Item 5. Other Events.
The Chalone Wine Group, Ltd. (the "Company") recently completed the
issuance of 833,334 shares of its common stock upon the exercise of all of the
Company's issued and outstanding $7.45 warrants issued pursuant to that certain
Omnibus Agreement dated August 22, 1995 (the "1995 Warrants").
All of the shares issued upon the exercise of the 1995 Warrants have
been, or will be, issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of federal and state securities laws and, consequently, the
certificates representing the shares bear an appropriate restrictive legend. The
terms of the 1995 Warrants provide all warrantholders with certain registration
rights. The Company has not received notice that any warrantholders intend to
demand registration of any shares of the Company's common stock received on the
exercise of the 1995 Warrants.
The Company received gross proceeds of $6,208,338.25 from the exercise
of the 1995 Warrants. The Company anticipates using such proceeds for
acquisition of certain vineyard properties and working capital.
