INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

In this prospectus, we rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding the direct selling industry and our competitors from market research reports and other publicly available sources. We have supplemented such information where necessary with our own internal estimates and information obtained from discussions with our customers, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants and our management’s best view as to information that is not publicly available. While we believe that all such information is reliable, we have not independently verified industry and market data from third party sources. In addition, while we believe that our internal company research is reliable and the definitions of our industry and market are appropriate, neither our research nor these definitions have been verified by any independent source. Further, while we believe the market opportunity information included in this prospectus is generally reliable, such information is inherently imprecise. Projections, assumptions and estimates of the future performance of the industry in which we operate and our future performance are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk Factors.” These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains a number of forward-looking statements, including statements about the financial conditions, results of operations, earnings outlook and prospects of DD3 and Betterware and may include statements for the period following the consummation of the Business Combination and the date of this prospectus. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the management of DD3 and Betterware, as applicable, and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstance and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in “Risk Factors,” those discussed and identified in public filings made with the SEC by Betterware or DD3 and the following:

•        the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement;

•        the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against DD3, Betterware and others following announcement of the proposed Business Combination and transactions contemplated thereby;

•        the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of the combined company’s securities on Nasdaq following the Business Combination;

•        the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein;

•        the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined business to grow and manage growth profitably;

•        costs related to the Business Combination;

•        the limited liquidity and trading of DD3’s securities;

•        geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws or regulations;

•        the inability to profitably expand into new markets;

•        the possibility that DD3 or Betterware may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/ or competitive factors;

•        financial performance;

•        operational risk;

•        litigation and regulatory enforcement risks, including the diversion of management time and attention and the additional costs and demands on Betterware’s resources;

•        fluctuations in exchange rates between the Mexican peso and the United States dollar; and

•        the risks that the Closing is substantially delayed or does not occur.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions made by the management of DD3 and Betterware prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Business Combination or other matters addressed in this prospectus and attributable to DD3 or Betterware or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this prospectus. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, DD3 and Betterware undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our ordinary shares carries a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before making a decision to invest in our ordinary shares. The risks described below are those which DD3 and Betterware believe are the material risks that they face. Additional risks not presently known to them or which they currently consider immaterial may also have an adverse effect on them or the combined company following the Business Combination. Some statements in this prospectus, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to the Business of Betterware

Currency exchange rate fluctuations, particularly with respect to the US dollar/Mexican peso exchange rate, could lower margins.

The value of the Mexican peso has been subject to significant fluctuations with respect to the U.S. dollar in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. Historically, BWM has been able to raise their prices generally in line with local inflation, thereby helping to mitigate the effects of devaluations of the Mexican peso. However, BWM may not be able to maintain this pricing policy in the future, or future exchange rate fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on its ability to pay its suppliers.

Given Betterware’s inability to predict the degree of exchange rate fluctuations, it cannot estimate the effect these fluctuations may have upon future reported results, product pricing or its overall financial condition. Although BWM attempts to reduce its exposure to short-term exchange rate fluctuations by using foreign currency exchange contracts, it cannot be certain that these contracts or any other hedging activity will effectively reduce exchange rate exposure. In particular, BTW currently employs a hedging strategy comprised of forwards U.S. dollar–Mexican peso derivatives that are designed to protect it against devaluations of the Mexican peso. As of this date, the hedging contracts cover 100% of the product needs as of March 2020. In addition, BWM generally purchases its hedging instruments on a rolling twelve-month basis; instruments protecting it to the same or a similar extent may not be available in the future on reasonable terms. Unprotected declines in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar will adversely affect its ability to pay its dollar-denominated expenses, including its supplier obligations. See “Betterware Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Any adverse changes in BWM’s business operations in Mexico would adversely affect its revenue and profitability.

BWM’s revenue is generated in Mexico. Various factors could harm BWM’s business in Mexico. These factors include, among others:

•        worsening economic conditions, including a prolonged recession in Mexico;

•        fluctuations in currency exchange rates and inflation;

•        longer collection cycles;

•        potential adverse changes in tax laws;

•        changes in labor conditions;

•        burdens and costs of compliance with a variety of laws;

•        political, social and economic instability; and

•        increases in taxation

Mexico is an emerging market economy, with attendant risks to BWM’s results of operations and financial condition.

The Mexican government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Mexican economy. Accordingly, Mexican governmental actions concerning the economy and state-owned enterprises could have a significant impact on Mexican private sector entities in general, as well as on market conditions, prices and returns on Mexican securities. The national elections held on July 2, 2018 ended six years of rule by the Institutional Revolutionary Party or PRI with the election of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a member of the Morena Party, and resulted in the increased representation of opposition parties in the Mexican Congress and in mayoral and gubernatorial positions. Although there have not yet been any material adverse repercussions resulting from this political change, multiparty rule is still relatively new in Mexico and could result in economic or political conditions that could materially and adversely affect BWM’s operations. BWM cannot predict the impact that this new political landscape will have on the Mexican economy. Furthermore, BWM’s financial condition, results of operations and prospects and, consequently, the market price for its share, may be affected by currency fluctuations, inflation, interest rates, regulation, taxation, social instability and other political, social and economic developments in or affecting Mexico.

The Mexican economy in the past has suffered balance of payment deficits and shortages in foreign exchange reserves. There are currently no exchange controls in Mexico; however, Mexico has imposed foreign exchange controls in the past. Pursuant to the provisions of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, if Mexico experiences serious balance of payment difficulties or the threat thereof in the future, Mexico would have the right to impose foreign exchange controls on investments made in Mexico, including those made by U.S. and Canadian investors.

Securities of companies in emerging market countries tend to be influenced by economic and market conditions in other emerging market countries. Emerging market countries, including Argentina and Venezuela, have recently been experiencing significant economic downturns and market volatility. These events could have adverse effects on the economic conditions and securities markets of other emerging market countries, including Mexico.

Mexico may experience high levels of inflation in the future, which could affect BWM’s results of operations.

During most of the 1980s and during the mid- and late-1990s, Mexico experienced periods of high levels of inflation, although the country has had stable inflation during the last five years. The annual rates of inflation for the last five years as measured by changes in the National Consumer Price Index, as provided by Banco de Mexico, were:

A substantial increase in the Mexican inflation rate would have the effect of increasing some of BWM’s costs, which could adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.

If Betterware is unable to retain its existing independent distributors and recruit additional distributors, its revenue increase could potentially slow down.

BWM distributes almost all of its products through its independent distributors and it depends on them directly for the sale of its products. BWM’s distributors can terminate their services at any time, and, like most direct selling companies, it experiences high turnover among distributors from year to year. As a result, it needs to continue to retain existing and recruit additional independent distributors. To increase at attractive rates its revenue, BWM must increase the number and/or the productivity of its distributors. BWM’s operations would be harmed if it fails to generate continued interest and enthusiasm among its distributors and fails to attract new distributors.

Although in the recent past BWM experienced an increase in active distributors, it could experience declines in active distributors, including senior distributors at the manager and district director levels. The number of its active distributors, including those at the manager and district director level, may not increase and could decline in

the future. BWM’s operating results could be harmed if its existing and new business opportunities and products do not generate sufficient interest to retain existing distributors and attract new distributors. The number and productivity of BWM’s distributors also depends on several additional factors, including:

•        adverse publicity regarding BWM, its products, its distribution channel or its competitors;

•        failure to motivate BWM’s distributors with new products;

•        the public’s perception of BWM’s products;

•        competition for distributors from other direct selling companies;

•        the public’s perception of BWM’s distributors and direct selling businesses in general; and

•        general economic and business conditions.

The regulatory environment in which Betterware operates is evolving, and its operations may be modified or otherwise harmed by regulatory changes, subjective interpretations of laws or an inability to work effectively with national and local government agencies.

Although BWM reviews applicable local laws in developing its plans, its efforts to comply with them may be harmed by an evolving regulatory climate and subjective interpretation of laws by the authorities. Any determination that BWM’s operations or activities are not in compliance with applicable regulations could negatively impact its business and its reputation with regulators in the markets in which BWM operates.

Laws and regulations may prohibit or severely restrict Betterware’s direct sales efforts and harm its revenue and profitability.

Various government agencies throughout the world regulate direct sales practices. These laws and regulations are generally intended to prevent fraudulent or deceptive schemes, often referred to as “pyramid” schemes, that compensate participants for recruiting additional participants irrespective of product sales and/or which do not involve legitimate products. The laws and regulations in BWM’s current markets often:

•        impose on it order cancellations, product returns, inventory buy-backs and cooling-off rights for consumers and distributors;

•        require it or its distributors to register with governmental agencies;

•        impose on it reporting requirements to regulatory agencies; and/or

•        require it to ensure that distributors are not being compensated solely based upon the recruitment of new distributors.

Complying with these sometimes inconsistent rules and regulations can be difficult and requires the devotion of significant resources on BWM’s part.

In addition, Mexico could change its laws or regulations to negatively affect or prohibit completely network or direct sales efforts. Government agencies and courts in Mexico may also use their powers and discretion in interpreting and applying laws in a manner that limits BWM’s ability to operate or otherwise harms its business. If any governmental authority were to bring a regulatory enforcement action against BWM that interrupts BWM’s business, its revenue and earnings would likely suffer.

Challenges by private parties to the form of Betterware’s network marketing system could harm its business.

Betterware may be subject to challenges by private parties, including its distributors, to the form of its network marketing system or elements of its business. Betterware can provide no assurance that it would not be harmed by the application or interpretation of statutes or regulations governing network marketing, particularly in any civil challenge by a current or former consultant.

BWM’s distributors are independent contractors and not employees. If regulatory authorities were to determine, however, on a facts and circumstances basis, that its distributors are legally its employees, BWM could have significant liability under social benefit laws.

BWM’s distributors are self-employed and are not its employees. Periodically, the question of the legal status of its distributors has arisen, usually with regard to possible coverage under social benefit laws that would require BWM, and in most instances its distributors, to make regular contributions to social benefit funds. BWM is positioned to address these questions in a satisfactory manner; nevertheless there could be a final determination adverse to it that could be substantial and materially adversely affect its business and financial condition.

Failure of Betterware’s internet and its other technology initiatives to create sustained consultant enthusiasm and incremental cost savings could negatively impact its business.

