquisition of new businesses or technology will lead to the successful development of new or enhanced products and services or that any new or enhanced products and services, if developed, will achieve market acceptance or prove to be profitable. Further, we may also choose to divest certain businesses or product lines that no longer fit with our strategic objectives. If we decide to sell assets or a business, we may have difficulty obtaining terms acceptable to us in a timely manner, or at all. Additionally, the terms of such potential transactions may expose the Company to ongoing obligations and liabilities.

Our risk management processes and procedures may not be effective.

Our risk management processes and procedures seek to appropriately balance risk and return and mitigate risks. We have established processes and procedures intended to identify, measure, monitor and control the types of risk to which we are subject, including credit risk, deposit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, strategic risk, operational risk, cybersecurity risk, and reputational risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss that arises when a loan obligor fails to meet the terms of a loan repayment obligation, the loan enters default, and if uncured results in financial loss of remaining principal and interest to the investor. Our exposure to credit risk mainly arises from our lending activities. Deposit risk refers to accelerated availability of depositor funds, prior to settlement, risk of ACH returns or merchant settlements, and transactional limits that may be applied to deposit accounts. Market risk is the risk of loss due to changes in external market factors, such as interest rates, asset prices, and foreign exchange rates. Liquidity risk is the risk that financial condition or overall safety and soundness are adversely affected by an inability, or perceived inability, to meet obligations (e.g., current and future cash flow needs) and support business growth. We actively monitor our liquidity position. Strategic risk is the risk from changes in the business environment, ineffective business strategies, improper implementation of decisions or inadequate responsiveness to changes in the business and competitive environment.

Our management is responsible for defining the priorities, initiatives, and resources necessary to execute our strategic plan, the success of which is regularly evaluated by the board of directors. Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, controls, people (e.g., human error or misconduct) or systems (e.g. technology problems), business continuity or external events (e.g., natural disasters), compliance, reputational, regulatory, or legal matters and includes those risks as they relate directly to us, fraud losses attributed to applications, transaction processing, or employees, as well as to third parties with whom we contract or otherwise do business. Operational risk is one of the most prevalent forms of risk in our risk profile. We strive to manage operational risk by establishing policies and procedures to accomplish timely and efficient processing, obtaining periodic internal control attestations from management, conducting internal process risk control self-assessments and audit reviews to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls.

We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, a full valuation allowance has historically been recorded to recognize only deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

Finally, further changes to the federal or state tax laws or technical guidance relating to the Tax Act that would further reduce the corporate tax rate could operate to effectively reduce or eliminate the value of any deferred tax asset. Our tax attributes as of December 31, 2020 may expire unutilized or underutilized, which could prevent us from offsetting future taxable income.

Risks Relating to Fusion and the Business Combination

Directors and officers of Fusion have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

When considering the Fusion Board’s recommendation that the Fusion Stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination, Fusion Stockholders should be aware that directors and officers of Fusion have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Fusion Stockholders. These interests include:

•        Our Sponsor officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if we do not complete a business combination by December 31, 2021. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by December 31, 2021, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination by December 31, 2021. Our Sponsor purchased the founder shares prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Upon the Closing, such founder shares will be converted into 8,750,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock (assuming no founder shares are forfeited by the Sponsor at Closing), and such shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would have an aggregate market value of approximately $86.9 million based upon the closing price of $9.93 per public share on the NYSE on August 27, 2021, but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value.

•        Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 8,100,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on June 30, 2020, for one share of New MoneyLion Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by December 31, 2021, then the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $7.0 million based upon the closing price of $0.87 per warrant on the NYSE on August 27, 2021.

•        Jeff Gary is expected to continue to serve as a director of New MoneyLion after the Closing. As such, in the future he may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New MoneyLion Board determines to pay to its directors.

•        Our Sponsor, directors and executive officers at the time of our IPO have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if Fusion fails to complete a business combination by December 31, 2021.

•        In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

•        Following the Closing, our Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Fusion and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Sponsor has not made any advances to us for working capital expenses. If we do not complete an initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.

•        Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will continue to indemnify our existing directors and officers and will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

•        Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and executive officers and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by Fusion from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination.

These financial interests of the Sponsor, officers and directors and entities affiliated with them may have influenced their decision to approve the Business Combination. You should consider these interests when evaluating the Business Combination and the recommendation of the Fusion Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals to be presented to the stockholders.

Because the election by MoneyLion stockholders to receive cash consideration will not occur until after the Special Meeting, you will not know what portion of the merger consideration will be paid in cash to MoneyLion stockholders (if any) prior to casting your vote at the Special Meeting.

The aggregate consideration to be paid to MoneyLion stockholders will be (i) shares of Class A common stock of New MoneyLion (valued at $10.00 per share), and, if elected by MoneyLion, cash consideration of up to the lower of (A) the amount (which may be zero) by which the Parent Closing Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exceeds $260,000,000 and (B) $100,000,000, and (ii) the contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of up to 17,500,000 shares of Class A common stock of New MoneyLion (the “Earn Out Shares”).

For illustrative purposes, assuming no redemptions by Fusion’s public stockholders and all of the holders of MoneyLion options and MoneyLion warrants that are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination elect to exercise their options or warrants prior to the closing of the Business Combination and (i) assuming MoneyLion stockholders elect to receive $100.0 million of merger consideration in cash at Closing, we will issue 210,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock to the MoneyLion stockholders at Closing and New MoneyLion will have approximately $450,000,000 of cash on its balance sheet after Closing; (ii) assuming MoneyLion stockholders elect to receive $50.0 million of merger consideration in cash at Closing, we will issue 215,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock to the MoneyLion stockholders at Closing and New MoneyLion will have approximately $500,000,000 of cash on its balance sheet after Closing; and (iii) assuming MoneyLion stockholders elect to receive no merger consideration in cash at Closing, we will issue 220,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock to the MoneyLion stockholders at Closing and New MoneyLion will have approximately $550,000,000 of cash on its balance sheet after Closing.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the election to receive cash will be made after the Special Meeting of Fusion Stockholders and prior to the Closing. Consequently, at the time of the Special Meeting, you will not know or be able to determine the amount of cash consideration the MoneyLion stockholders will receive at Closing (if any).

Our Sponsor, directors and executive officers have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public stockholders vote.

Our Sponsor, directors and executive officers have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. The Sponsor owns approximately 20% of our outstanding shares prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval for the Business Combination will be received than would be the case if our Sponsor had agreed to vote its shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public stockholders.

Our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or public warrants from public stockholders, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our common stock.

Our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase public shares or public warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. However, other than as expressly stated herein, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions.

In the event that our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their public shares. The purpose of any such purchases of public shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination or to satisfy a Closing condition in the Merger Agreement that requires us to have a certain amount of cash at the Closing, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our common stock and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

Warrants will become exercisable for New MoneyLion Class A common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

Following the Business Combination, there will be 17,500,000 outstanding public warrants to purchase 17,500,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, which warrants will become exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on June 30, 2020. In addition, there will be 8,100,000 private placement warrants outstanding exercisable for 8,100,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of New MoneyLion Class A common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, the impact of which is increased as the value of our stock price increases.

We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

New MoneyLion will have the ability to redeem outstanding public warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of New MoneyLion Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date we give notice of redemption. If and when the warrants become redeemable by New MoneyLion, New MoneyLion may exercise the redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force holders to (i) exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so, (ii) sell the warrants at the then-current market price when the holder

might otherwise wish to hold onto such warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the warrants. None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

In addition, New MoneyLion may redeem your warrants after they become exercisable for a number of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of New MoneyLion Class A common stock. Any such redemption may have similar consequences to a cash redemption described above. In addition, such redemption may occur at a time when the warrants are “out- of-the-money,” in which case you would lose any potential embedded value from a subsequent increase in the value of our common stock had your warrants remained outstanding.

Even if we consummate the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for the outstanding warrants is $11.50 per share of New MoneyLion Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants. As a result of the SEC Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of our 17,500,000 public warrants and 8,100,000 private placement warrants, and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

As a result, included on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our warrants. Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our consolidated financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors that are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Following this issuance of the SEC Statement, on April 22, 2021, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our management and our audit committee concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020 (the “Restatement”). See “— Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of such process, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Following the issuance of the SEC Statement, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our management and our audit committee concluded that it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from March 6, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020. See “— Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of the Restatement, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

As a result of such material weakness, the Restatement, the change in accounting for the warrants, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the Restatement and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete a Business Combination.

Our stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New MoneyLion Class A common stock as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current stockholders have on the management of New MoneyLion.

Assuming there are no redemptions of our Class A common stock, MoneyLion does not elect to take any cash as part of the merger consideration at Closing, all of the holders of MoneyLion options and MoneyLion warrants that are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination elect to exercise their options or warrants prior to the closing of the Business Combination and all of the Earn Out Shares have been released to the Earn Out Participants, following the Closing: (i) holders of shares of MoneyLion capital stock (the “MoneyLion equityholders”) are expected to hold, in the aggregate, 237,500,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 77.55% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, (ii) the public stockholders are expected to hold 35,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 11.43% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock, (iii) the Sponsor is expected to hold 8,750,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 2.86% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock and (iv) the PIPE Investors are expected to hold 25,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 8.16% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock.

Assuming there are no redemptions of our Class A common stock, MoneyLion does not elect to take any cash as part of the merger consideration at Closing, all of the holders of MoneyLion options and MoneyLion warrants that are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination elect to exercise their options or warrants prior to the closing of the Business Combination and none of the Earn Out Shares are released to the Earn Out Participants, following the Closing: (i) MoneyLion equityholders are expected to hold, in the aggregate, 220,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 76.19% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, (ii) the public stockholders are expected to hold 35,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 12.12% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock, (iii) the Sponsor is expected to

hold 8,750,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 3.03% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock and (iv) the PIPE Investors are expected to hold 25,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 8.66% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock.

Assuming there are no redemptions of our Class A common stock, MoneyLion does elect to take the maximum amount of cash as part of the merger consideration at Closing, all of the holders of MoneyLion options and MoneyLion warrants that are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination elect to exercise their options or warrants prior to the closing of the Business Combination and all of the Earn Out Shares have been released to the Earn Out Participants, following the Closing: (i) MoneyLion equityholders are expected to hold, in the aggregate, 227,500,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 76.79% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, (ii) the public stockholders are expected to hold 35,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 11.81% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock, (iii) the Sponsor is expected to hold 8,750,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 2.95% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock and (iv) the PIPE Investors are expected to hold 25,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 8.44% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock.

Assuming there are no redemptions of our Class A common stock, MoneyLion does elect to take the maximum amount of cash as part of the merger consideration at Closing , all of the holders of MoneyLion options and MoneyLion warrants that are not automatically exercised in connection with the Business Combination elect to exercise their options or warrants prior to the closing of the Business Combination and none of the Earn Out Shares are been released to the Earn Out Participants, following the Closing: (i) MoneyLion equityholders are expected to hold, in the aggregate, 210,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 75.34% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, (ii) the public stockholders are expected to hold 35,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 12.56% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock, (iii) the Sponsor is expected to hold 8,750,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 3.14% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock and (iv) the PIPE Investors are expected to hold 25,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, or 8.97% of the issued and outstanding shares of New MoneyLion common stock.

There are currently outstanding an aggregate of 25,600,000 warrants to acquire Fusion Class A common stock, which comprise 8,100,000 private placement warrants held by our Sponsor at the time of Fusion’s initial public offering and 17,500,000 public warrants. Each of Fusion’s outstanding whole warrants is exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on June 30, 2020, for one share of Fusion Class A common stock in accordance with its terms. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, if we assume that each outstanding whole warrant is exercised and one share of Fusion Class A common stock is issued as a result of such exercise, with payment of the exercise price of $11.50 per share, our fully diluted share capital would increase by a total of 25,600,000 shares, with approximately $294,400,000 paid to us to exercise the warrants.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although Fusion has conducted due diligence on MoneyLion, Fusion cannot assure you that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in its business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Fusion’s or MoneyLion’s control will not later arise. As a result, New MoneyLion may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if the due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that New MoneyLion reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about New MoneyLion or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause New MoneyLion to violate net worth or other covenants to which it may be subject. Accordingly, any Fusion Stockholder who chooses to remain a stockholder of New MoneyLion following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction

•        operating results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•        changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning New MoneyLion or the industry in which New MoneyLion operates in general;

•        operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to New MoneyLion;

•        ability to market new and enhanced products and services on a timely basis;

•        changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

•        commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving New MoneyLion;

•        changes in New MoneyLion’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•        the volume of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock available for public sale;

•        any major change in New MoneyLion’s board or management;

•        sales of substantial amounts of New MoneyLion Class A common stock by our or New MoneyLion’s directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•        general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and the NYSE specifically, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your securities at or above the price at which it was acquired. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to New MoneyLion could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Our actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

Financial projections with respect to New MoneyLion may not prove to be reflective of actual future results.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Board of Directors of Fusion considered, among other things, financial forecasts for the post-Business Combination company. They speak only as of the date made and will not be updated. These financial projections are subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties, including other risks discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, and may not be achieved in full, at all or within projected timeframes. Further, as a result of unprecedented market uncertainly resulting from COVID-19, these projections are even more uncertain in terms of reflecting actual future results. In addition, the failure of New MoneyLion to achieve projected results could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of New MoneyLion Class A common stock and New MoneyLion’s financial position following the Business Combination.

There can be no assurance that New MoneyLion Class A common stock issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on the NYSE following the Closing, or that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the NYSE.

