PROSPECTUS

 

 

Pagaya Technologies Ltd.

Consistent with our July 30, 2024 announcement, this prospectus relates to the resale from time to time of up to 504,440 of our Class A Ordinary Shares, no par value, held by the selling shareholders identified in this prospectus, which were issued by us in connection with the acquisition by us of Theorem Technology, Inc. (“Theorem”), announced by us on July 30, 2024, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 27, 2024 by and among us, Pagaya US Holding Company LLC, AMT Merger Sub, Inc., Theorem, Fortis Advisors LLC, Hugh Edmundson and Ryan Podolsky (the “Theorem Merger Agreement”), which closed on October 22, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2024. We are not selling any Class A Ordinary Shares under this prospectus, and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the Class A Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus, nor can we guarantee that any of the Class A Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus will actually be sold. Any Class A Ordinary Shares subject to resale hereunder will have been issued by us and received by the selling shareholders prior to any resale of such shares pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Sales of the Class A Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at privately negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may sell shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders, the purchasers of the Class A Ordinary Shares, or both. Furthermore, the selling shareholders are subject to certain restrictions limiting the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that may be sold hereunder as discussed in greater detail below under the section “Selling Shareholders–Lock-Up Agreements.”

 

We are paying the cost of registering the Class A Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus as well as various related expenses, as described in the section titled “Plan of Distribution.” The selling shareholders are responsible for all selling commissions, transfer taxes and other costs related to the offer and sale of their shares.

 

Our Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants are traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “PGY” and “PGYWW,” respectively. On November 19, 2024, the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares was $8.62, and the closing price of our public warrants was $0.12 per warrant.

Prospectus Summary

 

This summary highlights important features of this offering and the information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our Class A Ordinary Shares. You should carefully read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement before you invest in our Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

Overview

 

Pagaya’s mission is to deliver more financial opportunity to more people, more often. We believe our mission will be accomplished by becoming the trusted lending technology partner for the consumer finance ecosystem, with an expansive product suite (the fee-generating side of our business) fueled by effective and efficient capital and risk management (the capital efficiency side of our business). Both sides of our business working harmoniously to meet the complex needs of the leading financial institutions.

 

We are a product-focused technology company that deploys sophisticated data science and proprietary, AI-powered technology to enable better outcomes for financial institutions, their existing and potential customers, and institutional or sophisticated investors.

 

We have built, and we are continuing to scale, a leading AI and data network for the benefit of financial services and other service providers, their customers, and investors. Services providers integrated in our network, which we refer to as our ‘‘Partners,’’ range from high-growth financial technology companies to incumbent banks and financial institutions. We believe Partners benefit from our network to extend financial products to their customers, in turn helping those customers fulfill their financial needs. These assets originated by Partners with the assistance of Pagaya’s AI technology are eligible to be acquired by: (i) funds managed or advised by Pagaya or one of its affiliates, (ii) securitization vehicles sponsored or administered by Pagaya or one of its affiliates and (iii) other similar vehicles (“Financing Vehicles”).

 

In recent years, investments in digitization have improved the front-end delivery of financial products, upgrading customer experience and convenience. Notwithstanding these advances, we believe underlying approaches to the determination of creditworthiness for financial products are often outdated and overly manual. In our experience, providers of financial services tend to utilize a limited number of factors to make decisions, operate with siloed technology infrastructure and have data limited to their own experience. As a result, we believe financial services providers approve a smaller proportion of their application volume than is possible with the benefit of modern technology, such as our AI technology and data network.

 

At our core, we are a technology company that deploys data science and technology to drive better results across the financial ecosystem. We believe our solution drives a “win-win-win” for Partners, their customers and potential customers, and investors. First, by utilizing our network, Partners are able to approve more customer applications, which we believe drives superior revenue growth, enhanced brand affinity, opportunities to promote other financial products and decreased unit-level customer acquisition costs. Partners realize these benefits with limited incremental risk or funding requirements. Second, Partners’ customers benefit from enhanced and more convenient access to financial products. Third, investors benefit through gaining exposure to these assets originated by Partners with the assistance of our AI technology and acquired by the Financing Vehicles through our network.

 

Theorem Merger

 

On October 22, 2024, we closed the acquisition of Theorem. Our acquisition of Theorem was made pursuant to the Theorem Merger Agreement. Theorem is a Silicon Valley-based institutional asset manager focused exclusively on the consumer credit space, managing assets for global institutional investors since its founding in 2014.

 

Pursuant to the Theorem Merger Agreement, our subsidiary, AMT Merger Sub, Inc., merged with and into Theorem, with Theorem surviving as the wholly owned subsidiary of Pagaya US Holding Company LLC, for cash, the issuance of 504,440 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares and contingent consideration of cash and Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to certain adjustments (the “Theorem Merger”).
