The Public Warrants and Convertible Notes warrants expire on December 16, 2026, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Each such warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase 1/10 of one share of common stock, meaning that ten warrants must be exercised for a holder of warrants to receive one ordinary share of the Company at a price of $115.00 per share. Such warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares.

13Warrants (continued)

Once such warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem such warrants at a price of $0.10 per warrant if the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $180.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period. The exercise price and number of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. On December 4, 2024, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) filed a Form 25 with the SEC, removing the Public Warrants from their listing on the NYSE.

The public Tranche A Warrants and Tranche B Warrants were issued on January 24, 2025 in connection with the January 2025 Offering, with each such warrant exercisable for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $6.00 and $7.50 respectively.

The private SF Warrants were issued on March 13, 2024 to Stephen Fitzpatrick pursuant to the SF Warrant Instrument, with 10 such warrants exercisable for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $50.00.

The initial Virgin Atlantic Warrants were issued on December 16, 2021 to Virgin Atlantic pursuant to the Virgin Atlantic Warrant Instrument, with 10 such warrants exercisable for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $100.00.

Additionally, on December 16, 2021, Marcus Waley-Cohen was awarded 2,000,000 private options, with 10 such options exercisable for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $115.00.

These warrants and options meet the fixed-for-fixed criterion and are therefore recognised within other reserves until the point of exercise. The amount classified to other reserves on initial recognition reclassified to share capital and share premium upon exercise.
