FNTE Fintech Acquisition Corp. Ii (delisted)

FinTech Acquisition Corp. II (NASDAQ:FNTE) ("FNTE") today announced that it completed the previously announced merger transaction with Intermex Holdings II, Inc. (the “Merger”), the parent company of Intermex® Wire Transfer, LLC, a technology enabled wire transfer and financial processing solutions provider. The transaction was approved by a vote of FNTE’s stockholders on July 20, 2018. FNTE’s Board of Directors had previously approved the Merger and recommended that FNTE’s stockholders vote in favor of the Merger. Intermex’s Board of Directors and stockholders had also previously approved the Merger.

The merged company will be renamed International Money Express, Inc. and will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Its common stock and warrants will begin trading on July 27, 2018 on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbols “IMXI” and “IMXIW,” respectively.

Bob Lisy, President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated “We are extremely excited to be a public company. This merger creates additional opportunities for continued growth through our core business as well as new products and acquisitions. We expect our retail agent network in the US to continue to deliver exceptional growth, augmented by the further development of our online services, loyalty cards and scalable proprietary processing capacity. Following our strong performance through the second quarter, we are pleased to increase our Adjusted EBITDA projections to a range of $42 million to $44 million for 2018.”

Betsy Cohen, previously the chairman of the board of FNTE, commented, “We are delighted to partner with Bob and his team at Intermex, a leading provider of money transfer services to the Latin America corridor.  The Intermex team has driven both growth and profitability, with remittance transaction growth of 71% from 2015 to 2017, and delivered compounded annual growth of Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 38.5% from 2013 to 2017.  As a public company, Intermex has the ability to reduce its cost of capital, create a currency for acquisitions, and increase visibility with customers and agents.”

Mr. Lisy leads an experienced Intermex management team, many of whom have extensive backgrounds in the remittance industry, including Randy Nilsen, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Jose Perez-Villarreal, Chief Administrative and Compliance Officer, Eduardo Azcarate, Chief Business Development Officer, William Velez, Chief Information Officer and Tony Lauro II, Chief Financial Officer, who recently joined the company from Cognical, Inc. and was previously Chief Financial Officer of the Merchant Services division of JP Morgan Chase.