New MoneyLion Class A common stock and warrants are expected to be listed on the NYSE following the Business Combination. New MoneyLion’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on the number of our shares

that are redeemed. If, after the Business Combination, the NYSE delists New MoneyLion Class A common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•        a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

•        a determination that New MoneyLion Class A common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in New MoneyLion Class A common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for New MoneyLion Class A common stock;

•        a limited amount of analyst coverage; and

•        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The Current Charter states that we must complete our initial business combination by December 31, 2021. If we have not completed an initial business combination by then (or such later date as our stockholders may approve in accordance with the Current Charter), we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.

Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders.

Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the funds held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

THE FUSION BOARD HAS UNANIMOUSLY DETERMINED THAT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL AND THE OTHER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED AT THE SPECIAL MEETING ARE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF AND ADVISABLE TO THE FUSION STOCKHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Shares Entitled to Vote

Fusion has fixed the close of business on September 2, 2021 as the “record date” for determining Fusion Stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on September 2, 2021, there were 43,750,000 Fusion Shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Each Fusion Share is entitled to one vote per share at the Special Meeting.

Quorum

A quorum of Fusion Stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will exist at the Special Meeting with respect to each matter to be considered at the Special Meeting if the holders of a majority of Fusion Shares are present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. All shares represented by proxy are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Vote Required and Fusion Board Recommendation

The Business Combination Proposal

Fusion Stockholders are being asked to consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and thereby approve the Business Combination. You should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination. In particular, your attention is directed to the full text of the Merger Agreement and Amendment No. 1, which are attached as Annex A and Annex G to this proxy statement/prospectus, respectively.

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

Voting Your Shares

Stockholders of Record

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by mail or at the Special Meeting. Each share of our common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals on which you are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of shares of our common stock that you own.

Voting by Mail.    You can vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the Special Meeting in the manner you indicate. We encourage you to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Special Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of our common stock will be voted as recommended by our Board. Our Board recommends voting “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposal, “FOR” the Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. Votes submitted by mail must be received by the close of business, New York City time, on September 20, 2021.

Voting at the Special Meeting.    If you attend the Special Meeting, you may also submit your vote at the Special Meeting via the Special Meeting website at https://www.cstproxy.com/fusionacquisitioncorp/2021, in which case any votes that you previously submitted by mail will be superseded by the vote that you cast at the Special Meeting. See “— Registering for the Special Meeting” above for further details on how to attend the Special Meeting.

Beneficial Owners

If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and this proxy statement is being sent to you by that broker, bank or other nominee. The broker, bank or other nominee holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to vote the shares in your account by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker, or other nominee and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of such legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com. You will then be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow you to register to attend and participate in the Special Meeting. See “— Registering for the Special Meeting” above for further details on how to attend the Special Meeting.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a Fusion Stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Special Meeting by:

•        timely delivering a written revocation letter to the Corporate Secretary of Fusion;

•        signing and returning by mail a proxy card with a later date so that it is received prior to the Special Meeting; or

•        attending the Special Meeting and voting electronically by visiting the website established for that purpose at https://www.cstproxy.com/fusionacquisitioncorp/2021 and entering the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. Attendance at the Special Meeting will not, in and of itself, revoke a proxy.

If you are a non-record (beneficial) Fusion Stockholder, you should follow the instructions of your bank, broker or other nominee regarding the revocation of proxies.

Share Ownership and Voting by Fusion’s Sponsor, Directors and Executive Officers

As of the record date, the Sponsor had the right to vote 8,750,000 Fusion Shares, representing approximately 20% of the Fusion Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Our Sponsor and our directors and executive officers at the time of our initial public offering have entered into a letter agreement with us to vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, and, pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement, our Sponsor agreed to vote “FOR” the approval of the Charter Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal, and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

Redemption Rights

Public stockholders may seek to redeem the public shares that they hold, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination or do not vote at the Special Meeting. Any public stockholder may request redemption of their public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the shares of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Our Sponsor will not have redemption rights with respect to any Fusion Shares owned by it, directly or indirectly.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

•        (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and

•        prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 17, 2021, (a) submit a written request to the transfer agent that Fusion redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Public shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming public stockholder. In the event the proposed Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their public shares.

Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so.

Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests and thereafter, with Fusion’s consent, until the Closing. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivers its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Fusion instruct the transfer agent to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares. In such case, Fusion will promptly return any public shares previously delivered by public holders.

For illustrative purposes, the marketable securities held in the Trust Account on June 30, 2021 was $350,119,600 or $10.00 per public share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, public stockholders should verify the market price of Fusion Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Fusion Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Fusion cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their Fusion Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own those public shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for your public shares only if you properly exercise your right to redeem your public shares and deliver your Fusion Shares (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent, in each case prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 17, 2021, the deadline for submitting redemption requests, and the Business Combination is consummated.

Immediately following the Closing, New MoneyLion will pay public stockholders who properly exercised their redemption rights in respect of their public shares.

Appraisal Rights

Neither Fusion Stockholders nor Fusion warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL.

Potential Purchases of Shares and/or Public Warrants

At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Fusion or its securities, Sponsor, MoneyLion and/or its affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Fusion Shares or vote their Fusion Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that (i) the proposals presented for approval at the Special Meeting are approved and/or (ii) Fusion satisfies the Minimum Proceeds Condition. Any such stock purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of our Business Combination in a way that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by the Sponsor for nominal value.

Costs of Solicitation

Fusion will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from Fusion Stockholders.

Fusion will solicit proxies by mail. In addition, the directors, officers and employees of Fusion may solicit proxies from Fusion Stockholders by telephone, electronic communication, or in person, but will not receive any additional compensation for their services. Fusion will make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Fusion Shares held of record by those persons and will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such proxy solicitation materials.

Fusion has engaged a professional proxy solicitation firm, Morrow, to assist in soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. Fusion has agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $35,000, plus disbursements. Fusion will reimburse Morrow for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. Fusion will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of our common stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting

materials to beneficial owners of our common stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Fusion’s management team may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Other Business

Fusion is not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. If, however other matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting, the proxies will have discretion to vote or act on those matters according to their best judgment and they intend to vote the shares as the Fusion Board may recommend.

Attendance

Only Fusion Stockholders on the record date or persons holding a written proxy for any stockholder or account of Fusion as of the record date may attend the Special Meeting. The Special Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. You will not be able to attend the Special Meeting physically.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

The Fusion Stockholders are being asked to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. All Fusion stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement and Amendment No. 1, which are attached as Annex A and Annex G to this proxy statement/prospectus, respectively. You are urged to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Fusion may consummate the Business Combination only if all of the condition precedent proposals are approved by the Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

The Merger Agreement

On February 11, 2021, the parties entered into the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by each of the Fusion Board and the board of directors of MoneyLion.

On June 28, 2021, the parties executed Amendment No. 1, by which the Merger Agreement was amended to permit the New MoneyLion Board to initially consist of ten directors, instead of nine, and to align the exclusive forum provisions of the Proposed Charter with those of the Current Charter. Amendment No. 1 is attached as Annex G to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Structure of the Business Combination

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into MoneyLion, with MoneyLion surviving the Business Combination. Upon consummation of the foregoing transactions, MoneyLion will be the wholly-owned subsidiary of New MoneyLion (formerly Fusion). In addition, New MoneyLion (formerly Fusion) will amend and restate its charter to be the Proposed Charter, as described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Description of New MoneyLion Securities.”

Consideration to MoneyLion Stockholders

The aggregate value of the consideration paid in respect of MoneyLion is $2,200,000,000.00. MoneyLion stockholders will receive shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock valued at $10.00 per share, and, if elected by MoneyLion, cash consideration of up to the lower of (A) the amount (which may be zero) by which the Parent Closing Cash exceeds $260,000,000 and (B) $100,000,000, together with a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the “Earn Out Shares. See the “Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination” section for more information. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the election to receive cash will be made after the Special Meeting of Fusion Stockholders and prior to the Closing. Consequently, at the time of the Special Meeting, Fusion’s stockholders will not know or be able to determine the amount of cash consideration the MoneyLion stockholders will receive at Closing (if any). See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Fusion and the Business Combination — Because the election by MoneyLion stockholders to receive cash consideration will not occur until after the Special Meeting, you will not know what portion of the merger consideration will be paid in cash to MoneyLion stockholders (if any) prior to casting your vote at the Special Meeting.” for more information.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time of the Business Combination, the stock consideration to be issued to the then current holders of stock in MoneyLion will be in the form of New MoneyLion Class A common stock.

Additionally, each outstanding MoneyLion option that is outstanding and unexercised, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be assumed by New MoneyLion and will be converted into an option to acquire New MoneyLion Class A common stock with the same terms and conditions as applied to the MoneyLion option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the number of shares underlying such New MoneyLion option will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of MoneyLion common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the option exchange ratio, which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, and the per share exercise price of such New MoneyLion option will be determined by dividing the per share exercise price immediately prior to the Effective Time by the option exchange ratio, which quotient shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of MoneyLion capital stock that is issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time and has not been exercised or terminated pursuant to its terms will be assumed and converted into a warrant exercisable for shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock.

In addition, the Merger Agreement contemplates that the Earn Out Participants, following the closing of the Business Combination and for a period of five years thereafter, will be eligible to receive the Earn Out Shares, subject to a Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, New MoneyLion will release such Earn Out Shares to the Earn Out Participants.

Exchange of Fractional Shares.

No fractional shares of New MoneyLion common stock will be issued as part of the Business Combination. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional shares, New MoneyLion has agreed to issue to each former holder of MoneyLion common stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share (after aggregating all fractional shares of New MoneyLion common stock that otherwise would be received by such stockholder): (i) one share of New MoneyLion common stock if the aggregate amount of fractional shares of New MoneyLion common stock such stockholder would otherwise be entitled to is equal to or exceeds 0.50; or (ii) no shares of New MoneyLion common stock if the aggregate amount of fractional shares of New MoneyLion common stock such stockholder would otherwise be entitled to is less than 0.50.

Earn Out Shares.

Following the Closing and for a period of five years thereafter (the “Earn Out Period”), the Earn Out Participants will be eligible to receive the Earn Out Shares contingent on the occurrence of certain Triggering Events as follows:

•        a one-time issuance of 7,500,000 Earn Out Shares, if after the Closing Date (but during the Earn Out Period), the closing price of the shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock is equal to or greater than $12.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period, which will be paid within five business days of such Triggering Event;

•        a one-time issuance of 10,000,000 Earn Out Shares, if after the Closing Date (but during the Earn Out Period), the closing price of the shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock is equal to or greater than $16.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period, which will be paid within five business days of such Triggering Event; and

Each Triggering Event may only occur once, if at all, and in no event will the amount of Earn Out Shares distributed in connection with the Triggering Events exceed 17,500,000 aggregate shares. Any Earn Out Shares to be released and distributed shall be released and distributed as shares of New MoneyLion common stock.

The Private Placement

Fusion entered into the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which, among other things, Fusion agreed to issue and sell in private placements an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Fusion Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors for $10.00 per share, generating total gross proceeds of $250,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment Amount”). The PIPE Investment Amount is expected to be used by the Company to (a) pay any cash amounts required to be paid by the Company in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and (b) pay any fees and expenses of the Company, with any remaining amounts to remain on the Company’s balance sheet as working capital.

The Private Placement is expected to close immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. In connection with the Closing, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fusion Class A common stock, including the shares of Fusion Class A common stock issued to the PIPE Investors, will become shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock.

Background of the Business Combination

The terms of the Business Combination are the result of negotiations between the representatives of Fusion and MoneyLion. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations and the resulting Business Combination.

Fusion is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on March 6, 2020 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Our intention was to capitalize on the substantial deal sourcing, investing and operating expertise of our management team to identify and combine with one or more businesses with strong growth potential.

On June 26, 2020, we consummated our IPO of 30,500,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Fusion Class A common stock and one-half of one warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $305,000,000. Prior to the consummation of our IPO, the Sponsor purchased 8,768,750 founder shares (after various adjustments) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share. On June 30, 2020, Fusion announced that the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in part and issued an additional 4,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit for additional proceeds of $45,000,000. This resulted in a total of 35,000,000 units being issued for total gross proceeds of $350,000,000. As a result of the over-allotment option being exercised in part, the Sponsor forfeited 18,750 founder shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding a total of 8,750,000 founder shares. Simultaneously with the consummation of our IPO, we consummated the private sale of 8,100,000 private placement warrants, to the Sponsors at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8,100,000.

Prior to the consummation of our IPO, neither Fusion, nor anyone on its behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with Fusion.

After our IPO, our officers and directors commenced an active search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in our initial business combination. Representatives of Fusion were contacted by, and representatives of Fusion contacted, numerous individuals, financial advisors and other entities who offered to present ideas for business combination opportunities. Our officers and directors, and their affiliates, also brought to our attention target business candidates.

During this time, members of Fusion’s management researched companies in the Fintech industry that could be potential targets, including MoneyLion.

During this search process, Fusion reviewed several business combination opportunities and entered into confidentiality agreements with 24 companies (including MoneyLion). Most of the targets considered were located in the United States and operated in the sectors we specified at the time of our IPO, namely financial technology, wealth, investment and asset management, consistent with our original intentions.

We most actively pursued five potential targets, including MoneyLion, which process included meeting with such target’s management teams, conducting due diligence, submitting valuations and/or engaging in discussions regarding a potential business combination. All five of these targets were focused on financial technology and we submitted non-binding letters of intent to four (including MoneyLion) and a non-binding term sheet to the other.

