Item 7.01 Regulation FD.

 

Fresh Vine Wine, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Fresh Vine”), previously disclosed that it entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with (i) Amaze Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Vine (“Pubco“), (ii) VINE Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly subsidiary of Pubco (“VINE Merger Sub”), (iii) Adifex Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Adifex Merger Sub”), and (iv) Adifex Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Adifex”), pursuant to which, in a series of transactions described therein (the “Business Combination”), Fresh Vine will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. As a result of a transaction between Adifex and Amaze Software, Inc. (“Amaze”) that is a condition precedent to the Business Combination and the Business Combination itself, Amaze will be a subsidiary of Adifex and indirect subsidiary of Pubco.

 

Fresh Vine is filing this amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 17, 2024 (the “Original Filing”) regarding a press release (the “Press Release”) that announced an exclusive recorded conversation with the chief executive officer of Amaze. At the time of the Original Filing, the Press Release attached as Exhibit 99.1 announced that the exclusive recorded conversation would occur at 5:00 p.m. PST. The exclusive recorded conversation will occur at 5:00 p.m. EST. This amendment is filed solely to refurnish the Press Release to correct the error.

 

Except as set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K, no other modifications have been made to the Original Filing or the Press Release. The information furnished in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
