Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 1, 2023, Fusion Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company,” “Fusion” or “we”) amended and restated the previously issued unsecured amended and restated convertible promissory notes (collectively, the “Convertible Promissory Notes”) to each of (i) Fusion Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”), (ii) John James and (iii) BOKA Founder LP (together with the Sponsor and Mr. James, the “Promissory Note Parties”) to extend the Maturity Date (as defined below) thereunder from March 2, 2023 to March 2, 2024. The Company may borrow under the Convertible Promissory Notes for ongoing expenses reasonably related to the business of the Company and the consummation of the Business Combination, as defined below. All unpaid principal under the Convertible Promissory Notes will be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) March 2, 2024 and (ii) the effective date of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”) (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). The Promissory Note Parties will have the option, at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, to convert up to $1,500,000 outstanding under the Convertible Promissory Notes into warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), at a conversion price of $1.50 per warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to the same adjustments applicable to the private placement warrants sold concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering.
In addition, as previously disclosed, on August 25, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a non-redemption agreement (the “Initial Non-Redemption Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third party investor (the “Initial Investor”), pursuant to which the Initial Investor has, in connection with the Special Meeting (as defined below), agreed not to redeem, or to reverse and revoke any prior redemption election with respect to 220,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”). Pursuant to the Initial Non-Redemption Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to the Investor 55,500 shares of Class A Common Stock that were originally issued to the Sponsor as shares of Class B common stock prior to Fusion’s initial public offering (the "Founder Shares"), in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination. Between August 28, 2023 and August 31, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into further non-redemption agreements (the “Additional Non-Redemption Agreements”) with additional unaffiliated third party investors (the “Additional Investors”) pursuant to which the Additional Investors have, in connection with the Special Meeting, agreed not to redeem, or to reverse and revoke any prior redemption election with respect to 2,105,697 Non-Redeemed Shares. Pursuant to the Additional Non-Redemption Agreements, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to the Additional Investors an aggregate of 526,424 Founder Shares. In the aggregate, the Initial Investor and Additional Investors agreed not to redeem, or to reverse and revoke any prior redemption election with respect to 2,105,697 Non-Redeemed Shares.