Initial discussions between Fusion and MoneyLion commenced in July 2020, when Jeff Gary, Chief Financial Officer of Fusion, contacted Dee Choubey, the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of MoneyLion, a conversation facilitated by Ron Suber, a consultant to Fusion and an advisor to MoneyLion. In a subsequent video conference on July 16, 2020, both Mr. Gary and John James, Chief Executive Officer of Fusion, spoke with Mr. Choubey and inquired as to whether MoneyLion might be interested in pursuing a potential business combination with Fusion. During the conversation, Mr. Choubey expressed some interest in a potential transaction, but requested additional time to discuss the matter with his management and board. The parties agreed to further their dialogue and executed a mutual confidentiality agreement on July 23, 2020.

On July 18, 2020, Mr. Gary had a telephone call with Chris Sugden, a member of MoneyLion’s board of directors and a managing partner of Edison Partners, an investor in MoneyLion, to discuss the potential business combination and MoneyLion’s board’s strategic outlook and, on July 27, 2020, Mr. Gary and Mr. Choubey had a brief follow-up telephone call to discuss next steps.

On August 5, 2020, Mr. James and Mr. Gary spoke with Greg DePetris and Rohit D’Souza, both of whom are members of the board of directors of MoneyLion, to introduce Fusion as a potential opportunity and talk about MoneyLion’s future strategic plans.

On September 17, 2020, Mr. Gary and Mr. Choubey had a brief call to discuss MoneyLion’s internal financial models. On September 18, 2020, Mr. Choubey provided Fusion with MoneyLion’s financial models and having discussed the financial models with Mr. Choubey, Mr. Gary informed him that based on such financial models and their independent research into MoneyLion’s business, he believed that MoneyLion would make an attractive target business for Fusion to complete its initial business combination with. He indicated that Fusion remained very interested in continuing to discuss a potential transaction.

Throughout the next few months, Fusion continued to actively review several other business combination opportunities and communications with MoneyLion ebbed until December 14 and 17, 2020, when Mr. Gary and Mr. Sugden exchanged emails relating to MoneyLion’s updated financial performance and forecasts. Mr. Gary expressed Fusion’s continued interest in a potential business combination with MoneyLion. Following this exchange, on or around December 17, 2020, the Fusion Board agreed that a proactive approach should be made in connection with the potential transaction with MoneyLion and that a letter of intent should be prepared and signed. To prepare for a potential transaction, Fusion engaged various third parties to assist in its due diligence efforts. During late December 2020 and continuing into January 2021, MoneyLion provided Fusion with due diligence materials, including financial information.

In mid-December 2020, Fusion also informed its legal counsel, White & Case LLP (“White & Case”), about the potential transaction with MoneyLion and requested that White & Case prepare a draft non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) for such transaction. On December 17, 2020, Fusion delivered the LOI to MoneyLion. The LOI contemplated a business combination with consideration based on a pre-money enterprise value of MoneyLion of between $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion. The LOI further contemplated that Fusion would enter into subscription agreements for the Private Placement of Fusion Class A common stock, which would close simultaneously with the closing of the business combination, the proceeds of which, together with the amounts retained in the Trust Account, would total approximately $500 million. The LOI stated that all terms were subject to ongoing due diligence by Fusion of MoneyLion. The LOI also provided for an exclusivity period during which the parties could continue to negotiate the transaction agreements. Following receipt of the draft LOI, MoneyLion responded that they would continue to consider the potential business combination and review the LOI, and that they were also considering alternate financing strategies.

On December 21, 2020, the Fusion Board met by video conference with certain representatives of MoneyLion, including several of its officers, directors and financial advisors, and Fusion presented its vision for a business combination. Members of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan”), financial advisors to Fusion, also attended. Prior to the meeting, Fusion prepared and reviewed with its advisors extensive financial models of MoneyLion’s business in order to generate a view as to the expected near-term financial performance and growth potential within the digital banking and wealth management product offerings. Further research was performed in evaluating the total U.S. addressable market for digital banking and wealth management (relying on third-party sources) and MoneyLion’s performance in the United States.

During the December 21, 2020 meeting, the parties discussed the general terms of a potential transaction, including that the consideration for MoneyLion would consist solely of Fusion equity. The parties also discussed (i) the need to obtain commitments from the PIPE Investors in order to demonstrate investor support for the potential transaction and to ensure that a minimum cash amount would be available at closing and (ii) the need for there to be a condition to closing the potential business combination that Fusion have an excess amount of cash available at Closing from such Private Placement and the proceeds from the Trust Account to pay transaction expenses and certain working capital and growth initiatives following the Closing. Both sides believed that having sufficient capital on the balance sheet of the post-business combination company to market existing products and launch new product offerings was of critical importance.

On December 27, 2020, Fusion delivered a revised LOI to MoneyLion. The LOI contemplated consideration based on a pre-money enterprise value of MoneyLion of between $2.1 billion to $2.25 billion, which reflected Fusion’s revised valuation range based on its review of comparable companies and the results of its preliminary diligence on MoneyLion. The LOI also contemplated that Fusion would enter into a Private Placement, the proceeds of which, together with the amounts retained in the Trust Account, would total approximately $500 million. The LOI stated that all terms were subject to ongoing due diligence by Fusion of MoneyLion. The LOI also provided

for a period of exclusivity for the parties to negotiate the Merger Agreement and related transaction agreements. MoneyLion responded that while they would continue to consider the potential business combination and review the draft LOI, they were also considering alternate financing strategies.

Over the following days, Fusion continued to speak frequently with executives and representatives of MoneyLion as they considered the LOI, and the parties continued to negotiate the terms of a potential business combination between the two companies. During this time, Fusion engaged in further due diligence of MoneyLion. Fusion and MoneyLion had numerous phone calls, emails, and question and answer sessions with each companies’ respective management and financial advisors. Mr. James also had several discussions with Mr. Choubey about MoneyLion’s readiness to become a public company. This included a discussion as to the status of MoneyLion’s year-end financial audits.

During the period from December 27, 2020 through January 4, 2021, the parties continued to discuss the terms of the proposed transaction and exchanged various drafts of the LOI. The principal terms being negotiated were exclusivity, minimum cash balance, and the amount of the Private Placement. Ultimately, after further negotiation among the parties and receiving investor feedback, on or about December 30, 2020, Fusion and MoneyLion agreed to a valuation of MoneyLion between $2.1 billion and $2.25 billion, which was consistent with Fusion’s evaluation of the business, comparable companies in analogous markets, and feedback from its financial advisors about the then-current view of high-growth companies in the public markets. The LOI also contemplated that Fusion would enter into subscription agreements for the Private Placement of Fusion Class A common stock in a target amount of $181 million in proceeds, which, together with the amounts retained in the Trust Account, would total at least $531 million, prior to paying approximately $31 million in transaction expenses. The LOI also included a minimum cash condition that aggregate cash available from amounts held in the Trust Account (after payment of any redemptions) and obtained in connection with the Private Placement, after payment of any transaction expenses, would be no less than $260 million. There were significant discussions around this minimum cash condition including whether it should be higher. The discussion included recommendations from Fusion’s bankers that a lower minimum cash balance was viewed by the market as all parties having a high conviction in the deal closing. If the minimum cash was set too high, then a low amount of redemptions could cause the deal to fail this condition. As a result, it was determined that investors would view a deal with a higher minimum cash balance as having a lower probability of closing and could discount the pre-Business Combination share price they are willing to pay. In addition, the parties wanted to create an ability for some amount of cash to be available to buy shares from existing MoneyLion equityholders. It was discussed that the minimum cash amount would not be impacted by any cash going to selling shareholders. Therefore, it was decided that the appropriate balance for the best interests of all stakeholders would be to provide that if there was additional cash above the $260 million minimum cash condition, then this excess amount, subject to a maximum amount of $100 million, would be made available to make an offer to existing MoneyLion equityholders to buy their shares at a price of $10 per share. In addition to the consideration paid to MoneyLion, the parties determined that 17.5 million shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock would be payable to MoneyLion as earn-out shares in three tranches (7.5 million shares at $12.50 per share, 7.5 million shares at $16.50 per share and 2.5 million shares at $18.00 per share). The LOI also anticipated that a new equity incentive plan pursuant to which MoneyLion would grant cash and equity incentive awards and compensation to officers, directors, employees and other eligible service providers would be approved and adopted in connection with the business combination. The LOI stated that all terms were subject to ongoing due diligence by Fusion of MoneyLion.

On January 4, 2021, Fusion convened a special meeting of the Fusion Board to discuss and consider the potential business combination with MoneyLion and vote on entering into the non-binding LOI. Representatives from J.P. Morgan were also in attendance. During the meeting, Messrs. James and Gary updated the Fusion Board on the status of negotiations with MoneyLion and on the principal terms of the transaction, proposed timing for the transaction and additional information about MoneyLion’s business and the proposed business combination. Representatives of J.P. Morgan also discussed the proposed valuation of the transaction. After the discussion, the Fusion Board decided to proceed with entering into a non-binding LOI for the Business Combination with MoneyLion, which included reciprocal exclusivity commitments. Following the meeting, on January 4, 2021, Fusion and MoneyLion entered into a non-binding LOI for the Business Combination. Given its exclusivity commitment in the LOI signed with MoneyLion, Fusion discontinued discussions with other potential targets.

Following execution of the LOI, the parties and their respective legal counsel prepared and then negotiated the Merger Agreement and related agreements, which continued until the Merger Agreement was executed. In addition, the parties began preparing for discussions with potential PIPE Investors.

On January 6, 2021, Fusion hosted a virtual kick-off meeting with the Fusion Board and the board of directors of MoneyLion, and their respective legal and financial advisors, by video conference to organize the overall business combination process, conduct further due diligence of MoneyLion and analysis on the post-business combination company, identify potential PIPE Investors, and prepare an investor presentation for the Private Placement.

In the week commencing January 11, 2021, the Fusion Board, its advisors and legal counsel, as well as officers, director, representatives and advisors of MoneyLion, held a series of video conferences focused on various diligence areas including legal, cybersecurity and regulatory, business and product offerings, historical financial statements, accounting and audit matters, and other financial information requirements relating to the potential business combination transaction.

Between January 15 and 18, 2021, Fusion engaged J.P. Morgan, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Odeon Capital Group LLC to serve as placement agents for the Private Placement.

Beginning the week of January 25, 2021, Fusion arranged for a digital data room to be established to provide certain materials to prospective PIPE Investors. Fusion, through its placement agents, sent data room invitations to potential investors who had a track record of long-term investments and an interest in investing in similar transactions and such investors conducted customary due diligence on MoneyLion. On January 26, 2021, Fusion commenced investor meetings with certain potential PIPE Investors. Mr. James and Mr. Gary represented Fusion, and Mr. Choubey and Rick Correia, Chief Financial Officer of MoneyLion, represented MoneyLion in these meetings.

On January 26, 2021, Fusion and MoneyLion entered into an amendment to the LOI (the “LOI Amendment”). In the LOI Amendment, Fusion and MoneyLion agreed to a company valuation of $2.2 billion, which was consistent with Fusion’s evaluation of the business, comparable companies in analogous markets, and feedback from its financial advisors about the then-current view of high-growth companies in the public markets. The LOI Amendment provided that the earn-out shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock payable to MoneyLion would be in two tranches (7.5 million shares at $12.50 per share and 10 million shares at $16.50 per share). The LOI Amendment further clarified the terms of the cash and equity incentive awards that would be approved and adopted in connection with the Business Combination and extended the period of exclusivity for the parties to negotiate the transaction agreements.

From the end of January into early February 2021, members of Fusion’s and MoneyLion’s management held numerous video conference meetings and follow-up phone calls with prospective PIPE Investors.

White & Case performed customary red-flags legal due diligence at Fusion’s request and reported its findings to the Fusion Board in a written report delivered on February 7, 2021. White & Case and Fusion followed up on the written report with a discussion on the evening of February 8, 2021, during which members of the Fusion Board asked a number of follow up questions related to the diligence findings. Based on such discussion and Q&A, Fusion determined that it was ready to proceed to execution of definitive documentation.

On February 8, 2021, the management teams of each of Fusion and MoneyLion met by video conference, along with their financial advisors and legal counsels to negotiate a number of commercial and legal matters regarding the potential business combination. Fusion reported that based on feedback from potential investors in the Private Placement, the Private Placement would most likely be oversubscribed and could raise in excess of the expected minimum of $181 million based on a total enterprise value of approximately $2.4 billion.

On February 9, 2021, given the high demand, the parties determined to increase the size of the Private Placement from $181 million to $250 million.

On February 10, 2021, the Fusion Board of directors unanimously approved, by written consent, the entrance into the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, including the terms of the Private Placement and the Sponsor Support Agreement and MoneyLion Support Agreements. In approving the Merger Agreement, the Fusion Board determined that the aggregate fair market value of the proposed Business Combination was at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account.

On February 11, 2021, the parties executed the Merger Agreement, Fusion entered into the Subscription Agreements for the Private Placement, Fusion, the Sponsor and Fusion’s directors and officers entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement and Fusion and certain MoneyLion stockholders entered into the MoneyLion Support Agreements. The next morning, on February 12, 2021, Fusion and MoneyLion issued a joint press release announcing the Business Combination.

