Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 26, 2021, Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. (the “Company”) (formerly Bespoke Capital Acquisition Corp. (“BCAC”)) and TSX Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”) entered into a First Supplemental Warrant Agency Agreement (the “Supplemental Warrant Agreement”) to the Warrant Agency Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2019 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between BCAC and the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agreement governs the outstanding warrants that were originally issued by BCAC and which, upon the previously completed domestication of BCAC from the Province of British Columbia to the State of Nevada, continued and remained outstanding on a one-for-one basis as warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”). The Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof are registered on the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-254260).
The Supplemental Warrant Agreement amends the Warrant Agreement to, among other things, (i) eliminate certain restrictive provisions made unnecessary due to the registration of the Warrants, (ii) replace all references to “Bespoke Capital Acquisition Corp.” with “Vintage Wine Estates, Inc.” and otherwise reflect the completion of the business combination between BCAC and Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., a California corporation and (iii) make corresponding modifications to the Form of Warrant Certificate in connection with such amendments.
The foregoing description of the Supplemental Warrant Agreement and the Form of Warrant Certificate does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Supplemental Warrant Agreement and the Form of Warrant Certificate, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

For purposes of this Certificate, any reference to “Shares” shall mean the shares of common stock, no part value per share, of the Corporation for which the Warrants are conferred the right to acquire, provided that in the event of any adjustment in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agency Agreement, “Shares” shall thereafter mean the shares or other securities or property resulting from such adjustment, and “Share” means any one of them.
Any capitalized term in this Certificate that is not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Warrant Agency Agreement. In the event of any discrepancy between anything contained in this Warrant Certificate and the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agency Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agency Agreement shall govern.
The Warrants represented by this Certificate are issued or issuable in fully registrable form only under the provisions of an agreement (which agreement, as amended from time to time, together with all other instruments ancillary thereto, is referred to herein as the “Warrant Agency Agreement”) dated as of August 15, 2019 between the Corporation and TSX Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”), as amended by the First Supplemental Warrant Agency Agreement dated as of July 26th, 2021 between the Corporation and the Warrant Agent. Reference is hereby made to the Warrant Agency Agreement for a full description of the rights of the holders of the Warrants, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent in respect thereof, and the terms and conditions upon which the Warrants evidenced hereby are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Warrant Agency Agreement were herein set forth. By acceptance of this Certificate, the Holder assents to all provisions of the Warrant Agency Agreement.
The Corporation will furnish to the holder of this Certificate, upon request and without charge, a copy of the Warrant Agency Agreement.
In the event that prior to the Expiry Time, the Holder has not exercised the Warrants represented hereby in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agency Agreement, then any Warrants represented by this Certificate which have not been so exercised shall be deemed to have expired and shall be of no further force and effect as of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Expiry Date.
Upon exercise, the Warrants so exercised shall be void and of no value or effect.
For certificates representing the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants (reflecting any adjustments as provided herein and in the Warrant Agency Agreement), the Warrant Agent shall cause, within three Business Days after the Exercise Date of such Warrants, such certificates to be mailed or delivered, as specified in the Exercise Form, at the address specified in such Exercise Form, or, if so specified in such Exercise Form, cause to be held for such Person for pick-up at the Warrant Agency. The Warrants are subject to Section 3.3 in the event of an Acceleration Event (as defined in the Warrant Agency Agreement).
The right to acquire Shares may only be exercised by the Holder within the time set forth above by:

| (c) | surrendering this Warrant Certificate along with the above referenced payment to the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agency, |

The Warrants represented by this Certificate shall be deemed to be surrendered only upon personal delivery hereof or, if sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual receipt thereof by the Warrant Agent at its principal office in the City of Toronto, Ontario.
Upon surrender of these Warrants, the Person or Persons in whose name or names the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are to be issued shall be deemed for all purposes (except as provided in the Warrant Agency Agreement) to be the holder or holders of record of such Shares, and the Corporation has covenanted that it will (subject to the provisions of the Warrant Agency Agreement) cause a certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be delivered or mailed to the Person or Persons at the address or addresses specified in the Exercise Form within three Business Days after the Exercise Date of such Warrants.
The Warrant Agency Agreement provides for adjustments to certain rights of Holders including the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants upon subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the Shares or any reclassification or capital reorganization of the Corporation and certain dividends and distributions of securities, including rights, options or warrants to purchase Shares or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable into Shares or assets of the Corporation. The Holder should refer to the Warrant Agency Agreement which provides for adjustments in certain other events.
- 2 -
The Corporation shall not be required, upon valid exercise of any Warrants after the Commencement Time and prior to the Expiry Time, to issue fractions of Shares or to distribute certificates which evidence the same. A Holder shall not be entitled to any cash or other consideration in lieu of any fractional interest in a Warrant or claim thereto. Any fractional Shares to which a Holder is entitled shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share, and no cash or other consideration will be paid in lieu of fractional Shares.
The terms and conditions relating to the Warrants and this Certificate may be modified, changed or added to in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agency Agreement. The Warrant Agency Agreement contains provisions making binding upon all Holders of Warrants outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such Holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments in writing signed by the Holders holding a specified percentage of the then outstanding Warrants.
The holding of the Warrants, as evidenced by this Certificate, shall not constitute, or be construed as conferring upon, a Holder any right or interest whatsoever as a shareholder of the Corporation except such rights as may be provided in the Warrant Agency Agreement or in this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate may, upon compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent and upon surrender of this Certificate, exchange this Certificate for another Certificate or Certificates entitling the Holder thereof to receive, in the aggregate, the same number Warrants as are outstanding under this Certificate.
The Warrants evidenced by this Certificate may only be transferred in accordance with applicable securities laws and upon due execution and delivery to the Warrant Agent of a Transfer Form in the form attached hereto and in compliance with all the conditions prescribed in the Warrant Agency Agreement and compliance with such other reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent may prescribe.
This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent under the Warrant Agency Agreement.
The registered holder of this Warrant Certificate expressly acknowledges having requested, and consents to, the drawing in the English language only of this Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants registered in his, her or its name and all documents relating to such Warrants. Le détenteur inscrit du présent certificat de bons de souscription reconnaît expressément avoir demandé et consenti que le présent certificat attestant qu’il est le détenteur inscrit de bons de souscription, ainsi que tous les documents s’y rapportant, soient rédigés en anglais seulement.
Time shall be of the essence hereof.
