Re: Initial Public Offering
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter (“Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into, or proposed to be entered into, by and between FinTech Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. (“Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”), as the representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Offering”), of up to 15,525,000 of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-half of a warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock (each, a “Warrant”). The Units sold in the Offering will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Company expects that the Units will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 16 hereof.
The Insiders signatory hereto hereby agree with the Company as follows:
1. Each Insider agrees that, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of (a) a proposed initial Business Combination or (b) a proposed amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as may be amended from time to time, the “Charter”) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the completion of the Offering, then in connection with such proposed initial Business Combination or amendment to the Charter, such person shall vote, as applicable, all Founder Shares, Placement Shares and any shares acquired by such person in the Offering or in the secondary public market in favor of such proposed initial Business Combination or such amendment to the Charter, as applicable.
2. (a) Each Insider hereby agrees that, if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the consummation of the Offering, such person shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Offering Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account less any interest released to, or reserved for use by, the Company for working capital purposes, payment of taxes or dissolution expenses, divided by the number of Offering Shares then outstanding, which redemption will completely extinguish the holder’s rights as a stockholder with respect to his, her or its Offering Shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.
(b) Each Insider agrees to not propose any amendment to the Charter that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the completion of the Offering, unless the Company provides the holders of Offering Shares with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account less any interest released to, or reserved for use by, the Company for working capital purposes or payment of taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares.
(c) Each Insider acknowledges and agrees that Founder Shares or Placement Shares held by him, her or it are not entitled to, and have no right, interest or claim of any kind in or to, any monies held in the Trust Account or distributed as a result of any liquidation of the Trust Account.
(d) Each Insider waives, with respect to any Founder Shares or Placement Shares held by such undersigned party, any redemption rights he, she or it may have (i) in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination, (ii) if the Company fails to consummate its initial Business Combination or liquidates within 24 months from the completion of the Offering or (iii) if the Company seeks an amendment to its Charter that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares as described above. If any of the Insiders should acquire Offering Shares in or after the Offering, each Insider hereby waives with respect to such Offering Shares held by such undersigned party any redemption rights such party may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination or a stockholder vote to amend the Charter to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the completion of the Offering; provided, however, that the Insiders will be entitled to redemption rights with respect to such Offering Shares held by them if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination or liquidates within 24 months from completion of the Offering.
3. (a) To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,025,000 Units (as described in the Prospectus), the Initial Holders shall return to the Company for cancellation, at no cost, an aggregate number of Founder Shares determined by multiplying 658,333 by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which is 2,025,000 minus the number of shares of the Common Stock purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 2,025,000. The Initial Holders further agree that, if the Company effects a stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, contribution back to capital or otherwise in connection with any increase or decrease in the size of the Offering, to the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option in full, the aggregate number of shares that the Initial Holders will be required to return to the Company as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be adjusted so that the Founder Shares held by the Initial Holders and their Permitted Transferees represent 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following such forfeiture. The number of Founder Shares to be returned by each Initial Holder, if any, pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall be determined on a pro-rata basis based on the percentage of outstanding Founder Shares held by each Initial Holder at the time of such forfeiture.
(b) Subject to paragraph 3(d), the Founder Shares owned by the Insiders shall not be transferable or salable (x) with respect to 20% of such shares, until consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (y) with respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds $12.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of its initial Business Combination, (z) with respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds $13.50 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of its initial Business Combination, (xx) with respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of its initial Business Combination and (yy) with respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds $17.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of its initial Business Combination or earlier, in any case, if, following the initial Business Combination, the Company engages in a subsequent transaction (i) resulting in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Common Stock for cash or other securities, or (ii) involving a consolidation, merger or other similar transaction in which the Company is the surviving entity that results in the directors and officers of the Company ceasing to comprise a majority of the Board (in the case of directors) or management (in the case of officers) of the surviving entity (such applicable period being the “Founder Lock-Up Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, the satisfaction of any of the conditions of clauses (z), (xx) and (yy) shall permit the termination of the transfer prohibition with respect to all Founder Shares included within that pricing level or any lower pricing level. During the Founder Lock-Up Period, the Insiders shall not, except as described in the Prospectus, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to the Founder Shares then subject to the Founder Lock-Up Period, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Founder Shares then subject to the Founder Lock-Up Period, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (b)(i) or (b)(ii).
| 2 |
(c) Until 30 days after the consummation of the initial Business Combination (“Placement Unit Lock-Up Period”), the Sponsor shall not, except as described in the Prospectus, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to the Placement Units, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants, or shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Warrants, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Placement Units, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants, or shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Warrants, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (c)(i) or (c)(ii).
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions contained in paragraphs 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, any Insider may transfer, as applicable, the Founder Shares and/or Placement Units, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants, or shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Warrants (1) in connection with an initial Business Combination with the consent of the Company to any third party that agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this agreement applicable to Insiders (other than paragraph 1 and the second sentence of paragraph 2(d)); and (2) (a) to the Company’s officers, the Company’s directors, the Initial Holders, or Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Fitzgerald’s officers, directors, or direct or indirect equityholders, (b) to an affiliate or immediate family member of any of the Company’s officers, directors, Initial Holders, and Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (c) to any member, officer or director of the Sponsor, or any immediate family member, partner, affiliate or employee of a member of the Sponsor, (d) by gift to any Permitted Transferee under any of the immediately preceding subsections (a) through (c), a trust, the beneficiaries of which are one or more Permitted Transferees under any of the immediately preceding subsections (a) through (c), or a charitable organization, (e) by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of any of the Company’s officers, the Company’s directors, the Initial Holders, members of the Sponsor, or any officers, directors, or direct or indirect equityholders of Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (f) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (g) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to consummation of its initial Business Combination, (h) by virtue of the laws of Delaware, the Sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the Sponsor, or the organizational documents of Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ upon dissolution of Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (i) subsequent to the Company’s consummation of its initial Business Combination, in the event of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property or (j) subsequent to the Company’s consummation of its initial Business Combination, in the event of a consolidation, merger or other similar transaction in which the Company is the surviving entity that results in the directors and officers of the Company ceasing to comprise a majority of the Board (in the case of directors) or management (in the case of officers) of the surviving entity (each, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, that, in the case of subclauses (a) through (f) and (h), these transferees enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth herein.