BWM has been developing and implementing a strategy to use the internet to sign up distributors and take orders for its products. In certain demographic markets it has experienced some success using BWM’s internet strategy to improve its operating efficiency. However, any cost savings from its internet strategy may not prove to be significant, or BWM may not be successful in adapting and implementing its strategy to other markets in which BWM operates. This could result in its inability to service its distributors in the manner they expect.

Failure of new products to gain distributors and market acceptance could harm Betterware’s business.

An important component of BWM’s business is its ability to develop new products that create enthusiasm among its customers. If it fails to introduce new products planned for the future, its distributors’ productivity could be harmed. In addition, if any new products fail to gain market acceptance, are restricted by regulatory requirements, or have quality problems, this would harm its results of operations. Factors that could affect its ability to continue to introduce new products include, among others, government regulations, proprietary protections of competitors that may limit its ability to offer comparable products and any failure to anticipate changes in consumer tastes and buying preferences.

The loss of key high-level distributors could negatively impact Betterware’s consultant growth and its revenue.

At the end of 2018, BWM had approximately 325,000 active associates and approximately 15,000 distributors, district managers and district directors. At June 30, 2019, BWM had approximately 384,000 active associates and approximately 20,000 distributors, district managers and district directors. The district directors, together with their extensive networks of downline distributors, account for an important part of its net revenue. As a result, the loss of a high-level consultant or a group of leading distributors in the consultant’s network of downline distributors, whether by their own choice or through disciplinary actions by BWM for violations of its policies and procedures, could negatively impact its consultant growth and its net revenue.

If Betterware’s industry, business or its products are subject to adverse publicity, its business may suffer.

Betterware is very dependent upon its distributors’ and the general public’s perception of the overall integrity of its business, as well as the safety and quality of its products and similar products distributed by other companies. The number and motivation of its distributors and the acceptance by the general public of our products may be negatively affected by adverse publicity regarding:

•        the legality of network-marketing systems in general or Betterware’s network-marketing system specifically;

•        the safety and quality of its products;

•        regulatory investigations of its products;

•        the actions of its distributors;

•        its management of its distributors; and

•        the direct selling industry.

BWM depends on multiple contract manufacturers to provide it with products.

BWM has outsourced product manufacturing functions to third-party contractors located in China and Mexico. In 2018, products supplied by Chinese manufacturers accounted for approximately 89% of BWM’s revenues.

If these suppliers have unscheduled downtime or are unable to fulfill their obligations under these manufacturing agreements because of equipment breakdowns, natural disasters, power failures, or any other cause, this could adversely affect BWM’s overall operations and financial condition.

Although BWM provides all of the formulations used to manufacture its products, BWM has limited control over the manufacturing process itself. As a result, any difficulties encountered by the third-party manufacturer that result in product defects, production delays, cost overruns, or the inability to fulfill orders on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and operating results.

Betterware is committed to providing high-quality products to its customers. With this in mind, Betterware works with third-party manufacturers that it believes can better provide it with products that comply with its quality standards within its time requirements. Currently, Chinese manufacturers are the primary suppliers that best meet Betterware’s requirements, and Betterware currently expects this trend to continue in future financial periods.

Betterware depends on its key personnel, and the loss of the services provided by any of its executive officers or other key employees could harm its business and results of operations.

BWM’s success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of its senior management, many of whom would be difficult to replace. These employees may voluntarily terminate their employment with BWM at any time. BWM may not be able to successfully retain existing personnel or identify, hire and integrate new personnel.

Betterware’s markets are competitive, and market conditions and the strengths of competitors may harm its business.

The market for BWM’s products is competitive. Its results of operations may be harmed by market conditions and competition in the future. Many competitors have much greater name recognition and financial resources than BWM has, which may give them a competitive advantage. For example, BWM’s products compete directly with branded, premium retail products. BWM currently does not has significant patent or other proprietary protection, and competitors may introduce products with the same ingredients that BWM uses in its products.

Betterware also competes with other companies for distributors. Some of these competitors have a longer operating history, better name recognition and greater financial resources than it does. Some of its competitors have also adopted and could continue to adopt some of BWM’s successful business strategies. Consequently, to successfully compete in this market and attract and retain distributors, BWM must ensure that its business opportunities and compensation plans are financially rewarding. BWM may not be able to continue to successfully compete in this market for distributors.

System failures could harm Betterware’s business.

Because of its diverse geographic operations and its complex distribution network’s compensation plan, BWM’s business is highly dependent on efficiently functioning information technology systems. These systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fires, earthquakes, telecommunications failures and other events. They are also subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar misconduct. Despite precautions, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems could result in interruptions in services and reduce BWM’s revenue and profits.

Betterware’s business is impacted by consumer confidence and spending.

The sale of home organization products correlates strongly to the level of consumer spending generally, and thus is significantly affected by the general state of the economy and the ability and willingness of consumers to spend on discretionary items. Reduced consumer confidence and spending generally may result in reduced demand for BWM’s products and limitations on its ability to maintain or increase prices. A decline in economic conditions or general consumer spending in any of its major markets could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Betterware’s controlling shareholder may have interests that conflict with your interests.

Campalier and Forteza will directly own approximately 80% of the outstanding common stock of Betterware. Accordingly, Campalier and Forteza currently exercise, and for the foreseeable future will exercise, significant influence over its board of directors and business and operations. The interests of Campalier and Forteza could conflict with your interests as a holder of shares.

Betterware is an IFRS first time adopter, and the financial information previously issued was under Mexican GAAP, this could potentially affect the investor comparability to previous periods.

In connection with the preparation of the combined financial statements of Betterware and BLSM as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and January 1, 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, these are the first combined financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, and IFRS 1 First time adoption of IFRS has been applied. Betterware has historically prepared and presented its financial information under Mexican GAAP. This may affect the comparability of the historical financial figures for investors.

Lack of experience reporting under IFRS standards could lead to inaccuracy or inconsistency of results presented in future periods.

Reporting under IFRS standards could represent a challenge to Betterware in the coming periods due to the lack of expertise with respect to the application of IFRS standards and could potentially cause the combined company to fail to timely provide required financial information that could materially and adversely impact the combined company, including a potential delisting.

Material weaknesses have been identified in Betterware’s internal control over financial reporting.

In connection with the preparation of Betterware’s combined financial statements as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and January 1, 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, material weaknesses in internal controls over their financial reporting have been identified and remain unremediated. These material weaknesses include the following:

—     Lack of management review regarding the identification and assessment of the proper accounting of unusual significant transactions.

—     Inappropriate design of internal controls related to the provision of promotional points.

Both as a result of the lack of expertise with respect to the application of IFRS.

Betterware is not required to perform an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Had such an evaluation been performed, additional control deficiencies may have been identified, and those control deficiencies could have also represented one or more material weaknesses.

Betterware has begun taking measures to remediate the underlying causes of the material weaknesses and intends to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible. Assuming BWM and BLSM are unable to successfully remediate these material weaknesses prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the post-combination company could be unable to report financial results accurately on a timely basis. Any failure to timely provide required financial information could materially and adversely impact the post-combination company, including a potential loss of investor confidence or delisting.

In order to remediate the underlying causes of the material weaknesses, Betterware has:

i.        For the assessment of the proper accounting of unusual significant transactions, hired an expert company for the valuation of the relationship it has with Distributors at the time of Betterware’s merger with Strevo Holdings, S.A. de C.V. The corresponding accounting adjustments were made;

ii.       For the inappropriate design of internal controls related to the provision of promotional points, documented the calculation policy for the provision of promotional points, and it is adjusted every quarter end according to that policy. Betterware’s commercial intelligence and finance departments are involved, and there is a review procedure in place;

Defaults under Betterware’s term loan agreement with MCRF P, S.A. de C.V. SOFOM, E.N.R. (“CS”) may result in CS taking possession and disposing of any collateral, and restrictions under the term loan agreement may prevent Betterware from continuing with its normal business operations.

Betterware’s term loan with CS is secured by all tangible and intangible moveable assets of Betterware and BLSM. Therefore, if Betterware and BLSM default under the term loan agreement, it may result in CS taking possession and disposing of any collateral, and restrictions under the term loan agreement may prevent Betterware from continuing with its normal business operations.

As of June 30, 2019, the balance under the term loan agreement with CS was MX$572,255.00. The term loan matures in May 2023, and prepayments are not permitted, before May, 2020, subject to payment of prepayment commissions. Betterware’s obligations under the term loan agreement are secured by pledge and trust guarantees of the Sellers’ equity interests in Betterware and BLSM and a lien on all of the tangible and intangible moveable assets of Betterware and BLSM. If Betterware and BLSM default on their obligations under the term loan agreement, among other remedies, CS could take possession and dispose of any collateral under the term loan agreement and related documents, which would have a material adverse effect on Betterware’s business, operations, financial condition, and liquidity.

In addition, the term loan agreement contains certain customary covenants that may restrict Betterware from, among other things, amending Betterware’s bylaws, consolidating, merging or transferring all or substantially all of its assets. However, Betterware has obtained CS’s consent to go forward with the Business Combination.

If Betterware violates any of these covenants and is unable to obtain waivers, Betterware would be in default under the term loan agreement with CS and payment of the indebtedness could be accelerated. If Betterware’s indebtedness is accelerated, Betterware may not be able to repay that indebtedness. In addition, complying with these covenants may also cause Betterware to take actions that are not favorable to shareholders, which may make it more difficult for Betterware to successfully execute its business strategy and compete against companies that are not subject to such restrictions.

Risks Relating to Mexican governmental policies or regulations, including the imposition of an interest rate ceiling, may adversely affect BWM’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Betterware is a sociedad anónima de capital variable (variable capital corporation) incorporated under the laws of Mexico, and all of its assets and operations are located in Mexico. As a result, it is subject to political, economic, legal and regulatory risks specific to Mexico for the operations conducted in Mexico. The Mexican federal government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Mexican economy. Accordingly, Mexican federal governmental actions and policies concerning the economy, state-owned enterprises and state-controlled, -funded or -influenced financial institutions could have a significant impact on private sector entities in general and on BWM in particular, and on market conditions, including prices and returns on Mexican securities, including BWM’s. In addition, the Mexican government may implement significant changes in laws, public policies and or regulations that could affect political and economic conditions in Mexico, which could adversely affect BWM’s business. BWM cannot assure investors that changes in the future political environment, over which it has no control, will not have an adverse impact on its financial condition or results of operations and prospects. BWM does not have political risk insurance.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities and Service of Process

BWM is a variable capital corporation (sociedad anónima de capital variable) incorporated under the laws of Mexico. Most of its directors, executive officers and controlling persons named herein are non-residents of the United States and substantially all of the assets of such non-resident persons and all of BWM’s assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or BWM or to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against them or BWM based on civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States.

