Social Finance Technologies to Trade on Nasdaq as “SOFI”

PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. V (NYSE: IPOE) (“SCH” and, after the Domestication as described below, “SoFi Technologies”) today announced the pending transfer of the listing of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “SCH Class A ordinary shares”) and redeemable warrants (the “SCH warrants”) from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) to the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) in connection with its pending business combination with Social Finance, Inc. (“SoFi”).

Prior to the consummation of the business combination, SCH will domesticate as a Delaware corporation and will change its name to “SoFi Technologies, Inc.” (the “Domestication”). In connection with the Domestication, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding SCH Class A ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of SoFi Technologies (the “SoFi Technologies common stock”); (2) each of the then issued and outstanding SCH warrants will convert automatically into a redeemable warrant to acquire one share of SoFi Technologies common stock (the “SoFi Technologies warrants”); and (3) each of the then issued and outstanding units of SCH that have not been previously separated into the underlying SCH Class A ordinary shares and underlying SCH warrants upon the request of the holder thereof (the “SCH units”), will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of SoFi Technologies common stock and one-fourth of one SoFi Technologies warrant.

Trading is expected to begin on the Nasdaq on June 1, 2021 (assuming SCH’s business combination with SoFi closes on May 28, 2021 as described further below) under the new ticker symbol “SOFI” for the SoFi Technologies common stock and “SOFIW” for the SoFi Technologies warrants. Until the Domestication and exchange listing transfer is complete, the SCH Class A ordinary shares, SCH warrants and SCH units will continue to trade under the ticker symbols “IPOE”, “IPOE.WS” and “IPOE.U”, respectively, on the NYSE.

The last day of trading on the NYSE is expected to be on May 28, 2021, which is the date on which SCH’s business combination with SoFi is currently expected to close, subject to receipt of shareholder approval at SCH’s extraordinary general meeting on May 27, 2021 and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

No action is required by existing SCH shareholders with respect to the ticker symbol or exchange listing change.
