Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 20, 2021, WinVest Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”) on September 17, 2021. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrant”), with each Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one-half (1/2) of one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment, and one right (the “Right”), with each Right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-fifteenth (1/15) of one share of Common Stock upon the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses).

As also previously disclosed, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private sale of 10,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $0.50 per Private Placement Warrant to WinVest SPAC LLC, generating gross proceeds of $5,000,000 (such sale, the “Private Placement”).

The net proceeds from the IPO, together with certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement, $101,000,000 in the aggregate, were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. An audited balance sheet as of September 17, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