There is doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Mexican courts, of liabilities predicated solely on U.S. federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Mexican courts of judgments of United States courts obtained in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws. There is no bilateral treaty currently in effect between the United States and Mexico that covers the reciprocal enforcement of civil foreign judgments. In the past, Mexican courts have enforced judgments rendered in the United States by virtue of the legal principles of reciprocity and comity, consisting of the review in Mexico of the United States judgment, in order to ascertain, among other matters, whether Mexican legal principles of due process and public policy (orden público) have been complied with, without reviewing the merits of the subject matter of the case.

You may have difficulty enforcing your rights against Betterware and its directors and executive officers.

Betterware is a company incorporated in Mexico. Most of its directors and executive officers are non-residents of the U.S. You may be unable to effect service of process within the U.S. on Betterware, its directors and executive officers. In addition, as all of its assets and substantially all of the assets of its directors and executive officers are located outside of the U.S., you may be unable to enforce against BTW and its directors and executive officers judgments obtained in the U.S. courts, including judgments predicated upon civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or state securities laws. There is also doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Mexican courts, of liabilities including those predicated solely on U.S. federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Mexican courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions, including those predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws. There is no bilateral treaty currently in effect between the United States and Mexico that covers the reciprocal enforcement of civil foreign judgments. In the past, Mexican courts have enforced judgments rendered in the United States by virtue of the legal principles of reciprocity and comity, consisting of the review in Mexico of the United States judgment, in order to ascertain, among other matters, whether Mexican legal principles of due process and public policy (orden público) have been complied with, without reviewing the merits of the subject matter of the case.

Goodwill and other intangible assets represent a significant portion of Betterware’s balance sheet and its operating results may suffer from possible impairments.

Goodwill and intangible assets in Betteware’s balance sheet derived from past business combinations carried out by BWM, which are further explained in the notes to combined financial statements located elsewhere in this prospectus. Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that these assets may be impaired. In the case of an impairment, BWM will take charges to its operating results based on these impairment assessment processes. In addition, future acquisitions may be made by BWM and a portion of the purchase price of these acquisitions may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets.

Risks Related to DD3 and the Business Combination

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of DD3’s securities may decline.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of DD3’s securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of DD3’s securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the date of this prospectus, or the date on which DD3’s shareholders vote on the Business Combination.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of the combined company’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a public market for the Betterware Shares. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Betterware may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for the combined company’s securities develops and continues, the trading price of the combined company’s securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which will be beyond the combined company’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in the combined company’s securities and the combined company’s securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of the combined company’s securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of the combined company’s securities may include:

•        actual or anticipated fluctuations in the combined company’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it;

•        changes in the market’s expectations about the combined company’s operating results;

•        success of competitors;

•        the combined company’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•        changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning the combined company;

•        operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the combined company;

•        the combined company’s ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;

•        changes in laws and regulations affecting the combined company’s business;

•        the combined company’s ability to meet compliance requirements;

•        commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the combined company;

•        changes in the combined company’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•        the volume of the combined company shares available for public sale;

•        any major change in the combined company’s board of directors or management;

•        sales of substantial amounts of the combined company shares by the combined company’s directors, executive officers or significant shareholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•        general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of the combined company’s securities irrespective of the combined company’s operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of the combined company’s securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to the combined company could depress the combined company’s share price regardless of the combined company’s business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of the combined company’s securities also could adversely affect the combined company’s ability to issue additional securities and the combined company’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

DD3’s initial shareholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how DD3’s public shareholders vote.

Unlike many other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, DD3’s initial shareholders have agreed to vote their founder shares, private shares and any public shares purchased during or after DD3’s initial public offering, in favor of the Business Combination. DD3’s initial shareholders own approximately 22.6% of the outstanding ordinary shares. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval to complete the Business Combination will be received than would be the case if DD3’s initial shareholders agreed to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by DD3’s public shareholders.

If DD3 is not able to complete its initial business combination by April 16, 2020, it will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and DD3 will redeem its public shares and liquidate, in which case the warrants will expire worthless.

DD3’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that DD3 must complete an initial business combination before April 16, 2020. DD3 may not be able to consummate an initial business combination within such time period. DD3’s ability to complete its initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein.

If DD3 is unable to consummate its initial business combination by April 16, 2020, DD3 will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable, and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay liquidation expenses), pro rata to the public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of its affairs by way of a voluntary liquidation. This redemption of public shareholders from the trust account shall be effected automatically by function of DD3’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior to DD3’s commencing any voluntary liquidation. In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to DD3’s outstanding warrants. Accordingly, the warrants will expire worthless.

For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $56.6 million on June 30, 2019, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.17.

The ability of DD3’s public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of ordinary shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful and that DD3’s shareholders will have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their public shares.

Since the Business Combination Agreement requires that DD3 have at least $25,000,000 at the Closing, the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful is increased if a large number of public shares are tendered for redemption and DD3 is unable to raise enough additional funds to satisfy this requirement. If the Business Combination is unsuccessful, public shareholders will not receive their pro rata portion of the trust account until the trust account is liquidated. If public shareholders are in need of immediate liquidity, they could attempt to sell their public shares in the open market; however, at such time, the ordinary shares may trade at a discount to the pro rata per share amount in the trust account. In either situation, DD3’s shareholders may suffer a material loss on their investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with the redemption until DD3 is liquidated or DD3’s shareholders are able to sell their public shares in the open market.

Public shareholders who purchased units in DD3’s initial public offering and do not exercise their redemption rights may pursue rescission rights and related claims.

DD3’s public shareholders may allege that some aspects of the Business Combination are inconsistent with the disclosure contained in the prospectus issued by DD3 in connection with the offer and sale of units in its initial public offering. These may include: (i) the structure of the proposed Business Combination (including that DD3 itself is not acquiring the target business, but rather its shareholders are exchanging their ordinary shares of DD3 for shares of the target business and current DD3 shareholders may hold less than a majority of the outstanding combined company shares following consummation of the Business Combination), (ii) the Redomiciliation of DD3 prior to the Closing and (iii) Betterware’s recent adoption of IFRS and the presentation of certain non-IFRS financial measures elsewhere in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Consequently, a public shareholder who purchased units

in DD3’s initial public offering (excluding the initial shareholders) and still holds them at the time of the Business Combination and who does not seek to exercise redemption rights, might seek rescission of the purchase of the units such holder acquired in DD3’s initial public offering. A successful claimant for damages under applicable law could be awarded an amount to compensate for the decrease in the value of such holder’s shares caused by the alleged violation (including, possibly, punitive damages), together with interest, while retaining the shares. If shareholders bring successful rescission claims against the combined company, it may not have sufficient funds following the consummation of the Business Combination to pay such claims, or if claims are successfully brought against the combined company following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company’s results of operations could be adversely affected and, in any event, the combined company may be required in connection with the defense of such claims to incur expenses and divert employee attention from other business matters.

Future issuances of equity securities may dilute the interests of DD3’s shareholders and reduce the price of DD3’s securities.

Any future issuance of DD3’s equity securities could dilute the interests of DD3’s then existing shareholders and could substantially decrease the trading price of DD3’s securities. DD3 may issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the Business Combination or in the future, including pursuant to a private investment in public equity, or PIPE, or other offering of equity securities, for a number of reasons, including to finance DD3’s operations and business strategy (including in connection with acquisitions and other transactions), to adjust DD3’s ratio of debt to equity, to satisfy its obligations upon the exercise of then-outstanding options or other equity-linked securities, if any, or for other reasons.

DD3’s board of directors may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, choose to waive any conditions to consummation of the Business Combination and proceed to consummate the Business Combination.

The Business Combination Agreement contains conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement also provides that these conditions precedent may to the extent permitted by applicable law, be waived, in whole or in part, and the Business Combination consummated notwithstanding that a condition precedent has not been fulfilled or satisfied and notwithstanding that the waiver of the condition may directly or indirectly impact the financial condition of the combined company. The determination to waive the satisfaction of certain conditions will be made by DD3’s board of directors. No additional vote of the shareholders will be required in connection with the waiver of a condition precedent.

The exercise of discretion by DD3’s directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of DD3’s securityholders.

In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, other events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require DD3 to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions or to waive rights that DD3 is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Betterware’s business, a request by Betterware to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Betterware’s business and would entitle DD3 to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be in the discretion of DD3, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described elsewhere in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he may believe is best for DD3 and its securityholders and what he may believe is best for himself or his affiliates in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, DD3 does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that DD3’s directors and officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes may be made without further shareholder approval, if there is a change to the terms of the Business Combination that would have a material impact on the shareholders, DD3 will be required to circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus or supplement thereto and resolicit the vote of its shareholders with respect to the Business Combination Proposal.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect DD3’s business, investments and results of operations.

DD3 is subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, DD3 is required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on DD3’s business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on DD3’s business and results of operations.

DD3’s ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and the combined company’s ability to be successful thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of DD3’s key personnel, including the key personnel of Betterware, certain of whom will join the combined company following the Business Combination. While DD3 intends to closely scrutinize any individuals the combined company engages after the Business Combination, DD3 cannot assure you that any assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct.

DD3’s ability to successfully effect the Business Combination is dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel, including the key personnel of Betterware. Although DD3 and Betterware expect certain of such key personnel to remain with the combined company following the Business Combination, neither DD3 nor Betterware have employment agreements with senior management and key personnel. It is possible that DD3 and Betterware will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the combined company. Furthermore, while DD3 and Betterware have scrutinized individuals they intend to engage to stay with the combined company following the Business Combination, their assessment of these individuals may not prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause the combined company to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements. This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues which may adversely affect the operations of the combined company.

