Explanatory Note

 

On July 29, 2020, Netfin Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Netfin”), MVR Netfin LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, as the representative of Netfin as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below) and immediately prior to the closing, (the “Netfin Representative”), the Company, Netfin Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Netfin Merger Sub”), SSOL and IKON (together with SSOL, the “Sellers”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement: (1) the Sellers agreed to sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Company all of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Triterras owned by the Sellers in exchange for an aggregate of $60,000,000 in cash, 51,622,419 ordinary shares of the Company, and up to an additional 15,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company upon the Company meeting certain financial or share price thresholds; and (2) Netfin Merger Sub, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company, would merge with and into Netfin, with Netfin being the surviving corporation in the merger and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company following the merger (the transactions described above, collectively, the “Business Combination”).

The Business Combination was accounted for as a continuation of Triterras Fintech Pte. Ltd (“Fintech”) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). Under this method of accounting, while the Company is the legal acquirer of both Netfin and Fintech, Fintech has been identified as the accounting acquirer of Netfin for accounting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the following factors: (i) Fintech’s existing operations comprise the only ongoing operations of the Company, (ii) Fintech’s senior management comprise the senior management of the Company, and (iii) the former owners and management of Fintech have control of the board of directors of the Company by virtue of being able to appoint a majority of the directors of the Company. In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, for accounting purposes the Business Combination is being treated as the equivalent of Fintech issuing shares for the net assets of Netfin, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Netfin will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations reported on for periods prior to the Business Combination will be those of Fintech.

 

Certain amounts that appear in this Shell Company Report may not sum due to rounding.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

 

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a continuation of Fintech in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Under this method of accounting, while the Company is the legal acquirer of both Netfin and Fintech, Fintech has been identified as the accounting acquirer of Netfin for accounting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Fintech comprising the ongoing operations of the Company, Fintech senior management comprising the senior management of the Company, and the former owners and management of Fintech having control of the board of directors following the consummation of the transaction by virtue of being able to appoint a majority of the directors of the Company. As Netfin does not meet the definition of a business as defined in IFRS 3 — Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), the acquisition is not within the scope of IFRS 3 and is accounted for as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with IFRS 2 — Share-based Payments (“IFRS 2”). Hence, the transaction will be accounted for as the continuance of Fintech with recognition of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of Netfin at fair value. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Fintech from an accounting point of view.

 

Under IFRS 2, the Business Combination is measured at the fair value of the Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued by Triterras for the ownership interest in the Company as if the transaction had taken the legal form of Triterras acquiring 100% of Netfin and issuing its own equity in such transaction. The difference between the fair value of the Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued by Triterras and the fair value of Netfin’s identifiable net assets acquired represents a transaction cost and will be expensed as a charge to income.

Other factors were considered, including composition of management, purpose and intent of the Business Combination and the location of the combined company’s headquarters, noting that the preponderance of evidence as described above is indicative that Triterras is the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination.

 

No goodwill or other intangible assets was recorded by Triterras in connection with the acquisition. In the accompanying pro forma information, the net assets of Netfin were recognized at fair value (which was consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. All direct costs of the Business Combination were expensed.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 has been prepared assuming the Business Combination and related transactions closed on as of January 1, 2019.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 assumes that the Business Combination closed on December 31, 2019.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using and should be read in conjunction with:

 

Fintech’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended, February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, incorporated by reference into this Shell Company Report;

 

Netfin’s audited financial statements as of and for the period from April 24, 2019 (“Inception”) through, December 31, 2019, incorporated by reference into this Shell Company Report;

 

the sections entitled “Fintech’s Operating and Financial Review” incorporated by reference into this Shell Company Report.

 

As Netfin is the accounting acquiree and Triterras prepares its financial statement in accordance with IFRS, the historical financial information of Netfin has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between US GAAP and IFRS as issued by the IASB for the purposes of the combined unaudited pro forma financial information. No adjustments were required to convert Netfin financial statements from US GAAP to IFRS for purposes of the combined unaudited pro forma financial information, except to classify Netfin ordinary shares subject to redemption as non-current liabilities under IFRS. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company after giving effect to the Business Combination.

 

The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Business Combination, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company.

 

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

 

Triterras and Fintech prepare their financial statements on the basis of a fiscal year ending on the last day in February of each year. The financial statements of Netfin have historically been prepared on a basis of a fiscal year ending December 31. In accordance with applicable SEC rules, if only one of the entities involved in a transaction for which pro forma financial statements are prepared is an SEC reporting company then that entity’s fiscal year end is used to determine the periods presented in the pro forma financial statements. If the non-SEC reporting entity’s fiscal year end differs from the reporting entity’s fiscal year end by more than 93 days, the income statement for a twelve-month period ending within 93 days of the reporting entity’s fiscal year end must be used.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

1.Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming Netfin is the acquired company and Triterras is the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. The net assets of Netfin were recognized at fair value (which was consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. All direct costs of the Business Combination will be expensed.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 assumes that the Business Combination closed on December 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income was prepared assuming the Business Combination closed on January 1, 2019.

 

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated.

 

9

 

 

Therefore, it is likely that actual experience will differ from the assumptions and pro forma adjustments and it is possible the differences will be material. The Company believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the consummation of the Business Combination, based on information available to management at the time of preparation of this pro forma financial information and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination closed on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company. They should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of each of Netfin and Triterras incorporated by reference into this Shell Company Report.

 

2.Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination. It has been prepared for informational purposes only and is subject to a number of uncertainties and assumptions as described in these accompanying notes.

