TradeZero Holding Corp. (“TradeZero”) and its broker-dealer subsidiaries, which provide next-generation online trading platforms for active retail traders, today announced the appointment of Andrew Koslow as General Counsel.

The appointment is part of TradeZero’s plans to expand its C-suite, as it transitions to a public company. As previously announced, TradeZero signed a definitive agreement on October 12, 2021 with Dune Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: DUNE, DUNEW, DUNEU) (“Dune”), a special purpose acquisition corporation, which would result in TradeZero becoming a publicly traded company under the name “TradeZero Global Inc.”

Mr. Koslow’s professional experience is focused on securities law and regulation as it relates to publicly traded companies, retail and institutional broker-dealers, clearing firms, crypto asset trading and fintech. Prior to TradeZero, among other positions, Mr. Koslow was Executive Vice President-Strategic Transactions and General Counsel at Folio Financial, a digital wealth management platform acquired by Goldman Sachs. Mr. Koslow also has served as Chief Administrative Officer at Cantor Fitzgerald, Executive Vice President-Strategic Transactions and General Counsel at Penson Worldwide and Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel of D.E. Shaw Financial Technology. He earned his juris doctor degree at New York University and holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University.

“Andy has a depth of experience and knowledge that we are very lucky to have at TradeZero,” said Daniel Pipitone, CEO and co-founder. “He knows and understands the legal aspects of every part of our business and plans for growth. He is another key addition to our great team.”

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts TradeZero’s current plans and operations; (ii) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of TradeZero to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (iii) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (iv) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (v) the possibility that Dune or TradeZero may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (vi) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Dune or TradeZero following the announcement of the merger agreement; (viii) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Dune or TradeZero, certain regulatory approvals or satisfy other conditions to closing in the merger agreement; (ix) the impact of COVID-19 on TradeZero’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the proposed Business Combination; (x) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the post-business combination entity’s shares of common stock on a national securities exchange following the proposed Business Combination; or (xi) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Proxy Statement relating to the proposed Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in Dune’s or TradeZero’s other filings with the SEC. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of Dune’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 21, 2021, and the Proxy Statement discussed above and other documents filed by Dune from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and TradeZero and Dune assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