On June 28, 2021, the parties executed Amendment No. 1 to permit the New MoneyLion Board to initially consist of ten directors, instead of nine, and to align the exclusive forum provisions of the Proposed Charter with those of the Current Charter. Amendment No. 1 is attached as Annex G to this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Fusion Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

On February 10, 2021, the Fusion Board unanimously (i) approved the signing of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) directed that the Merger Agreement, related transaction documentation and other proposals necessary to consummate the Business Combination be submitted to our stockholders for approval and adoption, and recommended that our stockholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, related transaction documentation and such other proposals. Before reaching its decision, the Fusion Board reviewed the results of the due diligence performed by members of its management team and its legal counsel, which included:

•        research on industry trends, revenue projections and other industry factors;

•        extensive meetings and calls with MoneyLion’s management team and representatives regarding operations, company services, customers, financial prospects, the pipeline of potential new products and possible acquisitions, among other customary due diligence matters;

•        review of MoneyLion’s material business contracts and certain other legal, regulatory and commercial diligence;

•        financial and accounting diligence; and

•        creation of an independent financial model in conjunction with management of MoneyLion, which was generally consistent with the financial model prepared by MoneyLion.

The Fusion Board considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, the Fusion Board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Different individual members of the Fusion Board may have given different weight to different factors in their evaluation of the Business Combination.

In the prospectus for our IPO, we identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses, although we indicated we may enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines. We intended to seek to acquire companies that we believed:

•        were fundamentally sound and could unlock and enhance stockholder value through a business combination with us, thereby offering attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders;

•        had strong, experienced management teams, or provided a platform to assemble an effective management team with a track record of driving growth and profitability;

•        were at an inflection point, such as requiring additional management expertise, were able to innovate through new operational techniques, or where we believed we could drive improved financial performance;

•        could benefit from the application and exploitation of financial service technologies;

•        had a history of, or potential for, strong, stable free cash flow generation, with predictable and recurring revenue streams;

•        could grow both organically and where we believed our ability to source proprietary opportunities and execute transactions would help the business grow through additional acquisitions;

•        had a leading or niche market position and that demonstrate advantages when compared to their competitors, which could help to create barriers to entry against new competitors;

•        could benefit from being a publicly traded company, with access to broader capital markets, to achieve the company’s growth strategy; and

•        exhibited unrecognized value or other characteristics that we believed could be enhanced based on our analysis and due diligence review.

These illustrative criteria were not intended to be exhaustive. We stated in the IPO prospectus that any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination would be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant. In the event that we decided to enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria and guidelines, we indicated that we would disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria in our stockholder communications related to our initial business combination.

In considering the Business Combination, the Fusion Board concluded that it met all the above criteria. In particular, the board considered the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

High-Growth Industry.    MoneyLion is expected to become one of the fastest growing digital banking and wealth management solutions in the industry. Based on third-party data and industry reports, conventional banks now account for only 72% of the total market value of the global banking and payments industry, down from 81% at the beginning of 2020. While the digital banking and wealth management sector in the United States is nascent, customer dissatisfaction with conventional banking solutions, generational wealth transfer, the acceptance of accessible digital solutions, and increased regulation by the federal and state governments has created a rapidly growing environment and a trend toward digital banking. Fusion believes this represents an opportunity for MoneyLion, which already has a strong market share and a significant funnel of unique users, to grow rapidly.

Business with Revenue and Earnings Growth Potential.    MoneyLion has an attractive financial profile characterized by strong existing growth and continued prospects of accelerated growth in the future. From 2020 to 2022E, New MoneyLion expects to achieve an adjusted revenue CAGR of approximately 84% and to grow its adjusted revenue by $182 million in the same period. Fusion believes that MoneyLion is well-positioned to continue its dynamic growth trajectory as it expands its product offerings and marketing efforts.

Compelling Unit Economics.    MoneyLion is a high-growth customer facing internet business that features compelling unit economics. This has been demonstrated in its business offerings to date and its expected future rollout of new digital banking and membership subscription offerings. MoneyLion’s business had an overall projected gross profit margin, which is a non-GAAP measure, of 52% for the year ended December 31, 2020 and an overall projected adjusted gross profit margin of 49% for the year ended December 31, 2020, while MoneyLion had an overall estimated gross profit margin of 70% for the year ended December 31, 2022 and an overall estimated adjusted gross profit margin forecast of 71% for the year ended December 31, 2022. Fusion believes that MoneyLion will increase its adjusted gross profit margin in the future as the business achieves greater scale nationally and rolls out new service offerings.

Diversified Revenue Mix.    Given the multitude of different products offered by MoneyLion, following the Business Combination, we expect that New MoneyLion will have a diversified revenue mix, which we believe will be well-suited to capture different parts of the value chain in the digital banking and wealth management sector. MoneyLion’s business is customer facing and reliant on marketing outreach to potential customers. Fusion believes that the low customer acquisition cost (due to its data driven-driven approach to its customers utilizing it single-core technology stack), large total addressable market, and diversified product offerings provides a financial advantage to the company to help it outperform its peers and create diversified sources of revenue and has the ability to create geographic dispersion to capture further growth both inside and potentially outside of the United States.

Experienced and Motivated Management Team.    MoneyLion is led by a seasoned and motivated team of technologists and financial industry experts that have re-defined digital banking and wealth management in the United States. We believe their experience in innovating technology, coupled with their financial services backgrounds, marketing experience and ability to create new product offerings, will help New MoneyLion in the future.

Although the Fusion Board did not seek a third-party valuation and did not receive any report, valuation or opinion from any third party in connection with the Business Combination, the Fusion Board relied on the following sources: (i) due diligence of MoneyLion’s business operations conducted by Fusion and its advisors; (ii) extensive research reports and data related to the digital banking sector in the United States and internationally; (iii) Fusion management’s collective experience in public markets transactions in constructing and evaluating financial models/projections and conducting valuations of businesses; and (iv) industry expertise and knowledge from its advisors, including J.P. Morgan. The total enterprise value for MoneyLion is $2.4 billion. The Fusion Board concluded that this is fair and reasonable, given the growth prospects, potential industry consolidation and other compelling aspects of the transaction.

The Fusion Board also gave consideration to the following negative factors (which are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of this proxy statement/prospectus), although not weighted or in any order of significance:

The risk that our public stockholders would vote against the Business Combination Proposal or exercise their redemption rights.

The Fusion Board considered the risk that some of the current public stockholders may vote against the Business Combination Proposal or decide to exercise their redemption rights, thereby depleting the amount of cash available in the Trust Account to an amount below the minimum required to consummate the Business Combination. The Fusion Board concluded however, that this risk was substantially mitigated because Fusion has commitments from the PIPE Investors to purchase $250 million of shares of Fusion Class A common stock at Closing, which represents nearly 100% of the minimum proceeds necessary for the Closing. Further, the fact that public stockholders may vote for the Business Combination Proposal while also exercising their redemption rights mitigates against any incentive a public stockholder might have to vote against the Business Combination Proposal, especially to the extent that they hold public warrants which would be worthless if the Business Combination is not completed.

Our management and directors may have different interests in the Business Combination than the public stockholders.

The Fusion Board considered the fact that members of our management and board of directors may have interests that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally, including the matters described under “— Interests of Fusion’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” below. However, the Fusion Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) these interests were disclosed in the IPO prospectus and (ii) these disparate interests would exist or may be even greater with respect to a business combination with another target company.

Certain Projected Financial Information

In connection with its consideration of the potential Business Combination, the Fusion Board was provided with prospective financial information prepared by management of MoneyLion and Fusion (collectively, the “Projections”).

The Projections are included in this proxy statement/prospectus solely to provide Fusion’s stockholders access to information made available in connection with the Fusion Board’s consideration of the proposed business combination. The Projections should not be viewed as public guidance. Furthermore, the Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date on which the Projections were prepared, which was February 10, 2021.

The Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information. The Projections have not been audited. Neither the independent registered public accounting firms of MoneyLion nor Fusion nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the Projections contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or their achievability, and the independent accounting firms of Fusion and MoneyLion assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the Projections.

The Projections were prepared in good faith by MoneyLion management based on their reasonable best estimates and assumptions with respect to the expected future financial performance of MoneyLion at the time the Projections were prepared and speak only as of that time.

The Projections were developed by MoneyLion and considered various material assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following:

•        MoneyLion’s digital banking offerings will continue to be available in the states in which they are currently offered;

•        demand for digital banking and wealth management solutions will remain strong and business growth will remain consistent with the rates of recent years;

•        MoneyLion will maintain a leading market position; and

•        other general business and market assumptions, including maintaining strong relationships with its current customers; the historical recent performance of MoneyLion; economic and market growth consistent with recent years, including continued expansion and growth in service offerings and capabilities; current and anticipated market position relative to its peers; and other future prospects of MoneyLion as a whole.

While presented with numerical specificity, the Projections are forward-looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to future industry performance under various industry scenarios as well as assumptions for competition, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and matters specific to the business of MoneyLion, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the preparing parties’ control including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

The Projections were prepared solely for internal use to assist Fusion in its evaluation of MoneyLion and the potential business combination. MoneyLion has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the projections to anyone, including Fusion. Neither MoneyLion’s management nor any of their representatives has made or makes any representations to any person regarding the ultimate performance of MoneyLion relative to the Projections. The Projections are not fact. The Projections are not a guarantee of actual future performance. The future financial results of MoneyLion may differ materially from those expressed in the Projections due to factors beyond either of their ability to control or predict.

The Projections are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to induce any Fusion stockholders to vote in favor of any of the proposals at the Special Meeting.

We encourage you to review the financial statements of MoneyLion included in this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the financial information in the sections entitled “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Information of MoneyLion” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” in this proxy statement/prospectus and to not rely on any single financial measure.

Neither Fusion nor MoneyLion nor any of their respective affiliates intends to, and, except to the extent required by applicable law, each of them expressly disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or correct the Projections to reflect circumstances existing or arising after the date such Projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Projections are shown to be in error or any of the Projections otherwise would not be realized.

Comparable Public Companies

During the course of valuing MoneyLion, Fusion’s management also identified several comparable public companies. Specifically, it determined that its core peer group consisted of Affirm, Afterpay, Square, Inc., Open Lending, Upstart and SoFi. It also identified other publicly traded high-growth FinTech/Payments companies, including Adyen, bill.com, Lightspeed and Shopify, as well as high-growth Financial SaaS companies, including Avalara, Anaplan, Coupa, Duck Creek Technologies, nCino and Q2 Holdings, Inc. Fusion’s management believes that MoneyLion is likely to be considered to be in one or more of these categories by potential investors based on its business and financial model.

The following is the financial information of these companies and MoneyLion that was considered by the Fusion Board:

Regulatory Approvals

The Business Combination is subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period (or any extension thereof) applicable under the HSR Act. The waiting period expired on March 29, 2021.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — the Fusion Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” the Fusion Board concluded that the Business Combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its initial public offering with respect to Fusion’s initial business combination, including that the Business Combination had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of execution of the Merger Agreement.

Interests of Fusion’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of our board of directors in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, it should be noted that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a Fusion Stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

•        Our Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if we do not complete a business combination by December 31, 2021. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by December 31, 2021, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

•        There will be no liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the founder shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the required period. Our Sponsor purchased the founder shares prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Upon the Closing, such founder shares will convert into 8,750,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock (assuming no founder shares are forfeited by the Sponsor at Closing), and such shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would have an aggregate market value of approximately $86.9 million based upon the closing price of $9.93 per public share on the NYSE on August 27, 2021, but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value.

•        Simultaneously with the closing of its initial public offering, Fusion consummated the sale of 8,100,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on June 30, 2020, for one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by December 31, 2021, then the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $7.0 million based upon the closing price of $0.87 per warrant on the NYSE on August 27, 2021.

•        Jeff Gary is expected to continue to serve as a director of New MoneyLion after the Closing. As such, in the future he may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New MoneyLion Board determines to pay to its directors and/or officers.

•        Our Sponsor, directors and executive officers have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if Fusion fails to complete a business combination by December 31, 2021.

•        In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

•        Following the Closing, our Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Fusion and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Sponsor has not made any advances to us for working capital expenses. If we do not complete an initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans.

•        Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will continue to indemnify our existing directors and officers and will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

•        Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by Fusion from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination.

Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

The following table summarizes the sources and uses for funding the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Where actual amounts are not known or knowable, the figures below represent MoneyLion’s good faith estimate of such amounts assuming a Closing as of August 30, 2021.

____________

(1)      Assumes MoneyLion elects to receive the maximum amount of cash consideration at the Closing in the no redemption scenario and no cash consideration in the maximum redemption scenario. If MoneyLion elects not to receive any cash consideration at the Closing in the no redemption scenario, then New MoneyLion will have an additional $100 million of Cash on its Balance Sheet and the Sellers’ Equity will increase by an additional $100 million and if MoneyLion elects to receive the maximum amount of cash consideration at the Closing in the maximum redemption scenario, then the amount of Cash on the Balance Sheet of New MoneyLion will decrease by $28,393,770 and the Seller’s Equity will decrease by $28,393,770.

Directors of New MoneyLion After the Business Combination

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, the New MoneyLion Board will initially consist of ten directors, one of which will consist of Diwakar Choubey, the Chief Executive Officer of MoneyLion. The remaining members of the board of directors will consist of two directors designated by Fusion who shall qualify as independent under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange rules and regulations (including the applicable rules and regulations of the NYSE), and one of whom shall be mutually acceptable to Fusion and MoneyLion, taking into account relevant public company board composition requirements, and the remaining members of the board of directors will be designated by MoneyLion.

Stock Exchange Listing

Fusion’s units, Class A common stock and public warrants are publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbols “FUSE.U”, “FUSE” and “FUSE WS”, respectively.

HSR Act and Regulatory Approvals

Fusion and MoneyLion have agreed to each prepare and file the notification required of it under the HSR Act in connection with the Business Combination as promptly as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, and no later than ten business days after such date, and to promptly and in good faith respond to all information requested of it by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), U.S. Department of Justice, or any other governmental entity in connection with such notification and otherwise cooperate in good faith with each other and such governmental entities.

