(1)      Relates to common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Trident Acquisitions Corp. (“TDAC”), a Delaware corporation, issuable upon the proposed merger of AutoLotto, Inc. (“Lottery.com”), a Delaware corporation, and Trident Merger Sub II Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDAC, with and into Lottery.com (the “Merger”), with Lottery.com surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDAC. Upon the closing of the Merger, TDAC will change its name to “Lottery.com.” As used herein, the “Combined Company” refers to TDAC after the consummation of the Business Combination, and such change of name, as applicable. Based on the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Combined Company (the “Combined Company Common Stock”) estimated to be issuable in connection with the Merger described herein. This number is based on the sum of (i) the 40,000,000 shares of Combined Company Common Stock issuable upon the consummation of the Merger, without giving effect to downward adjustments, and (ii) up to 10,000,000 shares of Combined Company Common Stock that may be issued after such date for certain holders.

(2)      Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act, there are also being registered an indeterminable number of additional securities as may be issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.

(3)      Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(f)(2) of the Securities Act. Lottery.com is a private company, no market exists for its securities, and has an accumulated deficit. Therefore, the proposed maximum aggregate offering price is one-third of the aggregate par value of the Lottery.com securities expected to be exchanged in the Business Combination.

(4)      Calculated pursuant to Rule 457 under the Securities Act by calculating the product of (i) the proposed maximum aggregate offering price and (ii) 0.0001091.

(5)      Previously paid.

The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED
SEPTEMBER 17, 2021

PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
OF TRIDENT ACQUISITIONS CORP.

AND PROSPECTUS FOR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF TRIDENT ACQUISITIONS CORP.

Proxy Statement/Prospectus, dated _________, 2021,
and first mailed to stockholders on or about _________, 2021

To the Stockholders of Trident Acquisitions Corp.:

You are invited to attend a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the stockholders of Trident Acquisitions Corp. (“TDAC”) relating to the Business Combination Agreement, dated February 21, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among TDAC, Trident Merger Sub II Corp. (“Merger Sub”) and AutoLotto, Inc. (“Lottery.com”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are sometimes referred to herein as the “Merger” or the “Business Combination.” This document is both a proxy statement for TDAC’s special meeting of stockholders and a prospectus of TDAC with respect to the shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) to be issued to equityholders of Lottery.com in the Business Combination. As used herein, the “Combined Company” refers to TDAC after the consummation of the Business Combination and its name change to “Lottery.com.”

Upon the closing (the “Closing”) of the Business Combination, Merger Sub will merge with and into Lottery.com, with Lottery.com as the surviving company, continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDAC following the Merger, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the required consent of the stockholders of Lottery.com, each share of preferred stock of Lottery.com that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) shall convert into shares of Lottery.com’s common stock (each a “Lottery.com Share”) immediately prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any other person, each Lottery.com Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (which includes the shares of preferred stock of Lottery.com that have been converted into Lottery.com Shares but not including any treasury shares or dissenting shares) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. “Per Share Merger Consideration” means the quotient obtained by dividing (a) 40,000,000 shares of TDAC’s Common Stock, as may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement by (b) the aggregate number of Lottery.com Shares issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The aggregate share consideration of 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the amount by which Lottery.com’s indebtedness, less cash and cash equivalents, exceeds $10,000,000 as mutually agreed between TDAC and Lottery.com (each acting reasonably), divided by (ii) 11.00. With respect to the Lottery.com Shares that are unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, the shares of Common Stock issued as Per Share Merger Consideration upon the cancellation and conversion of such Lottery.com Shares shall be subject to the same vesting and termination-related provisions as that applied to such Lottery.com Shares. The holders of the Lottery.com Shares (the “Sellers”) will also be entitled to receive up to 6,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Seller Earnout Shares”) that may be issuable from time to time as set forth below. Additionally, Vadim Komissarov, Ilya Ponomarev and Marat Rosenberg (collectively the “Founder Holders”) will also be entitled to receive up to 4,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Founder Holders Earnout Shares”) that may be issuable from time to time as set forth below. The aggregate value of the consideration to be paid by TDAC to the Sellers in the Business Combination (excluding the Seller Earnout Shares) is valued at approximately $440 million, or 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment) to be issued to the Sellers, multiplied by $11.00.

If, at any time on or prior to December 31, 2021, (i) the dollar volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing, or (ii) if the Combined Company consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of the Combined Company having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $13.00 per share, each Seller shall receive its pro rata portion of 3,000,000 Seller Earnout Shares and each Founder Holder shall receive one-third of 2,000,000 Founder Holders Earnout Shares.

 

Table of Contents

If, at any time on or prior to December 31, 2022, (i) the dollar volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing, or (ii) if the Combined Company consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of the Combined Company having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $16.00 per share, each Seller shall receive its pro rata portion of 3,000,000 Seller Earnout Shares and each Founder Holder shall receive one-third of 2,000,000 Founder Holders Earnout Shares.

The Seller Earnout Shares then earned and issuable shall be issued to each Seller on a pro-rata basis based on the percentage of the aggregate share consideration received, or entitled to be received, by such Seller as of immediately following the Closing.

At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Lottery.com Shares (a “Lottery.com Option”) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by TDAC, and will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms and, to the extent applicable, holding period restrictions) as applied to such Lottery.com Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions (each, an “Assumed Option”) with such adjustments to the number of shares underlying and the exercise price of such Assumed Option as provided for under the Business Combination Agreement.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any person, each warrant to purchase Lottery.com Shares (each, a “Lottery.com Warrant”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and has not been terminated pursuant to its terms will automatically become a warrant exercisable for shares of Common Stock (a “Trident Consideration Warrant”) on the same terms and conditions as applied to the Lottery.com Warrants with adjustments to the number of shares underlying the warrant and the exercise price as are set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

At the Effective Time, each convertible promissory note issued by Lottery.com that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and has not been converted or terminated pursuant to its terms, if any, will continue to remain in full force and effect on its terms after the Closing.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the outstanding shares of Common Stock will become shares of common stock of the Combined Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Combined Company Common Stock”) and the warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock will become warrants to acquire Combined Company Common Stock.

