Introductory Note

 

On September 22, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), MoneyLion Inc., a Delaware corporation, formerly known as Fusion Acquisition Corp. (prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), “Fusion” and after the Effective Time, “New MoneyLion”), consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 11, 2021 and amended on June 28, 2021 and September 4, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Fusion, ML Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Fusion (“Merger Sub”), and MoneyLion Technologies Inc., formerly known as MoneyLion Inc. (“MoneyLion”), a Delaware corporation.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately upon the completion of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), each of the following transactions occurred in the following order: (i) Merger Sub merged with and into MoneyLion, with MoneyLion surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fusion (the “Merger”); (ii) MoneyLion changed its name to “MoneyLion Technologies Inc.”; and (iii) Fusion changed its name to “MoneyLion Inc.”

 

As previously announced, on February 11, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Fusion entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, 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 (“PIPE Shares”) of Fusion Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“New MoneyLion Common Stock”), to the PIPE Investors for $10.00 per share, for an aggregate commitment amount of $250,000,000 (the “PIPE Financing”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, Fusion gave certain re-sale registration rights to the PIPE Investors with respect to the PIPE Shares. The PIPE Financing was consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing.

 

Additional information regarding the Merger Agreement and Subscription Agreements is described in the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 3, 2021 (as amended, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) in the sections titled “The Business Combination Proposal,” “The Merger Agreement” and “Ancillary Agreements Related to the Business Combination —Subscription Agreements,” which are incorporated by reference herein.

On the Closing Date, New MoneyLion entered into indemnification agreements with its directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the Board. Each such indemnification agreement provides for indemnification and advancements by New MoneyLion of certain expenses and costs relating to claims resulting from his or her involvement as a director, officer, employee or agent of New MoneyLion or from his or her service at the request of New MoneyLion as a director, officer, employee or agent for another entity.

 

The foregoing description of the indemnification agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the indemnification agreements, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

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

 

Immediately prior to the time of filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware upon consummation of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all issued and outstanding shares of MoneyLion preferred stock (the “MoneyLion Preferred Stock”) converted into shares of MoneyLion common stock (the “MoneyLion Common Stock”), par value $0.0001 per share (the “Conversion”), in accordance with MoneyLion’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. At the Effective Time:

 

all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of MoneyLion Preferred Stock or MoneyLion Common Stock (“MoneyLion Warrants”) were either exercised and ultimately converted into shares of MoneyLion Common Stock or terminated;

 

10,202,163 outstanding shares of MoneyLion Common Stock (which includes the shares of MoneyLion Common Stock issued to former holders of MoneyLion Warrants) were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive 184,285,695 shares of New MoneyLion Common Stock;

 

3,394,660 outstanding and unexercised options to purchase shares of MoneyLion Common Stock (“MoneyLion Options”) converted into options to acquire 38,732,676 shares of New MoneyLion Common Stock, of which 18,861,298 options are vested and 19,871,378 options are unvested; and

 

each holder of an outstanding share of MoneyLion Common Stock (following the Conversion) and/or MoneyLion Options (each such holder, an “Earnout Participant”) also received the right to receive the applicable pro rata portion of New MoneyLion Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”) with respect to each share of New MoneyLion Common Stock or option exercisable for shares of New MoneyLion Common Stock, contingent upon New MoneyLion Common Stock reaching certain price milestones.

 

A maximum of 17,500,000 Earnout Shares are contingently payable as follows:

 

First Share Price Milestone. If after the Closing Date, but before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the closing share price of New MoneyLion 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 beginning on or after the Closing Date, New MoneyLion will issue to each Earnout Participant its pro rata portion of 7,500,000 Earnout Shares.

 

Second Share Price Milestone. If after the Closing Date, but before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the closing share price of New MoneyLion Common Stock equals or exceeds $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 beginning on or after the Closing Date, New MoneyLion will issue to each Earnout Participant its pro rata portion of 10,000,000 Earnout Shares.

In connection with the Closing, holders of 25,887,987 shares of Fusion’s Class A common stock sold in its initial public offering (the “public shares”) exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a pro rata portion of the proceeds from Fusion’s initial public offering held in the Trust Account (as defined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) plus interest, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, or approximately $10.00 per share and approximately $258,895,892 million in the aggregate (the “Redemptions”). The consummation of the Transactions resulted in approximately $341,237,366 in gross cash proceeds to New MoneyLion, approximately $50,688,543 of which was used to pay transaction-related expenses and for the paydown of existing MoneyLion debt obligations. Following the Redemptions and the issuance of PIPE Shares in connection with the PIPE Financing, 42,862,013 public shares remained outstanding (consisting of 25,000,000 shares held by PIPE Investors, 8,750,000 shares held by the Sponsor and 9,112,013 shares held by Fusion public stockholders).

 

The Merger Agreement provides that MoneyLion’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (but not Fusion’s) was conditioned on, among other things, a requirement that the funds contained in the Trust Account as of the Closing Date (the “Available New MoneyLion Cash”), after all amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Redemptions have been paid, together with the proceeds actually received by Fusion upon consummation of the PIPE Financing (as defined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) and after giving effect to the payment of all Parent Transaction Costs and Company Transaction Costs (each as defined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) must be equal to or exceed $260,000,000 (the “Minimum Required Funds”). On the Closing Date the Available New MoneyLion Cash exceeded the Minimum Required Funds.

 

As previously announced, on February 11, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Fusion, MoneyLion, Fusion’s directors and officers and the Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and which is incorporated herein by reference (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”).

 

Upon consummation of the Transactions:

 

each outstanding share of Fusion Class B common stock automatically converted into one share of New MoneyLion Common Stock; and

 

outstanding warrants to purchase the common stock of Fusion automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares of New MoneyLion Common Stock.

 

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

 

227,147,708 shares of New MoneyLion Common Stock;

 

38,732,676 New MoneyLion options, of which options to purchase 18,861,298 shares of New MoneyLion Common Stock are vested and options to purchase 19,871,378 shares of New MoneyLion Common stock are unvested; and

 

17,500,000 public warrants, each exercisable for one share of New MoneyLion Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share and 8,100,000 private placement warrants, each exercisable for one share of New MoneyLion Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

 

A more complete description of the material terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus sections titled “The Business Combination Proposal” and “The Merger Agreement,” which are incorporated herein by reference. The disclosure set forth in the “Introductory Note” above of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) and Exhibits 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 attached hereto are also incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
