DDC Enterprise Ltd. Announces the Closing of $4.8m Loan Restructuring

08/23/2024

and $1.7m private placement to bolster balance sheet

DDC Enterprise, Ltd., (NYSEAM: DDC) (“DayDayCook,” “DDC,” or the “Company”), a leading multi-brand Asian consumer food company, is pleased to announce that the Company has recapitalized its debt obligations and achieved additional funding through the sale of equity in a private placement.

DDC recently completed a transaction with ten creditors to retire $4,800,000 USD of outstanding principal and interest which was converted into Class A Ordinary shares. Additionally, four investors participated in a private placement to purchase approximately $1,700,000 USD of Class A Ordinary shares. The transactions resulted in the issuance of approximately 9,500,000 Class A Ordinary shares.

“DDC is very excited about the support demonstrated from some of our creditors that were enthusiastic about the opportunity to invest in the Company,” said Norma Chu, Chief Executive Officer. “Converting the loans and gaining additional financial support have a meaningful impact on our balance sheet and provide the Company with cash to grow our brands and fund expanded distribution channels.”

The Company expects to use the proceeds from the financing for working capital and other corporate purposes. The offer and sale of the Class A Ordinary shares were made in a transaction not involving a public offering and the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be reoffered or resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The Company reported on a Form 6-K filed with the SEC on June 21, 2024, that it had entered into agreements with the creditors and investors and that the transactions were subject to closing conditions. Those conditions have now been satisfied.