Each of Fusion and MoneyLion have agreed to promptly furnish to the other such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act and to use reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods or obtain the applicable approvals as soon as practicable.

Each of Fusion and MoneyLion have agreed to promptly provide the other with copies of all written communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance of all substantive oral communications) between each of them, any of their affiliates and their respective agents, representatives and advisors, on the one hand, and any governmental entity, on the other hand, with respect to the Merger Agreement or the Business Combination.

Without limiting the foregoing, each of Fusion and MoneyLion have agreed that it will: (i) promptly inform the other of any communication to or from the FTC, the U.S. Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Business Combination; (ii) permit each other to review in advance any proposed written communication to any such governmental entity and incorporate reasonable comments thereto; (iii) give the other prompt written notice of the commencement of any legal proceeding with respect to such transactions; (iv) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any such governmental entity in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning the Merger Agreement or the Business Combination unless, to the extent reasonably practicable, it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such governmental entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend; (v) keep the other reasonably informed as to the status of any such legal proceeding; and (vi) promptly furnish each other with copies of all correspondence, filings (except for filings made under the HSR Act) and written communications between such party and their affiliates and their respective agents, representatives and advisors, on one hand, and any such governmental entity, on the other hand, in each case, with respect to the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.

Fusion, on the one hand, and MoneyLion, on the other hand, have agreed to each pay 50% of any filing fees required by governmental entities, including with respect to any registrations, declarations and filings required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the performance of the obligations thereunder and the consummation of the Business Combination, including filing fees in connection with filings under the HSR Act.

Except for filings under the HSR Act, each of Fusion and MoneyLion have agreed to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals from all governmental entities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and the performance of its obligations pursuant the Merger Agreement (including those required by applicable approvals of the Group Companies (the “Regulatory Filings”)). Each of Fusion and MoneyLion have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully with the other and its affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals and effect any such Regulatory Filing. With respect to the Regulatory Filings, each of Fusion and MoneyLion have agreed to use its reasonable best efforts and cooperate with the other (i) in timely making inquiries with governmental entities regarding the Regulatory Filings, (ii) in determining if any Regulatory Filings are required by governmental entities, and (iii) in timely making all Regulatory Filings (except with respect to such jurisdictions where Fusion and MoneyLion agree that a Regulatory Filing is not required). If Fusion determines that it is required to make any Regulatory Filing or otherwise provide

information with respect to Fusion or any Fusion personnel or affiliates to a governmental entity in connection with any approval, then MoneyLion will, except as prohibited by applicable legal requirements (in which case MoneyLion will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required permission to allow disclosure), provide upon Fusion’s request relevant portions of all past filings and correspondence with governmental entities with respect to any Approvals related to such Regulatory Filing or information provision requirement that Fusion reasonably determines to be necessary to make a complete, accurate and timely Regulatory Filing or provision of information.

Fusion and MoneyLion have agreed not to willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding in any material respect the receipt of any Regulatory Filings or any other required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals that, if not received, would have or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse impact on the business of the Group Companies, taken as a whole.

Proxy Solicitation

Fusion has also agreed, through the Fusion Board, to recommend to its stockholders that they approve the proposals contained in this proxy statement/prospectus (the “Fusion board recommendation”) and shall include the Fusion board recommendation in this proxy statement/prospectus, subject to the obligations described in this paragraph. The Fusion Board shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Fusion board recommendation, unless the Fusion Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its legal counsel, that a failure to do so would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach by the Fusion Board of its fiduciary obligations to its stockholders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (x) Fusion’s obligations to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting shall not be affected by any change in recommendation by the Fusion Board, (y) Fusion agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting and submit for approval the proposals contained in this proxy statement/prospectus and (z) Fusion agrees that if the approvals of the proposals contained in this proxy statement/prospectus shall not have been obtained at any such Special Meeting, then Fusion shall promptly continue to take all such necessary actions, including the actions required by the Merger Agreement, and hold additional Special Meetings in order to obtain such approvals.

MoneyLion has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit and obtain the written consent of the MoneyLion supporting stockholders within 24 hours following the effectiveness of this registration statement, or in the event it is not able to obtain such written consent of its stockholders, MoneyLion will convene a meeting of its stockholders for the sole purpose of voting on the approval of the Merger Agreement and the other agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby as soon as reasonably practicable after this registration statement is declared effective. If such meeting is convened, MoneyLion shall obtain the approval of the MoneyLion stockholders at such meeting and take all other action necessary or advisable to secure such approval as soon as reasonably practicable after this registration statement is declared effective.

No Solicitation

During the period from the date of the Merger Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, MoneyLion has agreed not to, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, and shall direct its employees, agents, officers, directors, representatives and advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly:

•        solicit, initiate, enter into or continue discussions, negotiations or transactions with, or encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or provide any information to, any person (other than Fusion and its agents, representatives, advisors) concerning any merger, sale of a majority of the ownership interests and/or assets of MoneyLion, recapitalization or similar transaction involving MoneyLion (each, a “MoneyLion Business Combination”);

•        enter into any agreement regarding, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or cooperate in any way that would otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to a MoneyLion Business Combination; or

•        commence, continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding a MoneyLion Business Combination.

In addition, MoneyLion has agreed to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, and to cause their respective Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any MoneyLion Business Combination.

During the period from the date of the Merger Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, Fusion and Merger Sub have agreed not to, and to direct their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

•        solicit, initiate, enter into or continue discussions or transactions with, or encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or provide any information to, any person (other than MoneyLion, MoneyLion stockholders and their respective Representatives) concerning any merger, purchase of ownership interests or assets of or by Fusion, recapitalization or similar business combination transaction (each, a “Fusion Business Combination”);

•        enter into any agreement regarding, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or cooperate in any way that would otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to a Fusion Business Combination; or

•        commence, continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding a Fusion Business Combination.

Fusion and Merger Sub have agreed to, and to cause their respective Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person with respect to any Fusion Business Combination.

Each of Fusion and MoneyLion have agreed to promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after becoming aware of such inquiry, proposal, offer or submission) notify the other (and in the case of Fusion’s receipt of a Fusion Business Combination proposal, Fusion will also provide notice to MoneyLion) if it or, to its knowledge, any of its or its Representatives receives any inquiry, proposal, offer or submission with respect to a MoneyLion Business Combination or Fusion Business Combination, as applicable (including the identity of the Person making such inquiry or submitting such proposal, offer or submission), after the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement.

If either Fusion or MoneyLion or its Representatives receives an inquiry, proposal, offer or submission with respect to a MoneyLion Business Combination or Fusion Business Combination, as applicable, such party shall provide the other with a copy of such inquiry, proposal, offer or submission (and in the case of Fusion’s receipt, Fusion will also provide copies to MoneyLion). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, either Fusion or MoneyLion may respond to any unsolicited proposal regarding a MoneyLion Business Combination or Fusion Business Combination only indicating that such party has entered into a binding definitive agreement with respect to a business combination and is unable to provide any information related to such party or any of its subsidiaries or entertain any proposals or offers or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning a MoneyLion Business Combination or Fusion Business Combination, as applicable.

The NYSE Listing

Through the Closing, Fusion has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure Fusion remains listed as a public company on, and for shares of Fusion Class A common stock and public warrants to be listed on, the NYSE. Fusion has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the New MoneyLion Class A common stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination (including the Earn Out Shares) to be approved for listing on the NYSE.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Fusion has agreed that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers, as the case may be, of any Group Company (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, a “D&O Indemnified Party”), as provided in their respective

organizational documents or in any indemnification agreement with any Group Companies will survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Closing Date. For a period of six years from the Closing Date, New MoneyLion will cause the Group Companies to maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of such Group Company’s organizational documents as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date or in any indemnification agreements of each Group Company with any D&O Indemnified Party as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

New MoneyLion has agreed not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify any exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of any D&O Indemnified Party for a period of six years from the Closing Date, except that New MoneyLion will continue to honor the terms of the aforementioned provision in the event a legal proceeding was brought within the six-year period.

Prior to the Closing, MoneyLion is required to purchase a so-called D&O tail insurance policy to cover the acts or omissions of the directors and officers of the Group Companies that may have occurred prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Tail”). The D&O Tail that MoneyLion is required to purchase must be as good as, if not better, than the D&O insurance policy that was in effect prior to the Effective Date, and is required to maintain the D&O Tail for a period of six years following the Closing. If New MoneyLion enters into a separate merger or acquisition after the Business Combination, then New MoneyLion is required to ensure that the D&O Tail is maintained by the acquiring entity (or entity into which New MoneyLion is merging, if applicable) for the remainder of the six years.

•        broker’s and finder’s fees related to the Business Combination.

Certain of these representations and warranties are qualified as to “materiality” or “material adverse effect.” For purposes of the Merger Agreement, a “material adverse effect” with respect to Fusion means any change, event, circumstance, fact or occurrence, that, individually or when aggregated with other changes, events, or occurrences, has had or would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on (a) the business, assets, financial condition or results of operations of Fusion and Merger Sub, taken as a whole; or (b) the ability of Fusion or Merger Sub to consummate the Business Combination on or prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that no change, event, circumstance, fact or occurrence or effect related to any of the following, alone or in combination, shall be taken into account in determining whether a material adverse effect pursuant to clause (a) has occurred or would be reasonably likely to occur: (i) changes or proposed changes in applicable legal requirements, regulations or interpretations thereof or decisions by courts or any governmental entity after the date of the Merger Agreement; (ii) changes or proposed changes in United States generally accepted accounting principles (or any interpretation thereof) after the date of the Merger Agreement; or (iii) any downturn in general economic conditions, including changes in the credit, debt, securities, financial, capital or reinsurance markets (including changes in interest or exchange rates, prices of any security or market index or commodity or any disruption of such markets), in each case, in the United States or anywhere else in the world; provided, however, that if a change or effect related to clauses (i) through (iii) disproportionately adversely affects Fusion and Merger Sub, taken as a whole, compared to other persons operating in the same industry as Fusion and Merger Sub, then such disproportionate impact may be taken into account in determining whether a material adverse effect has occurred.

The representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement do not survive the Effective Time and, as described below under “— Termination”, if the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, there will be no liability under the representations and warranties of the parties, or otherwise under the Merger Agreement, unless a party willfully breached the Merger Agreement prior to such termination.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated thereby abandoned:

•        by mutual written agreement of Fusion and MoneyLion at any time;

•        by either MoneyLion or Fusion if the Closing shall not have occurred by the date that is nine months following the date of the Merger Agreement; provided, however, a party may not terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to this provision if such party’s action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of the Merger Agreement;

•        prior to the Closing, by written notice to MoneyLion from Fusion if (i) there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of MoneyLion or if any representation or warranty of MoneyLion shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions to closing of Fusion would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that if such breach is curable by MoneyLion prior to the Closing, then Fusion must first provide written notice of such breach and may not terminate the Merger Agreement until the earlier of (i) 30 days after delivery of written notice of the breach; and (ii) the Termination Date; provided, further that MoneyLion continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach (it being understood that Fusion may not terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to this provision if: (A) it has materially breached the Merger Agreement and such breach has not been cured or (B) if such breach by MoneyLion is cured during such 30-day period); or

Effect of Termination

Specific Performance

The parties to the Merger Agreement agree that they shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the Merger Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms of provisions thereof prior to valid termination of the Merger Agreement.

ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

Sponsor Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) with Fusion, MoneyLion and Fusion’s directors and officers, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of Subject Securities (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) in favor of the Business Combination, against a business combination not relating to the Business Combination, against any change in the business, management and Fusion board of directors, other than in connection with the Business Combination and against any adjournment proposal, except as permitted pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement. In addition, Fusion, the Sponsor and Fusion’s directors and officers agreed to amend that certain letter agreement, dated as of June 25, 2020, so that the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) applicable to the Subject Securities (other than any private placement warrants) held by the Sponsor will end on the earlier of (a) 180 days after the Closing Date and (b) the date on which the closing price of the shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock is equal to or greater than $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period; provided that, for purposes of this clause (b), the measurement period for determining the closing price of the share of New MoneyLion Class A common stock shall commence no earlier than 60 days following the Closing Date.

MoneyLion Support Agreements

In connection with and following the execution of the Merger Agreement, Fusion entered into the MoneyLion Support Agreements, pursuant to which such MoneyLion stockholders agreed, among other things, to vote (whether pursuant to a duly convened meeting of MoneyLion’s stockholders or pursuant to an action by written consent) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination and any of the documents and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement thereto following the time at which the registration statement to which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act and delivered or otherwise made available to the MoneyLion stockholders. The shares of MoneyLion common stock and MoneyLion preferred stock held by the MoneyLion stockholders that entered into the MoneyLion Support Agreements represent (i) a majority of the outstanding voting power of the MoneyLion preferred stock, voting as a separate class, and (ii) a majority of the outstanding voting power of MoneyLion common stock and MoneyLion preferred stock (on an as converted basis), voting together as a single class. The shares of MoneyLion common stock and MoneyLion preferred stock subject to the MoneyLion Support Agreements represent the requisite majority to approve the Business Combination and any of the documents and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement thereto.

Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, New MoneyLion will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of New MoneyLion with respect to the shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock that will be issued and outstanding following the Business Combination. The Registration Rights Agreement will replace the registration rights agreement that Fusion, the Sponsor and Fusions’ directors and officers entered into in connection with Fusion’s initial public offering and will require New MoneyLion to, among other things, file a resale shelf registration statement on behalf of such stockholders promptly after the Closing. The Registration Rights Agreement will also provide certain demand rights and piggyback rights to such stockholders, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks and issuer blackout periods. New MoneyLion will agree to pay certain fees and expenses relating to registrations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

Subscription Agreements

Fusion entered into the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase immediately prior to the Closing an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Fusion Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. In connection with the Closing, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fusion Class A common stock, including the shares of Fusion Class A common stock issued to the PIPE Investors, will be exchanged, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of New MoneyLion common stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, New MoneyLion is required to file a registration statement to register the resale of the shares issued to the PIPE Investors within 30 calendar days following the Closing Date and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) three (3) years from the effective date of the registration statement, (ii) the date on which all of the shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have been sold or (iii) on the first date on which the PIPE Investors can sell all of the shares it received pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).

Omnibus Incentive Plan

At the Closing, New MoneyLion will adopt an omnibus incentive plan (the “Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which New MoneyLion will make grants to eligible individuals in amounts determined by the board of directors of New MoneyLion. The Incentive Plan will be effective upon the closing of the Business Transaction. Following the closing, and upon effectiveness the registration statement, New MoneyLion will register shares under the Incentive Plan on Form S-8. For a more fulsome description of the Incentive Plan, please see the “Incentive Plan Proposal” below.

Lock-Up

The Proposed Bylaws contain certain restrictions on transfer with respect to holders of (i) any share of New MoneyLion Class A common stock that was received as consideration in connection with the Business Combination by holders of MoneyLion common stock (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Earn Out Shares issued during the Lockup Period (as defined below)), (ii) stock options, other equity awards or warrants in respect of shares of New MoneyLion, in each case received pursuant to the Merger Agreement and outstanding as of immediately following the Closing (“ML Equity”) or (iii) shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock underlying ML Equity (collectively, the “Lockup Securities”). Such restrictions begin at the Effective Time and end on the date that is the earlier of (a) 180 days after the Closing Date and (b) the date on which the closing price of the shares of Class A common stock of New MoneyLion is equal to or greater than $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period (provided that, for purposes of this clause (b), the measurement period for determining the closing price of the share of New MoneyLion Class A common stock shall commence no earlier than 60 days following the Closing Date) (the “Lockup Period”). Following the expiration of such lock-up, holders of Lockup Securities will not be restricted from selling Lockup Securities held by them, other than by applicable securities laws.

THE CHARTER PROPOSAL

Overview

In connection with the Business Combination, Fusion is asking its stockholders to approve the adoption of the Proposed Charter, in the form attached hereto as Annex B. If the Business Combination and the Charter Proposal are approved, the Proposed Charter would replace the Current Charter.

Comparison of Current Charter to Proposed Charter

The following is a summary of the key changes effected by the Proposed Charter relative to the Current Charter, as well as the Fusion Board’s reasons for approval of the Charter Proposal. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proposed Charter, a copy of which is included as Annex B.

•        Change the post-combination company’s name to MoneyLion Inc.    Currently, Fusion’s name is Fusion Acquisition Corp. If the Charter Proposal is approved, Fusion’s name will be changed to MoneyLion Inc. Our board of directors believes the name of the post-combination company should more closely align with the name of the post-Business Combination operating business and therefore has proposed this name change. In addition, our board of directors believes that having the MoneyLion Inc. name as our own going forward will strengthen our reputation, brand and, as a result, stockholder value.

•        Removal of blank check company provisions.    Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best interest of Fusion to eliminate provisions of our Current Charter that are specific to our status as a blank check company. Removal of these provisions is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following consummation of the Business Combination, and many of these provisions cease to apply upon the consummation of Fusion’s initial business combination. For example, these proposed amendments remove the prohibition on Fusion entering into an initial Business Combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations. In addition, certain other provisions in our Current Charter require that proceeds from Fusion’s initial public offering be held in the Trust Account until a business combination or liquidation of merger has occurred.

•        Change stock classes and total number of authorized shares of common stock to 2,000,000,000 shares.    Our Current Charter authorizes the issuance of 380,000,000 shares of Fusion Class A common stock and 20,000,000 shares of Fusion Class B common stock. The Proposed Charter authorizes the issuance of 2,000,000,000 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock. As part of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, all shares of Fusion Class B common stock shall be automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Fusion Class A common stock, and all shares of Fusion Class A common stock shall become shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock under the Proposed Charter. Our board of directors determined that there was no longer a need to continue with two series of common stock and, therefore, the Proposed Charter eliminates the dual classes of our common stock as described above. The Proposed Charter also provides adequate authorized capital and flexibility for future issuances of common stock if determined by New MoneyLion Board to be in the best interests of the post-combination company, without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

•        Change stockholder vote required to 66⅔% in voting power of then outstanding shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock to (1) alter, amend or repeal the bylaws, (2) remove a director and (3) amend, alter or repeal certain provisions of the Proposed Charter.    Our Current Charter requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of outstanding shares for stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws and the Current Charter and to remove a director from office. The Proposed Charter will require an affirmative supermajority vote of the outstanding shares for the stockholders to amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws, to remove a director from office, and to amend certain provisions of the Proposed Charter. Our board of directors believes that this change protects such provisions from arbitrary amendment and prevents a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to the majority of our stockholders.

•        Provide that stockholders may not take action by written consent.    The Current Charter permits only holders of Class B common stock to take action by written consent in lieu of taking action at a meeting of stockholders. The Proposed Charter instead prohibits stockholder action by written consent by specifying that any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting and may not be effected by written consent of stockholders without a meeting. Our board of directors determined that upon the elimination of separate classes of stock and the conversion of all Class B common stock to Class A common stock, there was no longer a need for a provision applicable to the Class B common stock held by our Sponsor. In addition, our board of directors believes that prohibiting stockholder action by written consent is a prudent corporate governance measure to reduce the possibility that a block of stockholders could take corporate actions without the benefit of a stockholder meeting to consider important corporate issues.

Vote Required for Approval

The Charter Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other condition precedent proposals. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Charter Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by the Fusion Stockholders. Approval of the Charter Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Fusion Shares, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal.

Recommendation of Fusion Board

THE FUSION BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FUSION STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CHARTER PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Fusion’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of Fusion and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Fusion’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

Advisory Charter Proposal B — Director Removal

Our board of directors believes that supermajority voting requirements are appropriate at this time to protect all stockholders against the potential self-interested actions by one or a few large stockholders. Our board of directors believes that, going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages the person seeking control of New MoneyLion to negotiate with the board of directors to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders.

Advisory Charter Proposal C — Vote Required to Amend Certain Provisions of the Proposed Charter

Our board of directors believes that this change protects such provisions from arbitrary amendment and prevents a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to the majority of our stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Advisory Charter Proposal D — Vote Required to Amend the Proposed Bylaws

Our board of directors believes that this change protects such provisions from arbitrary amendment and prevents a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to the majority of our stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Advisory Charter Proposal E — Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Our board of directors determined that upon the elimination of separate classes of stock and the conversion of all Class B common stock to Class A common stock, there was no longer a need for a provision applicable to the Class B common stock held by our Sponsor. In addition, our board of directors believes that prohibiting stockholder action by written consent is a prudent corporate governance measure to reduce the possibility that a block of stockholders could take corporate actions without the benefit of a stockholder meeting to consider important corporate issues.

Advisory Charter Proposal F — Changes in Connection with Adoption of the Proposed Charter

Our board of directors believes that changing the post-business combination corporate name from “Fusion Acquisition Corp.” to “MoneyLion Inc.” and making the post-business combination company’s corporate existence perpetual is desirable to reflect the Business Combination with MoneyLion and to clearly identify the post-business combination company as the publicly traded entity. Additionally, perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and our board of directors believes that it is the most appropriate period for New MoneyLion following the Business Combination.

Furthermore, our board of directors has determined it is in the best interest of Fusion to eliminate provisions specific to our status as a blank check company. This deletion is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following consummation of the business combination. For example, these proposed amendments remove the requirement to dissolve Fusion and allow us to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the business combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and our board of directors believes it is the most appropriate period for the Company.

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of each of the Advisory Charter Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

Recommendation of Fusion Board

THE FUSION BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FUSION STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE ADVISORY CHARTER PROPOSALS.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Fusion’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of Fusion and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Fusion’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

In connection with the Business Combination, we intend to effect the issuance of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock to the stockholders of MoneyLion pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Why Fusion Needs Stockholder Approval

We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Under Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of shares of common stock in certain circumstances, including if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Fusion Class A common stock issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreements will represent greater than 20% of the number of shares of Fusion Class A common stock before such issuance and could result in a change of control of Fusion. As a result, stockholder approval of the issuance of shares Fusion Class A common stock issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement is required under the NYSE regulations.

Vote Required for Approval

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Stock Issuance Proposal will not be presented at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires the majority of the votes cast by the Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy at the Special Meeting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Stock Issuance Proposal. However, the NYSE considers abstentions as “votes cast” and, therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal.

The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, if the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Stock Issuance Proposal will not be effected.

Fusion’s Sponsor has agreed to vote the founder shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the Stock Issuance Proposal. See “Other Agreements — Sponsor Agreement” for more information.

Recommendation of the Fusion Board

THE FUSION BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Fusion’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of Fusion and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Fusion’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming that the Business Combination is approved, our shareholders are also being asked to approve and adopt the MoneyLion Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). In designing the Incentive Plan, the anticipated future equity needs were considered and the number of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock that may be subject to awards granted under the Incentive Plan was determined to be 17,712,158 and up to 38,985,776 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock subject to outstanding prior awards. Our board of directors has approved the Incentive Plan, subject to receiving shareholder approval. A summary of the principal features of the Incentive Plan is provided below. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the complete text of the Incentive Plan. A copy of the Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E. If the Business Combination closes and the Plan is approved by our shareholders, the Incentive Plan will be administered by the compensation committee or the New MoneyLion Board, as applicable (the “Committee”), which will have the authority to make awards under the Incentive Plan.

If the Incentive Plan is not approved by shareholders, New MoneyLion will be unable to make equity grants to its employees, consultants and directors, and therefore New MoneyLion will be at a significant competitive disadvantage in attracting, retaining and motivating talented individuals who contribute to its success.

Considerations for the Approval of the Incentive Plan

The Incentive Plan incorporates corporate governance best practices to align New MoneyLion’s equity compensation program with the interests of its shareholders. Certain of the corporate governance best practices included in the Incentive Plan are as follows:

Summary of the Incentive Plan

Purpose

The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to enable New MoneyLion to offer its employees, directors and other individual service providers long-term equity-based incentives, thereby attracting, retaining and rewarding such individuals, and strengthening the mutuality of interests between such individuals and New MoneyLion shareholders.

Eligibility

New MoneyLion’s employees, non-employee directors, individual consultants, advisors and other service providers are eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan based on the Committee’s determination, in its sole discretion, that an award to such individual will further the Incentive Plan’s stated purpose (as described above). Awards of incentive stock options will be limited to New MoneyLion’s employees or employees of certain of its affiliates. As of June 30, 2021, there are approximately 292 employees and 32 individual consultants, directors, advisers and other service providers eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan.

Authorized Shares

Subject to adjustment (as described below), the number of shares of Class A common stock that may be subject to awards granted under the Incentive Plan is 17,712,158 and up to 38,985,776 shares of Class A common stock subject to outstanding prior awards. No less than 9,840,088 shares of such Class A Common Stock will be available for grants pursuant to awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units, as described below. The number of shares of Class A common stock that may be subject to incentive stock options granted under the Incentive Plan is 58,410,395. The number of shares of New MoneyLion common stock reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan will automatically increase on each of January 1, 2022 (assuming the Incentive Plan becomes effective in 2021) and January 1, 2023, by the least of (i) 2% of the total number of shares of all classes of New MoneyLion common stock outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) such smaller number of shares of New MoneyLion common stock as determined by the Committee in its discretion. If an award expires or is canceled or forfeited, or is otherwise settled without the issuance of shares, the shares covered by the award will again be available for issuance under the Incentive Plan. Shares tendered or withheld to pay or satisfy the exercise price of a stock option or SAR or to pay taxes in respect of any stock option or SAR, will again be available for issuance under the Incentive Plan. Shares underlying replacement awards (i.e., awards granted as replacements for awards granted by a company that we acquire or with which we combine) will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Incentive plan. The Incentive Plan limits non-employee director compensation, including cash fees and incentive equity awards (based on their grant-date fair value), to a maximum of (i) $1,000,000 during the initial annual period following a non-employee director’s appointment or election to the board of directors and (ii) $750,000 per each subsequent calendar year, in each case, in respect of their service as non-employee directors. The limitation on non-employee director compensation applies beginning the first calendar year following the effective date of the Incentive Plan.

Administration

The Incentive Plan is administered by the Committee. The Committee (or its delegate) has authority under the Incentive Plan to:

•        designate participants;

•        determine the types of awards to grant, the number of shares to be covered by awards, the terms and conditions of awards, the circumstances under which awards may be canceled, forfeited or suspended, and whether awards may be deferred;

•        amend the terms of any outstanding awards;

•        correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Incentive Plan or any award agreement, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Incentive Plan into effect;

•        interpret and administer the Incentive Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or award made under, the Incentive Plan; and

•        make any other determination and take any other action that it deems necessary or desirable to administer the Incentive Plan, in each case, as it deems appropriate for the proper administration of the Incentive Plan and compliance with applicable law, stock market or exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations.

The Committee may delegate some or all of its authority under the Incentive Plan, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to (i) one or more of New MoneyLion’s officers (except that such delegation will not be applicable to grant awards to a person then covered by Section 16 of the Exchange Act) and (ii) one or more committees of the board of directors.