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, TDAC’s existing stockholders will own approximately 23.0% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company Common Stock and that Lottery.com’s existing securityholders will own approximately 77.0% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company Common Stock. These percentages are calculated based on a number of assumptions and are subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. These relative percentages assume that none of TDAC’s existing Public Stockholders (as defined below) exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and that the Founder Holders forfeit a minimum of 561,932 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the forfeiture agreement to be entered into at Closing by and among the Initial Stockholders, TDAC and Lottery.com. If any of TDAC’s Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights, or any of the other assumptions underlying these percentages become inaccurate, these percentages may vary from the amounts shown above. Please see “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

In addition to the proposal to approve the Business Combination, stockholders are being asked to approve (1) a proposal to approve the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Combined Company (the “Proposed Charter”), (2) a non-binding advisory vote to approve the following material differences between the organizational documents of the Combined Company that will be in effect upon the closing of the Business Combination and TDAC’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation: (i) the Proposed Charter will provide that the name of the new public entity will be “Lottery.com” as opposed to “Trident Acquisitions Corp.” and will remove certain provisions related to TDAC’s status as a special purpose acquisition company (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated in a certain period of time), (ii) the Combined Company will have 500,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, as opposed to the Company having 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, (iii) the Combined Company will have 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, as opposed to the Company having 1,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, (iv) the Proposed Charter will eliminate the ability for stockholders to act by written consent, (v) the Proposed Charter will eliminate the ability of stockholders to call

 

Table of Contents

special meetings of stockholders, (vi) the Proposed Charter will provide that the Combined Company’s directors may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company Common Stock, (vii) the Proposed Charter will require a two-thirds super-majority approval regarding amendments to the charter, (viii) the Proposed Charter will require a two-thirds super-majority approval regarding amendments to the Proposed Bylaws, and (ix) the Proposed Charter will establish redemption rights with respect to capital stock held by any stockholders who are Disqualified Holders (as defined herein) or their affiliates, (3) a proposal regarding the issuance of shares in order to comply with certain listing rules imposed by Nasdaq, (4) a proposal to elect [three directors to the Combined Company’s board of directors to serve until the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, one director to serve until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders and one director to serve until the 2024 annual meeting of stockholder,] in each case effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, (5) a proposal to adopt and approve the Lottery.com 2021 Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) for the Combined Company, and (6) a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting in the event TDAC does not receive the requisite number of votes to approve the Business Combination. Each of these proposals has been unanimously approved by the Board.

TDAC’s common stock, warrants and units are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “TDAC”, “TDACW” and “TDACU”, respectively. TDAC has applied for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of the Combined Company Common Stock and Public Warrants on The Nasdaq Global Market under the proposed symbols “LTRY”, and “LTRYW”, respectively.

Pursuant to TDAC’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation, TDAC is providing its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Common Stock (“Public Shares”) for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of TDAC’s initial public offering, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to TDAC to pay TDAC’s franchise and income taxes, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of $63,286,019.55 on June 30, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.94. Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her, their or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming his, her, their or its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the outstanding Public Shares. Holders of TDAC’s outstanding warrants do not have redemption rights with respect to such warrants in connection with the Business Combination. All of the initial stockholders of TDAC have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock they acquired prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”) (the “Founder Shares”) and any shares of Common Stock that they may have acquired during or after the IPO in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. The Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price.

One Liberty Plaza, 165 Broadway, 23rd Floor
New York, NY 10006

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD [_], 2021
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF TRIDENT ACQUISITIONS CORP.:

A special meeting of stockholders of Trident Acquisitions Corp. (“TDAC”), a Delaware corporation, will be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern standard time, on [_], 2021 (such meeting, together with any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Special Meeting”). In light of COVID-19, we will hold the Special Meeting virtually. You can participate in the virtual Special Meeting as described in “The TDAC Special Meeting — How to Attend the Special Meeting.” The Special Meeting is being held to consider and vote upon proposals to approve:

(a)     The Business Combination Proposal: a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2021 (as may be amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among TDAC (whose name is expected to change to Lottery.com upon closing of the Business Combination), Trident Merger Sub II Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), AutoLotto, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lottery.com”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Lottery.com, with Lottery.com as the surviving company, continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDAC following the Merger, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease (such transactions, collectively, the “Business Combination”). As used herein, the “Combined Company” refers to TDAC after the consummation of the Business Combination and its change of name to Lottery.com (the “Business Combination Proposal”).

(b)    The Charter Proposal: a proposal to approve the Combined Company’s proposed second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Charter”), in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B-1, in connection with the Business Combination (the “Charter Proposal”);

(c)     The Advisory Charter Proposals: a non-binding advisory vote upon the Advisory Charter Proposals;

(d)    The Nasdaq Proposal: a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of Nasdaq, or Nasdaq Listing Rules, the issuance of more than 20% of the current total issued and outstanding Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) (the “Nasdaq Proposal”);

(e)     The Director Election Proposal: to consider and vote upon a proposal to elect [_] Class I directors, [_] Class II and [_] Class III directors to serve on the Combined Company’s board of directors until the 2022, 2023 and 2024 annual meetings of stockholders, respectively, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation, removal or death (the “Director Election Proposal”);

(f)     The Equity Plan Proposal: to consider and vote on the Lottery.com 2021 Incentive Plan to be effective after the closing of the Business Combination (the “Equity Plan Proposal”); and

(g)    The Adjournment Proposal: to consider and vote on any adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in the event TDAC does not receive the requisite stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

Pursuant to TDAC’s Current Charter and the Business Combination Agreement, TDAC is required to obtain stockholder approval of the Business Combination with Lottery.com. Consequently, the Business Combination Proposal must be approved for any such transaction to be completed.

The Board of Directors has fixed the record date as the close of business on [_], 2021, as the date for determining TDAC stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. As of the record date there were [_] shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Only holders of record of Common Stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting. In order for the Business Combination Proposal to be approved, holders of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the Business Combination must be voted in favor of such proposal.

 

Table of Contents

Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please sign, date and return your proxy card as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may also cast your vote online at the virtual Special Meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank how to vote your shares, or you may cast your vote online at the virtual Special Meeting by obtaining a proxy from your brokerage firm or bank and forwarding to Continental as described herein. If you fail to return your proxy card or instruct your broker or bank how to vote, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. Since none of the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting are routine matters for which brokers may have discretionary authority to vote, there can be no broker non-votes at the Special Meeting. Consequently, failure to provide instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote will result in your shares not being counted as represented for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Special Meeting.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that these proposals are fair to and in the best interests of TDAC and its stockholders, and has recommended that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of them.

