Entry into Underwriting Agreement
On August 30, 2021, DoubleDown Interactive Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with STIC Special Situation Diamond Limited, as selling shareholder (the “Selling Shareholder”) and B. Riley Securities, Inc. as representative of the underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to the initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 6,316,000 American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), each representing 0.05 common share, with par value ofW10,000 per share, of the Company, at a price to the public of $18.00 per ADS (the “Offering Price”), before underwriting discounts and commissions. The number of ADSs offered and to be sold by the Company is 5,263,000, and the number of ADSs offered and to be sold by the Selling Shareholder is 1,053,000. The Offering is expected to close on September 2, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Selling Shareholder has also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 947,400 ADSs at the Offering Price.
The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-258032) that was filed with the SEC and became effective on August 30, 2021.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Issuance of Press Release
On August 31, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Offering. The press release furnished in this report as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The words “believe,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “potential,” “may,” “should,” “expect” “pending” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, including without limitation, that the Offering will be consummated. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations.
