that Integrated Wellness Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (including successors thereto, including following the domestication
described below, “Integrated Wellness”), and Refreshing USA, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“Refreshing”),
plan to use in various meetings with securities analysts, investors and others regarding matters relating to the proposed Transaction
(as defined below). The Investor Presentation is being furnished herewith and is incorporated herein by reference.
Exhibit

On February 10, 2023,
Integrated Wellness issued a joint press release with Refreshing announcing the execution of a definitive Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of February 10, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), with certain other parties, including IWAC
Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”), formed in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transaction”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) prior to consummation of the Transaction, Integrated Wellness will transfer by way of
continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to redomicile as and become a Delaware corporation
pursuant to the Cayman Islands Companies Law and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
“Domestication”), (ii) IWAC Purchaser Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Pubco, will merge with and into Integrated Wellness, with Integrated Wellness continuing as the surviving entity (the
“Purchaser Merger”), (iii) in connection with Purchaser Merger, each outstanding share of Integrated Wellness
common stock shall automatically convert into one share of Pubco common stock (“Pubco Common Stock”), (iv) each
outstanding whole Integrated Wellness warrant shall automatically convert into one warrant to purchase shares of Pubco Common Stock
on substantially the same terms and conditions, (v) Refreshing USA Merger Sub LLC., a Washington limited liability company and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, will merge with and into Refreshing, with Refreshing continuing as the surviving entity (the
“Company Merger”, and together with the Purchaser Merger, the “Transaction”) and (vi) in
connection with the Company Merger, stakeholders of Refreshing will receive shares of newly issued Pubco common stock with an
aggregate value equal to $160,000,000, subject to adjustments for Refreshing’s net working capital, closing debt (net of cash)
and accrued but unpaid expenses related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and the contingent right to
receive up to $40,000,000 of additional shares of Pubco common stock as earnout consideration after the closing of the Transaction.
As a result of the Transaction, Integrated Wellness and Refreshing will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, all upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, and the Washington Limited Liability Company Act.
A copy of the press release
is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibits
hereto (“Report”) may contain, and certain oral statements made by representatives of Pubco and its respective affiliates,
from time to time may contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section
21E of the Exchange Act. Statements regarding Integrated Wellness and Refreshing’s expectations with respect to anticipated financial
impacts of the proposed Transaction, the timing of the completion of the proposed Transaction, Refreshing’s projected financial
and operational performance, new product offerings that Refreshing may introduce, and related matters, as well as all other statements
other than statements of historical fact included in this Report, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, words such
as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,”
“project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, as they relate to Integrated Wellness or Refreshing’s
management team, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well
as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, Integrated Wellness’ and Refreshing’s management. Actual results
could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in Integrated
Wellness’ and Pubco’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Most of these factors
are outside the control of Integrated Wellness and Pubco and are difficult to predict. In addition to factors disclosed in Integrated
Wellness and Pubco’s filings with the SEC, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results and the timing of events
to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: the risk that the
Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of the securities of Integrated Wellness;
the risk that the Transaction may not be completed by Integrated Wellness’ business combination deadline and the potential failure
to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Integrated Wellness; inability to meet the closing conditions
to the Transaction, including the occurrence of any event, change, legal proceedings instituted against Refreshing or against Integrated
Wellness related to the Merger Agreement or the management team, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the
Merger Agreement; the inability to complete the Transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval
of Integrated Wellness’ shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals; changes in Pubco’s
capital structure; redemptions exceeding a maximum threshold or the failure to maintain the listing of Integrated Wellness’ securities
or failure of Pubco to meet The New York Stock Exchange’s initial listing standards in connection with the consummation of the contemplated
Transaction; costs related to the Transaction contemplated by Merger Agreement and the failure to realize anticipated benefits of the
Transaction or to realize estimated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated shareholder redemptions;
a delay or failure to realize the expected benefits from the proposed Transaction including Refreshing’s ability to effectively
develop and successfully market new products, solutions and services, and to effectively address cost reductions and other changes in
its industry; risks related to disruption of management’s time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed Transaction;
changes in the markets in which Refreshing competes, including with respect to its competitive landscape, technology evolution or the
