NOT A LIVE OFFER — DO NOT CIRCULATE — [CORRECTED 7 Aug 2026 — vault Active Status canon]

This Data Room presented an equity seed round — an amount, an equity percentage, a share price and a minimum cheque. That round is RETIRED and is not open. Its terms are deliberately not restated here: naming them re-injects every one of them into any context that opens this page, which is the defect itself. They sit on the forbidden-figures list in the Obsidian vault Active Status note _Memory/00-ACTIVE-STATUS.md. No investor may act on anything below. Soft commits £0 (David King confirmed NO, 29 Jun 2026).

Live funding position as at 7 August 2026:

• Live funding route = EU grants. EIC Accelerator ask LOCKED at €1.5M grant-only, in writing 29 Jul 2026 (~€2.14M eligible cost, 70% rate, ~€0.64M own resources). Step 1 = the September batch (the 4 Aug batch was missed); cut-off TBC — do not state one.
• Entity LOCKED: Winemakers Rock Ltd (UK co. 15533364), PIC 863200479.
• Crowdcube: ⏸️ ON HOLD, not dead — declined 3 Jun 2026, closed 9 Jun 2026. Resume bar ≈10k mailing list + early revenue.
• EIS: advance assurance held at £250k (held, not approval — assurance is HMRC's opinion, given per share issue). Uplift — HELD, not blocked. Delivered to HMRC 20 May 2026; HMRC replied 26 May 2026 (ref WMBC/I&R/3164120190/AAS) requiring a formal advance assurance application. None has been made — the answer is unactioned. Held by James's ruling 15 Aug 2026 pending named-investor evidence (VCM60130). Nothing is pending at HMRC. ⚠️ Corrected 16 Aug 2026 — the previous wording said HMRC blocked it. HMRC answered; the action sits with us.
• Bottled Rebellion NOT released — pre-launch, gated on funding.

Retired — do not quote as live. The retired items are named by CATEGORY only; the figures themselves are deliberately not listed, because an enumeration inside a prohibition re-emits every figure in it. The categories: the round amount · "round open" · the equity percentage · the pre- and post-money valuations · the share price · the minimum investment · a claimed "secured" amount · the return multiples · the Series A pre-money range · the maximum-loss figure · the target close date. Every one of these is on the forbidden-figures list in the Obsidian vault Active Status note _Memory/00-ACTIVE-STATUS.md — read from there, never from this page. [Re-emitter enumeration removed 16 Aug 2026.]

Product canon: bottle <450g, ≥70% recycled glass (never 100%). The carbon-reduction percentage claim is WITHDRAWN pending recalculation (James, 22 Jul 2026) — the percentage is deliberately not restated here; if a claim is unavoidable the only defensible formulation is "30%+ CO₂e". UK duty £30.62/LAL from 1 Feb 2026 — 500ml @13% = £1.99, 750ml @13% = £2.99. Bottled Rebellion RRP £16.00 (the earlier RRP is superseded and is deliberately not restated). Downtown Creative (Marco Cannata + Larry Ball) is the equity partner — not "Downtown Wines".

The UK regulatory registrations listed further down (VAT, EORI, AWRS, LCB bond, Companies House 15533364) remain accurate.

[retired round terms removed] | [EIS overstatement removed] | [unevidenced Month-1 profitability claim removed] 🛑 RETIRED · NEUTRALISED 16 Aug 2026 — never send, circulate or reuse. No equity round is open and none ever closed; EIS advance assurance is HELD, not approved (it is HMRC's opinion, given per share issue); the Month-1 profitability line was a model output, never a fact.

🛑 THE ROUND ABOVE IS RETIRED — NOT A LIVE OFFER [CORRECTED 7 Aug 2026 — vault Active Status canon]. No equity round is open; live route = EIC Accelerator €1.5M grant-only (September batch, cut-off TBC).

A modern wine brand shaking up a £1.5B market gap. 5-year path to £18M revenue and ≥10% EBITDA margin (£1.8M) (projection only).

🛑 Investor cap, minimum cheque and round target — [retired — see Active Status] — RETIRED. The round is CLOSED and was never raised. No minimum, no target, no open round. [CORRECTED 7 Aug 2026]

📊 UNFUNDED MODEL — READ THIS BEFORE THE PROJECTIONS BELOW. [B4 — James's ruling, 16 Aug 2026]

SCOPE: every projection on this page — the Year 1 and Year 5 figures immediately below, the 5-year revenue and EBITDA path stated above, and the 5-Year Financial Model and Monthly Cash Flow Waterfall listed in the Tier 2 pack further down.

These are projections only, and they are the output of an UNFUNDED model. No funding round is open and none has ever closed. Soft commits are £0. The model assumes capital that has not been raised — every revenue, EBITDA, bottle-volume and market-count line below is conditional on that capital arriving, and it has not arrived. They are not forecasts, not results, not a guarantee and not an offer, and nothing in them may be relied upon by anyone.

They are kept, not struck — the figures remain the model's stated output and are retained deliberately — but they may only ever be quoted with the funding assumption stated alongside them. Read live canon from the Obsidian vault Active Status note _Memory/00-ACTIVE-STATUS.md.

The uplift target figure is retired and is deliberately not stated here. ⚠️ Corrected 16 Aug 2026 · uplift target figure removed 16 Aug 2026 — naming it inside the HELD note re-emitted it.

⛔ THIS FUNNEL IS NOT OPERATING — DO NOT SHARE OR ACT ON IT [marked 16 Aug 2026]

SCOPE: the "Founding Circle" card in the Tier 1 pack above, the Journey / Tier 1–2–3 funnel below, the Tier 2 and Tier 3 invite links, the "First Contact to Close" timeline and the "Ready to start? Email…" call to action.

The page banner says no offer is open. The section below still runs one. To be explicit:

• There is no equity round. None is open and none has ever closed. The retired round's terms — amount, equity percentage, pre- and post-money, share price, minimum cheque, close date and return multiples — are all retired and on the forbidden list in vault Active Status. Soft commits are £0 (last verbal confirmed NO, 29 Jun 2026).
• There is no NDA process and no term sheet stage. Nothing below is a live workflow. The NDA template further down is retained for general confidentiality use only and does not evidence an offer.
• There is no Founding Circle. No benefits, no "equity at floor price", no allocation, no membership. That card describes a construct of the retired round.
• Do not share the Tier 2 / Tier 3 invite links, and do not use the "Ready to start?" email call to action further down this page. There is nothing to start. Anyone arriving via a forwarded link should be told plainly that no round is open.
• EIS: advance assurance is HELD, not approved, and nothing is pending at HMRC. Crowdcube declined 3 Jun 2026 and is on hold, not the route. Live route = EU grants / EIC Accelerator, ask €1.5M grant-only. Bottled Rebellion is not released and the trademark is not filed. The carbon percentage claim is withdrawn — only "30%+ CO₂e" is defensible.

⚖️ FSMA s21: an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity is a financial promotion. It may only be communicated by, or with the approval of, an authorised person, or within an exemption (e.g. FPO high-net-worth / sophisticated investor certification) with the correct wrapper and risk warnings. This page carries none. Circulating it as-is is a regulatory exposure, not just a stale-figure problem.

Any future investor-facing material must be built fresh from _Memory/00-ACTIVE-STATUS.md and cleared through the pre-send gate.