Dated: [_], 2021

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS

The following are answers to some questions that you, as a stockholder of TDAC, may have regarding the Proposals being considered at the Special Meeting. We urge you to read carefully the remainder of this proxy statement/prospectus because the information in this section does not provide all the information that might be important to you with respect to the Proposals and the other matters being considered at the Special Meeting. Additional important information is also contained in the annexes to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:     What is the purpose of this document?

A:     TDAC, Merger Sub and Lottery.com have agreed to the Business Combination under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and is incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus by reference. The Board is soliciting your proxy to vote for the Business Combination and other Proposals at the Special Meeting because you owned Common Stock at the close of business on [_], 2021, the “Record Date” for the Special Meeting, and are therefore entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. This proxy statement/prospectus summarizes the information that you need to know in order to cast your vote.

Q:     What is being voted on?

A:     Below are the proposals that the TDAC stockholders are being asked to vote on:

•        Proposal 1 — The Business Combination Proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

•        Proposal 2 — The Charter Proposal to approve the Proposed Charter.

•        Proposal 3 — The Advisory Charter Proposals to approve material differences between the organizational documents of the Combined Company that will be in effect upon the closing of the Business Combination and TDAC’s Current Charter.

•        Proposal 4 — The Nasdaq Proposal to approve the issuance of more than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

•        Proposal 5 — The Director Election Proposal to consider and vote upon a proposal to elect [_] Class I directors, [_] Class II and [_] Class III directors to serve on the Combined Company’s board of directors until the 2022, 2023 and 2024 annual meetings of stockholders, respectively, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation, removal or death.

•        Proposal 6 — The Equity Plan Proposal to approve the Equity Plan.

•        Proposal 7 — The Adjournment Proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting in certain circumstances.

Q:     What vote is required to approve the Proposals?

A:     Proposal 1 — The Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the Business Combination. An abstention will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 1.

         The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any shares of TDAC common stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, (i) assuming that only a quorum was present at the Special Meeting, TDAC would not need any of its Public Shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination Proposal approved, and (ii) assuming all outstanding shares are voted at the Special Meeting, TDAC would not need any of its Public Shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination Proposal approved.

Proposal 2 — The Charter Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 2.

vii

Table of Contents

Proposal 3 — The Advisory Charter Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 3.

Proposal 4 — The Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 4.

Proposal 5 — The directors subject to the Director Election Proposal will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, online or by proxy. This means that the five director nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominee for the same position. Abstentions will have no effect on Proposal 5.

Proposal 6 — The Equity Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present in person by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 6.

Proposal 7 — The Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present in person by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 7.

Q:     Are any of the proposals conditioned on one another?

A:     The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) is conditioned upon the approval of Proposals 2 and 4. Proposals 2, 4, 5 and 6 are dependent upon approval of Proposal 1. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, TDAC will not consummate the Business Combination. If TDAC does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by September 1, 2021 (unless such date has been extended pursuant to the Current Charter), TDAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate, unless TDAC seeks stockholder approval to amend our Current Charter to extend the date by which the Business Combination may be consummated. The Advisory Charter Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:     How will the Initial Stockholders vote?

A:     Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated May 29, 2018 (“Letter Agreement”), the Initial Stockholders, who as of June 29, 2021 owned 6,181,250 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 51.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, agreed to vote their respective Founder Shares and any shares of Common Stock purchased by them in the open market in or after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and related Proposals.

Q:     How many votes do I and others have?

A:     You are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock that you held as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 11,967,605 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Q:     What is the consideration being paid to Lottery.com Shareholders?

A:     Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any other person, each Lottery.com Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (which includes the shares of preferred stock of Lottery.com that have been converted into Lottery.com Shares but not including any treasury shares or dissenting shares) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. “Per Share Merger Consideration” means the quotient obtained by dividing (a) 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, as may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement by (b) the aggregate number of Lottery.com Shares issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The aggregate share consideration of 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the amount by which Net Indebtedness exceeds $10,000,000, as mutually agreed between TDAC and Lottery.com (each acting

viii

reasonably), divided by (ii) 11.00. “Net Indebtedness” means the amount equal to Lottery.com’s indebtedness, less cash and cash equivalents. For the avoidance of doubt, Lottery.com’s indebtedness shall not include current liabilities or any intercompany indebtedness between or among Lottery.com and any of its subsidiaries. With respect to the Lottery.com Shares that are unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, the shares of Common Stock issued as Per Share Merger Consideration upon the cancellation and conversion of such Lottery.com Shares shall be subject to the same vesting and termination-related provisions as that applied to such Lottery.com Shares.

The holders of the Lottery.com Shares will also be entitled to receive up to 6,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Seller Earnout Shares”) subject to the achievement of certain stock price targets. Additionally, Vadim Komissarov, Ilya Ponomarev and Marat Rosenberg (collectively the “Founder Holders”) will also be entitled to receive up to 4,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock subject to the achievement of certain stock price targets. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Seller Earnout Shares.”

The aggregate value of the consideration to be paid by TDAC to the Sellers in the Business Combination (excluding the Seller Earnout Shares) is approximately $440 million (calculated as follows: 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Sellers, multiplied by $11.00).

Q:     Do any of TDAC’s directors or officers have interests that may conflict with my interests with respect to the Business Combination?

A:     In considering the recommendation of the Board to approve the Business Combination Agreement, TDAC stockholders should be aware that certain TDAC executive officers and directors may be deemed to have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of TDAC stockholders generally. These interests, which may create actual or potential conflicts of interest, are, to the extent material, described in the sections entitled “TDAC Directors and Management”, “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” and “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination”.

Q:     How do I attend the Special Meeting?

A:     As a stockholder as of the Record Date, you received either a voting instruction form or Proxy Card from Continental Stock Transfer. Both forms contain instructions on how to attend the virtual annual meeting including the URL address, along with your control number. You will need your control number for access. If you do not have your control number, contact Continental Stock Transfer by telephone at 917-262-2373, or by email proxy@continentalstock.com.

Beneficial holders will need to contact Continental Stock Transfer to receive a control number. If you plan to vote at the meeting you will need to have a legal proxy from your bank or broker or if you would like to join and not vote Continental will issue you a guest control number. Either way you must contact Continental for specific instructions on how to receive the control number. Continental Stock Transfer can be contacted at the number or email address above. Please allow up to 48 hours prior to the meeting for processing your control number.

