Item 8.01. Other Events

As previously disclosed in Benessere's Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on June 8, 2022, Benessere recently received a subpoena from the SEC seeking various documents regarding, among other things, meetings of our Board of Directors; communications with and the evaluation of potential targets, including eCombustible; information relating to eCombustible; and agreements with certain advisors and affiliates. In connection with the foregoing investigation, the SEC has issued an order of examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Securities Act with respect to BCAC Holdings 's Registration Statement relating to the Business Combination, and a further subpoena to each of Benessere and BCAC Holdings in support thereof. Those subpoenas seek additional documents and information with respect to, among other things, our diligence efforts in examining potential targets other than eCombustible, our communications with respect thereto, and relationships between and among certain of BCAC Holdings and our officers and directors, on the one hand, and other entities (including our Sponsor and the underwriter of our initial public offering) on the other. On June 16, 2022, certain directors of Benessere were issued subpoenas by a federal grand jury sitting in the Southern District of New York in connection with an investigation involving Digital World Acquisition Corp. These subpoenas, and the underlying investigations by the Department of Justice and the SEC, can be expected to delay effectiveness of the Registration Statement, which could materially delay, materially impede, or prevent the consummation of the Business Combination. Additionally, any resolution of the investigation could result in the imposition of significant penalties, injunctions, prohibitions on the conduct of our business, damage to our reputation and other sanctions against us.
