FinTech Evolution Acquisition Group (the “Company”) (NYSE: FTEV), announced today that due to its inability to complete an initial business combination within the time period required by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”), it has the company’s board of directors elected to dissolve and liquidate the company in accordance with the provisions of its charter, and will redeem all outstanding Class A ordinary shares that were included in the shares issued in its initial public offering (the “Public Shares”), at a redemption price per share of currently estimated to be approximately $10.18.
As of the close of business on March 13, 2023, the public shares will be considered canceled and will represent only the right to receive the redemption amount. The company expects that the last day for the public shares to be traded will be 3 March 2023. Trading in public shares will be suspended with effect before the opening of the markets on 6 March 2023.
In order to provide for the disbursement of funds from the trust account, the company will instruct the trustee of the trust account to take all necessary actions to liquidate the securities in the trust account. The income from the trust account will be held in a non-interest bearing account pending payment to the holders of the public shares. Holders of record will receive their pro rata share of the trust account income by delivering their public shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent. However, beneficial owners of public shares held in “street name” will not need to do anything to receive the redemption amount. The redemption of the public shares is expected to be completed within ten working days after 13 March 2023.
The Company’s Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to its outstanding Class B common stock issued prior to the Company’s IPO. There will be no redemption rights or liquidation distributions in respect of the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless.
