Fintech II Completes Merger with InterMex: To Be Renamed International Money Express, Inc.
Fintech Acquisition Corp. II, has released the results of its shareholder vote to approve FNTE’s previously announced merger transaction with Intermex Holdings II, Inc., a portfolio company of Stella Point Capital, LP. The merged company will be renamed International Money Express, Inc. and is expected to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Total shares of common stock exercising redemption rights were 5,038,232. The release did not give a pro rata per share amount for redemptions, but as of the most recent proxy filing estimate of $10.05, I would peg the total amount coming out of trust at roughly $51 million. Additionally, $175.8 million was estimated to be held in trust, so that still leaves the company with approximately $125 million before closing fees and expenses (a condition to closing).

Israeli tech firms have made up an outsized proportion of SPAC activity and despite the ongoing tensions in its region, that dealmaking is continuing unabated. In fact, the SPAC named for the particular mission of taking Israeli firms public through SPACs, Israel Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:ISRL) in fact just took one step closer in completing that...
At the SPAC of Dawn Although the market has largely recovered from a negative stretch last week, the roller coaster is tilted back downward for Trump Media (NASDAQ:DJT), which slid -8% yesterday to $32.57 – one of its lowest points since closing with Digital World last month. Other SPACs and de-SPACs are having a more...
Remember the metaverse? Many do not. Meta’s (NASDAQ:META) attempted transition to virtually living and working seemed to mark a trend that went up and down quickly, but one SPAC deal has both survived that roller coaster and may rise with a second. Back in December 2022, Newbury Street (NASDAQ:NBST) announced a $1.85 billion combination with...

With the passage this weekend of $95 billion in funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan by the House of Representatives, some focus has gone back towards the defense sector, which has generally had a good year as a whole. But, SPACs have not been as active in defense, despite the fact that companies in the...
