Dave to Trade on The Nasdaq Global Market Under the Symbol “DAVE”

CHICAGO & LOS ANGELES – January 5, 2022 – Dave Inc. (“Dave”), a banking app on a mission to build products that level the financial playing field, and VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc. (NYSE: VPCC) (“VPCC”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company announced today that they had completed their previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination was approved by VPCC’s stockholders on January 4, 2022.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, VPCC changed its name to “Dave Inc.” and its Class A common stock and public warrants are expected to begin trading on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “DAVE” and “DAVEW,” respectively, commencing January 6, 2022.

The transaction included a $210 million PIPE investment led by Tiger Global Management, with participation from Wellington Management, Corbin Capital Partners and Alameda Research, which was funded in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

Jason Wilk, Co-Founder and CEO of Dave, commented, “We are thrilled to partner with VPCC and our new board of directors as we continue our mission to build products that level the financial playing field. This new influx of capital will allow us to invest in our business and in turn, help more people living paycheck to paycheck who traditional banking system has failed to support. We’re looking forward to hitting the ground running.”

“We are pleased to complete the combination and look forward to working with Jason and the broader Dave team as they accelerate their growth and continue to disrupt the legacy financial system,” said Brendan Carroll, Co-CEO of VPCC. “We believe that Dave has built a first-class banking solution with differentiated offerings that will continue to improve their customers’ financial lives.”
