Fintech Ecosystem Development Corp. Announces Adjournment of Special Meeting of Stockholders

COLLEGEVILLE, PA / ACCESSWIRE / April 11, 2023 / Fintech Ecosystem Development Corp. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:FEXD), announced today that it intends to adjourn, without conducting any business, the Company's special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") originally scheduled to be held on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, and to reconvene the Special Meeting at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on Thursday, April 20, 2023. In connection with the adjournment of the Special Meeting, the Company is extending the deadline for holders of its shares of Class A common stock to exercise their right to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Company's trust account, or to withdraw any previously delivered demand for redemption, to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on April 18, 2023 (two business days before the adjourned Special Meeting).

The Special Meeting is being held to vote on the proposal (the "Extension Proposal") described in the Company's definitive proxy statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 14, 2023 (the "Extension Proxy Statement"), relating to its proposed extension of the deadline to complete its initial business combination (the "Extension"). The Special Meeting is being adjourned for the purpose of the Company amending the terms of the Extension Proposal.

In the event the Extension Proposal (as set forth in the Extension Proxy Statement) was adopted, the Company's sponsor, Revofast LLC (the "Sponsor") would have agreed to, or to cause a designee to, make a loan of an aggregate of $0.055 for each public share that is not redeemed, for each one-month Extension Period (commencing on April 21, 2023, and on the 21st day of each subsequent month (or the next business day, if the 21st day of a calendar month falls on a day other than a business day)), until April 21, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company's board of directors.

The additional contribution that will instead be required to be deposited into the Company's trust account in connection with any Extension, has been amended from $0.055 for each public share that is not redeemed to the lesser of $0.055 for each public share that is not redeemed and an aggregate of $110,000. As a result of this change, stockholders redeeming their shares after the Extension may receive an amount per share that is less than they would have otherwise received under the original Extension Proposal (as set forth in the Extension Proxy Statement).

Accordingly, if the Extension is approved at the adjourned Special Meeting on April 20, 2023, the Company's sponsor, Revofast LLC, or one or more of its sponsor's affiliates, members or third-party designees, will, or will cause a designee to, instead loan to the Company, pursuant to a promissory note an aggregate of the lesser of (x) $110,000 or (y) $0.055 for each public share that is not redeemed, for each of up to twelve one-month extensions (commencing on April 21, 2023, and on the 21st day of each subsequent month (or the next business day, if the 21st day of a calendar month falls on a day other than a business day)), until April 21, 2024, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete the Company's initial business combination. Each such loan will be deposited in the trust account on or prior to the commencement of the applicable one-month Extension period. Accordingly, the amount deposited will depend on the number of public shares that remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with the Extension.

Exhibit A to this press release sets forth the revised amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation that the Company's stockholders will be asked to vote on at the date of the adjourned Special Meeting (changes to the amendment that was set forth in the Extension Proxy Statement are bold and underlined).
