Item 8.01 Other Events
On July 16, 2012, JWC Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has established a record date for the special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote on several proposals related to the prospective business combination (the “Business Combination”) with The Tile Shop, LLC (“The Tile Shop”), pursuant to which, through a series of transactions, the Company and The Tile Shop would be combined under a new holding company named Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (“TS Holdings”). The Company’s stockholders of record at the close of business on July 23, 2012 will be entitled to vote on the stockholder proposals. A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Additional Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It
In connection with the Business Combination, TS Holdings filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4, which includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, on July 2, 2012 (File No. 333-182482)(the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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 when available. The Company’s 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 (when available), because they contain 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 of record as of July 23, 2012. Stockholders may obtain copies of the Registration Statement, which includes the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus (when available), 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.

Participants in Solicitation
The Company and its directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to the Company’s stockholders with respect to the proposed Business Combination.
