FinTech Acquisition Corp. V and eToro Mutually Agree to Terminate Merger Agreement

NEW YORK, 5 July 2022 – FinTech Acquisition Corp. V (NASDAQ: FTCV) (“FinTech V”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, and eToro Group Ltd (“eToro” or the “Company”), the leading social investing network, announced today that they have mutually agreed to terminate their previously announced agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), effective immediately.

The proposed merger, initially announced in March 2021, was conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including relating to the Company’s registration statement, within the timeframe outlined by the Merger Agreement and as extended by the Merger Agreement Amendment. Despite the parties’ best efforts, such conditions were not satisfied within such time frame and the parties were unable to complete the transaction by the June 30, 2022 deadline.

Betsy Cohen, Chairman of FinTech V commented: “eToro continues to be the leading global social investment platform, with a proven track record of growth and strong momentum. Although we are disappointed that the transaction has been rendered impracticable due to circumstances outside of either party’s control, we wish Yoni and his talented team continued success.”

Yoni Assia, Co-founder and CEO of eToro commented: “We would like to thank Betsy and the entire FinTech V team for their hard work, diligence and support throughout this process. While this may not be the outcome that we hoped for when we started this process, eToro’s underlying business remains healthy, our balance sheet is strong and will continue to balance future growth with profitability. We ended Q2 2022 with approximately 2.7 million funded accounts, an increase of over 12% versus the end of 2021, demonstrating continued customer acquisition and retention rates that have been improving over time. We remain confident in our long-term growth strategy and excited for the future of eToro.”

Neither party will be required to pay the other a termination fee as a result of the mutual decision to terminate the Merger Agreement.

Additional information about the termination of the Merger Agreement will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by FinTech V with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov.