The sponsor and DD3’s directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares from shareholders, which may influence in which case they may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of DD3’s ordinary shares.

The sponsor and DD3’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the consummation of DD3’s initial business combination. Such a purchase would include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the sponsor and DD3’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination, or to satisfy the closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement that requires DD3 to have a minimum amount of cash at the Closing. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of DD3’s ordinary shares and the number of beneficial holders of DD3’s securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain the listing or trading of the combined company’s securities on a national securities exchange following consummation of the Business Combination or requiring the combined company to comply with the going-private rules under the Exchange Act.

DD3’s board of directors did not obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination and, as a result, the terms may not be fair from a financial point of view to DD3’s public shareholders.

In analyzing the Business Combination, DD3’s board of directors conducted significant due diligence on Betterware. For a complete discussion of the factors utilized by DD3’s board of directors in approving the Business Combination, see the section entitled, “The Business Combination — DD3’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.” DD3’s board of directors believes because of the financial skills

and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to DD3’s shareholders and that Betterware’s fair market value was at least 80% of DD3’s net assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DD3’s board of directors did not obtain a fairness opinion to assist it in its determination. Accordingly, DD3’s board of directors may be incorrect in its assessment of the Business Combination.

If DD3 effects the Redomiciliation in connection with the Business Combination, Mexican law will likely govern many of the combined company’s material agreements and the combined company may not be able to enforce its legal rights.

In connection with the Business Combination, DD3 intends to re-domicile out of the British Virgin Islands and continue as a company incorporated under the laws of Mexico. If DD3 effects the Redomiciliation, Mexican law will likely govern many of the combined company’s material agreements. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in Mexico may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States or the British Virgin Islands. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of the combined company’s future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital. Any such reincorporation may subject the combined company to foreign regulations that could materially and adversely affect the combined company’s business.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that Betterware does not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the PCAOB and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements from which foreign private issuers are not exempt will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements will require the combined company to carry out activities Betterware has not done previously. For example, the combined company will create new board committees and adopt new internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, additional expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements will be incurred. Furthermore, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if the auditors identify a material weakness or significant deficiency in the internal control over financial reporting), the combined company could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect the combined company’s reputation or investor perceptions of it. It may also be more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Risks associated with the combined company’s status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the board of directors or as executive officers. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. These increased costs will require the combined company to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by shareholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.

The combined company’s failure to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that will be applicable to it after the Business Combination is consummated could have a material adverse effect on its business.

Betterware is not currently subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. However, following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company will be required to provide management’s attestation on internal controls. The standards required for a public company under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of Betterware as a privately-held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable after the Business Combination. If the combined company is not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404(a) in a

timely manner or with adequate compliance, it may not be able to assess whether its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject it to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of its securities.

As a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the SEC, the combined company will be permitted to, and is expected to, file less or different information with the SEC than a company incorporated in the United States or otherwise subject to these rules, and is expected to follow certain home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain Nasdaq requirements applicable to U.S. issuers.

After the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company is expected to be considered a “foreign private issuer” under the Exchange Act and therefore exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, including the proxy rules, which impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations for U.S. and other issuers. Moreover, the combined company will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or within the same time frames as U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act. Betterware currently prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The combined company will not be required to file financial statements prepared in accordance with or reconciled to U.S. GAAP so long as its financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. The combined company will not be required to comply with Regulation FD, which imposes restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information to shareholders. In addition, the combined company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of combined company securities. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, if you continue to hold combined company securities, you may receive less or different information about the combined company than you currently receive about DD3.

In addition, as a “foreign private issuer” whose shares are expected to be listed on Nasdaq, the combined company will be permitted to, and is expected to, follow certain home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain Nasdaq requirements. A foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual reports filed with the SEC each Nasdaq requirement with which it does not comply followed by a description of its applicable home country practice. As a Mexican corporation expected to be listed on Nasdaq, the combined company is expected to follow its home country practice with respect to the composition of its board of directors and nominations committee and executive sessions. Unlike the requirements of Nasdaq, the corporate governance practices and requirements in Mexico do not require the combined company to have a majority of its board of directors to be independent; do not require the combined company to establish a nominations committee; and do not require the combined company to hold regular executive sessions where only independent directors shall be present. Such home country practices of Mexico may afford less protection to holders of combined company shares.

The combined company could lose its status as a “foreign private issuer” under current SEC rules and regulations if more than 50% of the combined company’s outstanding voting securities become directly or indirectly held of record by U.S. holders and one of the following is true: (i) the majority of the combined company’s directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of the combined company’s assets are located in the United States; or (iii) the combined company’s business is administered principally in the United States. If the combined company loses its status as a foreign private issuer in the future, it will no longer be exempt from the rules described above and, among other things, will be required to file periodic reports and annual and quarterly financial statements as if it were a company incorporated in the United States. If this were to happen, the combined company would likely incur substantial costs in fulfilling these additional regulatory requirements and members of the combined company’s management would likely have to divert time and resources from other responsibilities to ensuring these additional regulatory requirements are fulfilled.

The combined company will qualify as an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if it takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, which could make the combined company’s securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare the combined company’s performance to the performance of other public companies.

The combined company will qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, the combined company will be eligible for and intends to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as it continues to be an emerging growth company, including (i) the

exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements. The combined company will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of its ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of June 30 of that fiscal year, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which it has total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which it has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of DD3’s ordinary shares in its initial public offering. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from complying with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as the combined company is an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. DD3 has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period and, therefore, the combined company may not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Investors may find the combined company shares less attractive because the combined company will rely on these exemptions, which may result in a less active trading market for the combined company shares and their price may be more volatile.

The pro forma financial information included herein may not be indicative of what the combined company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The pro forma financial information included herein is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated.

Betterware’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.

Betterware’s executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Betterware’s management team may not successfully or effectively manage its transition to a public company following the Business Combination that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the combined company. Betterware currently may not have a complement of personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States. The implementation of accounting standards and controls necessary for the combined company to achieve the level of quality of financial reporting required of a public company in the United States may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that the combined company will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company which will increase its operating costs in future periods.

There may be sales of a substantial amount of the combined company shares after the Business Combination by DD3’s and Betterware’s current shareholders, and these sales could cause the price of the combined company’s securities to fall.

After the Business Combination, there will be 35,923,200 combined company shares outstanding (subject to certain assumptions, including: (i) no exercise of redemption rights by DD3’s public shareholders; (ii) no additional equity securities of DD3 are sold in connection with the Business Combination; (iii) the Sellers are entitled to receive 28,700,000 combined company shares upon consummation of the Business Combination; and (iv) no combined company shares are issued upon exercise of the warrants or the unit purchase option). Of DD3’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares that were issued prior to the Business Combination, all will be freely transferable, except for any ordinary shares held by the combined company’s “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Following completion of the Business Combination, approximately 50.5% of the outstanding combined company shares are expected to be held by entities affiliated with the combined company and its executive officers and directors.

Future sales of the combined company’s shares may cause the market price of the combined company’s securities to drop significantly, even if the combined company’s business is doing well.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, certain persons and entities that will receive combined company securities in exchange for certain existing securities of DD3 and Betterware will be entitled to demand that the combined company register the resale of their securities subject to certain minimum requirements. These shareholders will also have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Business Combination.

Upon effectiveness of any registration statement the combined company files pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, and upon the expiration of the lockup period applicable to the parties to the Lock-Up Agreements, these parties may sell large amounts of the combined company shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the share price of the combined company shares or putting significant downward pressure on the price of the combined company shares.

Sales of substantial amounts of the combined company shares in the public market after the Business Combination, or the perception that such sales will occur, could adversely affect the market price of the combined company shares and make it difficult for the combined company to raise funds through securities offerings in the future.

After the Closing, the warrants and the unit purchase option will become exercisable for securities of the combined company, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to the combined company’s shareholders.

If the Business Combination is completed, DD3’s outstanding warrants will convert automatically into warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,804,125 combined company shares and are expected to become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement governing those securities, and the unit purchase option will convert automatically into an option to purchase the same number of combined company securities underlying such units and is expected to become exercisable in accordance with its terms which, if exercised, will result in the issuance of 250,000 combined company shares and warrants to purchase an additional 250,000 combined company shares. The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The unit purchase option will become exercisable upon the completion of the Business Combination and will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on October 11, 2023. The exercise price of the warrants will be $11.50 per share, or $66,747,438 in the aggregate for all shares underlying these warrants, and the exercise price of the unit purchase option will be $10.00 per unit, or $2,500,000 in the aggregate, in each case assuming none of the securities are exercised through “cashless” exercise.

To the extent the warrants and the unit purchase option (and the underlying securities) are exercised, additional combined company shares will be issued, which will result in dilution to the shareholders of the combined company and increase the number of combined company shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such securities may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of the combined company shares.

If, following the Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the combined company, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding the combined company shares adversely, the price and trading volume of the combined company shares could decline.

The trading market for the combined company shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about the combined company, its business, market or competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on the combined company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of the combined company, the price and trading volume of the combined company shares would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover the combined company change their recommendation regarding the combined company shares adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about the combined company’s competitors, the price of the combined company shares would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover the combined company were to cease coverage of the combined company or fail to regularly publish reports on it, the combined company could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause its share price or trading volume to decline.

There can be no assurance that the combined company’s securities will be approved for listing on Nasdaq following the Closing or that the combined company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the combined company shares and warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “BTWM” and “BTWMW,” respectively. However, it is not a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination that the combined company shares and warrants be approved for listing on Nasdaq, and the Business Combination may be consummated even if such listing is not approved. If the combined company shares or warrants are approved for listing on Nasdaq, the combined company’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on the number of DD3’s ordinary shares that are redeemed. If the combined company shares or warrants are not approved for listing on Nasdaq or if, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists the combined company’s securities from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, the combined company and its shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•        a limited availability of market quotations for the combined company’s securities;

•        a determination that the combined company shares are “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the combined company shares to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the combined company shares;

•        a limited amount of analyst coverage; and

•        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of the combined company shares.