Establishment of Sub-plans

The Committee has the authority to establish one or more sub-plans under the Incentive Plan to facilitate the local administration of the Incentive Plan in any jurisdiction in which New MoneyLion and its affiliates operate and to conform the Incentive Plan to the legal requirements of any such jurisdiction or to allow for favorable tax treatment under any applicable provision of tax law. The Committee may establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements setting forth (i) such limitations on the committee’s discretion under the Incentive Plan as the Committee deems necessary or desirable and (ii) such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Incentive Plan as the Committee deems necessary or desirable. All sub-plans adopted by the Committee will be deemed to be part of the Incentive Plan, but each such sub-plan will only apply to participants within the affected jurisdiction.

Types of Awards

The Incentive Plan provides for grants of stock options (both nonqualified and incentive stock options), SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and other cash-based and other stock-based awards. Any award may be granted alone or in tandem with other awards, and may be granted in addition to, or in substitution for, other types of awards.

Stock Options.    A stock option is a contractual right to purchase shares at a future date at a specified exercise price. The per share exercise price of a stock option will be determined by the Committee and may not be less than the fair market value of a share of New MoneyLion common stock on the grant date. The Committee will determine the date after which each stock option may be exercised, the method and form by which each option is to be exercised, and the expiration date of each option, provided that no option will be exercisable more than ten years after the grant date. Options intended to be incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code may not be granted to any person who is not an employee of New MoneyLion or of any parent or subsidiary, as defined in Section 424 of the Code. There have not yet been any options granted under the Incentive Plan, and so there are no options currently outstanding under the Incentive Plan.

Stock Appreciation Rights.    Stock appreciation rights (SARs) represent a contractual right to receive, in cash or shares, an amount equal to the appreciation of one share from the grant date. The terms and conditions applicable to stock options also apply to SARs.

Restricted Stock.    Restricted stock is an award of shares that are subject to restrictions on transfer and a substantial risk of forfeiture. Recipients of restricted stock generally have the rights and privileges of a shareholder, including the right to vote such shares of restricted stock and to receive dividends.

Restricted Stock Units.    A restricted stock unit award is a right to receive a specified number of shares of New MoneyLion common stock (or the fair market value thereof in cash, other property or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee), subject to the expiration of a specified restriction period and/or the achievement of any performance measures selected by the Committee, consistent with the terms of the Incentive Plan. The restricted stock unit award agreement will specify whether the award recipient is entitled to receive dividend equivalents with respect to the number of shares of New MoneyLion common stock subject to the award. Prior to the settlement of a restricted stock unit award in New MoneyLion common stock, the award recipient will have no rights or privileges as a shareholder of New MoneyLion with respect to its common stock subject to the award.

Performance Awards.    Performance awards, which may be denominated in cash, shares or units (including restricted stock units) (or a combination thereof), will be earned on the satisfaction of performance goals specified by the Committee. With respect to any performance award that becomes settled in New MoneyLion common stock upon achievement or satisfaction of the applicable performance conditions, prior to such settlement the award recipient will have no rights or privileges as a shareholder of New MoneyLion with respect to its common stock subject to the award.

Other Cash-Based and Other Stock-Based Awards.    The Committee is authorized to grant other cash-based and other stock-based awards that are payable in cash or New MoneyLion common stock (or a combination thereof) and may be granted either independently or as an element of or supplement to any other award under the Incentive Plan. Other stock-based awards are valued in whole or in part by reference to New MoneyLion common stock, including restricted stock units, phantom stock and similar units.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

Other than with respect to awards of restricted stock, awards granted under the Incentive Plan may not provide for any dividend to be payable to the participant in respect of such award prior to the time such award (or the applicable portion thereof) vests (and, in the case of performance awards, the applicable performance condition is achieved). The Committee may, in its discretion, provide for dividend equivalents on awards of restricted stock units.

Adjustments

In the event the Committee determines that, as a result of any dividend or other distribution (other than an ordinary dividend or distribution), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, separation, rights offering, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event affecting New MoneyLion Class A common stock or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, an adjustment is necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Incentive Plan, the Committee will adjust equitably any or all of: (i) the number and type of shares or other securities that thereafter may be made the subject of awards, including the aggregate limit under the Incentive Plan; (ii) the number and type of shares or other securities subject to outstanding awards; (iii) the grant, purchase, exercise or hurdle price for any award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding award; and (iv) the terms and conditions of any outstanding awards, including the performance criteria of any performance awards.

Change in Control

In the event of a “change in control” (as described below and as defined in the Incentive Plan), except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, the Committee may provide for:

•        continuation or assumption of outstanding awards under the Incentive Plan by New MoneyLion (if New MoneyLion is the surviving corporation) or by the successor or surviving corporation or its parent;

•        substitution or replacement of any outstanding award by the successor or surviving entity or its parent for a cash payment, securities, rights or other property to be paid or issued, as the case may be, by the successor or surviving entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof);

•        acceleration of the vesting (including the lapse of any restriction) and exercisability of outstanding awards, in each case, either (i) immediately prior to or as of the date of the change in control, (ii) upon a participant’s involuntary termination of service on or within a specified period following the change in control, or (iii) upon the failure of the successor or surviving corporation (or its parent) to continue or assume such outstanding awards;

•        in the case of a performance award, determination of the level of attainment of the applicable performance conditions; and

•        cancellation of outstanding awards under the Incentive Plan in consideration of a payment, with the form, amount and timing of such payment to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, provided that (i) such payment is made in cash, securities, rights and/or other property, (ii) the amount of such payment equals the value of the award, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (provided that the Committee may cancel out-of-the-money options or SARs for no consideration) and (iii) such payment will be made promptly following the change in control, in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

A “change in control” under the Incentive Plan generally means (i) the acquisition of 50% or more of New MoneyLion Class A common stock or combined voting power of voting securities; (ii) a change in the composition of the New MoneyLion Board such that, during any twelve-month period, the individuals who as of the beginning of such period constitute the New MoneyLion Board cease for any reason to constitute at least 50% of the New MoneyLion Board (provided that any individual becoming a member of the New MoneyLion Board after the beginning of such twelve-month period whose election or nomination for election by New MoneyLion’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors immediately prior to the date of such appointment or election will be considered as though such individual were a member of the New MoneyLion Board at the beginning

of such twelve-month period); (iii) New MoneyLion’s merger or consolidation with another entity after which New MoneyLion’s voting securities outstanding immediately prior to such transaction do not continue to represent 50% or more of the total voting power of New MoneyLion’s stock or of the surviving entity or parent entity thereof (if New MoneyLion is not the surviving entity in such merger or consolidation); or (iv) a disposition of all or substantially all of New MoneyLion’s assets.

Amendment and Termination

The New MoneyLion Board may amend, modify, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Incentive Plan (or any portion thereof) at any time. However, no such action may, without the consent of the participant, materially adversely affect the rights of such participant under any award previously granted (other than to apply with applicable law or to impose any clawback or recoupment provisions on any awards). Additionally, no such action may be made without New MoneyLion shareholder approval, if such approval is required by applicable law or by the rules of the stock market or exchange on which New MoneyLion Class A common shares are principally quoted or traded (including the NYSE). No award may be granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Incentive Plan was approved by our shareholders.

Prohibition on Repricing

Subject to the adjustment provision described above, the Committee may not directly or indirectly, through cancellation or re-grant or any other method, reduce, or have the effect of reducing, the exercise or hurdle price of any award established at the time of grant without approval of our shareholders.

Cancellation or “Clawback” of Awards

The Committee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law and stock exchange rules or by any of New MoneyLion’s policies (including any recoupment policy it may adopt from time to time or pursuant to the recoupment provisions in any award agreement), cancel or require reimbursement of any awards granted, shares issued or cash received upon the vesting, exercise or settlement of any awards granted under the Incentive Plan or the sale of shares underlying such awards.

Term

The Incentive Plan expires ten years after the date on which the Business Combination is consummated, unless earlier terminated (x) upon the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Incentive Plan having been issued or (y) by the New MoneyLion Board at its discretion (and in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Plan).

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Equity Awards

The following is a general summary under current law of certain United States federal income tax consequences to New MoneyLion and participants who are citizens or individual residents of the United States relating to awards granted under the Incentive Plan. This summary deals with the general tax principles that apply to such awards and is provided only for general information. Certain kinds of taxes, such as foreign taxes, state and local income taxes, payroll taxes and the alternative minimum tax, are not discussed. This summary is not tax advice and it does not discuss all aspects of federal taxation that may be relevant to us and participants. Accordingly, we urge each participant to consult his or her own tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences of participation in the Incentive Plan under federal, state, local and other applicable laws. In addition, we may be subject to limits on tax deductibility relating to compensation described herein under certain statutory provisions, including Sections 162(m) and 280G of the Code.

Non-Qualified Stock Options

A non-qualified stock option is an option that does not meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. A participant generally will not recognize taxable income when granted a non-qualified stock option. When the participant exercises the stock option, he or she generally will recognize taxable ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares received on the exercise date over the aggregate exercise price of the shares. The participant’s tax basis in the shares acquired on exercise of the option will be increased by the amount of such

taxable income. We generally will be entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction. When the participant sells the shares acquired on exercise, the participant generally will realize long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the participant holds the shares for more than one year before selling them.

Incentive Stock Options

An incentive stock option (or “ISO”) is an option that meets the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. A participant will not have taxable income when granted an ISO or when exercising an ISO. If a participant exercises an ISO and does not dispose of the shares until the later of two years after the grant date and one year after the exercise date, the entire gain, if any, realized when the participant sells the shares will be taxable as long-term capital gain. However, even though a participant will not have taxable income when exercising an ISO, the exercise of an ISO is taken into account for purposes of determining whether the participant has any alternative minimum tax liability (described below). We generally will not be entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction.

If a participant disposes of the shares received upon exercise of an ISO within the one-year or two-year periods described above, it will be considered a “disqualifying disposition.” Under such circumstances, the participant generally will realize ordinary income in the year of the disposition, and we generally will be entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction. The amounts of the participant’s ordinary income and our deduction will equal the excess of the lesser of the amount, if any, realized on the disposition and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date over the aggregate exercise price of the ISO. Any additional gain or loss that the participant realizes on the disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the participant holds the shares for more than one year before selling them.

If a participant exercises an ISO more than three months after the participant’s employment terminates, the option will be treated as a non-qualified stock option for federal income tax purposes. If a participant is disabled and terminates employment because of his or her disability, the three-month period is extended to one year. The three-month period does not apply in the case of a participant’s death.

SARs

A participant does not recognize income at the time a SAR is granted. A participant will recognize income at the time cash or stock representing the amount of the appreciation is transferred to the participant pursuant to exercise of a SAR. The amount of income will equal the amount of cash or fair market value of shares paid or transferred to the participant and will be ordinary income. New MoneyLion generally will be entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction.

Restricted Stock

Unless a participant makes an election to accelerate recognition of the income to the date of grant as described below, the participant generally will not recognize income, and New MoneyLion generally will not be entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction at the time restricted stock is granted. When the restrictions lapse, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares as of that date, less any amount paid for the restricted stock, and New MoneyLion generally will be entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time. If the participant files an election under Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days after the date of grant of the restricted stock, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income as of the date of grant equal to the fair market value of the common shares as of that date, less any amount the participant paid for the restricted stock, and New MoneyLion generally will be entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time. Any future appreciation in the shares generally will be taxable to the participant at capital gains rates. However, if the restricted stock is later forfeited, the participant generally will not be able to recover the tax previously paid pursuant to his Section 83(b) election.

Registration with the SEC

If our shareholders approve the Incentive Plan, New MoneyLion plans to file a registration statement on a Form S-8 with the SEC, as soon as reasonably practicable after such approval, to register the shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan.

New Plan Benefits

As described above, the Committee, in its discretion, will select the participants who receive awards and the size and types of those awards under the Incentive Plan, if the Incentive Plan is approved by our shareholders. Therefore, the awards (or associated benefits or amounts) that will be made to particular individuals or groups of individuals in the future under the Incentive Plan are not currently determinable.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Fusion did not maintain, or have any securities authorized for issuance under, any equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2020.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Failure to submit a proxy at the Fusion Special Meeting and a broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of the Incentive Plan Proposal. However, the NYSE considers abstentions as “votes cast” and, therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal. The Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposals. If the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal or the Stock Issuance Proposals are not approved, the Incentive Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by our stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE FUSION BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FUSION STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

THE ESPP PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming that the Business Combination is approved, our shareholders are also being asked to approve and adopt the MoneyLion Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). In designing the ESPP, the anticipated future equity needs were considered, and a total of 3,936,035 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock will be reserved for issuance under the ESPP. Our board of directors has approved the ESPP, subject to receiving shareholder approval. A summary of the principal features of the ESPP is provided below. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the complete text of the ESPP. A copy of the ESPP is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F. If the Business Combination closes and the ESPP is approved by our shareholders, the ESPP will be administered by the Committee which will have the authority to make awards under the ESPP.

If the ESPP is not approved by shareholders, we will be unable to provide a means by which New MoneyLion employees will be given an opportunity to purchase shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, and therefore we will be at a significant competitive disadvantage in attracting, retaining and motivating talented individuals who contribute to New MoneyLion’s success.

