Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
On July 27, 2011, Jonathan J. Ledecky converted the $10,000 principal amount of a promissory note issued to Mr. Ledecky by Ascend Acquisition Corp. (the Company)  on July 19, 2011 and the $25,000 principal amount of a note issued to Mr. Ledecky by the Company on March 30, 2011 into an aggregate of 175,000 shares of common stock of the Company (at a conversion price of $0.20 per share).  The March 30, 2011 note had a conversion price of $0.19 per share but was voluntarily converted by Mr. Ledecky into common stock at $0.20 per share.  The issuance of shares to Mr. Ledecky was exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
Also on July 27, 2011, the Company sold an aggregate of 625,000 shares of common stock to Jeremy Zimmer, the Dakota Group Ltd. and Evan Morgan, for an aggregate purchase price of $125,000, or $0.20 per share, pursuant to subscription agreements.  The common stock was sold to these three purchasers under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a private placement basis to accredited investors. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sales for general working capital purposes.
 
The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the private placement and issued upon conversion of the promissory notes promptly after consummation by the Company of a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition or other form of business combination and to use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as possible.
