FTCV FinTech Acquisition Corporation V

Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced, FinTech Acquisition Corp. V (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 16, 2021 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), with eToro Group Ltd. (“eToro”) and Buttonwood Merger Sub Corp. Also as previously announced, concurrently with entering into the Original Merger Agreement, eToro entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors.

Under the Original Merger Agreement, each of eToro and the Company had the right to terminate the Original Merger Agreement as of, and the Subscription Agreements were scheduled to terminate automatically in accordance with their terms on, December 31, 2021. Despite the best efforts of the parties, the parties will not have satisfied the requisite closing conditions set forth in the Original Merger Agreement as of December 31, 2021, including the condition that eToro’s registration statement on Form F-4 be declared effective. Accordingly, the business combination contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”) cannot be consummated before December 31, 2021.

In order to facilitate the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, on December 30, 2021, eToro and the Company entered into an amendment to the Original Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Amendment” and together with the Original Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreement”). Concurrently with entering into the Merger Agreement Amendment, eToro entered into amendments to certain of its Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Amended Subscription Agreements”).

Under the Merger Agreement Amendment, the parties agreed, among other things, to extend the Outside Date (as defined in the Original Merger Agreement) from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 and change the pre-money valuation of eToro from $9.301 billion to $7.906 billion. As such, the estimated implied post-money equity value of eToro is approximately $8.8 billion.¹ In addition, the number of Price Adjustment Rights (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that correspond to the $17.50 price trigger issuable to eToro shareholders was reduced on a one-for-one basis for every warrant to be issued to the investors under the Amended Subscription Agreements at the closing of the business combination, as described further below.

Under the Amended Subscription Agreements, the relevant parties agreed, among other things, to extend the date on which the Subscription Agreements would have otherwise automatically terminated from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Additionally, the investors party to the Amended Subscription Agreements will receive warrants to purchase common shares of eToro if, following the closing, the eToro closing stock price is equal to or greater than $17.50 over a specified period, which warrants have substantially similar terms to the terms of the Price Adjustment Rights. Under the Amended Subscription Agreements, as of the date of this communication, eToro has received commitments for $441 million in the aggregate.

The consummation of the Business Combination remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the effectiveness of eToro’s registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the Business Combination and receipt of the requisite approvals of the eToro shareholders and the Company stockholders.
