Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on August 2, 2019, DD3 Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands company (“DD3”), entered into a Combination and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Campalier, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Campalier”), Promotora Forteza, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Forteza”), Strevo, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Strevo”, and together with Campalier and Forteza, the “Sellers”), Betterware de México, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“Betterware”), BLSM Latino América Servicios, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“BLSM”), and, solely for the purposes set forth in Article XI of the Agreement, DD3 Mex Acquisition Corp, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable (“DD3 Mexico”), pursuant to which DD3 agreed to merge with and into Betterware (the “Merger”) in a business combination (the “Transaction”) that will result in Betterware surviving the Merger and BLSM becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Betterware, which was amended on September 23, 2019 pursuant to the Amendment Agreement to the Combination and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”).

 

On February 3, 2020, DD3, the Sellers, Betterware, BLSM and DD3 Mexico entered into the Second Amendment Agreement to the Combination and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment, among other things, (i) permits the purchase price to be mutually determined by the parties based upon the amount of cash available in the trust account on the date of the special meeting of DD3’s shareholders to seek shareholder approval of the proposed Transaction and related matters (the “Special Meeting”) and for such purchase price to be payable at closing in cash or transferred as a liability to Betterware as part of the Merger and (ii) extends the date on which the Agreement may be terminated by either DD3 or the Sellers if the closing has not yet occurred from January 31, 2020 to March 15, 2020. Other than as modified pursuant to the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the Agreement remains in full force and effect.

 

A copy of the Second Amendment is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

 

Additional Information

 

In connection with the proposed Transaction, Betterware filed a registration statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-233982) (the “F-4 Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which includes a proxy statement of DD3 with respect to the Special Meeting that also constitutes a prospectus of Betterware in respect of the securities to be issued in the proposed Transaction. Also in connection with the proposed Transaction, Betterware filed a registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-234692) (the “F-1 Registration Statement”) with the SEC. On January 22, 2020, the F-4 Registration Statement and the F-1 Registration Statement, in each case, as amended, were declared effective and DD3 filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC (the “Proxy Statement”), which was mailed on or about that date to DD3’s shareholders as of the January 16, 2020 record date for the Special Meeting. DD3’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read the Proxy Statement as well as other relevant documents filed with the SEC because these documents will contain important information about DD3, Betterware and the proposed Transaction. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the Proxy Statement and other relevant documents filed with the SEC, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s Internet site at http://www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: DD3 Acquisition Corp., c/o DD3 Mex Acquisition Corp, Pedregal 24, 4th Floor, Colonia Molino del Rey, Del. Miguel Hidalgo, 11040 Mexico City, Mexico, or by calling +52 (55) 8647-0417.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

DD3, Betterware and their respective directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposed Transaction under the rules of the SEC. Information about the directors and executive officers of DD3 is set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on September 20, 2019.

 

Additional information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants in the solicitation of the shareholders in connection with the proposed Transaction is set forth in the Proxy Statement. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

 

Non-Solicitation

 

This communication is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed Transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of DD3 or Betterware, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a definitive document.

 

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This communication includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding projections, estimates and forecasts of revenue and other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity and expectations, and the closing of the proposed Transaction. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of DD3 and Betterware management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of DD3 and Betterware. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in Betterware’s clients’ preferences, prospects and the competitive conditions prevailing in the industries in which Betterware operates; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed Transaction, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed Transaction or that the approval of the shareholders of DD3 for the proposed Transaction is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Transaction, including as a result of a delay in consummating the proposed Transaction or a delay or difficulty in integrating the businesses of DD3 and Betterware; the amount of redemption requests made by DD3’s shareholders; the ability to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards following the consummation of the proposed Transaction; those factors discussed in DD3’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and the Proxy Statement, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of DD3 filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither DD3 nor Betterware presently know or that DD3 and Betterware currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect DD3’s and Betterware’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. DD3 and Betterware anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause DD3’s and Betterware’s assessments to change. However, while DD3 and Betterware may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, DD3 and Betterware specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing DD3’s and Betterware’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
