Omnibus Incentive Plan

 

At the Special Meeting, Fusion stockholders approved the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan. At the Company's 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2022 Annual Meeting"), Company stockholders approved the Company's Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (as may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Incentive Plan”), as further described in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting, filed with the SEC on April 29, 2022.

 

As of the Business Combination Closing, each Legacy MoneyLion option to purchase shares of Legacy MoneyLion Common Stock (a “Legacy MoneyLion Option”) that was outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing Date automatically converted into the right to receive an option to acquire a number of shares of MoneyLion Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Legacy MoneyLion Common Stock subject to such Legacy MoneyLion Option as of immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing Date, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share), at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such Legacy MoneyLion Option in effect immediately prior to the Business Combination Closing Date, divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The intent behind the terms in the Business Combination Merger Agreement related to the exchange of the Legacy MoneyLion Options was to provide the holders with awards of equal value to the original awards. Accordingly, the impact of the conversion was such that the number of shares issuable under the modified awards and the related exercise prices were adjusted using the Exchange Ratio with all other terms remaining unchanged. The conversion ratio adjustment was without substance (akin to a stock split), and therefore, the effect of the change in the number of shares and the exercise price and share value were equal and offsetting to one another. As a result, the fair value of the modified awards was equal to the fair value of the awards immediately before the modification and, therefore, there was no incremental compensation expense to be recognized. There were no changes to the vesting period within the Incentive Plan.

 

Stock-based compensation of $5,127 and $586 was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $13,643 and $2,425 was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The number of units awarded under the Incentive Plan are generally based on a weighted average of the MoneyLion Class A Common Stock in the days leading up to the grant. Fair values for options are calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and PSUs with market conditions are fair valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