Q:     Who may vote at the Special Meeting?

A:     Only holders of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date, or [_], 2021, may vote at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were approximately [___] holders of record of Common Stock. Please see “The TDAC Special Meeting — Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote” for further information.

Q:     What is the quorum requirement for the Special Meeting?

A:     Stockholders representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting must be present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy in order to hold the Special Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Shares of our Common Stock will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum if the stockholder (i) is present by virtual attendance and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, or (ii) has properly submitted a proxy card or voting instructions through a broker, bank or custodian. In the absence of a quorum, stockholders representing a majority of the votes present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting may adjourn the meeting until a quorum is present.

Q:     Am I required to vote against the Business Combination Proposal in order to have my Public Shares redeemed?

A:     No. You are not required to vote against the Business Combination Proposal in order to have the right to demand that TDAC redeem your Public Shares for cash equal to your pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (before payment of deferred underwriting commissions owed to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”), and including interest earned on their pro rata portion of the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). These rights to demand redemption of Public Shares for cash are sometimes referred to herein as “redemption rights.” If the Business Combination is not completed, holders of public shares electing to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to receive such payments and their shares of Common Stock will be returned to them.

Q:     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:     If you are a Public Stockholder desiring to exercise your redemption rights in respect of your Public Shares, you must complete the following steps no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, two business days before the Special Meeting: (i) submit your request that TDAC redeem your shares into cash in writing to Continental, at the address listed at the end of this section, and (ii) deliver your shares to Continental physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) System.

Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by Continental prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is two business days before the Special Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s Public Shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) by the deadline for redemption requests.

Public Stockholders may seek to have their Public Shares redeemed regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination and whether or not they are holders of Common Stock as of the Record Date.

The actual per share redemption price will be equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (before payment of deferred underwriting commissions owed to Chardan, and including interest earned on their pro rata portion of the Trust Account, net of taxes payable), divided by the number of Public Shares. Please see the section entitled “The TDAC Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to exercise your right to have your Public Shares redeemed for cash.

Q:     What is the maximum number of Public Shares that can be redeemed that will meet the condition for the closing of the Business Combination that TDAC have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets remaining immediately after the closing?

A:     The maximum number of Public Shares that can be redeemed that will meet the condition for the closing of the Business Combination that TDAC have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets remaining immediately after the closing is 2,654,700 shares.

Q:     How can I vote?

A:     If you are a stockholder as of the Record Date, you may vote online at the virtual Special Meeting or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card or the Internet. Whether or not you plan to participate in the Special Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. Even if you have already voted by proxy, you may still attend the virtual Meeting and vote online, if you choose.

To vote online at the virtual Special Meeting, follow the instructions above under “How do I attend the Special Meeting?”

To vote using the proxy card, please complete, sign and date the proxy card and return it in the prepaid envelope. If you return your signed proxy card before the Special Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

To vote via the Internet, please go to https://www.cstproxy.com/tridentacquisitions/2021, and follow the instructions. Please have your proxy card handy when you go to the website. Easy-to-follow prompts will allow you to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

Table of Contents

Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on [_], 2021. After that, Internet voting will be closed, and if you want to vote your shares, you will either need to ensure that your proxy card is received before the date of the Special Meeting or attend the virtual Special Meeting to vote your shares online.

If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you are the “beneficial owner” of those shares and those shares are considered as held in “street name.” If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than directly from us. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. You may be eligible to vote your shares electronically over the Internet or by telephone. A large number of banks and brokerage firms offer Internet and telephone voting. If your bank or brokerage firm does not offer Internet or telephone voting information, please complete and return your proxy card in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided.

If you are the “beneficial owner” of Common Stock and you plan to vote those shares at the virtual Special Meeting, you will need to contact Continental at the phone number or email below to receive a control number and you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee reflecting the number of shares of common stock you held as of the Record Date, your name and email address.

You must contact Continental for specific instructions on how to receive the control number. Please allow up to 48 hours prior to the Special Meeting for processing your control number.

After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to attend the Special Meeting, you must submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of your shares along with your name and email address to Continental. Requests for registration should be directed to 917-262-2373 or email proxy@continentalstock.com. Requests for registration must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [_], 2021.

You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials. We encourage you to access the Special Meeting prior to the start time leaving ample time for the check in.

Q:     What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:     In the event that a U.S. Holder elects to redeem its Common Stock for cash, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as sale or exchange of the Common Stock under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code. Whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange or is treated as a distribution will depend on the facts and circumstances of each particular U.S. Holder at the time such U.S. Holder exercises his, her, or its redemption right. If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the Common Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as recognizing capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Common Stock surrendered in such redemption transaction. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Stock redeemed exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — U.S. Holders — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Common Stock of Exercising Redemption Rights” for a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a U.S. Holder electing to redeem its Common Stock for cash.

Q:     Will U.S. Holders of Lottery.com Shares or Lottery.com warrants be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the Common Stock or Public Warrants received in the Business Combination?

A:     Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — U.S. Holders — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Lottery.com securities” below, the Business Combination is generally intended to be tax-deferred to U.S. Holders (as defined in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”) of Lottery.com Shares or Lottery.com warrants for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to you in respect of the Business Combination are discussed in more detail in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” The discussion of the U.S. federal

income tax consequences contained in this proxy statement/prospectus is intended to provide only a general discussion and is not a complete analysis or description of all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that are applicable to you in respect of the Business Combination, nor does it address any tax considerations arising under U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax laws.

Q:     Who can help answer any other questions I might have about the virtual Special Meeting?

A:     If you have any questions concerning the virtual Special Meeting or need help voting your shares of Common Stock, please contact Continental at 917-262-2373 or email proxy@continentalstock.com or Morrow Sodali LLC at Toll Free: (800) 662-5200; Collect: (203) 658-9400); or by email at TDAC.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

The Notice of Special Meeting, Proxy Statement and form of Proxy Card are available at: https://www.cstproxy.com/tridentacquisitions/2021.

Q:     If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or nominee, will they automatically vote my shares for me?

A:     No. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other holder of record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to any Proposal for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. If a proposal is determined to be discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is permitted to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. If a proposal is determined to be non-discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is not permitted to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a non-discretionary proposal because the holder of record has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

Each of the Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting is a non-discretionary proposal. Since none of the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting are routine matters for which brokers may have discretionary authority to vote, there can be no broker non-votes at the Special Meeting. Consequently, failure to provide instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote will result in your shares not being counted as represented for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Special Meeting.