impact of regulatory changes on solutions, services, labor matters, international economic, political, legal, compliance and business
factors; developments and uncertainties in domestic and foreign trade policies and regulations, and other regulations which may cause
contractions or affect growth rates and cyclicality of markets Refreshing serves; disruptions relating to war, terrorism, widespread protests
and civil unrest, man-made and natural disasters, public health issues and other events; changes in domestic and global general economic
conditions; risk that Refreshing may not be able to execute its growth strategies; security breaches or other disruptions of Refreshing
information technology systems or violations of data privacy laws; risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and response, including
new variants of the virus; the pace of recovery in the markets in which Refreshing operates; global supply chain disruptions and potential
staffing shortages at potential customers which may have a trickle-down effect on Refreshing; the risk that Refreshing may not be able
to develop and maintain effective internal controls; changes in interest rates; increased competition and the ability to generate sufficient
cash to fulfill obligations; loss of certain key officers; loss of continued relationships with customers or bus operators; and Pubco’s
success at managing the foregoing items. The forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs and assumptions; and
other risks and uncertainties to be identified in the Form S-4 registration/proxy statement (when available) relating to the Transaction,
including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the SEC made by Integrated Wellness or Pubco. Each
of Integrated Wellness, Pubco and Refreshing undertake no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date
of this Report except as required by law.
The financial projections presented in
this Report represent the current estimates by Refreshing’s management of future performance based on various assumptions, which
may or may not prove to be correct. Refreshing’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled
or performed any procedures with respect to the projections and accordingly they did not express an opinion or provide any other form
of assurance with respect thereto. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The
assumptions and estimates underlying these projections are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant
business, economic and competitive risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in these projections.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that these projections will be realized. Further, industry experts may disagree with these assumptions
and with management's view of the market and the prospects for Refreshing.
Additional Information and Where to Find
It
In connection with the proposed Transaction,
Pubco intends to file a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”) with the SEC, which will include a preliminary
prospectus with respect to its securities to be issued in connection with the Transaction and a preliminary proxy statement with respect
to Integrated Wellness’ shareholder meeting at which Integrated Wellness’ shareholders will be asked to vote on the proposed
Transaction. Each of Integrated Wellness, Pubco and Refreshing urge investors, shareholders, and other interested persons to read, when
available, the Form S-4, including the proxy statement/prospectus, any amendments thereto, and any other documents filed with the SEC,
before making any voting or investment decision because these documents will contain important information about the proposed Transaction.
After the Form S-4 has been filed and declared effective, Integrated Wellness will mail the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to shareholders
of Integrated Wellness as of a record date to be established for voting on the Transaction. Integrated Wellness’ shareholders will
also be able to obtain a copy of such documents, without charge, by directing a request to: Integrated Wellness Acquisition Corp., 148
N Main Street, Florida, NY 10921; e-mail: investor@integratedwellnessholdings.com. These documents, once available, can also be obtained,
without charge, at the SEC’s website www.sec.gov.
Participants in the Solicitation
Integrated Wellness, Pubco and their respective
directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of Integrated Wellness’ shareholders in connection
with the proposed Transaction. Security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations, and interests
of certain of Pubco and Integrated Wellness’ executive officers and directors in the solicitation by reading Pubco and Integrated
Wellness’ filings with the SEC, including the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials filed with the SEC in connection
with the Transaction when they become available. Information concerning the interests of Pubco and Integrated Wellness’ participants
in the solicitation, which may, in some cases, be different from those of their shareholders generally, will be set forth in the proxy
statement/prospectus relating to the Transaction when it becomes available. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the source
indicated above.
The Company and its directors and executive
officers may also be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of Integrated Wellness in connection
with the proposed Transaction. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers and information regarding their interests
in the proposed Transaction will be included in the proxy statement/prospectus for the proposed Transaction.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Report and the exhibits hereto do not
constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction in connection
with the proposed Transaction or any related transactions, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction
where, or to any person to whom, such offer, solicitation or sale may be unlawful. Any offering of securities or solicitation of votes
regarding the proposed transaction will be made only by means of a proxy statement/prospectus that complies with applicable rules and
regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, and Exchange Act, or pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act or in a transaction
not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