In connection with, and as a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement provides that certain persons and entities that will receive combined company securities in exchange for certain existing securities of DD3 and Betterware will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, such holders can demand that the combined company register the securities they receive in connection with the Business Combination, to include combined company shares and warrants and the combined company shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants. The combined company will bear the cost of registering these securities. The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of the combined company shares and the combined company warrants.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on the combined company’s financial condition, results of operations and share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although DD3 has conducted due diligence on Betterware, DD3 cannot assure you that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in Betterware’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence or that factors outside of DD3’s and Betterware’s control will not later arise. As a result, the combined company may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in the combined company reporting losses. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on the combined company’s liquidity, the fact that the combined company reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the combined company or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause the combined company to violate net worth or other covenants to which it may be subject or to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

DD3 believes that it has been a PFIC since its inception, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders with respect to the Merger or redemption.

DD3 believes that it has been a PFIC since its inception. Under the PFIC rules, in general, any gain recognized on the Merger or redemption by a U.S. holder of DD3 ordinary shares or warrants will be taxed as ordinary income, and an interest charge may apply, unless, in the case of DD3 ordinary shares, the U.S. holder made a timely election,

such as a “qualified electing fund,” or QEF, election, “mark-to-market” election, or “deemed sale” election. No such elections are available for DD3 warrants.

We urge U.S. holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to the Merger or redemption.

If the combined company is characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences may result for U.S. holders of combined company shares.

Based on the projected composition of its income and assets, including goodwill, it is not expected that the combined company will be a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the date of the Merger or in the foreseeable future. However, the tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually after the close of the taxable year, and it is difficult to predict accurately future income and assets relevant to this determination.

If the combined company is a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. holder holds combined company shares, unless the U.S. holder makes a QEF election or “mark-to-market” election with respect to the shares, a U.S. holder generally would be subject to additional taxes (including taxation at ordinary income rates and an interest charge) on any gain realized from a sale or other disposition of the combined company shares and on any “excess distributions” received from the combined company.

If the combined company determines it is a PFIC for any taxable year, it will endeavor to provide to a U.S. holder such information as the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. holder to make and maintain a QEF election, but there can be no assurance that the combined company will timely provide such required information.

We urge U.S. holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to the ownership of combined company shares.

An investor may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences in the event the IRS were to disagree with the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or the TCJA, and was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The TCJA changes many of the U.S. corporate and international tax provisions, and certain of the provisions are unclear. No ruling has been or will be requested from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein. The IRS may disagree with the descriptions of U.S. federal income tax consequences contained herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Any such determination could subject an investor or the combined company to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences that would be different than those described herein. Accordingly, each prospective investor is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to the specific tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of DD3’s or the combined company’s securities, including the applicability and effect of state, local or non-U.S. tax laws, as well as U.S. federal tax laws.

The Amended and Restated Charter of the combined company to be in effect as of the Closing will provide for the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts in Mexico City, Mexico for substantially all disputes between the combined company and its shareholders, which could limit combined company shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the combined company or its directors, officers, other employees or shareholders.

The Amended and Restated Charter of the combined company to be in effect as of the Closing will provide for the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts located in Mexico City, Mexico for the following civil actions:

•        any action between the combined company and its shareholders; and

•        any action between two or more shareholders or groups of shareholders of the combined company regarding any matters relating to the combined company.

This exclusive jurisdiction provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the combined company or any of its directors, officers, other employees or shareholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although the combined company’s shareholders will not be deemed to have waived the combined company’s compliance with U.S. federal securities

laws and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to foreign private issuers. Alternatively, if a court were to find the exclusive jurisdiction provision contained in the Amended and Restated Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the combined company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm the combined company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The exclusive jurisdiction provision would not prevent derivative shareholder actions based on claims arising under U.S. federal securities laws from being raised in a U.S. court and would not prevent a U.S. court from asserting jurisdiction over such claims. However, there is uncertainty whether a U.S. court would enforce the exclusive jurisdiction provision for actions for breach of fiduciary duty and other claims.

Shareholders may have difficulty enforcing judgments against the combined company’s management.

After the Closing, substantially all of the combined company’s assets will be located outside of the United States and a majority of the combined company’s officers and directors may reside outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult, or in some cases impossible, for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights against or to effect service of process upon all of the combined company’s directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under United States laws. The Amended and Restated Charter of the combined company to be in effect as of the Closing also will provide for the exclusive jurisdiction of federal courts in Mexico City, Mexico for certain shareholder lawsuits. See “— The Amended and Restated Charter of the combined company to be in effect as of the Closing will provide for the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts in Mexico City, Mexico for substantially all disputes between the combined company and its shareholders, which could limit combined company shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the combined company or its directors, officers, other employees or shareholders.”

If DD3 effects the Business Combination with Betterware, a company located in Mexico, the combined company will be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact its operations.

If DD3 consummates the Business Combination with Betterware, the combined company will be subject to special considerations or risks associated with companies operating in Mexico, including any of the following:

•        rules and regulations or currency conversion or corporate withholding taxes on individuals;

•        tariffs and trade barriers;

•        regulations related to customs and import/export matters;

•        longer payment cycles;

•        tax issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the United States;

•        currency fluctuations and exchange controls;

•        challenges in collecting accounts receivable;

•        cultural and language differences;

•        employment regulations;

•        crime, strikes, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist attacks and wars; and

•        deterioration of political relations with the United States, which could result in uncertainty and/or changes in or to existing trade treaties.

In particular, the combined company will be subject to the risk of changes in economic conditions, social conditions and political conditions inherent in Mexico, including changes in laws and policies that govern foreign investment, as well as changes in United States laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment, including the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or the USMCA.

DD3 cannot assure you that the combined company would be able to adequately address these additional risks. If the combined company is unable to do so, its operations might suffer.

Because of the costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations, the combined company’s results of operations may be negatively impacted.

Managing a business, operations, personnel or assets in another country is challenging and costly. Any management that the combined company may have (whether based abroad or in the U.S.) may be inexperienced in cross-border business practices and unaware of significant differences in accounting rules, legal regimes and labor practices. Even with a seasoned and experienced management team, the costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations, personnel and assets can be significant (and much higher than in a purely domestic business) and may negatively impact the combined company’s financial and operational performance.

If DD3 effects the Business Combination with Betterware, a company located in Mexico, Mexican law will likely govern many of the combined company’s material agreements and the combined company may not be able to enforce its legal rights.

If DD3 effects the Business Combination with Betterware, a company located in Mexico, Mexican law will likely govern many of the combined company’s material agreements relating to its operations. DD3 cannot assure you that the combined company will be able to enforce any of its material agreements or that remedies will be available in Mexico. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in Mexico may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of the combined company’s future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.

Economic conditions and government policies in Mexico and elsewhere may have a material impact on the combined company’s operations.

A deterioration in Mexico’s economic condition, social instability, political unrest or other adverse social developments in Mexico could adversely affect the combined company’s business and financial condition. Those events could also lead to increased volatility in the foreign exchange and financial markets, thereby affecting the combined company’s ability to obtain new financing and service its debt.

In the past, Mexico has experienced several periods of slow or negative economic growth, high inflation, high interest rates, currency devaluation and other economic problems. These problems may worsen or reemerge, as applicable, in the future and could adversely affect the combined company’s business and ability to service its debt. A deterioration in international financial or economic conditions, such as a slowdown in growth or recessionary conditions in Mexico’s trading partners, including the United States, or the emergence of a new financial crisis, could have adverse effects on the Mexican economy, the combined company’s financial condition and its ability to service its debt.

Mexico has experienced a period of increasing criminal activity, which could affect the combined company’s operations.

In recent years, Mexico has experienced a period of increasing criminal activity, primarily due to the activities of drug cartels and related criminal organizations. In response, the Mexican Government has implemented various security measures and has strengthened its military and police forces aimed at decreasing incidents of theft and other criminal activity. Despite these efforts, criminal activity continues to exist in Mexico. These activities, their possible escalation and the violence associated with them, in an extreme case, may have a negative impact on the combined company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Economic and political developments in Mexico and the United States may adversely affect Mexican economic policy.

Political events in Mexico may significantly affect Mexican economic policy and, consequently, the combined company’s operations. Presidential and federal congressional elections in Mexico were held on July 1, 2018. Mr. Andrés Manuel López Obrador, a member of the Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (National Regeneration Movement, or Morena), was elected President of Mexico and took office on December 1, 2018, replacing Mr. Enrique Peña Nieto, a member of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI). The new President’s term will expire on September 30, 2024. The newly-elected members of the Mexican Congress took office on September 1, 2018. As of the date of this prospectus, the National Regeneration Movement holds an absolute majority in the Chamber of Deputies.

The new administration and the Mexican Congress are discussing a number of reforms that could affect economic conditions in Mexico. Until any reform has been adopted and implemented, DD3 cannot predict how these policies could impact the combined company’s results of operation and financial position. DD3 cannot provide any assurances that political developments in Mexico will not have an adverse effect on the Mexican economy and, in turn, the combined company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, including the combined company’s ability to repay its debt.

Economic conditions in Mexico are highly correlated with economic conditions in the United States due to the physical proximity and the high degree of economic activity between the two countries generally, including the trade facilitated by NAFTA. As a result, political developments in the United States, including changes in the administration and governmental policies, can also have an impact on the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso, economic conditions in Mexico and the global capital markets.

On November 30, 2018, the presidents of Mexico, the United States and Canada signed the USMCA, which has only been ratified by Mexico. Once ratified by the legislatures of the three countries, the USMCA would replace NAFTA. As of the date of this prospectus, there is uncertainty about whether the USMCA will be ratified by the United States and Canada, as well as the timing thereof, and the potential for further re-negotiation, or even termination, of NAFTA. Any increase of import tariffs resulting from the implementation of the USMCA or the re-negotiation or termination of NAFTA could make it economically unsustainable for U.S. companies to import certain products if they are unable to transfer those additional costs onto consumers, which would increase the combined company’s expenses and decrease its revenues, even if domestic and international prices for its products remain constant. Higher tariffs on products that the combined company may export to the United States could also require the combined company to renegotiate its contracts or lose business, resulting in a material adverse impact on the combined company’s business and results of operations. In addition, because the Mexican economy is heavily influenced by the U.S. economy, policies that may be adopted by the U.S. government may adversely affect economic conditions in Mexico. These developments could in turn have an adverse effect on the combined company’s financial condition, results of operations and ability to repay its debt.

