Important Information about the Business Combination and Where to Find It

Codere Online Luxembourg, S.A. ("Holdco"), Servicios de Juego Online, S.A.U. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Codere Online"), DD3 Acquisition Corp. II ("DD3") and the other parties thereto have entered into a business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") that provides for DD3 and Codere Online to become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdco (the "Proposed Business Combination"). In connection with the Proposed Business Combination, a registration statement on Form F-4 (the "Form F-4") has been filed by Holdco with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that includes a preliminary proxy statement relating to DD3's solicitation of proxies from DD3's stockholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination and other matters described in the Form F-4, as well as a preliminary prospectus of Holdco relating to the offer of the securities to be issued in connection with the completion of the Proposed Business Combination. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE FORM F-4 AND OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. After the Form F-4 has been declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to DD3's stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Proposed Business Combination. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of such documents, without charge, once available, at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Codere Online Luxembourg, S.A., 7 rue Robert Stümper, L-2557 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

INVESTMENT IN ANY SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS ANY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THE OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Forward-Looking Statements

Codere cautions that this report may contain forward looking statements with respect to the business, financial condition, results of operations, strategy, plans and objectives of the Codere Group. While these forward looking statements represent our judgment and future expectations concerning the development of our business, a certain number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from our expectations. These factors include, but are not limited to, (1) general market, macroeconomic, governmental, political and regulatory trends; (2) movements in local and international securities markets, currency exchange rate and interest rates; (3) competitive pressures; (4) technical developments; (5) changes in the financial position or credit worthiness of our customers, obligors and counterparts. These and other risk factors published in our past and future filings and reports, including those with the Spanish Securities and Exchange Commission ("CNMV") and available to the public both in Codere's website (www.codere.com) and in the CNMV's website (www.cnmv.es), as well as other risk factors currently unknown or not foreseeable, which may be beyond Codere's control, could adversely affect our business and financial performance and cause actual results to differ materially from those implied in the forward-looking statements.

Additionally, this report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this report, including any statements as to Holdco's, Codere Online's, DD3's or the combined company's future results of operations and financial position, planned products and services, business strategy and plans, objectives of management for future operations, market size and potential growth opportunities, competitive position, expectations and timings related to commercial launches or the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, potential benefits of the Proposed Business Combination and PIPE investments, technological and market trends and other future conditions, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Holdco's, Codere Online's, DD3's and the combined company's actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could," "should," "believe," "predict," "likely," "potential," "continue," and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Holdco's, Codere Online's and DD3's expectations with respect to the timing of the completion of the Proposed Business Combination.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and potentially adversely, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside Holdco's, Codere Online's and DD3's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Holdco, Codere Online and/or DD3 following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the Proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of DD3's stockholders, certain regulatory approvals, or satisfy other closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement; (4) the occurrence of any other event, change, or other circumstance that could cause the Proposed Business Combination to fail to close; (5) the impact of COVID-19 on Codere Online's business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Proposed Business Combination; (6) the inability to obtain and/or maintain the listing of Holdco's ordinary shares or warrants on NASDAQ following the Proposed Business Combination; (7) the risk that the Proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Codere Online and the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, and retain its key employees; (9) costs related to the Proposed Business Combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the amount of redemptions by DD3's stockholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination; and (12) the possibility that Holdco, Codere Online or DD3 may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is contained in DD3's most recent filings with the SEC and the Form F-4, and, after the Form F-4 has been declared effective by the SEC, will be contained in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be mailed to DD3's stockholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Holdco, DD3, Codere Online, the combined company, the Proposed Business Combination or other matters and attributable to Holdco, Codere Online or DD3 or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Each of Holdco, Codere Online and DD3 expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in their expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law.

No Offer or Solicitation

This report is not a proxy statement and does not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Proposed Business Combination. This report also does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities will be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.

Participants in the Solicitation

Holdco, Codere Online and DD3 and their respective directors, executive officers and other members of their management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of DD3's stockholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. Information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of DD3's directors and executive officers is set forth in the final prospectus for DD3's initial public offering filed with the SEC on December 10, 2020, as well as in other documents DD3 has filed with the SEC. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of DD3's stockholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination is set forth in the Form F-4. Information concerning the interests of Holdco's, Codere Online's and DD3's participants in the solicitation, which may, in some cases, be different than those of Holdco's, Codere Online's and DD3's equity holders generally, is also set forth in the Form F-4. Shareholders, potential investors and other interested persons should read carefully the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the Form F-4, and, when it becomes available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, before making any voting or investment decisions. You may obtain free copies of these documents, once available, from the sources indicated above.

1. Trading Update

  • Our business continued to show strength and ability to quickly recover revenues. During the third quarter of the year we returned to a full operating portfolio, and despite some closings early in the quarter and still significant restrictions in place, we achieved 68% of revenues accrued in Q3 2019.
    • Revenue recovery continues in Q4 2021 and we expect to reach above 80% of 2019 revenues in the last quarter of the year.
  • Recoveries are especially strong in Spain, Uruguay, Panama and Colombia, with Italy a step behind due to the Green Pass. Argentina is also materially recovering, but is affected by the strong devaluation and difficult macro context. Mexico, on the other hand, continues its slower growth trend, hindered by material operational restrictions and a more protracted recovery from the pandemic.
  • On October 27, Codere Online announced effectiveness of the Registration Statement in connection with the proposed business combination with DD3 Acquisition Corp. II (DD3). DD3 stockholders will vote upon the proposed business combination on November 18, 2021. Once approved by DD3's stockholders and subject to other customary closing conditions, it is currently expected that the business combination will be completed during the week following the special meeting, and Codere Online will become the first publicly-listed online gaming operator in Latin America.
  • We continue to make progress on the Restructuring Transaction we announced on April 22 (following the entering into a Lock-Up Agreement with a group of our main bondholders - the Ad-Hoc Group or "AHC"). Consent approvals where obtained in October and we are working on the implementation of the deal. The final execution date has been recently postponed to
    November 19. We expect that, upon completion of the full financial restructuring, the Shareholder's Assembly of Codere S.A. will initiate its liquidation process, which will trigger the delisting of the company from the Spanish Stock Exchange.

Accounting Implications from the Financial Restructuring: the Company has applied IFRS 5, resulting in all the assets and liabilities which are going to be transferred in the context of the Restructuring Transaction, being grouped under a single heading in our Balance Sheet (Assets/Liabilities subject to change of control), and operations presented as "Discontinued operations" in our Income Statement. As such, all the financial information contained herein, which is being provided to enable a proper understanding of our performance, should be considered proforma prior to the application of the accounting implications described above.
