Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $172,500,000.
Also as previously reported, on April 30, 2025, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 5,450,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to DAAQ Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, as representative of the underwriters (the “Representative”), and Clear Street LLC (“Clear Street” and together with the Representative, the “Underwriters”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $5,450,000. Of the 5,450,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 3,725,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Representative purchased 1,466,250 Private Placement Warrants and Clear Street purchased 258,750 Private Placement Warrants.
