While all projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, VWE believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying projected, expected or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those mentioned in the immediately preceding paragraph, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such projections, estimates and targets. The inclusion of projections, estimates and targets in this presentation should not be regarded as an indication that VWE, BCAC or their respective representatives considered or consider such financial projections, estimates and targets to be a reliable prediction of future events.

Dear [Investor],
We wanted to make you aware that Wasatch last night agreed to buy 10 million of our common shares at $10.00 per share. We think that this is a significant step as we move into the final stages of the deSPAC process with our merger partner Vintage Wine Estates.
Some key points on the investment from our perspective:
• | Wasatch is a very high-quality, long-term investor and we are delighted to have them as an even more significant shareholder |
• | The $100m common stock investment demonstrates Wasatch’s conviction in VWE as an attractive long-term investment |
• | The transaction came about as a result of a reverse inquiry from Wasatch, with the deal done in $10.00 common equity, with no additional economics provided |
• | The size and terms of this investment in an uneven SPAC PIPE market again highlight the attractiveness of our investment proposition |
• | The additional funds will be used to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities we believe are available to VWE |
I’ve attached a copy of the press release for your ease of reference.
We also note that initiating coverage research on BCAC / VWE was released this week.
A reminder that our shareholder meeting to vote on extending our permitted timeline is scheduled for Thursday, May 6, 2021.
Please let us know if you would like any further information or would like to set up a time to discuss the investment, the Company or our progress towards closing the transaction.
Thanks

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, among others: the effect of economic conditions on the industries and markets in which VWE operates, including financial market conditions, fluctuations in prices, interest rates and market demand; the ability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the transactions, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the transactions or that the approval of the shareholders of BCAC or VWE is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the transactions; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information; the effects of competition on VWE’s future business; risks related to the organic and inorganic growth of VWE’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; the amount of redemptions, if any, made by BCAC’s shareholders in connection with the transactions; the requirement for Wasatch to fund the subscription price on closing; the potential adverse effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on VWE’s business and the U.S. economy; declines or unanticipated changes in consumer demand for VWE’s products; the impact of environmental catastrophe, natural disasters, disease, pests, weather conditions and inadequate water supply on VWE’s business; VWE’s significant reliance on its distribution channels; potential reputational harm to VWE’s brands from internal and external sources; possible decreases in VWE’s wine quality ratings; possible departures from VWE’s or the combined company’s senior management team; integration risks associated with acquisitions; changes in applicable laws and regulations and the significant expense to VWE of operating in a highly regulated industry; VWE’s and the combined company’s ability to make payments on its indebtedness; and those factors discussed in documents of BCAC filed, or to be filed, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or Canadian securities regulatory authorities. There may be additional risks that BCAC does not know or that BCAC currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect BCAC’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. BCAC undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, except as may be required by law.