Q:     What if I abstain from voting or fail to instruct my bank, brokerage firm or nominee?

A:     TDAC will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular Proposal as present for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. For purposes of approval, an abstention on any Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such Proposal.

Q:     If I have not yet submitted a proxy, may I still do so?

A:     Yes. If you have not yet submitted a proxy, you may do so by (i) emailing TDAC.info@investor.morrowsodali.com, or (ii) calling toll-free (800) 662-5200 (standard rates apply) from any touch-tone phone and follow the instructions (have your proxy card available when you call), or (iii) submitting your proxy card by mail by using the previously provided self-addressed, stamped envelope.

Q:     Who will solicit the proxies and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting?

A:     TDAC will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. TDAC has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. TDAC has agreed to pay Morrow Sodali LLC a fee of $17,500, plus disbursements, and will reimburse Morrow Sodali LLC for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Morrow Sodali LLC and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses. TDAC will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Common Stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of the Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Q:     What happens if I sell my shares before the Special Meeting?

A:     The Record Date for the Special Meeting is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting, as well as the date that the Business Combination is expected to be consummated. If you transfer your shares of Common Stock after the Record Date, but before the Special Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting, but will transfer ownership of the shares and will not hold an interest in TDAC after the Business Combination is consummated.

Q:     When is the Business Combination expected to occur?

A:     Assuming the requisite regulatory and stockholder approvals are received and subject to the satisfaction or waiver (if legally permitted) of the other Closing conditions, TDAC expects that the Business Combination will occur as soon as possible following the Special Meeting. For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Closing of the Business Combination — Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination.”

Q:     When is the deadline to consummate the Business Combination?

A:     If TDAC does not consummate the Business Combination by September 1, 2021 (unless such date has been extended as described herein) then pursuant to Article VI of its Current Charter, TDAC’s officers must take all actions necessary in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law to dissolve and liquidate TDAC as soon as reasonably practicable.

TDAC’s IPO prospectus and original charter provided that TDAC initially had until December 1, 2019 to complete its initial business combination. At TDAC’s 2019 Annual Meeting held on November 26, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Meeting”), TDAC’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend TDAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the time by which TDAC was required to complete a business combination two (2) times for an additional three months each time.

At a special meeting of TDAC stockholders held on May 28, 2020 (the “May 2020 Special Meeting”), TDAC stockholders approved a proposal to amend TDAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation a second time to extend the time by which TDAC was required to complete a business combination by an additional three months, or until September 1, 2020.

At a special meeting of TDAC stockholders held on August 28, 2020 (the “August 2020 Special Meeting”), TDAC stockholders approved a proposal to amend TDAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation a third time to extend the time by which TDAC was required to complete a business combination by an additional three months, or until December 1, 2020.

On November 30, 2020, TDAC held its 2020 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) at which TDAC stockholders approved a proposal to amend TDAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation a fourth time to extend the date by which TDAC had to complete a business combination for an additional three months to March 1, 2021, with an ability to further extend for an additional three months to June 1, 2021, if approved by the Board.

On May 27, 2021, TDAC held a special meeting of stockholders (the “2021 Special Meeting”), pursuant to which TDAC stockholders approved a proposal to amend TDAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation a fifth time to extend the date by which TDAC had to complete a business combination to September 1, 2021, with an ability to further extend for an additional three months to December 1, 2021, if approved by the Board.

Q:     What is the current number of TDAC public shares outstanding following redemptions in connection with the multiple extensions to the deadline to consummate a Business Combination?

A:     As of September 17, 2021, following stockholder redemptions in connection with the 2019 Annual Meeting, the May 2020 Special Meeting, the August 2020 Special Meeting, the 2020 Annual Meeting and the 2021 Special Meeting, the number of shares of TDAC’s common stock outstanding is 11,967,605.

Q:     What was the original amount deposited in the Trust Account following the TDAC IPO and what is the current balance of the Trust Account following the redemptions in connection with the multiple extensions to the deadline to consummate a Business Combination?

A:     After deducting the underwriting fee (excluding the deferred underwriting commission of $5,031,250, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Business Combination) and the IPO expenses, the total net proceeds from TDAC’s IPO and the concurrent sale of Private Units was $206,679,386, of which $205,275,000 (or $10.20 per Unit sold in the IPO) was placed in the Trust Account. The funds in the Trust Account have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act with invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

As of September 7, 2021, following stockholder redemptions in connection with the 2019 Annual Meeting, the May 2020 Special Meeting, the August 2020 Special Meeting, the 2020 Annual Meeting and the 2021 Special Meeting, TDAC had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $63,536,054.32. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used to pay taxes.

Q:     Is TDAC in compliance with listing standards of Nasdaq for special purpose acquisition companies?

A:     On June 3, 2021, Mr. Komissarov received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq Notice”) stating that TDAC was not in compliance with Listing Rule IM-5101-2 (the “Rule”), which requires that a special purpose acquisition company complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection with its IPO. The Rule also provides that failure to comply with this requirement will result in the Listing Qualifications Department issuing a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. On June 21, 2021, Nasdaq notified TDAC that it had failed to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021, which served as an additional basis for delisting the TDAC’s securities from Nasdaq, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(A). On June 30, 2021, Nasdaq issued a moot letter concerning the filing delinquency, since TDAC had filed its Form 10-Q and had thus regained compliance with Rule 5810(c)(2)(A).

In connection with the Nasdaq Notice, TDAC requested a hearing before an independent Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which had the effect of staying the delisting process. The hearing was held on July 8, 2021. The Panel granted TDAC’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq subject to the condition that TDAC completes its Business Combination on or before October 29, 2021, and evidence compliance with all initial listing standards as required under Nasdaq’s listings qualifications rules.

Q:     Are Lottery.com Shareholders required to approve the Business Combination?

A:     Yes. The approval of the Lottery.com Shareholders will be required to consummate the Business Combination.

Q:     Are there risks associated with the Business Combination that I should consider in deciding how to vote?

A:     Yes. There are a number of risks related to the Business Combination and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, which are discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus. Please read with particular care the detailed description of the risks described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 21 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:     What is the impact on non-redeeming Public Stockholders of past stockholder redemptions and stockholder redemptions in connection with the vote on the Business Combination Proposal?

