Additional Information About the Transaction and Where to Find It

 

TS Holdings has filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4, which includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus of the Company in connection with the proposed Business Combination. This material is not a substitute for the definitive proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed Business Combination. The Company will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to its stockholders. The Company stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting to be held to approve the Business Combination because the proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about The Tile Shop, TS Holdings, the Company and the proposed Business Combination. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders of the Company as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the Registration Statement and the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, at the SEC's Internet site at http://www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: JWC Acquisition Corp., Bay Colony Corporate Center - North Entrance, 1000 Winter Street - Suite 4300, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, tel.
