Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWE and VWEWW) (“VWE” or the “Company”), one of the top wine producers in the U.S., today announced that it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on February 21, 2024, indicating that, because the Company has not filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period, the Company is not in compliance with the timely filing requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

The Nasdaq notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock. While the notice provides the Company the opportunity to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) within 60 days, VWE currently expects to be in compliance with the listing qualification in that timeframe.
