EXPLANATORY NOTE

Deregistration of Common Stock

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-268062) (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) filed by Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), pertaining to the registration of 27,633,275 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company.

As previously disclosed, on July 24, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for reorganization (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption Meier's Wine Cellars Acquisition, LLC, et al., Case No. 24-11575. Also as previously disclosed, the Company's Board of Directors has concluded that it is in the best interests of the Company to voluntarily delist and deregister its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In connection with the foregoing, the Company is terminating all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for sale or transfer that remain unsold at the termination of such offering, the Company hereby removes from registration by means of this Post-Effective Amendment all of such securities registered but remaining unsold under the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities, and the Company hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