DILUTION

If you invest in Betterware’s ordinary shares, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the net tangible book value per ordinary share after this offering and the Business Combination. Dilution results from the fact that the public offering price per ordinary share is substantially in excess of the book value per ordinary share attributable to the existing shareholders for Betterware’s presently outstanding ordinary shares.

Betterware’s net tangible book value as of June 30, 2019 was approximately Ps(469,071), or Ps(53.93) per ordinary share as of that date. Net tangible book value represents the amount of Betterware’s consolidated assets, less the amount of Betterware’s intangible assets, goodwill and total consolidated liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting net tangible book value per ordinary share, after giving effect to the issuance by Betterware of (i) 4,500,000 ordinary shares in this offering at an offering price of US$10.25 (or Ps196.89) per share (the mid-point of the estimated initial public offering price range shown on the front cover page of this prospectus) and (ii) 35,923,200 ordinary shares in connection with the Business Combination.

Under Under Scenario 1, the cash consideration to Betterware is assumed to be Ps.501,832,513 and 2,548,780 ordinary shares will be issued. The additional Ps.384,178,000 will be paid to Betterware’s current shareholders. Under Scenario 2, the cash consideration to Betterware is assumed to be Ps.192,089,000 and 975,610 ordinary shares will be issued. The additional Ps.693,921,513 will be paid to Betterware’s current shareholders.

Without taking into account any other changes in net tangible book value after June 30, 2019, other than to give effect to (i) the issuance and sale by Betterware of 4,500,000 ordinary shares in this offering at an offering price of US$10.25 (or Ps 196.89) per share (the mid-point of the estimated initial public offering price range shown on the front cover page of this prospectus) after deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by Betterware and (ii) the issuance of 35,923,200 ordinary shares in connection with the Business Combination, Betterware’s pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2019 would have been MX$11.96 per outstanding ordinary share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of MX$65.89 per ordinary share to the existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of MX$184.93 per ordinary share, or 93.9%, to investors purchasing shares in this offering.

The following table illustrates such dilution:

The amount of dilution in net tangible book value to new investors in this offering set forth above is determined after giving effect to this offering from the public offering price per ordinary share.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

Background of the Business Combination

DD3 is a blank check company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on July 23, 2018 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. DD3 is not limited to any particular industry or geographic region.

On October 16, 2018, DD3 consummated its initial public offering of 5,000,000 units. On October 23, 2018, the underwriters for DD3’s initial public offering purchased an additional 565,000 units pursuant to the partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The units in DD3’s initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $55,650,000. The proceeds of DD3’s initial public offering, including proceeds from the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, were placed in the trust account and, in accordance with DD3’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, will be released upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

From the consummation of DD3’s initial public offering through the signing of the Business Combination Agreement on August 2, 2019, DD3 considered a number of potential target companies with the objective of consummating a business combination. DD3 contacted and was contacted by a significant number of individuals and entities with respect to potential business combination opportunities and held discussions with several possible target businesses with respect to potential transactions. During that period, with the support of EarlyBirdCapital, as DD3’s financial advisor pursuant to a business combination marketing agreement executed in connection with DD3’s initial public offering, DD3:

•        held conversations with numerous potential targets either initiated by DD3 or by the potential target;

•        negotiated and executed non-disclosure agreements, conducted initial business and financial due diligence or had meaningful discussions with representatives of approximately 20 potential acquisition targets;

•        executed a letter of intent and commenced further diligence with two potential acquisition targets; and

•        commenced confirmatory due diligence with one potential acquisition target.

DD3’s decisions to not pursue certain alternative acquisition targets was based on DD3’s view that the growth potential, strategy, management teams, deal structure and valuation of those opportunities did not meet DD3’s objectives. Nevertheless, several of these opportunities had significant individual merits and were carefully evaluated.

During the search of potential target companies with the objective of consummating a business combination, from November 2018 until February 2019, DD3 reviewed and considered 20 acquisition opportunities, with different industry focuses and segments mainly in consumer goods, entertainment, technology, healthcare, pharmaceutical and real estate services, among other industries; the aforementioned screening was conducted in line with DD3’s key investment thesis of asset light, high growth and high cash conversion criteria. With each of these potential target companies, a non-disclosure agreement was executed to perform an initial operating and financial analysis.

After reviewing targets, in December 2018, DD3 signed a letter of intent with one target company, or Target B, additional to Betterware.

Target B fulfilled, in DD3’s view, most of DD3’s acquisition criteria, specifically that it had a well-established and proven business model with strong operations and fundamentals for revenue and earnings growth, but a transaction with Target B was not feasible for numerous reasons, including the following:

i.       Target B’s capital raising strategy and timeline did not match those that DD3 had to offer;

ii.      Target B’s shareholders did not have a long-term strategy to remain in the company; and

iii.     A considerable institutionalization effort would be needed in order to comply with the SEC and Nasdaq requirements.

Transaction Timeline

During the second week of January 2019, Mr. Luis Campos, Chairman and President of Betterware, reached out to Dr. Martín M. Werner, DD3’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for advice about alternatives for Betterware to become a public company. Dr. Werner inquired about Betterware’s motivation and objectives to become public, and Dr. Werner and Mr. Campos agreed to meet in person for a deeper discussion on the topic and the different available options.

On January 16, 2019, Mr. Campos visited DD3’s offices in Mexico City, where Dr. Werner explained to Mr. Campos different alternatives for Betterware to go public, including the possibility to explore doing so through a special purpose acquisition company, or a SPAC. Dr. Werner also mentioned that DD3 was currently looking for targets and it could be a good fit for what Betterware was trying to accomplish. Both parties agreed to meet again in the subsequent weeks to go deeper into the alternatives, to explain the main differences between becoming public through a traditional initial public offering and a SPAC, and to present initial thoughts on potential business combination structures in the case of a SPAC.

On January 18, 2019, Betterware and DD3 executed a non-disclosure agreement to facilitate the review by DD3 of the financial and operational information of Betterware and commence the financial analysis for the different listing alternatives.

Between January 30 and February 1, 2019, at the request of Mr. Campos, Dr. Werner and Mr. Daniel Salim, DD3’s Chief Financial Officer, travelled to Monterrey City to meet Betterware’s minority shareholders to present the alternative structures under which Betterware could become public, including through a potential business combination with DD3.

On February 4, 2019, Dr. Werner had a call with Mr. Campos to discuss DD3’s preliminary results of the business review of Betterware and a preliminary valuation assessment. The valuation analysis performed was through a combination of different methodologies and the use of sector multiple comparables. During the call, Dr. Werner also presented the analysis of a potential business combination with DD3.

On February 6, 2019, DD3’s management team had a call with EarlyBirdCapital to present the Betterware opportunity and preliminary valuation assessment and discuss structure alternatives to merge DD3 with Betterware. Betterware’s financials, operating margins and growth profile were highlighted by DD3’s management as a good fit with DD3’s investment thesis.

In the middle of February 2019, DD3 presented to Betterware the commercial terms under which a business combination could be contemplated. Subsequently, DD3 sent a letter of intent, or the LOI, and after some negotiation between the parties, DD3 and Betterware agreed on the terms and executed the LOI. The initial structure contemplated a reorganization of Betterware legal entities prior to the consummation of the business combination, the absorption of the DD3 legal structure into Betterware, the capitalization of Betterware and the possibility to raise additional funds through a private subscription. DD3 began several workflows required for the business combination, including the preparation of preliminary business combination documents.

On March 1, 2019, DD3’s management team had a call with Greenberg Traurig, its legal advisor, to discuss the legal due diligence process to be implemented and the information needed to perform such diligence. In addition, DD3 contacted Deloitte to request a tax due diligence of Betterware. The tax diligence would entail confirming that the tax practices of Betterware were in accordance with the existing legislation and the preparation of a summary report. Deloitte was subsequently engaged for such purpose and began the related work.

On March 11, 2019, DD3’s management team and EarlyBirdCapital’s team travelled to Betterware’s headquarters in Guadalajara, Mexico. Betterware’s team gave a tour of the facilities and a presentation about Betterware. DD3 and EarlyBirdCapital established the next steps required for a potential business combination and presented an estimated timing of each of the different steps.

On March 14, 2019, DD3, Betterware, Greenberg Traurig, and Baker & McKenzie, Betterware’s legal counsel, had a call to discuss the different legal documents needed for the completion of the business combination and to allocate responsibility for preparing such documentation to the relevant parties.

On March 19, 2019, a call was conducted among DD3, Betterware, Greenberg Traurig, and KPMG, Betterware’s auditor, to discuss accounting requirements, the financial statements Betterware would be required to present to the SEC and an estimated completion timeline.

On March 22, 2019, a call was conducted among DD3, Betterware, and EarlyBirdCapital to discuss the marketing materials requirements, delineate the investor presentation that would support the marketing efforts, and the marketing limitations prior to announcing the business combination to the market.

On April 1, 2019, Deloitte finalized the tax due diligence on Betterware and presented its findings and conclusions to DD3.

Between April 3 and April 11, 2019, DD3 and Betterware, with the assistance of its financial advisor, met with a few selective investors to present the opportunity that could potentially result from a merger between DD3 and Betterware under the initial structure established in the LOI.

On May 1, 2019, Greenberg Traurig distributed the first draft of the proposed business combination agreement and related documents to all the parties.

On May 7, 2019, DD3, EarlyBirdCapital and Greenberg Traurig had a call to discuss how the business combination needed to be structured and the key steps to follow, this being: (i) converting DD3 into a Mexican entity, (ii) merging BLSM with Betterware in order to have only one operating entity that would be merged with DD3, and (iii) detailed steps of the process by which Betterware would become the surviving entity after the merger with DD3.

On May 9, 2019, DD3 and Betterware had a meeting in the offices of Baker & McKenzie to go through the anticipated steps of the business combination and the reorganization BLSM and Betterware would have to complete prior to closing, and Betterware’s tax advisor also presented an analysis of the business combination structure and the reorganization of Betterware and BLSM.

On May 14, 2019, DD3 had a call with Marcum, DD3’s auditors, to discuss the proposed business combination and filing process Betterware and DD3 would be required to complete, how to present the financial information and the timeline of the business combination.

