Draper Oakwood Technology Acquisition, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: “DOTA,” “DOTAU,” “DOTAR” and “DOTAW”) announced today that it has entered into two backstop arrangements in connection with its proposed business combination with Reebonz Limited (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination, if approved by the stockholders of the Company at a special meeting of stockholders to be held on December 19, 2018 (the “Special Meeting”), will be effected pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement among the Company, Reebonz Limited, DOTA Holdings Limited (a Cayman Islands exempted company that will be the continuing public entity following the Business Combination and be renamed “Reebonz Holding Limited”; referred to herein as “Reebonz Holding”) and certain other parties (the “Business Combination Agreement”).

On December 13, 2018 and December 14, 2018, the Company and DOTA Holdings Limited entered into backstop agreements (the “Backstop Agreements”) with two different accredited investors (the “Backstop Investors”). Pursuant to the Backstop Agreements, one investor has agreed to acquire 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (”Common Stock”; such shares the “Backstop Shares”) and the other investor has agreed to acquire $5 million of shares of Common Stock in open market or in privately negotiated transactions prior to the 5:00 pm ET on December 14, 2018. The Backstop Investors have agreed that until the earlier of the closing of the Business Combination (“the Closing”) or the date on which the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, the Backstop Investors will not transfer any Common Stock, including any Backstop Shares that they acquire. In addition, each Backstop Investor has agreed (i) to vote all of its Common Stock, including any Backstop Shares, that it owns as of the record date for the Special Meeting, in favor of the Business Combination and each of the other proposals of the Company to be voted on at the Special Meeting that are required for the Closing, and (ii) to refrain from exercising any rights that such investor may have to redeem or convert any Common Stock that it owns, including any Backstop Shares.

In consideration for the agreement of the Backstop Investors, the Company has agreed (i) to issue to the Backstop Investors restricted Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) at the rate of 0.25 share for each Backstop Share purchased and not redeemed, (ii) and to register the resale of such shares pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as promptly as practicable after the Closing. In addition, it is contemplated that the Backstop Shares (which, upon the Closing, will become ordinary shares of Reebonz Holding) and, when registered, the Additional Shares (which, upon the Closing, will become ordinary shares of Reebonz Holding), will be sold in market transactions during the 90-day period following the Closing (which 90 day period may be shortened to up to 60 days by Reebonz Holding), subject to certain volume and sale limitations. Any shares not sold in the open market during the period will be purchased by Reebonz Holding at the end of the period. Under certain circumstances, Reebonz Holding may be required during such 90-day period to purchase certain of the securities held by the Backstop Investors. In the event that the aggregate proceeds from such sales are less than 110% of the aggregate amount paid by the applicable Backstop Investor for the Backstop Shares, Reebonz Holding has agreed to pay to such Backstop Investor the difference in cash (the “Guaranty Obligation”). In addition, Reebonz Holding has agreed to deposit the portion of the funds currently held in a trust account for the benefit of Company public stockholders which is attributable to such Backstop Shares (based on the price per share to be paid to the Company’s public stockholders who have properly elected to redeem their public shares in connection with the Closing) into a segregated escrow account, as security for the payment of the Guaranty Obligation. The Company agreed with one Backstop Investor that if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, the Company will liquidate promptly thereafter.
