EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-268829), registering shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), held by the selling stockholder named therein (the “Selling Stockholder”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 16, 2022, and was declared effective by the SEC on December 23, 2022 (the “Original Registration Statement”).

 

The Original Registration Statement was filed to register the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Stockholder of up to 1,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Registered Securities”). The Registered Securities had been or were to be issued to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement, each dated November 8, 2022 between the Company and the Selling Stockholder (the “Transaction Documents”). Effective March 7, 2024, the Selling Stockholder terminated the Transaction Documents, and the Company has no further obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

 

Pursuant to the Company’s undertaking as required by Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to terminate the effectiveness of the Original Registration Statement and to deregister, as of the effective date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, all Registered Securities that remain unsold under the Original Registration Statement as of the date thereof. As a result of this deregistration and upon the effectiveness of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, no securities will remain registered for sale pursuant to the Original Registration Statement.