A:     Public Stockholders who convert their stock into a pro rata share of the Trust Account retain their Public Warrants. As a result, there will be a substantial number of shares of common stock that will be issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, thus providing investors and potential investors in the Combined Company with less certainty as to the Company’s capital structure.

The TDAC stockholders who redeemed their shares of common stock in connection with the 2019 Annual Meeting, the May 2020 Special Meeting, the August 2020 Special Meeting, the 2020 Annual Meeting and the 2021 Special Meeting still retain an aggregate of 14,338,645 Public Warrants, which had an aggregate value of $27,100,039 based on the closing price of the Public Warrants on August 11, 2021. If Public Stockholders holding 3,653,137 of the Public Shares exercise their redemption rights for their pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account in connection with the Business Combination Proposal, such Public Stockholders could retain up to an aggregate of 3,653,137 Public Warrants, with an aggregate value of $6,904,429 based on the closing price of the Public Warrants on August 11, 2021. For additional information, see the section entitled “Summary — Dilution.”

Q:     May I seek statutory appraisal rights or dissenter rights with respect to my shares?

A:     No. Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the proposed Business Combination. For additional information, see the section entitled “The TDAC Special Meeting — Appraisal Rights.

Q:     What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A:     If TDAC does not consummate the Business Combination by September 1, 2021 (unless such date has been extended as described herein) then pursuant to Article VI of its Current Charter, TDAC’s officers must take all actions necessary in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law to dissolve and liquidate TDAC as soon as reasonably practicable. Following dissolution, TDAC will no longer exist as a company. In any

liquidation, the funds held in the Trust Account, plus any interest earned thereon (net of taxes payable), together with any remaining out-of-trust net assets, will be distributed pro-rata to holders of Public Shares. The estimated consideration that each share of Common Stock would be paid at liquidation would be approximately $10.94 per share based on amounts on deposit in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2021. The closing price of the Common Stock on Nasdaq as of June 29, 2021 was $12.06. The Initial Stockholders waived the right to any liquidation distribution with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by them.

Q:     What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account following the Business Combination?

A:     Following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of Public Shares exercising their redemption rights will receive their per share redemption price out of the funds in the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2021, there was $63,286,019.55 in the Trust Account. TDAC estimates that investors validly exercising their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination will receive approximately $10.94 per share. The balance of the funds will be released to Lottery.com to fund working capital needs of the Combined Company.

Q:     Who will manage the Combined Company after the Business Combination?

A:     In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, all of the officers and directors of TDAC will resign and Tony DiMatteo will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Matt Clemenson will be appointed as Chief Commercial Officer, and Ryan Dickinson will be appointed as the President & Chief Operating Officer. In addition, each of Mr. DiMatteo and Mr. Clemson have been nominated to serve as directors of the Combined Company along with Steven Cohen, Joseph E. Kaminkow and [ ]. For information on the anticipated management of the Combined Company, see the section entitled “Combined Company Management and Governance After the Business Combination — Executive Officers and Directors After the Business Combination” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Terms of the Business Combination

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, at the Closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into Lottery.com, with Lottery.com as the surviving company, continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDAC following the Merger, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the required consent of the Lottery.com Shareholders, each share of preferred stock of Lottery.com that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall convert into shares of common stock of Lottery.com (the “Lottery.com Shares”) immediately prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any other person, each Lottery.com Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (which includes the shares of preferred stock of Lottery.com that have been converted into Lottery.com Shares but not including any treasury shares or dissenting shares) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. “Per Share Merger Consideration” means the quotient obtained by dividing (a) 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, as may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement by (b) the aggregate number of Lottery.com Shares. The aggregate share consideration of 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the amount by which Net Indebtedness exceeds $10,000,000, as mutually agreed between TDAC and Lottery.com (each acting reasonably), divided by (ii) 11.00. “Net Indebtedness” means the amount equal to Lottery.com’s indebtedness, less cash and cash equivalents. For the avoidance of doubt, Lottery.com’s indebtedness shall not include current liabilities or any intercompany Indebtedness between or among Lottery.com and any of its subsidiaries. With respect to the Lottery.com Shares that are unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, the shares of Common Stock issued as Per Share Merger Consideration upon the cancellation and conversion of such Lottery.com Shares shall be subject to the same vesting and termination-related provisions as that applied to such Lottery.com Shares. The aggregate value of the consideration to be paid by TDAC in the Business Combination (excluding the Seller Earnout Shares) is approximately $440 million (calculated as follows: 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Sellers, multiplied by $11.00). Upon the Closing, TDAC will change its name to “Lottery.com.”

The Sellers will also be entitled to receive the Seller Earnout Shares that may be issuable from time to time as set forth below. Additionally, the Founder Holders will also be entitled to receive the Founder Holders Earnout Shares that may be issuable from time to time as set forth below.

If, at any time on or prior to December 31, 2021, (i) the dollar volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing, or (ii) if the Combined Company consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of the Combined Company having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $13.00 per share, each Seller shall receive its pro rata portion of 3,000,000 Seller Earnout Shares and each Founder Holder shall receive one-third of 2,000,000 Founder Holders Earnout Shares.

If, at any time on or prior to December 31, 2022, (i) the dollar volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing, or (ii) if the Combined Company consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of the Combined Company having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $16.00 per share, each Seller shall receive its pro rata portion of 3,000,000 Seller Earnout Shares and each Founder Holder shall receive one-third of 2,000,000 Founder Holders Earnout Shares.

The Seller Earnout Shares then earned and issuable shall be issued to the Sellers on a pro-rata basis based on the percentage of the aggregate share consideration received, or entitled to be received, by such person as of immediately following the Closing.

At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Lottery.com Shares (a “Lottery.com Option”) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by TDAC, and will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms and, to the extent applicable, holding period restrictions) as applied to such Lottery.com Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for administrative changes that are not adverse to the holder (each, an “Assumed Option”) except that (i) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Assumed Option will be determined by multiplying the number of Lottery.com Shares subject to such Lottery.com Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Per Share Merger Consideration, which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, and (ii) the per share exercise price of such Assumed Option will be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of such Lottery.com Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Per Share Merger Consideration, which quotient shall be rounded up to the nearest

full cent; provided, however, that the assumption of the Lottery.com Options will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that such assumption will not constitute a “modification” of such Lottery.com Options for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any person, each warrant to purchase Lottery.com Shares (each, a “Lottery.com Warrant”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and has not been terminated pursuant to its terms will automatically become a warrant exercisable for shares of Common Stock (a “Trident Consideration Warrant”) on the same terms and conditions as applied to the Lottery.com Warrants; provided, that, as of the Effective Time, each Trident Consideration Warrant shall become exercisable for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Lottery.com Shares (on an as converted to common stock basis) subject to the applicable Lottery.com Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Per Share Merger Consideration, which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, at a per share exercise price determined by dividing the per share exercise price of such Lottery.com Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Per Share Merger Consideration, which quotient shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

At the Effective Time, each convertible promissory note issued by Lottery.com that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and has not been converted or terminated pursuant to its terms, if any, will continue to remain in full force and effect on its terms after the Closing.

