| Item 4. | Purpose of the Transaction |
In connection with the organization of the Issuer, on July 9, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 shares of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”) for $25,000, pursuant to a Securities Subscription Agreement, dated July 9, 2020, between the Sponsor and the Issuer (the “Purchase Agreement”), as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference. In July 2020, the Issuer effected a share dividend of 1 share for each Ordinary Share in issue, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 5,750,000 Founder Shares. In September 2020, the Issuer effected a share dividend of 1.5 shares for each Ordinary Share in issue, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 14,375,000 Founder Shares and in October 2020, the Issuer effected a share dividend of 0.1 shares for each Ordinary Share in issue and the Sponsor transferred 2,654,363 Founder Shares to certain initial shareholders (after giving effect to the share dividend), resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 13,158,137 Founder Shares (up to 1,718,452 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised). On October 29, 2020, in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, 781,250 Founder Shares were forfeited by the Sponsor, resulting in the Sponsor owning 12,376,887 Class B Ordinary Shares on such date.
The Class B Ordinary Shares are not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D to reflect that each of the Sponsor, FWD Life and FWD Fuji may be deemed to be under indirect common control by Mr. Li. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of securities that are not deemed to be beneficially owned by them pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.
On October 20, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the Issuer’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Sponsor purchased 6,000,000 warrants (the “Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Placement Warrant, pursuant to a Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, dated October 15, 2020, by and between the Issuer and the Sponsor (the “Subscription Agreement”), as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Each Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Ordinary Share, at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (as described more fully in the Issuer’s Final Prospectus dated October 15, 2020). On October 29, 2020, the Sponsor purchased an additional 449,936 Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in connection with the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.
On October 20, 2020, FWD Life and FWD Fuji purchased 3,000,000 units and 2,000,000 units, respectively, in the Issuer’s IPO for $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share, and one third of one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share, at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (as described more fully in the Issuer’s Final Prospectus dated October 15, 2020).
On September 11, 2023, Daniel Wong transferred 283,005 Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor for no additional consideration pursuant to a letter agreement between Daniel Wong and the Sponsor.
The Ordinary Shares owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of the Ordinary Shares from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the Ordinary Shares held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors. However, certain of such shares are subject to certain lock-up restrictions as further described in Item 6 below.
On May 25, 2023, the Issuer entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with MoneyHero Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“PubCo”), Gemini Merger Sub 1 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 1”), Gemini Merger Sub 2 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo and CompareAsia Group Capital Limited (“CGCL”), a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing thereunder, the Issuer will be merged with and into Merger Sub 1, with Merger Sub 1 being the surviving entity upon closing. Accordingly, upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the separate corporate existence of the Issuer shall cease, and the Issuer’s Class A Ordinary Shares, units and warrants will cease to be listed on the Nasdaq, and the registration of all such Class A Ordinary Shares, units and warrants of the Issuer shall subsequently terminate. Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Pubco is expected to begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “MNY” and “MNYWW.”
Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (c) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

In connection with the organization of the Issuer, on July 9, 2020, 2,875,000 Founder Shares were purchased by the Sponsor for the amount of $25,000, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provided that up to 375,000 Founder Shares purchased by the Sponsor were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriter of the IPO did not exercise its overallotment option in full. In July 2020, the Issuer effected a share dividend of 1 share for each Ordinary Share in issue, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 5,750,000 Founder Shares. In September 2020, the Issuer effected a share dividend of 1.5 shares for each Ordinary Share in issue, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 14,375,000 Founder Shares and in October 2020, the Issuer effected a share dividend of 0.1 shares for each Ordinary Share in issue and the Sponsor transferred 2,654,363 Founder Shares to certain initial shareholders (after giving effect to the share dividend), resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 13,158,137 Founder Shares (up to 1,718,452 shares of which are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised). On October 29, 2020, in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, 781,250 Founder Shares were forfeited and the remaining Found Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The description of the Securities Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by the Issuer with the SEC on September 23, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.1).
Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement between the Issuer and Sponsor
On October 20, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased 6,000,000 Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Placement Warrant pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The Placement Warrants and the securities underlying such Placement Warrants are subject to a lock up provision in the Subscription Agreement, which provides that such securities shall not be transferable, saleable or assignable until 30 days after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in the Insider Letter. On October 29, 2020, the Sponsor purchased an additional 449,936 Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in connection with the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.
The description of the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.4 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on October 20, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.2).
Insider Letter
On October 15, 2020, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement (the “Insider Letter”). Pursuant to the Insider Letter, the Sponsor agreed (A) to vote its Founder Shares and any public shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose an amendment to the Issuer’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would modify the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to redeem the public shares if the Issuer does not consummate a business combination within 24 months from the completion of the initial public offering or any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Issuer provides the holders of public shares with the opportunity to redeem such shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Issuer’s trust account set up in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”), (C) not to redeem any Founder Shares into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Issuer’s proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Issuer’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that the Founder Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. The Sponsor also agreed that in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account of the Issuer (as defined in the Insider Letter), it will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever which the Issuer may become subject as a result of any claim by any vendor or other person who is owed money by the Issuer for services rendered or products sold to or contracted for the Issuer, or by any target business with which the Issuer has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account; provided that such indemnity shall not apply if such vendor or prospective target business executes an agreement waiving any claims against the Trust Account. On May 25, 2023, the Insider Letter was amended to reduce the lock-up period applicable to shares issued by PubCo from one year to six months.
The description of the Insider Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on October 20, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.3) and the amendment to such Insider Letter, dated May 25, 2023 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.4).

