* The common stock (the “Shares”) of WinVest Acquisition Corp., a blank check company incorporated in Delaware (the “Issuer”), reported herein are held in the form of units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Share, one right, and one redeemable warrant, as described in more detail in the Issuer’s Prospectus filed with the SEC on September 16, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-fifteenth (1/15) of a Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one half (1/2) of a Share. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination and twelve months from the closing of this offering and will expire five years after the completion of an initial business combination, or earlier upon redemption.

The Units are held by one or more private funds (the “Funds”), which are managed by Boothbay Fund Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”). Ari Glass is the Managing Member of the Adviser. Certain subadvisors (“Subadvisors”) have been delegated the authority to act on behalf of the Funds, including exclusive authority to vote and/or direct the disposition of certain Shares held by the Fund, and such Shares may be reported in regulatory filings made by such Subadvisors. However, this report is being made to the extent that, for the purposes of Reg. Section 240.13d-3, the reporting persons herein are deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 900,000 Shares (held in the form of Units), or 6.26%, of the 14,375,000 Shares outstanding as disclosed in the Issuer’s 10-Q filed on November 15, 2021.

This report shall not be deemed an admission that the Adviser, the Funds or any other person is the beneficial owner of the securities reported herein for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. Each of the reporting persons herein disclaims beneficial ownership of the Units reported herein except to the extent of the reporting person’s pecuniary interest therein.
