The Offering was managed by a syndicate of agents led by Haywood Securities Inc., as sole bookrunner, and including Canaccord Genuity Corp., Cormark Securities Inc. and Paradigm Capital Inc. (collectively, the “Agents”).

Sarment has granted the Agents an over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable in whole or in part for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering (“Closing”), to purchase up to an additional 908,632 Ordinary Shares at the Offering Price of $3.15 per Ordinary Share for additional gross proceeds of approximately CAD$2,862,191, assuming the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full.

Pursuant to an internal reorganization, El Greco International Investments S.R.L. (“El Greco”), the parent company of Vino Ventures Limited, acquired all of Vino Ventures Limited’s interests in Sarment prior to Closing.

Concurrent with Closing, the non-interest bearing convertible loans provided to the Company by certain existing shareholders on May 25, 2018 (the “Convertible Loans”), as disclosed in Sarment’s final prospectus dated July 26, 2018 (the "Prospectus"), were converted into Ordinary Shares at a conversion price equal to the Offering Price. Following Closing and the conversion of the Convertible Loans in accordance with their terms: (a) El Greco exercises control or direction over an aggregate of 9,172,781 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 28.9% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares; (b) Mark Irwin owns or exercise control or direction over an aggregate of 4,681,463 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 14.7% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares; and (c) The Estate of Claude Dauphin owns or exercise control or direction over an aggregate of 4,580,063 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 14.4% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Furthermore, concurrent with Closing, Bertrand Faure Beaulieu received a bonus from Sarment which was satisfied by the issuance of 181,726 Ordinary Shares, as disclosed in the Prospectus, following which Mr. Faure Beaulieu owns or exercise control or direction over an aggregate of 6,352,306 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 19.9% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

Each of El Greco, Mr. Irwin, The Estate of Claude Dauphin and Mr. Faure Beaulieu hold the Ordinary Shares for investment purposes and may, depending on market and other conditions, acquire additional Ordinary Shares through market transactions, private agreements, treasury issuances, dividend reinvestment programs, exercise of options, convertible securities or otherwise, or may sell all or some portion of the Ordinary Shares it owns or controls, or may continue to hold the Ordinary Shares.

An early warning report will be filed by each of El Greco, Mr. Irwin, Claude Dauphin Estate and Mr. Faure Beaulieu in accordance with applicable securities laws and will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or may be obtained directly from Togi Gouw, Chief Financial Officer of Sarment upon request at 65 64240411.

Certain insiders of Sarment subscribed for an aggregate of 317,055 Ordinary Shares, which acquisition constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The participation of the insiders was exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in paragraph (a) of Section 5.5 and paragraph (a) of Section 5.7, respectively, of MI 61-101. Insofar as it applies to interested parties (as that term is defined in MI 61-101) neither the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares issued nor the consideration paid for the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offering exceeded 25% of Sarment’s market capitalization.
