Between October 6, 2015 and March 7, 2016, Algodon Wines & Luxury Development Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued 1,018,426 shares of its common stock at a price of $2.50 per share to accredited investors in a private placement transaction for gross proceeds of $2,546,065. Commissions in the form of cash of $254,606.50 and 101,843 warrants to purchase common stock at $2.50 per share were paid to DPEC Capital, Inc., the Company’s registered broker dealer subsidiary in connection with these share issuances. DPEC Capital, Inc., in turn, awarded such warrants to its registered representatives. The investors and registered representatives all had sufficient knowledge and experience in financial, investment and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Company and able to bear the risk of loss. For this sale of securities, the Company relied on the exemption from registration available under Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act with respect to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. No general solicitation was used in this offering. A Form D was filed on October 8, 2015.

On January 20, 2016, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) cleared the request to submit quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board and in OTC Link by Glendale Securities, Inc. of Sherman Oaks, California. The Form 211 must be approved by FINRA in order to initiate quotations for a security on the OTC Markets or any similar quotation medium. On March 7, 2016, all requirements were deemed to have been satisfied, so the Company was approved for quotation and began trading on the OTCQB marketplace.
