Item 8.01. Other Events.

On December 8, 2020, FinTech Acquisition Corp. V (the “Company”) consummated the sale of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”) in its initial public offering (the “IPO”). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one third of one warrant (each, a “Warrant”), where each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 23, 2020 (File No. 333-249646). The Units were sold in the IPO at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $250,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses). The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,270,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”); and on December 7, 2020, the Underwriters notified the Company that they were partially exercising the Over-Allotment Option for 3,200,000 Units and waiving the remainder of the Over-Allotment Option. As a result of the Underwriters’ determination not to fully exercise the Over-Allotment Option, certain of the Company’s initial stockholders forfeited an aggregate of 23,333 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. 

On December 8, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the issuance and sale (“Private Placement”) of 640,000 Units (the “Placement Units”) in a private placement transaction at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $6,400,000. The Placement Units were purchased by one of the Company’s sponsors, FinTech Investor Holdings V, LLC.

A total of $250,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (which includes approximately $10.6 million of the Underwriters’ deferred discount) 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.

An audited balance sheet as of December 8, 2020 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
