As

promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to FinTech Masala, LLC (the
“Lender”), an affiliate of the Company’s sponsors, FinTech Investor
Holdings V, LLC and FinTech Masala Advisors V, LLC. All or a
portion of the amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note were
convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option
of the Lender. On October 26, 2021, the Company and the Lender
amended the Promissory Note to remove the conversion feature. All
other terms of the Promissory Note remain in full force and

Cautionary Statements
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the
United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by
the use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,”
“estimates,” “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “seeks,” or other
similar expressions. These statements are based on current
expectations on the date of this Form 8-K and involve a
number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to
differ significantly. These risks include the risk factors set
forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year
ended December 31, 2020 and in the Registration Statement on Form
F-4 filed by eToro Group Ltd. (“eToro”) and other documents should
be carefully considered, if and when filed by eToro or the Company
from time to time with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize
or these assumptions prove incorrect, actual events and results
could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking
statements. There may be additional risks that neither eToro nor
the Company presently know or that eToro and the Company currently
believe are immaterial that could also cause actual events and
results to differ. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect
eToro’s and the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of
future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on
Form 8-K. eToro and the Company anticipate that subsequent events
and developments will cause eToro’s and the Company’s assessments
to change. While eToro and the Company may elect to update these
forward-looking statements at some point in the future, eToro and
the Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, unless
required by applicable law.
The
Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise any such
forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new
developments or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to put undue
reliance on forward-looking statements.
Additional Information About the Transactions and Where to Find
It
On
March 16, 2021, the Company and eToro entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among eToro, Buttonwood
Merger Sub Corp., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of eToro
(“Merger Sub”), and the Company, which provides for, among other
things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the
“Merger”), with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of eToro (the “Business Combination”). eToro has filed a
registration statement on Form F-4 with the SEC, which includes a
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus to be distributed to the
Company’s stockholders in connection with its solicitation of
proxies for the vote by the Company’s stockholders with respect to
the Business Combination. After the registration statement has been
declared effective, the Company will mail a definitive proxy
statement/prospectus to its stockholders as of the record date
established for voting on the Business Combination and the other
proposals regarding the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement as set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus. eToro or
the Company may also file other documents with the SEC regarding
the Business Combination.
Participants in Solicitation
eToro
and the Company and their respective directors and executive
officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of
proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the
Business Combination under the rules of the SEC. The Company’s
stockholders, eToro’s shareholders and other interested persons may
obtain, without charge, more detailed information regarding the
names, affiliations and interests of directors and executive
officers of eToro and the Company in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 or eToro’s
Registration Statement on Form F-4, as applicable, as well as their
other filings with the SEC. Other information regarding persons who
may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed the participants in the
proxy solicitation of the Company’s stockholders in connection with
the Business Combination and a description of their direct and
indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, is included
in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and will be contained
in other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC regarding the
Business Combination (if and when they become available). Free
copies of these documents can be obtained at the SEC’s website at
www.sec.gov.