Other Agreements Relating to the Business Combination

Initial Stockholder Forfeiture Agreement

Simultaneously with the Closing, the Initial Stockholders, TDAC and Lottery.com will enter into an Initial Stockholder Forfeiture Agreement in a form to be mutually agreed upon by TDAC, Lottery.com and the Initial Stockholders, each acting reasonably (the “Initial Stockholder Forfeiture Agreement”). Pursuant to the Initial Stockholder Forfeiture Agreement, the Initial Stockholders will forfeit for no consideration all of the 1,150,000 Private Warrants they hold and a minimum of 561,932 shares of Common Stock. Further, to the extent the amount in the Trust Account at Closing is reduced to an amount below 70% of amount in the Trust Account as a result of redemptions, the Initial Stockholders will forfeit for no consideration such number of shares of Common Stock to be set forth in such Initial Stockholder Forfeiture Agreement, up to a maximum forfeiture of 3,090,625 shares. Effective upon the Closing, the Initial Stockholders shall be automatically deemed to have irrevocably transferred to TDAC, surrendered, and forfeited for no consideration all of the 1,150,000 Private Warrants and the shares of Common Stock specified in the Initial Stockholder Forfeiture Agreement, and such Public Warrants and shares of Common Stock shall, by virtue of the Merger, be deemed to have been canceled and extinguished.

Investor Rights Agreement

Simultaneously with the Closing, TDAC, Lottery.com, the Founder Holders and certain existing stockholders of Lottery.com (collectively, the “Stockholder Parties”) will enter into an Investor Rights Agreement in a form to be mutually agreed upon by TDAC and Lottery.com, each acting reasonably (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, such parties will agree to vote or cause to be voted all shares owned by them from time to time that may be voted in the election of TDAC directors, and shall cause their director designees, to ensure that (i) the size of the Board is set and remains at five directors, (ii) four persons nominated by the Lottery.com stockholders and one person nominated by the TDAC stockholders are elected to the Board, and (iii) no member of the Board is removed without the approval of the stockholders entitled to designate such director.

Disqualified Holders

Each member of the Stockholder Parties acknowledges and agrees to the application of the provisions concerning regulatory compliance contained in the Proposed Charter, which will be applicable to all holders of common stock or other equity securities of the Combined Company. TDAC is asking its stockholders to approve the provisions concerning regulatory compliance contained in the Proposed Charter by approving the adoption of the Proposed Charter, in the form attached hereto as Annex B-1, pursuant to the Charter Proposal. Pursuant to such regulatory compliance provisions, any shares of capital stock, bonds, notes, convertible debentures, options, warrants or other instruments that represent a share of equity of the Combined Company, a debt owed by the Combined Company or the right to acquire any of the foregoing (for purposes of this section, the “Securities”), owned or controlled by

any person who is a Disqualified Holder (as defined below) will subject to redemption by the Combined Company, out of funds legally available therefor, by action of the Combined Company’s board of directors, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Combined Company’s board of directors, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Charter.

A Disqualified Holder is any record or beneficial holder of the Combined Company’s securities or an affiliate thereof who or that (i) fails or refuses to participate in good faith in an investigative process of, or submit documents, give notices or make filings requested or required by, any regulatory authority, (ii) is denied or disqualified by any regulatory authority from receiving or holding any regulatory approval, (iii) is determined by a regulatory authority or by the Combined Company’s board of directors, based on advice of counsel or verifiable information received from any regulatory authority, to be disqualified or unsuitable to own or control any securities or to be associated or affiliated in any capacity with the Combined Company, its affiliates, or the lottery business in any applicable jurisdiction, (iv) causes the Combined Company or any of its affiliates to lose or to be threatened with the loss of any regulatory approval, or (v) is deemed likely by the Combined Company’s board of directors, based on advice of counsel or verifiable information received from any regulatory authority, by virtue of such person’s ownership or control of securities or association or affiliation with the Combined Company or its affiliates, to jeopardize, impede, impair or adversely affect the ability of the Combined Company’s or any of its affiliates to obtain, maintain, hold, use or retain any regulatory approval or to cause or result in the suspension, disapproval, termination, non-renewal or loss of any regulatory approval. For more information, please see “Description of Securities — Redemption Rights with Respect to Capital Stock Held by Disqualified Holders and Their Affiliates.”

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the proposed Business Combination under Delaware law.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Current Charter, holders of Public Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (net of taxes payable), by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding Public Shares. As of June 30, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.94 per share.

You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)     (a)     hold Public Shares, or

(b)    hold Public Shares through TDAC Units and you elect to separate your TDAC Units into the underlying Public Shares prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and

(ii)    prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [_], 2021, (a) submit a written request to Continental that TDAC redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver your Public Shares to Continental, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders of outstanding TDAC Units must separate the underlying shares of Common Stock prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the shares. If the TDAC Units are registered in a holder’s own name, the holder must deliver the certificate for its TDAC Units to Continental, with written instructions to separate the TDAC Units into their individual component parts. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the certificates back to the holder so that the holder may then exercise his, her or its redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the TDAC Units.

If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own shares of the Combined Company. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to Continental in accordance with the procedures described herein and the Business Combination is completed. Please see the section titled “The TDAC Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

Interests of TDAC’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

Certain of TDAC’s directors and executive officers may be deemed to have interests in the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement that are different from, or in addition to, those of TDAC’s stockholders generally. These interests may present these individuals with certain potential conflicts of interest. Our independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during their evaluation and negotiation of the Business Combination and in unanimously approving, as members of the Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination (as described in the section entitled “Proposal No.1 — The Business Combination Proposal – The Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” beginning on page 89). The Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected the Company and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination.

