Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp. II (NYSE:BFT) announced that its shareholders approved its combination with fintech firm Paysafe at a special meeting earlier today.
The parties expect to close the transaction on Tuesday, March 30. The combined entity is then expected to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “PSFE” beginning Wednesday, March 31.
Foley Trasimene II did not disclose redemption figures in its release, but the SPAC was not at risk of redemptions with shares opening ahead of the vote at $14.48. In the current down market for SPACs, this marks the Paysafe deal as one of the most popular recent combinations on the market.
The two sides initially announced their $9 billion deal on December 7. Paysafe provides a global payments platform powering digital wallets that handle a run-rate of about $100 billion in transactions annually.
