Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.

 

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Truett-Hurst, Inc. (the “Issuer”), and amends the Schedule 13D filed by certain holders of Common Stock (the “Reporting Persons”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2013 (the “Schedule 13D”) in which the Reporting Persons indicated their intention to vote their interests as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As a result, the Company qualified as a “controlled company” under the corporate governance rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report that, as a result of the current and/or planned disposition of shares of Common Stock by certain members of this group, the members of such group collectively hold (or may soon hold) less than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock and no longer wish to be considered a group. Accordingly, effective immediately, the Company is no longer a controlled company pursuant to the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)(b) Pursuant to an exchange agreement, dated June 19, 2013, by and among the Issuer and the members of HDD, each member of HDD is entitled to exchange LLC Units for Shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or for cash, at the election of the Issuer. The information listed in the table below is presented on an as-converted basis giving effect to the exchange of all LLC Units held by the persons listed in the below table for Shares, pursuant to the exchange agreement, together with the Shares purchased in the Issuer’s initial public offering by certain of the persons listed below. The column “Percentage of class beneficially owned” represents the percentage of voting power of each person, taking into account holdings of both Shares and Class B Shares.