Purpose

The purpose of the ESPP is to provide a means by which New MoneyLion employees may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, to assist it in retaining the services of New MoneyLion employees, to secure and retain the services of new employees and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for New MoneyLion’s success. The ESPP includes two components: (i) one component (the “423 Component”) is designed to allow eligible U.S. employees to purchase shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock in a manner that is intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 423 of the Code, and (ii) the other component (the “Non-423 Component”) provides for purchase rights which do not by operation of law qualify for such favorable tax treatment to permit participation by eligible employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the U.S. Any Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component unless otherwise required under applicable foreign laws.

Administration

Unless otherwise determined by the New MoneyLion Board, the Committee will administer the ESPP. The Committee has the power, subject to the provisions of the ESPP, to construe and interpret both the ESPP and the rights granted under it; to determine when and how rights to purchase our common stock will be granted and the provisions of each offering of such rights (which need not be identical); to designate whether employees of New MoneyLion subsidiary companies will be eligible to participate in the ESPP; to adopt sub-plans or special rules applicable to participants in particular designated subsidiaries or locations, which special rules may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code and under the Non-423 Component; and to amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP.

Shares Subject to the ESPP

Subject to adjustment for certain changes in New MoneyLion’s capitalization, the maximum number of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock that may be issued pursuant to rights granted under the ESPP is 3,936,035 shares. The number of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP will automatically increase on the first day of each calendar year during the term of the ESPP, commencing on January 1, 2022 (assuming the ESPP becomes effective in 2021) through January 1, 2032, by the least of (i) 3,936,035 shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock, (ii) 1.5% of the total number of shares of all classes of New MoneyLion common stock outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, or (iii) such smaller number of shares of New MoneyLion common stock as determined by the New MoneyLion Board. If any rights granted under the ESPP terminate without being exercised in full, the shares of common stock not purchased under such rights shall again become available for issuance under the ESPP. The shares of common stock issuable under the ESPP will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock, including shares repurchased by New MoneyLion on the open market.

Offerings

The ESPP will be implemented by offerings of rights to purchase shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock to all eligible employees. The Committee will determine the duration of each offering period, provided that in no event may an offering period exceed 27 months, and the terms and conditions of each offering period will be set forth in an offering document. The Committee may establish separate offerings which vary in terms (although not inconsistent with the provisions of the ESPP or the requirements of applicable laws). Each offering period will have one or more purchase dates, as determined by the Committee prior to the commencement of the offering period. The Committee has the authority to alter the terms of an offering prior to the commencement of the offering period, including the duration of subsequent offering periods. When an eligible employee elects to join an offering period, he or she is granted a right to purchase shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock on each purchase date within the offering period. On the purchase date, all contributions collected from the participant are automatically applied to the purchase of New MoneyLion common stock, subject to certain limitations (which are described further below under “Eligibility”).

The Committee has the discretion to structure an offering so that if the fair market value of New MoneyLion Class A common stock on the first trading day of a new purchase period within the offering period is less than or equal to the fair market value of New MoneyLion Class A common stock on the first day of the offering period, then that offering will terminate immediately as of that first trading day, and the participants in such terminated offering will be automatically enrolled in a new offering beginning on the first trading day of such new purchase period.

Eligibility — Broad-Based Participation

Any individual who is employed by New MoneyLion (or by any of its subsidiary companies if such company complies with Section 423 and is designated by the Committee as eligible to participate in the ESPP) may participate in offerings under the ESPP, provided such individual has been employed by New MoneyLion (or its subsidiary, if applicable) for such continuous period preceding the first day of the offering period as the compensation committee may require, but in no event may the required period of continuous employment be equal to or greater than two years. In addition, the Committee may provide that an employee will not be eligible to be granted purchase rights under the ESPP unless such employee is customarily employed for more than 20 hours per week and five months per calendar year. The Committee may also provide in any offering that certain of New MoneyLion’s employees who are “highly compensated” as defined in the Code are not eligible to participate in the ESPP. New MoneyLion’s non-employee directors will not be eligible to participate in the ESPP.

No employee will be eligible to participate in the ESPP if, immediately after the grant of purchase rights, the employee would own, directly or indirectly, stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of New MoneyLion stock or of any of its subsidiary companies, including any stock which such employee may purchase under all outstanding purchase rights and options. In addition, no employee may purchase more than $25,000 worth of New MoneyLion Class A common stock (determined based on the fair market value of the shares at the time such rights are granted) in each calendar year during which such rights are outstanding.

As of June 30, 2021, approximately 117 employees would have been eligible to participate in the ESPP.

Participation in the ESPP; Limits on Employee Contributions

An eligible employee may enroll in the ESPP by delivering to New MoneyLion, prior to the date selected by the Committee as the beginning of an offering period, an agreement authorizing contributions in the form of payroll deductions which must equal a whole percentage (and which may not be less than 1%) of such employee’s earnings (as defined in the ESPP) during the offering period and which may not exceed the maximum amount specified by the Committee, but in any case, which may not exceed 15% of such employee’s earnings during the offering period. Each participant will be granted a separate purchase right for each offering in which he or she participates. Unless an employee’s participation is discontinued, his or her purchase right will be exercised automatically at the end of each purchase period at the applicable purchase price.

Purchase Price and Limits; Payroll Deductions

The purchase price per share at which shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock are sold on each purchase date during an offering period will not be less than the lower of (i) 85% of the fair market value of a share of New MoneyLion common stock on the first day of the offering period or (ii) 85% of the fair market value of a share of New MoneyLion Class A common stock on the purchase date.

The purchase of shares during an offering period generally will be funded by a participant’s payroll deductions accumulated during the offering period. A participant may decrease his or her rate of contributions, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the offering document. All contributions made for a participant are credited to his or her account under the ESPP and deposited with New MoneyLion’s general funds.

In connection with each offering made under the ESPP, the Committee may specify (i) a maximum number of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock that may be purchased by any participant on any purchase date pursuant to such offering, which, in any case, may not exceed 15% of such employee’s eligible earnings during the offering period, (ii) a maximum aggregate number of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock that may be purchased by all participants pursuant to such offering, and/or (iii) a maximum aggregate number of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock that may be purchased by all participants on any purchase date pursuant to such offering. If the aggregate purchase of shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of purchase rights granted under such offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, then the Committee will make a pro rata allocation of available shares in a uniform and equitable manner.

Withdrawal; Termination of Employment; Restrictions on Transfer

Participants may withdraw from a given offering by delivering a withdrawal form to New MoneyLion and terminating their contributions. Such withdrawal may be elected generally at any time prior to the end of an offering (but no later than one week prior to the end of the applicable offering period), except as otherwise provided by the Committee and set forth in the offering document. Upon such withdrawal, New MoneyLion will distribute to the employee his or her accumulated but unused contributions without interest, and such employee’s right to participate in that offering will terminate. However, an employee’s withdrawal from an offering does not affect such employee’s eligibility to participate in subsequent offerings under the ESPP.

A participant’s rights under any offering under the ESPP will terminate immediately if the participant either (i) is no longer employed by New MoneyLion or any of its subsidiary companies (subject to any post-employment participation period required by law) or (ii) is otherwise no longer eligible to participate. In such event, New MoneyLion will distribute to the participant his or her accumulated but unused contributions without interest.

Rights granted under the ESPP are not transferable except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or if permitted by New MoneyLion, by a beneficiary designation. During a participant’s lifetime, such rights may only be exercised by the participant.

Changes in Capitalization and Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions

In the event that there occurs a change in New MoneyLion’s capital structure through such actions as a dividend or other distribution, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of New MoneyLion’s assets, or sale or exchange of New MoneyLion Class A common stock or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects New MoneyLion Class A common stock such that the Committee determines that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the ESPP or with respect to any outstanding purchase rights under the ESPP, the Committee will appropriately adjust: (i) the type and maximum number of securities subject to the ESPP; (ii) the class(es) and number of securities subject to, and the purchase price applicable to, outstanding purchase rights; and (iii) the class(es) and number of securities that are the subject of any purchase limits under each ongoing offering.

In the event of a corporate transaction (as defined in the ESPP and described above), (i) any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) may assume or continue outstanding purchase rights granted under the ESPP or may substitute similar rights (including a right to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholder

in the corporate transaction) for such outstanding purchase rights, or (ii) if any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue such outstanding purchase rights or does not substitute similar rights for such outstanding purchase rights, then the participants’ accumulated contributions will be used to purchase shares of New MoneyLion Class A common stock under such purchase rights, and such purchase rights and the ESPP will terminate immediately after such purchase.

Duration, Amendment and Termination

The compensation committee may amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. However, for certain capitalization adjustments, any such amendment must be approved by New MoneyLion stockholders if such approval is required by applicable law, including any listing requirements. Stockholder approval is required for the following amendments: (i) to increase the aggregate number, or change the type, of shares that may be sold pursuant to rights under the ESPP (other than upon certain specified adjustments), (ii) to change the corporations or classes of corporations whose employees may be granted rights under the ESPP, or (iii) to change the ESPP in any manner that would cause the 423 Component to no longer be an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Code. Upon termination of the ESPP, each participant’s balance will be refunded as soon as practicable without interest.

Any outstanding purchase rights granted before an amendment or termination of the ESPP will not be materially impaired by any such amendment or termination, except (i) with the consent of the employee to whom such purchase rights were granted, (ii) as necessary to comply with applicable laws, including any listing requirements or governmental regulations (including Section 423 of the Code), or (iii) as necessary to obtain or maintain favorable tax, listing or regulatory treatment.

Notwithstanding anything in the ESPP or any offering to the contrary, the Committee will be entitled to: (i) change the offering periods, (ii) limit the frequency and/or number of changes in amounts withheld from employee earnings during an offering period, (iii) establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, if applicable; (iv) permit contributions in excess of the amount designated by a participant to adjust for delays or mistakes in processing of properly completed contribution elections; (v) establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of common stock for each participant properly correspond with that participant’s contributions; and (vi) establish other limitations or procedures as the Committee determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the ESPP; provided in each case that such actions qualify under and/or comply with Section 423 of the Code.

Federal Income Tax Information

The following is a summary of the principal United States federal income tax consequences to participants and New MoneyLion with respect to participation in the ESPP. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any local, state or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside. The information is based upon current federal income tax rules and therefore is subject to change when those rules change. Because the tax consequences to any participant may depend on his or her particular situation, each participant should consult the participant’s tax adviser regarding the federal, state, local, and other tax consequences of the grant or exercise of a purchase right or the sale or other disposition of New MoneyLion Class A common stock acquired under the ESPP. The ESPP is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The ESPP, and the rights of participant employees to make purchases thereunder, qualify for treatment under the provisions of Sections 421 and 423 of the Code. Under these provisions, no income will be taxable to a participant until the shares purchased under the ESPP are sold or otherwise disposed of.

Upon sale or other disposition of the shares, the participant will generally be subject to tax and the amount of the tax will depend upon the holding period. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of more than two years from the first day of the relevant offering period (and more than one year from the date the shares are purchased), then the participant generally will recognize ordinary income measured as the lesser of:

(i)     the excess of the fair market value of the common stock at the time of such sale or disposition over the purchase price of such shares, or

(ii)    an amount equal to 15% of the fair market value of the shares as of the first day of the applicable offering period.

Any additional gain should be treated as long-term capital gain. If the shares are held for at least the holding periods described above but are sold for a price that is less than the purchase price, there will be no ordinary income and the difference will be a long-term capital loss. New MoneyLion will not be entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of a right to purchase the shares, or the sale of such shares by a participant, where such participant holds such shares for at least the holding periods described above.

Any sale or other disposition of shares before the expiration of the holding periods described above will be a “disqualifying disposition,” and the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of such disposition generally measured as the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares are purchased over the purchase price, and New MoneyLion will be entitled to an income tax deduction for such ordinary income. Any additional gain or loss on such sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period following the date the shares were purchased by the participant prior to such sale or disposition, and New MoneyLion will not be entitled to an income tax deduction for any such capital gain.

New Plan Benefits

Participation in the ESPP is voluntary and each eligible employee will make his or her own decision regarding whether and to what extent to participate in the ESPP. In addition, the New MoneyLion Board and the Committee have not granted any purchase rights under the ESPP that are subject to stockholder approval of this ESPP Proposal. Accordingly, the benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to New MoneyLion executive officers and other employees under the ESPP are not determinable.

Registration with the SEC

If the ESPP is approved by our stockholders and becomes effective, New MoneyLion is expected to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming eligible to use such form.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the ESPP Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Failure to submit a proxy at the Fusion Special Meeting and a broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of the ESPP Proposal. However, the NYSE considers abstentions as “votes cast” and, therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal. The ESPP Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposals. If the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal or the Stock Issuance Proposals are not approved, the ESPP Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by our stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board

THE FUSION BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FUSION STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ESPP PROPOSAL.

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow Fusion’s board of directors to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Stock Issuance Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal, or holders of Fusion Class A common stock have elected to redeem an amount of Fusion Class A common stock such that Fusion would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or the Minimum Proceeds Condition would not be satisfied or waived by MoneyLion. In no event will Fusion’s board of directors adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under the Current Charter and Delaware law.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by the Fusion Stockholders, Fusion’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposals, the Stock Issuance Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal, or holders of Fusion Class A common stock have elected to redeem an amount of Fusion Class A common stock such that Fusion would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or the Minimum Proceeds Condition would not be satisfied or waived by MoneyLion, and may be unable to consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by December 31, 2021 (subject to the requirements of law), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the majority of the votes cast by the Fusion Stockholders present in person (which would include presence at the virtual Special Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

The Business Combination is not conditioned upon the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote the founder shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary). See “Other Agreements — Sponsor Agreement” for more information.

Recommendation of the Fusion Board

THE FUSION BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Fusion’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of Fusion and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Fusion’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.
