Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued
Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on November 30, 2022, Winc, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), together with its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors"), filed voluntary
petitions (collectively, the "Chapter 11 Cases") for relief under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
"Bankruptcy Court").
On December 5, 2022, the Company received written notice from the
staff of NYSE Regulation that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases
and in accordance with Section 1003(c)(iii) of the NYSE American
Company Guide, NYSE Regulation has determined to commence
proceedings to delist the common stock of the Company, par value
$0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), from the NYSE American LLC
("NYSE American").
The Company may appeal NYSE Regulation's determination pursuant to
Part 12 of the NYSE American Company Guide within seven calendar
days of the notice. However, even if the Company were to appeal
NYSE Regulation's determination, there can be no assurance that any
such request for continued listing would be granted, and therefore,
it is expected that the Common Stock will be delisted.
The NYSE American will announce a suspension date and suspend
trading of the Common Stock at such time as (i) the Company does
not request a review by a committee of the board of directors of
the NYSE American within seven calendar days of the notice, (ii)
the Company determines that it does not intend to appeal, (iii) the
subsequent review of the committee determines that the Company
should be suspended, or (iv) there are other material developments.
After the suspension announcement, the NYSE American would then
apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to
delist the Common Stock.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 8, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing
(i) that the Bankruptcy Court had approved the Debtors' first-day
motions, including interim approval to access debtor-in-possession
financing, and (ii) the notice of delisting of the Common Stock. A
copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit
99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that section. The information in this Item 7.01,
including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed incorporated by
reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set
forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Cautionary Note Regarding Trading in Winc’s Securities
The Company’s securityholders are cautioned that trading in the
Company’s securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases
will be highly speculative and will pose substantial risks. The
Chapter 11 Cases may result in holders of the Company's securities
receiving no value for their interests. Because of such a
possibility, the trading prices for the Company’s securities may
bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by
holders thereof in the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the Company
urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future
investments in its securities.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) contains
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends for
such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,”
“continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,”
“project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “preliminary,” “likely,” and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. All statements contained in this Current Report other
than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements,
including statements regarding the Company’s plans to sell
substantially all of its assets pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code; the expected timing and terms of any agreement,
including any agreement relating to DIP financing, with the
potential stalking horse bidder; the Company’s intention to
continue operations during the Chapter 11 Cases; the Company’s
ability to conduct its business in an uninterrupted manner during
the Chapter 11 Cases; the potential outcome and timing of the
delisting of the Common Stock; the potential auction process to be
conducted for the sale of substantially all of the Company's
assets; and other statements regarding the Company’s strategy and
future operations, performance and prospects. Forward-looking
statements are predictions, projections and other statements about
future events that are based on current expectations and
assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this
Current Report, including but not limited to: (i) the Company’s
ability to obtain timely approval of the Bankruptcy Court with
respect to motions filed in the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) objections
to the pleadings filed that could protract the Chapter 11 Cases;
(iii) the Bankruptcy Court’s rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases,
including the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases generally; (iv) the
Company’s ability to obtain a timely sale of all of its assets; (v)
the length of time that the Company will operate under Chapter 11
and the continued availability of operating capital during the
pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases; (vi) the Company’s ability to
continue to operate its business during the pendency of the Chapter
11 Cases; (vii) employee attrition and the Company’s ability to
retain senior management and other key personnel due to the
distractions and uncertainties; (viii) the effectiveness of the
overall sale process pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases and any
additional strategies the Company may employ to address its
liquidity and capital resources; (ix) the actions and decisions of
creditors and other
third parties that have an interest in the Chapter 11 Cases; (x)
increased legal and other professional costs necessary to execute
the Company’s restructuring; (xi) the Company’s ability to maintain
relationships with suppliers, customers, employees and other third
parties and regulatory authorities as a result of the Chapter 11
Cases; (xii) the trading price and volatility of the Company’s
common stock and the effects of the expected delisting from The
NYSE American; (xiii) litigation and other risks inherent in a
bankruptcy process; (xiv) the impact of uncertainty regarding the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern on its liquidity
and prospects; and (xv) risks related to the Company’s plans to
effect the disposition of its assets pursuant to Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The foregoing list of factors is not
exhaustive.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those
described under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” and elsewhere in the Company’s Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022
filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022, as may be updated in the
Company’s other periodic filings with the SEC. Moreover, the
Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible
for management to predict all risks, nor can the Company assess the
impact of all factors on the Company’s business or the extent to
which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements the Company may make. In light of these
risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends
discussed in this Current Report may not occur or continue, and
actual results could differ materially and adversely from those
anticipated or implied in the forward-looking
statements.
Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the
date of this Current Report. Except as required by applicable law,
the Company undertakes no obligation to update any of these
forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this
Current Report or to conform these statements to actual results or
revised expectations. Any forward-looking statements do not reflect
the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers,
dispositions, restructurings, joint ventures, partnerships or
investments the Company may make.
These forward-looking statements are based upon information
available to the Company as of the date of this Current Report, and
while the Company believes such information forms a reasonable
basis for such statements, such information may be limited or
incomplete, and statements should not be read to indicate that the
Company has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all
potentially available relevant information. These statements are
inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly
rely upon these statements.
