Update on Redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares
Redemption Price
Further to its announcement on 20 November 2023, Financials
Acquisition Corp (LSE: FINS) (the "Company") has continued to work
with Interpath (Cayman) Limited ("Interpath") as an independent
advisor to supervise the allocation of payments to creditors and
the redemption of class A ordinary shares in the Company (the
"Class A Ordinary Shares").
In accordance with that process, and taking into account
submissions by creditors filed following the announcement on 20
November 2023, the Company has calculated the redemption price at
GBP9.50 per Class A Ordinary Share (the "Redemption Price"), being
the amount on deposit in the Company's escrow account as at 15
December 2023, including interest earned on the funds therein and
not previously released to the Company (less any taxes payable, an
amount to pay dissolution expenses, and subject to obligations to
provide for amounts to be paid to creditors and other requirements
of applicable law), divided by the number of Class A Ordinary
Shares then outstanding but excluding any Class A Ordinary Shares
for which redemption rights have been waived.
Upon payment of the Redemption Price, the redemption will
extinguish the rights of holders of Class A Ordinary Shares as
shareholders of the Company, including the right to receive further
liquidation distributions, if any, unless otherwise determined by
the Company and/or any duly-appointed liquidators in due
course.
Whilst the Company has used its best efforts to determine the
Redemption Price, such Redemption Price may be subject to change,
including in circumstances where the Company becomes aware of any
further creditor claims.
