OppFi to Begin Trading on the NYSE Under Ticker
Symbol “OPFI” on July 21, 2021
Opportunity Financial, LLC (“OppFi”), a leading financial
technology platform that powers banks to help everyday consumers
gain access to credit, and FG New America Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:
FGNA), a special purpose acquisition corporation (“SPAC”),
announced today that they have completed their previously announced
business combination (the “Business Combination”). The Business
Combination was approved by FGNA’s stockholders at its special
meeting held on July 16, 2021, and closed on July 20, 2021.
The company now operates as OppFi, Inc. OppFi’s Class A common
stock and warrants will begin trading on the NYSE under the ticker
symbols “OPFI” and “OPFI WS,” respectively, on Wednesday, July 21,
2021. OppFi will be ringing the closing bell onsite at the New York
Stock Exchange on July 27, 2021 in celebration. FGNA’s public units
separated into their component securities upon consummation of the
Business Combination and, as a result, no longer trade as a
separate security and are being delisted from the NYSE.

Officer, and Shiven Shah, Chief Financial Officer.
Jared Kaplan stated, “We are tremendously proud of the financial
technology platform we have built and our commitment to serving
consumers excluded from the traditional banking system through
fair, transparent products and an extraordinary customer
experience. We are very excited to move into the public markets and
strengthen our position as the financial champion for the nearly
150 million everyday consumers in the United States. We continue to
innovate our array of products, technology and capabilities and
look forward to introducing those to consumers in the years
ahead.”
FGNA Chairman Joe Moglia stated, “We continue to be very

look forward to their ongoing expansion as the company builds out
its digital and data driven platform to reach the millions of
consumers who could benefit from expanded access to financial