On May 21, 2019, a meeting was held with all the involved parties in Mexico City. During such meeting, the proposed legal and tax structure of the business combination was refined, and the legal and tax advisors to DD3 and Betterware began incorporating that structure into the proposed business combination agreement and related documents.

On June 7, 2019, Greenberg Traurig presented DD3 with its final report on the legal due diligence that it had conducted on Betterware.

On June 18, 2019, DD3, Betterware, and EarlyBirdCapital had a call to discuss different structural points of the proposed business combination. Some of the most relevant points discussed during the call were the level of capital required from the business combination, primary and secondary proceeds, board composition, use of proceeds, preliminary dividend expectations, new investor relationship areas, and other related matters.

On June 19, 2019, a call was conducted between DD3 and EarlyBirdCapital to finalize the proposed business combination agreement. The main modifications were with regards to simplifying some representation and warranties, adjusting the consideration to be held in escrow, and eliminating some of the closing conditions.

On June 25, 2019, Greenberg Traurig sent an updated version of the proposed business combination agreement addressing the new structure of the business combination.

On June 28, 2019, DD3 held a call with Baker & McKenzie to discuss the latest structure proposed and required steps for completing the business combination.

During the first week of July, Betterware and DD3 had several calls to negotiate working capital, net debt and cash position of Betterware from signing of the proposed business combination agreement to the closing of the proposed business combination. The results of those discussions were incorporated into a revised draft of the proposed business combination agreement.

During the second half of July 2019, constant drafting, negotiations and adjustments of the business combination documents were carried out through meetings and calls.

On July 29, 2019, DD3’s board of directors met via teleconference, with all board members present. Also participating by invitation were Mr. Salim and James Cooke of Carey Olsen (Guernsey) LLP, British Virgin Islands counsel to DD3. After considerable review and discussion, the Business Combination Agreement and related documents were unanimously approved by DD3’s board of directors, subject to final negotiations and modifications, and the board determined to recommend the approval of the Business Combination Agreement. DD3’s board of directors also concluded that the fair market value of Betterware was equal to at least 80% of the funds held in the trust account.

On July 31, 2019, DD3, Betterware, Greenberg Traurig, and Baker & McKenzie met at Baker & McKenzie’s office in Mexico City to discuss final details of the business combination documents.

On August 2, 2019, the Business Combination Agreement was executed, and on August 5, 2019, DD3 and Betterware issued a press release announcing such execution.

On August 6, 2019, DD3 and Betterware conducted a conference call to present the Business Combination to the public community.

On September 23, 2019, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement executed the Amendment Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the definition of “Companies Valuation” under Article I of the Business Combination Agreement was revised to eliminate the inclusion of Net Debt (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) in such valuation.

DD3’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

DD3’s board of directors, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with DD3’s management and legal and financial advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, including the proposed Business Combination, are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of DD3 and its shareholders and (ii) to recommend that shareholders adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination contemplated therein, DD3’s board of directors considered a range of factors, including but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors, DD3’s board of directors did not consider it practicable to and did not attempt to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its determination. DD3’s board of directors viewed its position as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors.

In approving the Business Combination, DD3’s board of directors determined not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of DD3, including Dr. Werner and Mr. Combe, have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and backgrounds, together with the experience and sector expertise of DD3’s financial advisors, including EarlyBirdCapital, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination with Betterware. In addition, DD3’s officers and directors and DD3’s advisors have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions.

In considering the Business Combination, DD3’s board of directors gave considerable weight to the following factors:

•        Attractive Market and Favorable Industry Trends.    According to the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, or the WFDSA, Mexico is the seventh largest direct-to-consumer market in the world and the second largest in Latin America, with US$6bn of annual sales in 2018, and has been growing at a 2.3% CAGR from 2015 to 2018. In 2018 year-end, consumer confidence index in Mexico reached its highest level since 2006;

•        Leader in its Sector in Mexico.    Betterware is a direct-to-consumer company focused in the home organization segment. Betterware sells its products through nine catalogues published throughout the year (approximately 6 weeks outstanding each) with an offer of approximately 400 products per catalogue at approximately US$5.50 average price;

•        Proven Business Model Backed by Technological Disruption.    Supported by its unique business intelligence and data analytics unit, Betterware has shown long-term sustainable double-digit growth rates in revenue and EBITDA and has successfully built platforms that can grow locally and in other regions;

•        Unparalleled Logistics Platform.    Due to its meticulous logistics planning through the supply chain, Betterware has achieved a 99.9% service level and a 98.5% rate of deliveries on time anywhere in the country within 24 to 48 hours at a zero last mile cost, with its Distributors and Associates delivering the products to the final consumers;

•        Unique Product Portfolio.    Betterware sells its products through nine catalogues published throughout the year (approximately 6 weeks outstanding each) with an offer of approximately 400 products per catalogue at approximately US$5.50 average price. Betterware constantly innovates introducing approximately 300 products every year, representing 10% - 15% of the products in a catalogue;

•        Robust Distribution Platform.    Betterware sells its products through a unique two-tier sales model that is comprised of more than 400,000 Distributors and Associates across Mexico that serve +3 million households every six weeks in +800 communities;

•        Clear Multiple Additional Sources of Growth.    Betterware has identified multiple additional sources of growth that could expand and enhance Betterware’s platform. Some of the additional sources of growth include E-commerce app implementation, international expansion and strategic acquisitions;

•        Commitment and Experience of Management.    Betterware’s management team has over 30 years of experience in the direct-to-consumer sector and is expected to continue to run the business post transaction. Betterware’s management will rollover 91% of its equity, showing long-term commitment to Betterware;

•        Attractive Valuation.    The purchase price values Betterware at a discount versus selected comparable companies on a pro forma implied total enterprise value as a multiple of Betterware’s 2019E EBITDA;

•        Optimally Sized Transaction.    Upon consummation of the Business Combination, DD3’s existing shareholders will own, directly or indirectly, approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding combined company shares and Betterware’s existing shareholders will own, directly or indirectly, approximately 80% of the issued and outstanding combined company shares (subject to the assumptions described elsewhere in this prospectus); and

•        Highly Complementary Management Teams.    Dr. Werner, DD3’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will join the board of directors of the combined company. His experience in the financial sector will be highly complementary to the skills and experience of the strong management team of Betterware.

DD3’s board of directors also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

•        Macroeconomic Risks.    Macroeconomic uncertainty and the effects it could have on the combined company’s revenues;

•        Benefits May Not Be Achieved.    The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•        Financial Projections May Not be Achieved.    The risk that the cost savings and growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•        No Third-Party Valuation.    The risk that DD3 did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination;

•        DD3’s Shareholders Receiving a Minority Position in Betterware.    The risk that DD3’s shareholders will hold a minority share position in the combined company, or approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding combined company shares (subject to the assumptions described elsewhere in this prospectus); and

•        Other Risks.    Various other risks associated with the business of Betterware, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

DD3’s board of directors concluded that the potential benefits that it expected Betterware and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. DD3’s board of directors also noted that DD3’s shareholders would have a substantial economic interest in the combined company (depending on the level of DD3’s shareholders that sought redemption of their public shares into cash). Accordingly, DD3’s board of directors unanimously determined that the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination contemplated therein, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of DD3 and its shareholders.

Comparable Company Analysis

DD3’s management primarily relied upon a comparable company analysis to assess the value that the public markets would likely ascribe to Betterware following a business combination with DD3 and this analysis was presented to DD3’s board of directors. The relative valuation analysis was based on publicly-traded companies in the direct-to-consumer and retail sectors which are not necessarily direct competitors of Betterware. The comparable companies that DD3’s board of directors reviewed within the direct-to-consumer sector were Natura, Amway, Avon, Herbalife, Usana, Nuskin and Tupperware, while the companies within the retail sector were The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Newell, The Container Store, Walmart de Mexico, Kimberly-Clark de Mexico, Oxxo, Liverpool, and Grupo Sanborns. These companies were selected by DD3 as the publicly traded companies having businesses with a business model or product portfolio most comparable to Betterware’s business. DD3’s board of directors recognized that no company was identical in nature to Betterware. A brief description of each selected comparable public company’s business is as follows:

DD3’s board of directors reviewed, among other things, the enterprise values and enterprise values as a multiple of estimated EBITDA for 2019E and 2020E.

The enterprise values and multiples for the selected comparable companies are summarized in the table below:

Source: Thompson Eikon, equity research, and DD3’s estimates

Based on the review of these selected comparable publicly traded companies, DD3’s board of directors concluded that Betterware’s pro forma implied total enterprise value as a multiple of Standalone EBITDA was below the total Enterprise Value as a multiple of EBITDA of similar benchmarks of such companies. DD3’s board of directors views Standalone EBITDA as the appropriate measure of Betterware’s performance, and this analysis supported the unanimous determination by DD3’s board of directors, based on a number of factors, that the terms of the Business Combination were fair to and in the best interests of DD3 and its shareholders.

Interests of DD3’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

Certain of DD3’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of DD3’s shareholders. These interests include, among other things:

•        the beneficial ownership of the sponsor and certain of DD3’s directors and officers and their affiliates of an aggregate of 1,630,375 ordinary shares, which shares would become worthless if DD3 does not complete a business combination within the applicable time period, as the initial shareholders waived any right to redemption with respect to these shares. Such shares have an aggregate market value of approximately $         million, based on the closing price of the ordinary shares of $         on Nasdaq on              , 2019;

•        the beneficial ownership of the sponsor and certain of DD3’s directors and officers of warrants to purchase 239,125 ordinary shares, which warrants would expire and become worthless if DD3 does not complete a business combination within the applicable time period. Such warrants have an aggregate market value of approximately $         million based on the closing price of the public warrants of $         on Nasdaq on         , 2019;

•        DD3’s directors will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them on DD3’s behalf incident to identifying, investigating and consummating a business combination to the extent such expenses exceed the amount not required to be retained in the trust account, unless a business combination is consummated;

•        the potential continuation of certain of DD3’s directors and officers as directors and officers of the combined company following the consummation of the Business Combination; and

•        the continued indemnification of current directors and officers of DD3 and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

Potential Actions to Secure Requisite Shareholder Approvals

In connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination, the sponsor and DD3’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase ordinary shares from DD3 shareholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with the Business Combination for a per-share pro rata portion of the trust account. None of the sponsor or DD3’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller. Such a purchase of shares may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of the public shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and

therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the sponsor or DD3’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the trust account. The purpose of such share purchases could be to increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination or to satisfy the closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement that DD3 has, in the aggregate, not less than $25 million of cash that is available for distribution upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Business Combination

DD3 and Betterware are not aware of any regulatory approvals in either Mexico or the United States required for the consummation of the Business Combination.

