16. STOCK WARRANTS

Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants

As a result of the Business Combination, MoneyLion acquired from Fusion, as of September 22, 2021, Public Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 17,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 8,100,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, at any time commencing on 12 months from closing of Fusion’s initial public offering.

Redemption of Warrants for Cash

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption:

If and when the warrants become redeemable, the Company may exercise the redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. Except as described above, if holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the product of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the warrants multiplied by the excess of the “historical fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants, by the historical fair market value (a “Make-Whole Exercise”). For these purposes, the “historical fair market value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock of MoneyLion. Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent.

The Public Warrants meet the conditions for equity classification in accordance with ASC 815-40. At the time of the Merger, the Public Warrants assumed by the Company were recorded at fair value within additional paid-in capital in the amount of $23,275. 

As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate value of the Private Placement Warrants was $22,916, representing warrants outstanding to purchase  8,100,000 shares of MoneyLion Common Stock. The Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrants payable on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrants payable in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Private Placement Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Private Placement Warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The primary unobservable inputs utilized in determining fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock.
