Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp. Shareholders Approve Business Combination with CoinShares

Key Highlights for Investors

• Shareholder Approval of Major Deal: Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp. (Nasdaq: VCIC) shareholders have overwhelmingly approved the proposed business combination with CoinShares International Limited, a leading global asset manager specializing in digital assets. Approximately 92.6% of the votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting were in favor of the transaction.
• Imminent Closing Date: The business combination is expected to close on March 31, 2026, pending final regulatory approvals in Jersey. This is a significant event that could influence share price movement in the near term.
• Regulatory Filings and Approvals: Vine Hill will file the results of the meeting on Form 8-K with the SEC. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the Acts of the Royal Court of Jersey.
• Transaction Structure: The combination involves Vine Hill, CoinShares, and Odysseus Holdings Limited, with securities to be issued to Vine Hill securityholders. A Registration Statement on Form F-4 (including a Proxy Statement/Prospectus) has been filed with the SEC, and definitive proxy materials were mailed to shareholders on March 16, 2026.

Details and Considerations for Shareholders

• Potential Price Sensitivity:
  • The deal’s closing and its terms can have a substantial impact on the value of Vine Hill and the newly combined entity’s shares.
  • High shareholder approval (over 92%) signals strong support, but the transaction’s completion is still subject to regulatory and court approvals, which introduces some risk.
  • Shareholders should be aware of potential dilution, especially as Vine Hill Capital Sponsor I LLC will receive Odysseus Holdings ordinary shares in exchange for Vine Hill Class B ordinary shares, which were acquired at a nominal price and could represent significant value gains for insiders versus public investors.
  • There is a risk of volatility post-merger, particularly if there are significant redemptions by Vine Hill’s public shareholders, or if Odysseus Holdings fails to obtain or maintain a listing on a major securities exchange.
• Forward-Looking Statements and Risks:
  • The press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the expected benefits and timing of the transaction, but actual results could vary due to a wide range of factors including regulatory changes, competition, management retention, capital needs, market conditions, and the performance of digital assets and related products.
  • Risks include failure to consummate the transaction, changes in business or regulatory environments, market volatility, and operational challenges in integrating and growing the combined business.
  • Specific risks for the digital asset space include: cyber security issues, regulatory reclassification of digital assets, and the emergence of new competitors or technologies.
  • If Odysseus Holdings is considered a “shell company,” this could impact the ability to list shares and restrict certain securities-related activities.
  • There may be further dilution from existing warrants and any future equity issuances by Odysseus Holdings.
• Information Access:
  • Investors are strongly encouraged to review the Registration Statement, Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and other related documents filed with the SEC for a comprehensive understanding of the transaction, associated risks, and the rights of shareholders.
  • These documents are accessible at www.sec.gov, or by contacting Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp. or CoinShares/Odysseus Holdings directly.

Potential Impact on Share Value

• This transaction is a transformative event for Vine Hill, shifting it from a SPAC into a combined entity with a major digital asset manager. The market’s reaction will depend on the final close, the integration of operations, and the future performance of CoinShares and Odysseus Holdings.
• Any delays or failure to close, negative regulatory outcomes, or higher-than-expected redemptions could negatively impact share values.
• Conversely, smooth closing and positive market sentiment around digital assets could drive significant upside.
