Item 3.02.
|
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
|
On October 16, 2018,
simultaneously with the consummation of the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of units (“Units”) of
DD3 Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”)
of an aggregate of 225,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds
of $2,250,000. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the Private Placement. The Private Placement
was conducted as a non-public transaction and, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering, is exempt from registration
under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities
Act”). In the Private Placement, DD3 Mex Acquisition Corp (the “Sponsor”) purchased 225,000 Private Units. The
Private Units are identical to the Units, except that if held by the original holder or their permitted assigns, the underlying
warrants (the “Private Warrants”) (i) may be exercised on a cashless basis, (ii) are not subject to redemption
and (iii) subject to certain limited exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until after the completion of the
Company’s initial business combination. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchaser or
its permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis
as the warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO.

In connection with
the consummation of the IPO, the Company filed its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “M&A”)
with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands. Among other things, the M&A authorizes the issuance
of an unlimited number of Ordinary Shares (as defined in Item 8.01 below), no par value, and an unlimited number of preferred shares,
no par value, divided into Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E preferred shares. The terms of the M&A are set forth
in the Registration Statement and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the M&A is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the full text of the M&A, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference
herein.
On October 16, 2018, the Company completed
its IPO of 5,000,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, no par value (“Ordinary Shares”) and one warrant
(“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price
of $11.50. The Company completed its IPO pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No.
333-227423) (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on October 11, 2018.
