  Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 28, 2020, FTAC Olympus Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated the sale of 75,000,000 units (the “Units”) in its initial public offering (the “IPO”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Warrant”), where each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2020 (File No. 333-241831). The Units were sold in the IPO at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $750,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses). The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 11,250,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

On August 28, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the issuance and sale (“Private Placement”) of 2,170,000 Units (the “Placement Units”) in a private placement transaction at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $21,700,000. The Placement Units were purchased by one of the Company’s sponsors, FTAC Olympus Sponsor, LLC.

A total of $750,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (which includes approximately $30,000,000 of the Underwriters’ deferred discount) were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The remaining proceeds were designated for IPO expenses and operational use.

An audited balance sheet as of August 28, 2020 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
