Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 13, 2017, FinTech Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) announced that the holders of the Company’s units (“Units”) may elect to separately trade their securities included in the Units commencing on March 13, 2017. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one-half of one warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company will not issue fractional Warrants upon the separation of Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Those Units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FNTEU” and each of the underlying shares of Common Stock and the Warrants are expected to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “FNTE” and “FNTEW,” respectively. Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into shares of Common Stock and Warrants.
A copy of the Press Release issued by the Company announcing the separate trading of the securities underlying the Units is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
