Duddell Street Acquisition Corp. Announces Pricing of $175 Million Initial Public Offering

Duddell Street Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) today announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 17,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units are expected to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “DSACU” beginning October 29, 2020. Each unit consists of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Company expects that its Class A ordinary shares and warrants will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols ‘‘DSAC” and ‘‘DSACW,’’ respectively.

The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Although the Company’s efforts to identify a prospective business combination opportunity will not be limited to a particular industry, it intends to focus on global companies in telecom, media and technology, healthcare, fintech and consumer sectors with compelling Asian growth potential.

BofA Securities, Inc. and BTIG, LLC are acting as joint book-running managers. The Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.

When available, copies of the prospectus relating to the offering may be obtained from BofA Securities, Inc., NC1-004-03-43, 200 North College Street, 3rd floor, Charlotte NC 28255-0001, Attn: Prospectus Department, by e-mail at [email protected] or by telephone at 1-(800)-294-1322 and BTIG, LLC, 65 East 55th Street, New York, NY, 10022 or by e‑mail at [email protected].