(e) Further, each Insider agrees that after the Founder Lock-Up Period or the Placement Unit Lock-Up Period, as applicable, has elapsed, the Founder Shares and/or Placement Units, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants, or shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Warrants owned by such Insider shall only be transferable or saleable pursuant to a sale registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Company and each Insider acknowledges that pursuant to that certain registration rights agreement to be entered into among the Company and certain security holders of the Company, parties to the agreement may request that a registration statement relating to the Founder Shares and/or Placement Units, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants, or shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Warrants be filed by the Company with the Commission prior to the end of the Founder Lock-Up Period or the Placement Unit Lock-Up Period, as the case may be; provided, however, that such registration statement does not become effective prior to the end of the Founder Lock-Up Period or the Placement Unit Lock-Up Period, as applicable.
| 3 |
(f) Subject to the limitations described herein, each Insider shall retain all of such Insider’s rights as a security holder during, as applicable, the Founder Lock-Up Period and/or Placement Unit Lock-Up Period including, without limitation, the right to vote, as the case may be, the Founder Shares and/or Placement Shares.
(g) During the Founder Lock-Up Period and Placement Unit Lock-Up Period, all dividends payable in cash with respect to such securities shall be paid, as applicable, to each security holder, but all dividends payable in Common Stock or other non-cash property shall become subject to the applicable lock-up period as described herein and shall only be released from such lock-up in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 3.
4. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph 3(d) hereof, during the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, each of the undersigned shall not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to any Units, Placement Units, shares of Common Stock, Warrants, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by an undersigned party, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, Placement Units, shares of Common Stock, Warrants, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by the undersigned, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii); provided, however, that the restrictions of this Section 4 shall not apply to any distributions by the Sponsor to its members of Units, Placement Units, shares of Common Stock, Warrants, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock.
5. (a) In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account without the consummation of a Business Combination, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company or (ii) any prospective target business (a “Target”) as described in the Prospectus; provided, however, that such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.00 (regardless of whether or not the Underwriters exercise any portion of their overallotment option) per Offering Share and only if such third party or Target has not executed an agreement waiving claims against any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, regardless of whether such agreement is enforceable. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third party, the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any liability as a result of any such third party claims. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall not apply as to any claims arising from the Company’s obligation pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement to indemnify the Underwriters.
(b) If the Company is liquidated within 24 months following completion of the Offering, to the extent that interest income on the balance of the Trust Account (net of any taxes payable) released to the Company and loans from the Sponsor (each as described in the Prospectus) are insufficient to fund the costs and expenses of liquidation, the Indemnitor agrees to pay the balance of the amount necessary to complete the liquidation of the Company.
| 4 |
6. The Company agrees that the Company will not engage any third party to render services, agree to purchase any products from such third party, or enter into any discussion or any acquisition agreement with a Target unless (i) such third party or Target has agreed to execute a waiver against any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any proceeds from the Trust Account, that is acceptable to the Board or (ii) the Board and Sponsor have each consented in writing to dispense with such waiver with respect to such services, product, discussions or acquisition agreement, in each case with the written consent of the Indemnitor as part of the consent of the Board. In addition the Company shall endeavor, together with the officers and directors of any acquisition target for its initial Business Combination, to obtain waivers of claims to the monies held in the Trust Account from creditors of such acquisition target (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include creditors existing prior to the initial Business Combination as well as after completion of the initial Business Combination).
7. In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest that may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, each officer and director of the Company who is signatory to this Agreement agrees that until the earliest of the Company’s initial Business Combination, liquidation or the time at which such person ceases to be an officer or director of the Company, such person shall present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable Business Combination opportunities of which such person (or companies or entities which such person manages or controls) becomes aware, subject to any current or future fiduciary or contractual obligations of such person that such person discloses to the Company.

(c) has never been suspended or expelled from membership in any securities or commodities exchange or association or had a securities or commodities license or registration denied, suspended or revoked.
10. Each Insider agrees that he, she or it shall receive no finder’s fees, consulting fees or other similar compensation from the Company prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of the initial Business Combination, other than the following:
(a) repayment of loans made to the Company by the Sponsor prior to completion of the Offering in connection with organizational expenses and the preparation, filing and consummation of the Offering;
(b) repayment of the up to $750,000 in incremental loans that the Sponsor has committed to make to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination; provided, that, if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account may be used by the Company to repay such loaned amounts so long as no proceeds of the Trust Account shall be used for such repayment; and
(c) reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial Business Combination, provided that no proceeds of the Offering placed in the Trust Account may be applied to the payment of such expenses prior to the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

Until the earlier of (i) the entry into a definitive agreement by the Company for a Business Combination; (ii) the liquidation of the Company; (iii) the termination of such person as an officer or director of the Company or (iv) the date that is 24 months after the completion of the IPO, each officer and director of the Company agrees not to become affiliated as an officer or director of a blank check company similar to the Company.
14. Each of the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate any initial Business Combination that involves a company which is affiliated with such undersigned party unless the Company obtains an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and reasonably acceptable to Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that the Business Combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial perspective.
15.