Registration Rights Agreement
On October 15, 2020, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor was granted certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights, which will be subject to customary conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares offered. The summary of such registration rights agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on October 20, 2020 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.5).
Registration Rights of FWD Entities
On October 20, 2020, FWD Life and FWD Fuji purchased 3,000,000 units and 2,000,000 units in the Issuer’s IPO, respectively, for $10.00 per unit.

The Issuer will file a registration statement following the IPO to register the resale of the units (including the Class A Ordinary Shares and warrants included in the units) purchased by FWD in this offering. FWD will not be subject to any lock-up period with respect to any units it purchased. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Letter Agreement
On September 8, 2023, the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement with Steven Teichman pursuant to which Mr. Teichman agreed to transfer 594,946 Class B Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor, following the closing of the Issuer’s Business Combination with MoneyHero Limited at the sole discretion of the Sponsor.
Sponsor Support and Lock-Up Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Issuer, the Sponsor, PubCo and CGCL entered into a sponsor support agreement and deed (the “Sponsor Support and Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to, among other things: (i) appear for purposes of constituting a quorum at the meetings of the shareholders of the Issuer called to seek approval of the consummation of transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the other transaction proposals; (ii) vote to adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement and the other documents contemplated thereby and the transactions contemplated thereby; (iii) to vote against any proposals that would materially impede the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or any other transaction proposal; (iv) not to redeem any of its Ordinary Shares; (v) not to sell or transfer any of its Ordinary Shares prior to the closing of the Business Combination; (vi) to waive its dissenters’ rights pursuant to the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) (the “Cayman Companies Act”) with respect to all of its Ordinary Shares in connection with the Issuer’s merger with and into Merger Sub 1, with Merger Sub 1 being the surviving entity and remaining a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Initial Merger”), to the extent applicable; and (vii) a lock-up of the PubCo ordinary shares and PubCo warrants it will receive pursuant to the Initial Merger (subject to certain exceptions) for a period of six months following the merger between CGCL and Gemini Merger Sub 2 Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, with CGCL being the surviving company (the “Acquisition Closing”). Pursuant to the Sponsor Support and Lock-Up Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed to subject 2,000,000 of the PubCo class B ordinary shares (“PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares”) it receives pursuant to the Business Combination to potential forfeiture, with such potential forfeiture lapsing if the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of PubCo’s class A ordinary shares (“PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares”) on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th or 10th anniversary of the Acquisition Closing equals or exceeds $10.00 per share, determined in accordance with the Sponsor Support and Lock-Up Agreement. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support and Lock-Up Agreement and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, that (i) the Sponsor holds a sufficient number of PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares following the implementation of the arrangements set forth in the Non-Redemption Deeds (defined below); and (ii) the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares is in excess of $11.00 per share at a date to be determined in accordance with the Sponsor Support and Lock-up Agreement, the Sponsor has also agreed to forfeit for nil consideration a certain number of PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares to PubCo, determined in accordance with certain formulas set forth in the Sponsor Support and Lock-Up Agreement, and following any such forfeiture, PubCo has an obligation to issue a corresponding number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, if any, to certain former equity holders of the CGCL.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor entered into a deed of irrevocable undertakings in favor of each of FWD Life and FWD Fuji (collectively, the “FWD Parties”), (collectively, the “Non-Redemption Deeds”) pursuant to which, among other things, in exchange for such FWD Party (i) not exercising its redemption rights with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares held by it, (ii) voting in favor of the Business Combination, (iii) not selling or transferring any of the Class A Ordinary Shares held by it prior to the closing of the Initial Merger, and (iv) not exercising its dissenters’ rights pursuant to the Cayman Companies Act in connection with the Initial Merger, Sponsor has undertaken to pay to such FWD Party an amount in cash sufficient to assure each FWD Party of an annual return of 5.0% on the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares held by such FWD Party and to compensate such FWD Party for any loss realized by it if it sells any PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares at a price per PubCo Class A Ordinary Share of less than $10.00, in each case for a period of five years from the date of the Acquisition Closing, subject to certain caps and other exceptions set forth in the Non-Redemption Deeds. Such cash payments to the FWD Parties will be funded through the Sponsor selling PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, including PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares, held by the Sponsor, except that the Sponsor shall have the right to purchase all of the remaining PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares held by the FWD Parties as of the end of the five-year period pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Non-Redemption Deeds, and if the Sponsor exercises such right, the Non-Redemption Deeds do not require the Sponsor to sell PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to fund such purchase of the remaining PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares held by the FWD Parties as of the end of the five-year period. The Sponsor has agreed to a lock-up of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares to be received by it in the Business Combination in connection with its obligations under the Non-Redemption Deeds, subject to compliance by the FWD parties with the conditions specified in the Non-Redemption Deeds.
The foregoing description of the Non-Redemption Deeds is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Non-Redemption Deeds, copies of which were filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.7 and Exhibit 10.8 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on May 25, 2023 (and are incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.9 and Exhibit 10.10).
