On behalf of DD3 Acquisition Corp.

In response to the Comment Letter and to update certain information in the Registration Statement, the Company is filing Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”) with the Commission, today.

 

For ease of reference, the text of the Staff’s comments, as set forth in the Comment Letter, are included in bold-face type below, followed by the Company’s response.

 

Registration Statement on Form S-1

 

Summary, page 10

 

1.You disclosure here and elsewhere in your prospectus indicates that if the forward purchase investors purchase the 5,000,000 forward purchase shares under the contingent forward purchase agreements and the $20 million of public units in this offering in which they have an indicated an interest in purchasing and vote such share in favor of your initial business combination, it is possible that no votes from other public stockholders would be required to approve your initial business combination.