Listing of Combined Company Shares

We have applied to list the ordinary shares and warrants of the combined company on Nasdaq under the symbols “BTWM” and “BTWMW,” respectively, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. Our application has not yet been approved. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to DD3 and the Business Combination —There can be no assurance that the combined company’s securities will be approved for listing on Nasdaq following the Closing or that the combined company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.”

Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a “downstream merger” in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, DD3 will be treated as the “merged” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the assumption that Betterware’s shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of the combined company, Betterware’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Betterware’s designees comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and Betterware’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the “Business Combination” (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), will not result in a business combination as defined under IFRS. The net assets of DD3 will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be deemed to be those of Betterware.

Description of the Business Combination

On August 2, 2019, DD3, the Sellers, Betterware, BLSM and DD3 Mexico entered into the Business Combination Agreement which provides for the Business Combination in which DD3 will merge with and into Betterware, with Betterware surviving the Merger as the combined company and BLSM becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the combined company, pursuant to the Merger Agreement to be executed at the Closing.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, at the effective time of the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement: (i) DD3 will pay to the Sellers the amount, if any, by which the amount in the trust account as of the Closing exceeds US$25,000,000 up to a maximum of US$30,000,000; (ii) all of the Betterware Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be canceled and to the extent the Sellers receive US$30,000,000 in cash consideration from the trust account, the Sellers will be entitled to receive 28,700,000 combined company shares, or if the Sellers receive less than US$30,000,000 in cash consideration, the Sellers will be entitled to receive the number of combined company shares equal to the combined valuation of Betterware and BLSM (as calculated pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) less the cash consideration amount received by the Sellers, divided by US$10.00; provided, however, that a portion of such combined company shares will be held in trust to secure debt obligations of the combined company, which will represent all of the combined company shares received by the Sellers; and (iii) all of DD3’s ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be canceled and exchanged for combined company shares on a one-for-one basis.

For more information about the Business Combination, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement.”

Accounting for the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, DD3 will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the assumption that Betterware’s shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of the combined company, Betterware’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Betterware’s designees comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and

Betterware’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Betterware issuing shares for the net assets of DD3, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DD3 will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be deemed to be those of Betterware.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Business Combination, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company. The adjustments presented on the pro forma combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide an understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Business Combination for illustrative purposes.

The pro forma combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. Betterware and DD3 have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The historical financial information of DD3 has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS for the purposes of the combined pro forma financial information. No adjustments were required to convert DD3’s financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS for purposes of the combined pro forma financial information, except to reclassify DD3’s ordinary shares subject to redemption to non-current liabilities under IFRS. The adjustments presented in the pro forma combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company after giving effect to the Business Combination.

The pro forma combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of redemption into cash of DD3 shares:

•        Scenario 1 — Assuming no redemptions for cash:    This presentation assumes that no DD3 shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their ordinary shares upon consummation of the Business Combination; and

•        Scenario 2 — Assuming redemptions of 3,106,457 DD3 ordinary shares for cash:    This presentation assumes that DD3 shareholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to a maximum of 3,106,457 ordinary shares upon consummation of the Business Combination at a redemption price of approximately US$10.17 per share. The maximum redemption amount is derived so that there is a minimum remaining in our trust account of US$25,000,000, after giving effect to the payments to redeeming shareholders. Scenario 2 includes all adjustments contained in Scenario 1 and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum redemptions.

Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma combined financial statements are an aggregate of 28,700,000 combined company shares to be issued to Betterware shareholders under Scenario 1 and 31,700,000 combined company shares to be issued to Betterware shareholders under Scenario 2.

After the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions of DD3 ordinary shares for cash, DD3’s current shareholders will own approximately 20% of the outstanding combined company shares and the former shareholders of Betterware will own approximately 80% of the outstanding combined company shares. Assuming redemption by holders of 3,106,457 DD3 ordinary shares, DD3 shareholders will own approximately 12% of the outstanding combined company shares and the former shareholders of Betterware will own approximately 88% of the outstanding combined company shares (in each case, not giving effect to any shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of warrants and the unit purchase option).

(in Mexican Pesos and in thousands)

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Combined Balance Sheet

(A)    Derived from the unaudited condensed combined statement of financial position of Betterware as of June 30, 2019.

(B)    Derived from the audited balance sheet of DD3 as of June 30, 2019, after giving effect to the translation of the amounts into Mexican Pesos.

(1)    To reflect the release of cash from marketable securities held in the trust account.

(2)    To reflect the payment of estimated legal, financial advisory and other professional fees related to the Business Combination.

(3)    In Scenario 1, which assumes no DD3 shareholders exercise their redemption rights, the ordinary shares subject to redemption for cash amounting to Ps986,435 would be transferred to permanent equity. In Scenario 2, which assumes the same facts as described in Items 1 and 2 above, but also assumes the maximum number of shares are redeemed for cash by the DD3 shareholders, Ps606,778 would be paid out in cash. The Ps606,778, or 3,106,457 ordinary shares, represents the maximum redemption amount providing for a minimum of US$25,000 remaining in the trust account, after giving effect to payments to redeeming shareholders based on a consummation of the Business Combination on June 30, 2019.

(4)    To reflect the recapitalization of Betterware through (a) the contribution of all the share capital in Betterware to DD3, (b) the issuance of 28,700,000 combined company shares (under Scenario 1) or 31,700,000 combined company shares (under Scenario 2), (c) the payment of Ps576,267 cash consideration (under Scenario 1) or no cash consideration (under Scenario 2) and (d) the elimination of the historical accumulated deficit of DD3, the accounting acquiree.

(in Mexican Pesos and in thousands, except share and per share data)

PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018
(in Mexican Pesos and in thousands, except share and per share data)

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Combined Statements of Operations

(A)    Derived from the condensed combined statement of profit and other comprehensive income of Betterware for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

(B)    Derived from the statements of operations of DD3 for the period from July 23, 2018 (inception) through June 30, 2019, after giving effect to the translation of the amounts into Mexican Pesos.

(C)    Derived from the combined statement of profit and other comprehensive income of Betterware for the year ended December 31, 2018.

(D)    Derived from the statements of operations of DD3 for the period from July 23, 2018 (inception) through March 31, 2019, after giving effect to the translation of the amounts into Mexican Pesos.

(1)    Represents an adjustment to eliminate direct, incremental costs of the Business Combination which are reflected in the historical consolidated financial statements of Betterware and DD3 in the amount of Ps3,353 and Ps8,718, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. There were no such amounts recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

(2)    Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest income and unrealized gains/losses on marketable securities held in the trust account as of the beginning of the period.

(3)    To record normalized statutory income tax rate of 30%, which is the statutory rate in Mexico, for pro forma financial presentation purposes resulting in the recognition of an income tax benefit.

(4)    The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net (loss) income per share assumes that DD3’s initial public offering occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. In addition, as the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net (loss) income per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed for the entire period.

The following presents the calculation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of (1) warrants to purchase 5,804,125 ordinary shares and (2) the conversion of the unit purchase option to purchase 250,000 ordinary shares and warrants to purchase 250,000 ordinary shares because the inclusion of any of these securities would be anti-dilutive.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of: (i) the Business Combination to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders of DD3 ordinary shares and (ii) the ownership and disposition of combined company shares to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders. This discussion is based on provisions of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (whether final, temporary or proposed), administrative rulings of the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein. This discussion is for general purposes only and

does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to holders as a result of the Business Combination or as a result of the ownership and disposition of combined company shares. This discussion does not address any transactions entered into prior to the effective time of the Merger. In addition, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders, nor does it take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder. Accordingly, it is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. This discussion does not address any withholding required pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (including the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection therewith) or any aspects of U.S. federal taxation other than those pertaining to income taxation, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under any U.S. state and local, or non-U.S., tax laws. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding such tax consequences in light of their particular circumstances. No ruling has been requested or will be obtained from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination or any other related matter; thus, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the U.S. federal income tax treatment described below or that, if challenged, such treatment will be sustained by a court.

This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to (i) U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders that hold DD3 ordinary shares, and, after the closing of the Business Combination, combined company shares, as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular holders in light of their individual circumstances, including holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. tax laws, such as, for example:

•        banks, thrifts, mutual funds or other financial institutions, underwriters, or insurance companies;

•        traders in securities who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting;

•        real estate investment trusts and regulated investment companies;

•        tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts;

•        expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

•        partnerships or other pass-through entities (or arrangements treated as such) or investors therein;

•        dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;

•        grantor trusts;

•        persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

•        U.S. persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar;

•        persons who received DD3 ordinary shares or Betterware Shares through the exercise of incentive stock options or through the issuance of restricted stock under an equity incentive plan or through a tax-qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation;

•        persons who own (directly or through attribution) 5% or more (by vote or value) of the outstanding DD3 ordinary shares or Betterware Shares or, after the Business Combination, the outstanding combined company shares;

•        persons who are required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to DD3 ordinary shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

•        the initial shareholders and their affiliates; or

•        holders holding DD3 ordinary shares or Betterware Shares, or, after the Business Combination, combined company shares, as a position in a “straddle,” as part of a “synthetic security” or “hedge,” as part of a “conversion transaction,” or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction.

For the purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of DD3 ordinary shares or, after the Business Combination, combined company shares, that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•        a corporation (or other entity that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

•        an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•        a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

For purposes of this discussion, a “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of DD3 ordinary shares or, after the Business Combination, combined company shares, that is neither a U.S. holder nor a partnership (or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership, including for this purpose any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds DD3 ordinary shares or combined company shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership and the partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors with regard to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination and the subsequent ownership and disposition of combined company shares.

THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE Business Combination OR THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF combined company shares. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE Business Combination AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF combined company shares, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.
