Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed in the Form 12b-25 filed on May 17, 2021 by FinTech Evolution Acquisition Group (the “Company”), on April 12, 2021, the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” (the “Staff Statement”). The Staff Statement, among other things, highlighted the potential accounting implications of certain terms that are common in warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of special purpose acquisition companies such as the Company. As a result of the Staff Statement, the Company required additional time to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”).

On May 25, 2021, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the NYSE Regulation staff of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") stating that the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “Rule”) because it has not timely filed the Form 10-Q with the SEC. The Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Rule, the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting from the NYSE

Under NYSE rules, the Company has six months from the due date of the 10-Q, or until November 24, 2021, to file the Form 10-Q. If the Company fails to file the Form 10-Q by November 24, 2021, it can submit an official request to the NYSE to allow the Company’s securities to continue to trade on the NYSE. If the NYSE accepts the Company's request, then the NYSE may grant an additional six months, or until May 24, 2022, to file the Form 10-Q. However, there can be no assurance that the NYSE will accept the Company's request or that the Company will be able to regain compliance within any extension period granted by the NYSE. The NYSE may commence delisting procedures at any time during the period that is available to the Company to complete the filing, if circumstances warrant.

As noted above, the Company is working diligently to complete its Form 10-Q. The Company intends to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable to regain compliance with NYSE continued listing standards.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 2, 2021 the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
