Business Wire
On December 6, 2018, Draper Oakwood Technology Acquisition, Inc.
(the “Company”) (NASDAQ: “DOTA,” “DOTAU,” “DOTAR” and “DOTAW”)
filed a definitive proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy
Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to
its special meeting of stockholders to be held on December 19,
2018, to consider and vote upon, among other things, the approval
of its previously announced proposed business combination with
Reebonz Limited (the “Business Combination Proposal”). In order for
stockholders of the Company to exercise their redemption rights,
the Proxy Statement provided that stockholders must affirmatively
vote either for or against the Business Combination Proposal (the
“Voting Requirement”) in addition to following the instructions in
the Proxy Statement in order to tender such shares and demand a pro
rata portion of the funds held in the Company’s trust account.
The Company has determined to remove the Voting Requirement so
that stockholders of the Company may redeem their shares without
voting on the Business Combination Proposal. This means that
stockholders who hold public shares on or before December 17, 2018
will be entitled to elect to have their public shares redeemed for
cash in connection with the special meeting of stockholders whether
or not they were holders as of the record date of December 5, 2018,
and whether or not such shares are voted at the special meeting. In
connection with this change, the Company will today file a proxy
statement revision (“Proxy Statement Revision”) with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. In order to properly exercise their
redemption rights, holders of public shares will be required to
submit their request for redemption prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern
Time, on December 17, 2018, and to otherwise follow the redemption
instruction procedures set forth in the Proxy Statement, as revised
by the Proxy Statement Revision, in order to tender such shares and
demand a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Company’s trust
account. Stockholders holding their shares in “street name” through
brokers should provide instructions to their brokers as provided in
the Proxy Statement.
The Company believes that this change in the redemption
requirements provides stockholders with greater flexibility to
redeem their public shares and simplifies the overall redemption
process.