 

The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Business Combination, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the Company.

 

Management has made significant assumptions and preliminary estimates in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these assumptions and preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or other cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

 

The historical financial information of Netfin has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between US GAAP and IFRS as issued by the IASB for the purposes of the combined unaudited pro forma financial information. No adjustments were required to convert Netfin financial statements from US GAAP to IFRS for purposes of the combined unaudited pro forma financial information, except to classify Netfin’s ordinary shares subject to redemption as non-current liabilities under IFRS. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company after giving effect to the Business Combination.

 

Triterras and Netfin did not have any pre-existing relationship or other intercompany transactions, accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

The pro forma basic and diluted loss per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and comprehensive (loss) income are based upon the number of the Ordinary Shares that would have been outstanding assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2019.

 

3.Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 gives effect to the Business Combination as if it was completed on December 31, 2019.

  

1.The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

a.To reclassify US$241.5 million of Class A Shares subject to possible redemption as a long-term liability under IFRS.

 

b.To reclassify cash and marketable securities held in the Netfin trust account of US$255.1 million to Cash that became available upon closing of the Business Combination.

 

  c. To record actual redemptions of $7.5 million and to reclass common stock subject to redemptions of $234.1 million to additional paid in capital.

 

10

 

 

2.Represents the actual transfer of common stock subject to possible redemptions to permanent equity. 732,550 Netfin Class A ordinary shares were redeemed at a price of $10.17 for total redemptions of approximately US$7.4 million.

 

a.To reflect payment of the estimated US$20.7 million of transaction expenses incurred, of which US$8.9 million were deferred underwriters’ fees related to Netfin’s initial public offering payable at the consummation of the Business Combination. The remaining US$11.8 million of transaction expenses, which are nonrecurring, were expensed.

 

b.To record the fair value of share consideration of US$369.4 million and a US$130.3 million excess of the fair value of the shares issued by the Company over the value of the net monetary assets acquired in the Business Combination. Under IFRS 2, this amount is recognized as a loss on the income statement. Additionally, to eliminate Netfin’s retained earnings (which is inclusive of historical retained earnings), additional paid-in capital, and common stock subject to possible redemption to permanent equity after reduction for US$7.5 million in redemptions.

 

The detail calculations of the above amounts are as follows (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

 

   Per Share
Value *
   Shares   Fair Value 
Class A  $10.50    6,260   $65,730 
Class B  $12.00    681    8,172 
Redemptions  $12.00    (733)   (8,791)
Public  $12.00    25,300    303,600 
Other  $10.50    65    683 
         31,573    369,394 
Book value             239,064 
Excess of fair value over book value            $130,330 

 

* Closing prices as of November 9, 2020 for Netfin common stock (NFIN) and Netfin common stock units (NFINU) was $10.50 and $12.00 per share, respectively.

 

4.Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income for the Year Ended December 31, 2019

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 gives effect to the Business Combination as if it has completed on January 1, 2019, with adjustments for subsequent events. Netfin’s statement of operations information was derived from Netfin’s unaudited condensed statements of operations for the period from April 24, 2019 (Inception) through December 31, 2019. Triterras’ statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income information was derived from Triterras’ unaudited combined statements of profit and loss for the year ended February 29, 2020.

 

(1)The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

a.To eliminate interest income of US$1.9 million earned on amounts in Netfin’s trust account for the period.

 

b.To eliminate unrealized gains on marketable securities of US$0.2 million held in trust account for the period.

 

11

 

 

(2)As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share assumes that the total amount of shares outstanding after the effect of the Business Combination, which amounts to a total of 83,195,869 shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented.

 

5.Income (Loss) per Share

 

Represents the net earnings (loss) per share calculated using the historical weighted average ordinary shares of Netfin and the issuance of all the Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the Ordinary Shares were outstanding since January 1, 2019. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share assumes that the Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. This calculation was retroactively adjusted to eliminate the 732,550 Netfin Class A ordinary shares which were redeemed immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination for the entire period.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is as follow:

 

in thousands, except share and per share data    
Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income – Year Ended December 31, 2019

The Company is required to, within 90 days of the Closing Date, file a registration statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities. Additionally, the Holders may demand an underwritten offering of their Registrable Securities if the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering have a value of more than $10 million. However, the Company will not be obligated to effect more than three underwritten offerings in any calendar year or two in any rolling-six-month period. Holders also have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. The foregoing description of the RRA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the RRA, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Lock-up Agreement

 

On the Closing Date, we entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with Netfin, MVR Netfin LLC, SSOL and IKON (SSOL and IKON together, the “Sellers”) pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to not transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of our Ordinary Shares, including shares receivable upon exercise of Warrants, they received in the Business Combination prior to (i) three months after the Closing Date with respect to 10% of their Ordinary Shares and (ii) six months after the Closing Date with respect to the remaining 90% of their Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein.

 

The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lock-Up Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3 and is incorporated by reference herein.

H.Documents on Display

 

We are subject to certain of the informational filing requirements of the Exchange Act. Since we are a “foreign private issuer,” we are exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to their purchase and sale of our equity securities. In addition, we are not required to file reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we are required to file with the SEC an Annual Report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent accounting firm. We will also furnish to the SEC, on Form 6-K, unaudited financial information with respect to our first two fiscal quarters. Information filed with or furnished to the SEC by us will be available on our website. The SEC also maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports and other information that we file with or furnish electronically with the SEC.
