Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

As previously disclosed on July 27, 2016, CardConnect Corp. (f/k/a FinTech Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with each of FTVENTURES III, L.P., FTVENTURES III-N, L.P. and FTVENTURES III-T, L.P., each a stockholder of the Company, certain other stockholders of the Company and an affiliate of Betsy Cohen, who is a director of the Company (collectively the “Investors”). On July 29, 2016, the Company issued and sold 467,647 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreements for an aggregate purchase price of $4,700,000 (the “Offering”). Of the Shares sold in the Offering, 350,000 shares were sold at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, and the remaining 117,647 shares, which were sold to the affiliate of Mrs. Cohen, were sold at a purchase price of $10.20 per share, the most recent closing bid price of the Common Stock, as required by applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules. The Shares were sold to the Investors in a private transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The closing of the Offering occurred immediately prior to the closing of the merger of FTS Holding Corporation (“Target”) with and into FinTech Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Merger”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 7, 2016, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”). The Company used the proceeds from the Offering to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the Merger, repay Target’s existing debt in connection with the Merger, pay transaction expenses relating to the Merger and redeem shares of Common Stock in connection with the Merger pursuant to the Company’s charter.

 

All of the shares purchased by the Investors are subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the letter agreement entered into in connection with the Merger (the “Letter Agreement”), which provides that (i) the stockholders of the Company party thereto will not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock for a period of 180 days following the consummation of the Merger, subject to certain exceptions, and (ii) certain stockholders of the Company waive their registration rights under their existing registration rights agreement with the Company dated February 12, 2015.

 

All shares purchased by the Investors, other than shares held by the affiliate of Betsy Cohen, are entitled to registration rights with respect to all Shares purchased in the Offering pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the Merger.
