Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
| Re: | Registration Statement on Form S-4 of Bespoke Capital Acquisition Corp. |
We have acted as Canadian counsel to Bespoke Capital Acquisition Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Corporation”), in connection with the Registration Statement (as defined below) relating to, among other things: (i) the merger of VWE Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation (“Merger Sub”), with and into Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., a California corporation (“VWE”), with VWE surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Merger”), pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement dated February 3, 2021, among the Corporation, Merger Sub, VWE and the other parties thereto (as amended, the “Transaction Agreement”); and (ii) as a condition to the effectiveness of the Merger, the proposal of the Corporation to change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Province of British Columbia to the State of Nevada (the “Domestication”), subject to requisite approvals by the shareholders of the Corporation and VWE. Following the Domestication, the Corporation will change its name to “Vintage Wine Estates, Inc.” We refer to the Merger, the Domestication and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement collectively herein as the “Transaction.” We refer to the post-Domestication Nevada entity herein as “New VWE Holdco.”
Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, among other things, (i) each then issued and outstanding Class A restricted voting share of the Corporation (each, a “Class A Restricted Voting Share”), unless previously redeemed, will be automatically converted into one share of common stock, no par value per share of New VWE Holdco (each, a “New VWE Holdco Common Share”); (ii) each then issued and outstanding Class B share of the Corporation will be automatically converted into one New VWE Holdco Common Share; and (iii) each then issued and outstanding share purchase warrant of the Corporation will automatically become exercisable, in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement (as defined below), for a New VWE Holdco Common Share (each, a “New VWE Holdco Warrant”).
As Canadian counsel to the Corporation, we have participated in the preparation of the warrant agency agreement dated August 15, 2019 (the “Warrant Agreement”) between the Corporation and TSX Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”), the Transaction Agreement and the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-254260) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), of the Corporation, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2021 (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”).
