Explanatory Note
The following constitutes the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Schedule 13D”). This Schedule 13D is being filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) to
report the acquisition of shares of Class A common stock (as defined below) of the Issuer (as defined below) on June 16, 2021 as described in Item 3 below.
| Item 1. |
Security and Issuer
|
| a) |
This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”) of WM Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).
Underlying the shares of Class A common stock reported in this Schedule 13D are shares of Class V common stock and Class A Units. The shares of Class V common stock of the Issuer provide no economic rights in the Issuer to the holder
thereof. However, each holder of Class V common stock will be entitled to vote with the holders of Class A common stock of the Issuer, with each share of Class V common stock entitling the holder to a number of votes equal to the number of
Class A Units (as described below) held by such Class V common stock holder at the time of such vote. The Class A Units represent non-voting limited liability company interests of WM Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company. Pursuant to the terms of an exchange agreement, these Class A units and an equivalent number of shares of Class V common stock are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer. These
