**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement**

As previously disclosed, on May 18, 2022, Alpine Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("<u>Alpine</u>"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the "<u>Merger Agreement</u>"), with AAC Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Alpine ("<u>Merger Sub</u>"), and Two Bit Circus, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("<u>TBC</u>"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into TBC, with TBC surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alpine (the "<u>Merger</u>"). As a result of the Merger, and upon consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement including the Hotel Purchase (as defined below) (together with the Merger, the "<u>Transactions</u>" or "<u>Business Combination</u>"), TBC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alpine and the stockholders of TBC will become stockholders of Alpine. TBC is a Los Angeles-based experiential entertainment company that is affiliated with certain members of Alpine's management team.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement as contemplated therein, Alpine entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (as amended, the "<u>Hotel Purchase Agreement</u>", and collectively with the Merger Agreement the "<u>Business Combination Agreements</u>") with Pool IV Finance LLC, Pool IV TRS LLC and PHF II Stamford LLC ("<u>Hotel Sellers</u>") pursuant to which Alpine will purchase (the "<u>Hotel Purchase</u>") the Hilton Stamford Hotel & Executive Meeting Center and the Crowne Plaza Denver Airport Convention Center Hotel (collectively, the "<u>Hotels</u>") simultaneously with the closing of the Merger.

On March 2, 2023, the Merger Agreement and Hotel Purchase Agreement were each amended in order to extend the date by which the parties may terminate the applicable agreement if the transactions contemplated thereby have not been consummated from March 2, 2023 to April 2, 2023.

The foregoing summary of the amendments are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of such amendments, which are attached as exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

**Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.**

The information included in Item 5.07 is incorporated by reference into this item to the extent required.

**Item 5.07**. **Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.**

On February 28, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the "<u>Meeting</u>") to approve an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation extending the period of time for the Company to consummate an initial business combination from March 2, 2023 to April 2, 2023. An aggregate of 8,931,349 shares of the Company's common stock, which represents a quorum of the outstanding common stock entitled to vote as of the record date of January 3, 2023, were represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

The Company's stockholders voted on the following proposal at the Meeting, which was approved:

**(1) Proposal No. 1 — The Extension Amendment Proposal** — a proposal to amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from March 2, 2023 to April 2, 2023. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company's stockholders:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **For** | **Against** | **Abstain** | **Broker Non-Votes** |
| 7804550 | 1126799 | 0 | 0 |

---

Holders of an aggregate of 10,489,177 shares of the Company's common stock exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate of approximately $110.2 million in cash.

On March 2, 2023, the Company filed the amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. A copy of the amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

Alpine now has until April 2, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination.

**<u>Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements</u>**

None of Alpine, TBC, Hotel Sellers, or any of their respective affiliates makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering the proposed Transactions discussed herein. It is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the proposed Transactions.

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transactions between Alpine and TBC and Hotel Sellers respectively, including statements regarding the benefits of the transaction, the anticipated timing of the Transactions, the business of TBC and the markets in which it and the Hotels operate. Actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "aspire," "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," "could," "should," "believe(s)," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "future," "opportunity," "strategy," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Alpine's, TBC's, and Hotel Sellers' expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the proposed Transactions.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Alpine's, TBC's, and Hotel Sellers' control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the risk that the benefits of the Business Combination may not be realized; the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Alpine's securities; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the failure of Alpine's stockholders to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement or the failure of Alpine to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition following redemptions by its stockholders; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or Hotel Purchase Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be initiated following announcement of the Business Combination; any issue regarding the combined company's continued listing on a national securities exchange after Closing; the risk that the proposed Transactions disrupt current plans and operations of TBC as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; costs related to the Business Combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; the impact of COVID-19 or other adverse public health developments; and other risks and uncertainties that will be detailed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined below) and as indicated from time to time in Alpine's filings with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

Alpine, TBC, and Hotel Sellers caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Alpine, TBC, and Hotel Sellers caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. None of Alpine, TBC, or Hotel Seller undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

**<u>Additional Information and Where to Find It</u>**

In connection with the proposed transactions between Alpine and TBC and Hotel Sellers respectively, Alpine has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 which includes New TBC's prospectus as well as Alpine's proxy statement (the "<u>Proxy Statement/Prospectus</u>"). Alpine has mailed the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus to its stockholders in connection with the transaction. INVESTORS AND SECURITYHOLDERS OF Alpine ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ALPINE, TBC, THE HOTELS, THE TRANSACTION AND RELATED MATTERS.
