Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 12, 2015, the registration statement (File No. 333-200925) for the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of FinTech Acquisition Corp.’s (the “Company”) units (“Units”), each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one warrant (each, a “Warrant”) to purchase one share of Common Stock, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). In connection therewith and with the closing of the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:

●       An Underwriting Agreement, dated February 12, 2015 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Company and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”);

●       An Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated February 12, 2015, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company;

●       A Warrant Agreement, dated February 12, 2015, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company;

●       A Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 12, 2015, between the Company and certain security holders of the Company;

●       A Letter Agreement, dated February 12, 2015, by and among the Company and Cantor;

●       A Letter Agreement, dated February 12, 2015, by and among the Company, its officers and directors and certain of the Company’s security holders; and

●       A Loan Commitment Agreement, dated February 12, 2015, among the Company and FinTech Investor Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”).

A description of the material terms of each of these agreements is included in the Registration Statement and incorporated herein by this reference.

On February 19, 2015, the Company consummated the sale of 10,000,000 Units in its IPO. The IPO Units were sold in the IPO at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $100,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted Cantor a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”).

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the issuance and sale (“Private Placement”) of 300,000 Units (the “Placement Units”) in a private placement transaction at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $3,000,0000. The Placement Units were purchased by Cantor (100,000 Units) and the Sponsor (200,000 Units). The Warrants included in the Placement Units are identical to the Warrants included in the IPO Units except that, so long as they are held by Cantor, the Sponsor or their permitted transferees (a) they are not redeemable by the Company, (b) they (including the underlying Common Stock) may not be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, and (c) they may be exercised on a cashless basis. In addition, for as long as the Placement Warrants are held by Cantor or its designees, they may not be exercised after February 12, 2020.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The disclosure set forth under Item 5.03 is incorporated herein by this reference. 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On February 12, 2015, the Company filed its amended and restated its certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with the IPO. A description of the material terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate is included in the Registration Statement and incorporated herein by this reference. In addition, a copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

A total of $100,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Except for the withdrawal of interest for working capital purposes or to pay taxes (or dissolution expenses if a business combination is not consummated), none of the funds held in the trust account will be released until the earlier of the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or the redemption of all shares of Common Stock issued in the IPO if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the completion of the IPO (excluding any exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option).

A copy of the press release issued by the Company regarding the closing of the IPO is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
