Introductory Statement

Silver Spike Sponsor, LLC was initially eligible to report its beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock (as defined below) on Schedule 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-1(d) of the Act. The Reporting Persons (as defined below) are jointly filing this Schedule 13D because the Reporting Persons have acquired beneficial ownership of more than 2% of the subject class of securities during the preceding twelve months.

This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of WM Technology, Inc. (f/k/a Silver Spike Acquisition Corp.), a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 41 Discovery, Irving, California 92618.

In connection with its domestication as a Delaware corporation on June 15, 2021 and its acquisition of WM Holding Company, LLC on June 16, 2021 (the “Business Combination”), the Issuer changed its name from Silver Spike Acquisition Corp. (“Silver Spike”) to WM Technology, Inc. Prior to its domestication as a Delaware corporation, the Issuer was organized as a Cayman Islands exempted company, with a capital structure including Class A and Class B ordinary shares. Upon the domestication of the Issuer, these ordinary shares were automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. For ease of reference, in this Schedule 13D the shares of the Issuer both pre-domestication and post-domestication are referred to as shares of common stock.

(a) This statement is filed by (i) Silver Spike Holdings, LP (“Silver Spike Holdings”), (ii) Silver Spike Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and (iii) Silver Spike Opportunities I, LLC (“Silver Spike Opportunities”) (each, a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

(b) The business address of each of Silver Spike Holdings and Silver Spike Opportunities is 660 Madison Avenue, Floor 17, New York, New York 10065. The business address of the Sponsor is 660 Madison Avenue, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10065.

(c) Silver Spike Holdings is a Delaware limited partnership. Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company. Silver Spike Opportunities is a Delaware limited liability company.

(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) Silver Spike Holdings is a Delaware limited partnership. Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company. Silver Spike Opportunities is a Delaware limited liability company.

The information set forth in Item 4 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3, as applicable. The source of funds for acquiring the securities described herein was capital raised by of the Sponsor and Silver Spike Opportunities.

Background

The Issuer was formed as a blank check company incorporated for the purposes of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

Business Combination

On December 10, 2020, the Issuer entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with Silver Spike Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Silver Spike (“Merger Sub”), WM Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WMH”), and Ghost Media Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the initial holder representative, pursuant to which, on June 16, 2021, Merger Sub merged with and into WMH, whereupon the separate limited liability company existence of Merger Sub ceased and WMH became the surviving company and continued in existence as a subsidiary of the Issuer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement resulted in a “Business Combination” involving the Issuer for purposes of the Issuer’s Amended & Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

Consideration to Silver Spike’s Shareholders and Warrant Holders in the Business Combination

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Issuer changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and domesticating and continuing as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). Upon the Domestication, each of the Issuer’s then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares automatically converted by operation of law into one share of Class A common stock of the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”). Similarly, all of the Issuer’s outstanding warrants became warrants to acquire shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer. In connection with the Domestication, the Issuer was renamed WM Technology, Inc.

Subscription Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) pursuant to which certain investors, including Silver Spike Opportunities (the “Subscription Parties”), agreed to purchase an aggregate of 32,500,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share of Class A common stock in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination.

The Subscription Agreement with Silver Spike Opportunities (the “Silver Spike Opportunities Subscription Agreement”) provided for the purchase by Silver Spike Opportunities of 3,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, for aggregate consideration of $35,000,000.

The foregoing description of the Silver Spike Opportunities Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Silver Spike Opportunities Subscription Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Working Capital Promissory Note

On February 18, 2021, the Issuer issued a $750,000 Promissory Note (the “Working Capital Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, in exchange for $750,000 of financing to be used for the payment of working capital expenses, including expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination.

The foregoing description of the Working Capital Promissory Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Promissory Note which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Securities Subscription Agreement

On June 11, 2019, pursuant to a securities subscription agreement (the “Securities Subscription Agreement”) the Issuer issued 7,187,500 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000. This number included 937,500 Founder Shares that were subsequently forfeited due to the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the Issuer’s IPO not being exercised.

The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement is not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 3 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.

Letter Agreement

On August 7, 2019, the Sponsor agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement with the Issuer (the “Letter Agreement”), not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares (the “Founder Share Lock-Up”) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of an initial business combination and (B) the date following the completion of a business combination on which the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Issuer’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, subsequent to a business combination, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Issuer’s initial business combination, the Founder Shares shall be released from the Founder Shares Lock-up.

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Letter Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

On August 7, 2019, the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer granted Sponsor certain registration rights in respect of the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Common Stock underlying the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants. The Registration Rights Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety on June 16, 2021 to grant registration rights to certain other holders of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Issuer has also granted certain registration rights in respect of the Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Issuer register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a business combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Issuer will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement and the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement which are attached hereto as Exhibits 5(a) and (b), respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Closing of the Business Combination

On June 16, 2021, at the closing of the Business Combination:
