3 Epicure Wine EIS

On 8 December 2016 the Company was granted Advance Assurance by HMRC that the Company would qualify under the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and on 15 August 2017 the Company was granted Advance Assurance by HMRC that the Company would qualify under the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS). The Company has issued Shares under the SEIS Advance Assurance on 5 April, 13 June and 17 July 2017, but it has yet to issue Shares under the EIS Advance Assurance granted by HMRC. New “Risk-to-Capital” condition – announced in the Budget on 22 November 2017 (“Budget”). One of the outcomes of the Budget was that the Government and HMRC are introducing a new “principles-based” test, to ensure EIS companies are exposed to significant risk and have the objectives to grow and develop over the long term. This is also known as the “Risk-to-Capital” condition and it will apply to investments made on and after the (to be determined) date of Royal Assent to the Finance (no. 2) Bill 2017-19. While the Directors and Enterprise understand that Shares issued before the date of Royal Assent will not be impacted by the “Risk-to-Capital” condition, you should only invest if you accept that there is no guarantee that any formal EIS claims will be agreed by HMRC or that such agreement will not be subsequently withdrawn by HMRC. In those circumstances, Subscription monies would not be returned to Investors. If the Company fails to obtain EIS qualifying company status, or if it is subsequently withdrawn, EIS income tax relief and capital gains tax deferral relief would not be available to Investors or could be withdrawn. Investors are advised to take their own taxation advice. Applications for Shares must be made subject to completion of, and thereby agreement to, the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement and Application Form appearing on pages 19 to 28 (inclusive) of this document. Note: this document has been prepared with the assistance of the Directors, the Company, its management, Enterprise and third party information. All statements of opinion and/or belief in this document and all views expressed regarding the Company, projections, forecasts and statements relating to expectations of future events are those of the Company and the Directors and no other person. No representation or warranty is made, or assurance given, that such statements, views, projections or forecasts are correct or that the Company’s objectives will be achieved. The information and opinions stated are given for your assistance, are not to be relied upon as authoritative and no responsibility is accepted by the Company or Enterprise or any of its directors, partners, officers, employees or agents in respect thereof. This document does not constitute an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorised or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such a solicitation. Prospective investors should inform themselves of and observe all applicable laws and regulations including any taxation or exchange control legislation in the countries of their citizenship, residence, domicile or such other status as may be relevant in connection with any subscription for shares. An investment in the Company is suitable only for investors who are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, who do not require immediate liquidity for their investment and who have sufficient resources to bear any loss which might result from such investment. Potential investors’ attention is drawn to the content of pages 14 to 16 (inclusive) headed “Risk Factors” which sets out certain risk factors relating to any investment in ordinary shares. All statements regarding the Company’s business, financial position and prospects should be viewed in the light of the Risk Factors set out on pages 14 to 16 (inclusive) of this document.

Epicure Wine EIS 8

OVERVIEW The Directors believe that trading in superior quality wine represents a favourable investment opportunity over the medium to longer term due to the distinctive nature of the asset class. The Directors estimate that there is approximately £5 billion to £6 billion stock of superior quality wine globally, with new production of such wines estimated to have a value of approximately £1 billion per annum. The Asset Manager, appointed by the Company to trade the Company’s wine stocks on its behalf, uses its disciplined methodology based on its proprietary stock picking philosophy and its relative value analysis of the wines traded by the Company to provide the framework through which purchases and sales of the Company’s wine stocks are made. 2016 saw the start of a recovery in fine wine prices following a long downturn and then a period of stabilisation. The market is now enjoying its most stable period in the last 5 years with a 24-month rolling annual volatility of 4% (high of 17% in December 2008) and has made steady gains in the last two years with an average annualised return of 14% outperforming traditional assets such as gold (annualised return of +9%) and shares (FTSE 100: +7%). This is due to the return of overseas demand that was given a stimulus in June 2016 following the devaluation of GBP after Britain's decision to leave the EU encouraged purchasing from the Far-East and USA while supply tightened. Since June 2016, the Liv-ex 100 has gained 19% but remains below its long-term trend line and as a physical asset provides a hedge against the return of inflation. Due to the Company’s relatively small size at inception and the impact of costs, the Company has underperformed the overall wine market since inception, although it is worth noting that the Liv-ex indices do not account for the costs of trading. As well as allowing the Company to develop its trade, proceeds from the new share issue described in this document will help to reduce the impact of costs on the Company’s performance. There are many signals suggesting a promising market outlook: record exposure on Liv-ex (the fine wine exchange) of £48m and more active markets than ever before (8000+), a bid-to-offer ratio for Bordeaux wines of almost 2:1 (a bid-to-offer ratio of 0.5 or higher has historically indicated an upward trend in the market and acts as a sign of price stability), promising sales figures at leading auction houses and the market gains being made in a stabilising currency environment. The Directors believe the outlook for the asset class is favourable.

SUMMARY OF TAX ADVANTAGES An Investor may benefit from tax reliefs through the EIS. On 8 December 2016 and on 15 August 2017 the Company was granted Advance Assurance by HMRC that the Company should qualify under SEIS and EIS, respectively. The Company has issued shares under the SEIS on 5 April, 13 June and 17 July 2017, but it has yet to issue Shares under the EIS. EIS is a government backed initiative designed to encourage investment into certain kinds of start-up or new privately-owned businesses, by offering attractive tax incentives to investors. These incentives are summarised below:

Income tax relief You may claim back 30% of the amount invested into a EIS qualifying company against income tax that you have paid, either in the year of investment or carried back against the previous year. There is an upper investment limit of £1,000,000 per individual per tax year.

Capital Gains Tax (‘CGT’) deferral Individuals can defer CGT on an unlimited amount of chargeable gains by making an investment of an amount equivalent to the chargeable gain, provided the investment is made in the period beginning 12 months before and ending 3 years after the date of disposal.

Tax-free gains Any profits from the sale of your EIS shares will be exempt from CGT, as long as you have owned them for at least three years from the date of issue.

Inheritance tax relief EIS shares will usually qualify for Business Property Relief. This means they fall outside of your taxable estate once held for more than two years.

Loss relief If your EIS shares are sold for a loss, you may be able to claim loss relief. Losses may be offset against taxable income or gains with relief at the respective marginal rates.

The summary above gives a brief outline of the Tax Advantages. It does not set out all of the rules that must be met and is intended only as a general guide. This summary should not be construed as constituting advice which Investors should obtain from their own professional advisers before investing in the Company. The taxation levels, bases and reliefs described above and elsewhere in this document are based on existing law and what is understood to be current HMRC practice but this may be subject to change without notice. The availability of tax reliefs depends upon the individual circumstances of the Investor and the Company maintaining qualifying status.

operations of the Company including all regulatory, bookkeeping, accountancy, company secretarial and administration and investor communications. Enterprise serves under a service contract with the Company which is available upon request and may be obtained by writing to the Company and is entitled to fees as set out under “Charges and Expenses” below.

Anpero Capital Limited

The Asset Manager, under the guidance of the Directors, has overall authority over and responsibility for the management of the Company’s assets including the making of day-to-day trading decisions for the Company, conducting all purchases and sales of wines, arranging the safe custody of these wines, assisting in the conduct of regular stock audits and undertaking certain administrative, accounting and reporting functions. The Asset Manager serves under a service contract with the Company which is available upon request and may be obtained by writing to the Company and is entitled to annual fees as set out under “Charges and Expenses” below. The Asset Manager is associated with a number of wine investment vehicles which invest in wines in which the Company trades, including The Wine Investment Fund (launched in 2003 and which holds its wine stocks for longer than the anticipated holding period at the Company), The Wine Enterprise Investment Scheme Limited (launched in 2012) and Huntsman Wine EIS Limited (launched in 2014). The Wine Investment Fund has been managed by the Asset Manager since 2003. Since its first NAV in March 2004, the Fund has produced an average annualised return of 7.1% net of all fees and costs (except subscription fees where payable). By comparison, the industry’s benchmark index, the Liv-ex 100, has produced average annualised returns of 7.8% since inception in 2001: this index return takes no account of any of the costs, fees or spreads associated with trading, insuring and storing fine wine. The following are key members of the Asset Manager’s operation: Rodney Birrell, see above Andrew della Casa, see above William Grey, a languages graduate from Manchester University, has spent over 20 years in the wine business, including as a shareholder and head of trading for John Armit Wines and previously as a broker at Fine & Rare Wines.

Epicure Wine EIS 12

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY The Industry The UK, and London in particular, is the key secondary market for sales of fine wine (Source: FT). The Directors estimate that there is around £5 billion to £6 billion worth of superior wine stock available to be traded at any given time (Source: www.liv-ex.com, Robert M Parker and The Wine Investment Fund).

Company Strategy The objective of the Company is to achieve capital growth, as measured in pounds sterling, through trading in physical stocks of superior quality wines from established producers and of very good to outstanding vintages. Wines traded by the Company are wines which are of limited production and produced under a recognised system of classification or, where there is no classification, which the Asset Manager considers to be of a similar quality. It is not envisaged that any income or gains derived from the Company’s trading activities will be distributed by way of a dividend. The Asset Manager calculates that it is typically able to purchase wine stock at a discount to market value and equally able to achieve sales of wine stock at prices higher than market value, thus achieving a trading margin on each sale/purchase. There are no restrictions covering the selection of wines the Company may trade in. The Asset Manager, however, will seek to purchase wines primarily from the Pauillac wine region of Bordeaux in France. The Asset Manager seeks to ensure diversification of purchases from a selection of producers and highly rated wines from vintages rated at least as very good to outstanding. Undue concentration on a single producer or a single vintage is avoided. The Asset Manager, as a rule, trades in wines which in its opinion are:

• reputable and highly sought after vintages;

• wines with a reputation for ageing ability;

• stock that has been stored in suitable conditions;

• whole units where a unit means one original case of either 12 x 75cl or 6 x 75cl bottles or 6 x 150cl or 3 x 150cl magnums.

The Asset Manager, as a rule, avoids trading in wines which in its opinion are:

• over-hyped or do not have a recognisable track record;

• contained in unusual bottle sizes;

• coming to the end of their natural life span;

• en primeur wines;

• contained in split cases. The Asset Manager applies a disciplined methodology to its stock picking, based on its expertise and its relative value analyses of the wines to be traded by the Company, to provide the framework through which purchases and sales of wine are made. The Asset Manager’s analysis of the wines to be traded by the Company shows that upward movements in the price of such wines occur as a consequence of changes in the supply and demand for such wines during their life, with supply falling as the wine is consumed. The Asset Manager seeks to purchase wines at the lowest price available (subject to suitable provenance and condition) and to sell wines at the highest price available. Historically, the Asset Manager has aimed to purchase wines below the mid price of the wine’s wholesale spread and sold wines above this price, thereby generating additional value.

Page 13: EPICURE WINE EIS...Epicure Wine EIS 6 DEFINITIONS Applicable Laws all relevant UK laws, regulations and rules, including those of the FCA Application Form an application form to invest

13 Epicure Wine EIS

Wines are normally purchased in the United Kingdom (although wines may also be purchased in continental Europe and elsewhere) from merchants, through brokers, at auction or from private collections and the Asset Manager aims to sell the wines to the highest bidder worldwide. Wines are traded in order to exploit market price differentials for the Company’s benefit, with a view to generating returns even if the Company’s stock of wines does not itself increase in value. Wines are stored under suitable and secure conditions at professional wine storage facilities generally in UK bonded warehousing and are insured at replacement cost (subject to policy terms and conditions).

EXIT ROUTE It is intended that the Directors will consider options for realising the value of Shares, probably either by way of a sale or stock liquidation, after the expiry of the SEIS and EIS qualifying periods. Any such decision will seek to obtain the maximum value for the Company’s shareholders.

CHARGES AND EXPENSES Enterprise is entitled to an initial commission of 5% of an Investor’s gross investment, payable by the Company immediately after each Subscription Day, of which half (or 2.5%) is payable to the Asset Manager. Where investment comes via an introducing adviser, Enterprise may facilitate the payment of an adviser charge of up to 2.5% on request. Payment will either be on top of an Investor’s gross investment or be taken from an Investor’s gross investment amount (for example if 2.5% on £10,000 investment, then £250 would be deducted and net £9,750 invested in the Company). In addition to the initial commission, Enterprise will be entitled to an annual fee of 1% of the amount invested in the Company plus VAT, payable by the Company in arrears on a calendar quarterly basis, to cover the cost of investor relations and non-executive directorship. The Asset Manager will be entitled to an annual fee of 1.5% of NAV plus VAT, payable by the Company quarterly in advance, to cover the cost of day to day operation and management accounting. Other costs that the Company will incur in the course of business will be annual statutory accounts and tax return, company secretarial, and receiving agent costs. Enterprise and the Asset Manager will receive an equal share of a performance fee payable by the Company at Exit, at the rate of 20% of any appreciation (as calculated prior to the payment of such performance fee) of the amount invested in the Company as calculated at Exit. Enterprise and the Asset Manager are remunerated from the above fees and are not entitled to any distribution of income or gains from the Company. In addition to the fees payable to Enterprise and the Asset Manager, fees payable to the Directors, company secretary, receiving agent and, if any, auditor, solicitor and tax adviser may be payable from the assets of the Company.

RISK FACTORS Potential investors should be aware that exposure to unlisted companies carries with it inherent risk. Potential investors should consider the risk factors set out below and are advised to seek independent professional investment and tax advice on the implications of investing in the Company. Investing in the Company will place your capital at risk. Key risk factors to the Company and Investor include, but are not limited to, the following:

INVESTMENT ISSUES 1. Fluctuations in value. The value of investments and income from them can go down as well as

up. If you cannot afford a total loss of your investment or sums invested in acquiring it, you should not consider subscribing for Shares. It is not intended that any income or capital will be realised by Investors for at least three years from the date of their ibnvestment. Even then it may be difficult to sell an investment in the Company or to obtain accurate information about its value.

2. Non-Readily Realisable Investments. The Company is unlisted and its shares will generally be illiquid. You should be aware that there may be difficulty in selling such shares at a reasonable price and, in some circumstances, it may be difficult to sell them at any price. You should not invest unless you have carefully thought about whether you can afford a total loss of your investment and are willing to invest and have no access to your capital for the long term.

3. Management. Unquoted companies typically have small management teams and are highly dependent on the skills and commitment of a small number of individuals and key suppliers. The loss of a key individual may have a significant effect on the Company’s business, its prospects and the value of your investment.

4. Investment term. Investment in the Company should not be viewed as a short-term investment and Investors should be prepared to invest for the long term. Any disposal within three years of Shares will result in the loss of SEIS or EIS Relief. The anticipated exit strategy of the Directors is to seek an Exit, within a three to four year timeframe from the date of investment, but in practice this may not be achievable at all.

5. Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme or similar arrangement is not available for claims related to the subscription for, or the performance of, the Shares in the Company and your investment.

6. Suitability. The investment opportunity set out in this document may not be suitable for all recipients. Any potential investor who has any doubt about the suitability of an investment in the Company should consult an independent financial adviser regarding all aspects of the investment, including taxation matters, prior to committing to invest.

7. Legal and Regulatory. There may be changes to the legal framework and regulatory status affecting the Company which may adversely affect the Company and/or its Investors.

COMPANY ISSUES 1. Future Performance. The figures in this document are prepared on the assumptions stated and

involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and are not guarantees of future performance. They are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute forecasts and as such should not be relied upon by a prospective Investor. The actual operating performance, financial conditions and liquidity of the Company may differ materially from the figures laid out in this document.

2. Personnel. The business model of the Company is heavily reliant on the experience, skills and

continued services of key individuals and suppliers. The Company cannot guarantee the retention of these individuals and suppliers, and in the event of the departure of one or more of them it may find itself negatively impacted by the loss of their inputs and the value of your investment could be adversely impacted.

Page 15: EPICURE WINE EIS...Epicure Wine EIS 6 DEFINITIONS Applicable Laws all relevant UK laws, regulations and rules, including those of the FCA Application Form an application form to invest

15 Epicure Wine EIS

3. Wine. There can be no guarantees that sufficient wines of the grade and quality required will be

available to the Company, in which case returns to Investors would be lower than anticipated. Equally, there can be no guarantees that wines purchased will always be re-sold at higher prices than the price they were acquired at and there may be occasions when the Company is unable to sell its wines at any price. Although there has historically been a high demand for fine wine, there can be no guarantee that this will be the case in the future. Supply of and demand for wine and its cost and sales price from particular regions may be affected by (but not limited to) weather, local input costs, technological advancements or changing consumer tastes.

4. Storage and insurance. Although the Company will endeavor to ensure its wines are always stored by professional and secure storage providers, there can be no guarantee that its wines may not be exposed to unfavorable storage conditions. Equally, although the Company’s wines will be insured at replacement value, there can be no guarantee that they may not be damaged or destroyed by a risk which has not been insured against.

5. Conflicts of interest. The Directors, Enterprise and the Asset Manager may from time to time be involved in buying or selling wines for other companies or parties. The Directors, Enterprise and the Asset Manager will at all times have regard to their obligations to the Company and in the event a conflict arises, will endeavor to ensure such conflicts are resolved fairly. Enterprise and The Asset Manager have a conflicts of interest policy.

6. General Economic Conditions. The financial operation of the Company may be adversely affected by general economic conditions. In particular currently the UK is leaving the European Union (“EU”), referred to as “BREXIT”, and as such this has resulted in economic uncertainty while BREXIT is being worked through by the UK and its EU partners. This has and will continue to have a number of impacts on the Company, such as, but not limited to, adverse currency movements, increasing costs around import/export and storage/insurance, and demand for fine wines from the Company’s customers.

7. Competition. The wine industry is a highly competitive environment. Existing or new competitors can impact upon the profitability of the Company.

8. Legislation. Government changes to rules and regulations may put additional cost burdens onto the wine industry and the Company or create a competitive disadvantage for the Company.

TAX ISSUES Potential investors should be aware that although the Company has received Advance Assurance for SEIS and EIS, this assurance does not guarantee the availability of the Tax Advantages under SEIS or EIS. As such, Investors may not receive SEIS or EIS tax advantages on their investment. Potential investors should also note the new “Risk-to-Capital” condition announced in the Budget on 22 November 2017 which is due to become law on the date of Royal Assent to the Finance (No.2) Bill 2017-2019. This introduces a new “principles-based” test, to ensure EIS companies are exposed to significant risk and have the objectives to grow and develop over the long term. This is also known as the “Risk-to-Capital” condition and it will apply to investments made on and after the (to be

determined) date of Royal Assent of the Finance (No. 2) Bill 2017-19. Although the Directors and Enterprise understand that the new rules will not come into force until the date of Royal Assent, you should only invest if you accept that there is no guarantee that the formal EIS claims will be agreed by HMRC or that such agreement will not be subsequently withdrawn by HMRC. In those circumstances, Subscription monies will not be returned to Investors. If the Company fails to obtain EIS Qualifying Company status, or if it is subsequently withdrawn, EIS income tax relief and capital gains tax deferral relief would not be available to Investors or could be withdrawn.

Epicure Wine EIS 16

1. Tax Legislations and HMRC. Tax legislation and HMRC practice are subject to change at any time and tax advantages may be amended or withdrawn.

2. Rates. Rates of tax, tax benefits and allowances described in this Information Memorandum are

based on current legislation and HMRC practice. These may change from time to time, are not guaranteed and depend on the individual's circumstances.

3. Domicile. The Offer is aimed at UK resident taxpayers. It may not be advantageous for persons

not resident or ordinarily resident in the UK to invest in the Company. 4. Filing. Income tax relief available to Investors is subject to Investors making the proper filing of

returns with HMRC within the required timeframe and reliefs may be lost if the necessary steps are not taken.

5. Tax Advantages could be lost. There is no guarantee that formal SEIS or EIS claims will be agreed

or any such agreement will not subsequently be withdrawn. Furthermore, any of the Tax Advantages may change and the Tax Advantages may be lost or modified. In these circumstances, or where the Company fails to obtain SEIS Relief or EIS Relief or has it withdrawn, monies would not be returned to Investors and investment returns would be lower.

6. Early Exit. Notwithstanding the anticipated strategy of the Directors to wait for several years

before seeking an Exit, if this strategy is not pursued and the Company is wound up before the expiry of the minimum three year SEIS or EIS term, SEIS or EIS Relief would be lost. Also, if a majority of Shares held by Investors are agreed to be sold, other Investors, even if they do not wish to do so, may be forced to sell under the provisions of the Articles.

7. Individual Investor’s circumstances. Representations in this document with respect to tax

advantages relate to the generic position of a UK-resident individual tax payer and do not amount to tax advice. The amount of relief an Investor may gain from an investment in the Company depends on the Investor’s individual circumstances. Investors are strongly advised to seek professional advice in relation to the taxation implications of their investment in the Company.

8. Value Received. The Company shall not be liable for any loss incurred by an Investor in relation

to value received (as defined in Section 226(1) of the Income and Corporation Tax Act 1988) by any person from the Company or as a result of a change in circumstances of the Company at any time.

SECTION 4 – INVESTING DIRECTLY

This section is for those investors who are investing directly and not through a Financial Adviser. Enterprise Investment

Partners LLP does not make personal recommendations or offer tax and investment advice. We strongly recommend you

seek advice from an independent Financial Adviser authorised under FSMA 2000, who specialises in investments of this type

prior to investing.

Direct investors must certify themselves as being either a High Net Worth Individual OR a Sophisticated Investor.

4.1 Statement for Certified High Net Worth Individuals

I make this statement so that I can receive promotional communications which are exempt from the restriction on promotion of non-

readily realisable securities. The exemption relates to certified high net worth investors and I declare that I qualify as such because at

least one of the following applies to me:

• I had, throughout the financial year immediately preceding the date below, an annual income to the value of £100,000 or more.

Annual income for these purposes does not include money withdrawn from my pension savings (except where the withdrawals are

used directly for income in retirement).

• I held, throughout the financial year immediately preceding the date below, net assets to the value of £250,000 or more.

Net assets for these purposes do not include:

a) the property which is my primary residence or any money raised through a loan secured on that property; or

b) any rights of mine under a qualifying contract of insurance; or

c) any benefits (in the form of pensions or otherwise) which are payable on the termination of my service or on my death or retirement

and to which I am (or my dependants are), or may be, entitled; or

d) any withdrawals from my pension savings (except where the withdrawals are used directly for income in retirement).

I accept that the investments to which the promotions will relate may expose me to a significant risk of losing all of the money or

other property invested. I am aware that it is open to me to seek advice from an authorised person who specialises in advising on

non-readily realisable securities.

By signing this statement, I may lose significant rights. I may have no right to complain to either of the following:

• The Financial Conduct Authority; or

• The Financial Ombudsman Scheme.

I may also have no right to seek compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Signature Date

4.2 Statement for Self-Certified Sophisticated Investors

I declare that I am a self-certified sophisticated investor for the purposes of the restriction on promotion of non-readily realisable

securities. I understand that this means:

i. I can receive promotional communications made by a person who is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority which

relate to investment activity in non-readily realisable securities;

ii. the investments to which the promotions will relate may expose me to a significant risk of losing all of the property invested.

I am a self-certified sophisticated investor because at least one of the following applies:

a) I am a member of a network or syndicate of business angels and have been so for at least the last six months prior to the date

below;

b) I have made more than one investment in an unlisted company in the two years prior to the date below;

c) I am working, or have worked in the two years prior to the date below, in a professional capacity in the private equity sector, or in

the provision of finance for small and medium enterprises;

d) I am currently, or have been in the two years prior to the date below, a director of a company with an annual turnover of at least

£1 million.

I accept that the investments to which the promotions will relate may expose me to a significant risk of losing all of the money or

other property invested. I am aware that it is open to me seek advice from someone who specialises in advising on non-readily

realisable securities.

By signing this statement, I may lose significant rights. I may have no right to complain to either of the following:

• The Financial Conduct Authority; or

• The Financial Ombudsman Scheme.

I may also have no right to seek compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

In consideration for the allotment and issue of the Ordinary Shares to me, I undertake to pay the Company my remittance upon completion of the Company's identity checks on me. I confirm that the subscription monies will be sent from a UK clearing bank from an account that is open in my name. I request and authorise you to enter my name in the Company's register of members as holder of the Ordinary Shares and to send to me a share certificate in respect of the Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to this application. By completing and delivering this letter and the Application Form I (the “Applicant”) hereby: 1.1. warrant that my remittance will be honoured on first presentation and agree that if

such remittance is not so honoured, I will not be entitled to receive any Ordinary Shares applied for or to enjoy or receive any rights or distributions in respect of any Ordinary Shares unless and until I make payment in cleared funds for such Ordinary Shares and such payment is accepted by the Company (which acceptance shall be in its absolute discretion and may be on the basis that I indemnify the Company against all costs, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities arising out of or in connection with the failure of his remittance to be honoured in first presentation);

1.2. agree that any monies returnable to me may be retained by the Company pending clearance of remittance and that such monies will not bear interest;

1.4. agree with the Company promptly, on request, to disclose in writing any information which it may request in connection with my application and authorise the Company to disclose any information relating to my application it may consider appropriate;

1.5. confirm that I have read the Information Memorandum entitled Epicure Wine EIS and understand its contents. In making such application I am not relying on any information or representation in relation to the Company other than the information contained in the Information Memorandum, in particular the risk factors on pages 14 to 16;

1.6. warrant that I am not under the age of 18;

1.7. agree that all certificates, documents, monies and cheques sent by post to, by or on behalf of the Company to me will be sent at my risk and to the address specified in the Application Form (or in the case of multiple Applicants the first named);
