Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement or a Registrant.

As previously disclosed, on December 5, 2022, WinVest Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $750,000 (the "Promissory Note") to WinVest SPAC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to $750,000 in connection with the extension of the date (the "Termination Date") by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination ("Business Combination"). The Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon the earlier of (a) the closing of a Business Combination and (b) the Company's liquidation. The principal of the Promissory Note may be drawn down from time to time in up to six equal amounts of $125,000, such amount representing approximately $0.066 per unredeemed Public Share (as defined below). In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Promissory Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the trust account (the "Trust Account") established in connection with the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO"), if any. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Sponsor may elect to convert any portion or all of the amount outstanding under the Promissory Note into private warrants (each, a "Private Warrant") to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), at a conversion price of $0.50 per Private Warrant. Such Private Warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the IPO.

On January 12, 2023, the Company effected the second drawdown of $125,000 under the Promissory Note and caused the Sponsor to deposit such sum into the Trust Account in connection with the extension of the Termination Date from January 17, 2023 to February 17, 2023. Such amounts will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of shares of Common Stock issued as part of the units sold in the IPO ("Public Shares") upon the Company's liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

An aggregate of 1,500,000 Private Warrants of the Company would be issued if the entire principal balance of the Promissory Note is converted. The Private Warrants would be exercisable subject to their terms and conditions during the exercise period provided in the warrant agreement governing the Private Warrants.

The sale of the Promissory Note and any Private Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Promissory Note is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder. The Company has not engaged in general solicitation or advertising with regard to the issuance and sale of the Promissory Note and Private Warrants and has not offered securities to the public in connection with such issuance and sale. The Company relied, in part, upon representations from the Sponsor that the Sponsor is an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
