Fintech Acquisition Corp. III (FTACU), announced Thursday evening, the pricing of their upsized $300 million SPAC and will begin trading Friday under the symbol Nasdaq: FTACU.
The Fintech team, which has an impressive record with two successful SPACs under their belt, will once again be led by Betsy and Daniel Cohen, as Chairman and CEO, respectively. However, Fintech III will be the first SPAC with a six member Board of Directors made up entirely of women.
Additionally, of the three SPACs expected to price this week (AMCI, Boxwood and Fintech III), Fintech III was the only one to upsize while both AMCI and Boxwood needed to amend their terms, and in Boxwood’s case, also downsize.
Congratulations to all. Nicely done.

Back in December 2022, Newbury Street (NASDAQ:NBST) announced a $1.85 billion combination with...
At the SPAC of Dawn Tucked into the bill that provides $95 billion in funding to American allies passed by the House this weekend is another measure that is likely to have far more impact on at least one pending deal in SPAC world. It would appear that the timing was fortuitous for TikTok rival...
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.
