National Wine & Spirits Inc. (NWS or the Company) is one of the largest distributors of wine and spirits in the United States. NWS’ markets include, among others, Illinois and Michigan, which are the fifth largest and the sixth largest markets for spirits in the United States, respectively. NWS is the largest distributor of spirits in Indiana with 58% market share and Michigan with 51% market share. NWS’ market share in Illinois is approximately 20%. NWS was incorporated in the state of Indiana in 1998 and conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiaries, National Wine & Spirits Corporation in Indiana (NWS-Indiana), NWS-Illinois, LLC (NWS-Illinois), NWS Michigan Inc. (NWS-Michigan), National Wine & Spirits, LLC (NWSM-LLC) and United States Beverage, L.L.C. (USB). USB distributes and markets malt based products along with import and craft beer products throughout the United States. The wine and spirits wholesale industry has undergone significant changes in recent years. Rapid consolidation has occurred in the supplier sector, and distributors have expanded their operations to cover a larger number of states, resulting in consolidation among distributors. In several states, only two major distributors are operating, and the trend toward consolidation in the industry is continuing. The United States wholesale wine and spirits market was approximately $35 billion during 2005 and is projected to be approximately $37 billion for 2006 according to industry projections. The Company’s revenue including the wholesale dollar sales for its fee operations, places NWS as the tenth largest wholesaler in the United States, according to industry surveys.