When you consider the recommendation of the Board in favor of adoption of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals, you should keep in mind that TDAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder, including:

•        If a proposed Business Combination is not completed by September 1, 2021 (unless such date has been extended pursuant to the Current Charter), TDAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate. In such event:

•        the 5,031,250 Founder Shares currently held by the Initial Stockholders, which were acquired prior to the IPO will be worthless because such holders have agreed to waive their rights to any liquidation distributions. Such shares of Common Stock had an aggregate market value of approximately $60,676,875 based on the closing price of the Common Stock of $12.06 on Nasdaq as of June 29, 2021; and

•        the cash contributions made by TDAC or its insiders into the Trust Account in connection with the charter amendments to extend the date by which TDAC has to complete a business combination would not be repaid. As of September 17, 2021, an aggregate amount of approximately $3,409,102.35 had been incurred by the Initial Stockholders in respect of such cash contributions and additional amounts may be incurred if TDAC further extends the deadline for the completion of an initial business combination in accordance with the terms of the Current Charter. If the Company does not consummate the Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders will not recoup the value of the cash contributions they made to the Trust Account, which will be included in the distributions to TDAC’s Public Stockholders upon the liquidation of the Trust Account, and, therefore, the Initial Stockholders may have a conflict of interest in determining whether the Business Combination is appropriate. Consequently, TDAC’s directors’ and officers’ (each of whom is an Initial Stockholder) discretion in identifying and selecting Lottery.com as a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of the Business Combination are appropriate and in TDAC’s Public Stockholders’ best interest.

•        TDAC’s executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on TDAC’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations (including the Business Combination). As of September 17, 2021, an aggregate amount of approximately $5,075,000 had been incurred or accrued in respect of such expense reimbursement obligation. TDAC expects additional amounts not to exceed $500,000 to be incurred or accrued through the consummation of the Business Combination.

•        If the proposed Business Combination is not completed by September 1, 2021 (unless such date has been extended pursuant to the Current Charter), the 1,150,000 Private Units purchased for a total purchase price of $11,500,000, will be worthless. Such Private Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $17,825,000, based on the closing price of TDAC’s Units of $15.50 on Nasdaq as of June 29, 2021;

•        If the Business Combination is completed, the Founder Holders will be entitled to receive up to 4,000,000 Founder Holders Earnout Shares that may be issuable from time to time as set forth below:

•        If, at any time on or prior to December 31, 2021, (i) the dollar volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing, or (ii) if the Combined Company consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of the Combined Company having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $13.00 per share, each Founder Holder shall receive one-third of 2,000,000 Founder Holders Earnout Shares, having an aggregate market value of at least $26,000,000.

•        If, at any time on or prior to December 31, 2022, (i) the dollar volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing, or (ii) if the Combined Company consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of the Combined Company having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $16.00 per share, each Founder Holder shall receive one-third of 2,000,000 Founder Holders Earnout Shares, having an aggregate market value of at least $32,000,000;

•        The Initial Stockholders will benefit from the completion of a Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate.

•        Given the differential in purchase price that the Initial Stockholders paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of the TDAC Units sold in the IPO and the substantial number of shares of TDAC common stock that will be issued in connection with the Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders may realize a positive rate of return on such investments even if the Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return following the Business Combination.

•        The exercise of TDAC’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes or waivers are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest.

Interests of Lottery.com’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Board in favor of adoption of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals, you should keep in mind that Lottery.com’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder, including:

•        If the Business Combination is completed, Lottery.com stockholders will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the Combined Company’s board of directors following such completion and one TDAC director will be designated by the Initial Stockholders pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement.

•        Certain of Lottery.com’s executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from your interests as a stockholder, including (i) employment agreement provisions (including severance protection) that will go into effect upon the consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) ownership interests in Lottery.com that will convert into common stock of the Combined Company as a result of the Business Combination, and (iii) expected grants of equity awards covering Combined Company Common Stock that will be granted following the consummation of the Business Combination, all as discussed further below under “Lottery.com Executive Compensation — Compensation Arrangements for 2021.

Dilution

The following table illustrates the dilution of voting interests of Public Stockholders who elect not to redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the following:

•        All the Founder Holders Earnout Shares and the Seller Earnout Shares are issued if, at any time on or prior to December 31, 2022, the dollar volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing;

•        The cash exercise of the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share; and

•        The cashless exercise of the unit purchase option granted to the underwriters in connection the IPO at a price of $16.00 per Unit.

Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting TDAC will be treated as the “acquired” company and Lottery.com will be treated as the “acquirer” for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that, subsequent to the Business Combination, Lottery.com’s stockholders are expected to have a majority of the voting power of the Combined Company, Lottery.com’s operations prior to the Business Combination will comprise all of the ongoing operations of the Combined Company, the Combined Company’s board of directors will consist of up to five directors, four of

whom will be designated by Lottery.com and one of whom will be designated by TDAC, and Lottery.com’s senior management will comprise all of the senior management of the Combined Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Combined Company will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Lottery.com, with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Lottery.com issuing stock for the net assets of TDAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of TDAC will be stated at historical costs. No goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Lottery.com.

Regulatory Approvals

Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which we refer to as the HSR Act, and the related rules and regulations issued by the Federal Trade Commission, which we refer to as the FTC, certain transactions, including the Business Combination, may not be consummated until notifications have been given and specified information and documentary material have been furnished to the FTC and the United States Department of Justice, which we refer to as the DOJ, and the applicable waiting periods have expired or been terminated. The completion of the Business Combination is conditioned upon the expiration or early termination of the HSR Act waiting period, which occurred on April 5, 2021.

Summary of Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a description of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination, the exercise of redemption rights in respect of shares of Common Stock and the ownership and disposition of Common Stock and Public Warrants, please see the information set forth in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” beginning on page 122.

Recommendations of the Board and Reasons for the Business Combination

After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Board has determined that the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, TDAC and its stockholders. In reaching its decision with respect to the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Board reviewed various industry and financial data and the materials provided by Lottery.com. The Board did not obtain a fairness opinion on which to base its assessment. The Board recommends that TDAC stockholders vote:

•        FOR the Business Combination Proposal;

•        FOR the Charter Proposal;

•        FOR the Advisory Charter Proposals;

•        FOR the Nasdaq Proposal;

•        FOR each director nominee;

•        FOR the Equity Plan Proposal; and

•        FOR the Adjournment Proposal.
