Common Stock Warrants | Note 8 – Common Stock Warrants
Warrants Classified as Equity Public Warrants The Company has outstanding warrants that are publicly traded on the NYSE (the “Public Warrants”) under the ticker EVEXW. Each Public Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, to be exercised only for a whole number of shares of our common stock. The Public Warrants are exercisable provided that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in their warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. The Public Warrants expire five years after the consummation of the Company’s business combination on May 9, 2022 (“Closing”) or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. We may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, if the last sale price of our common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading days period ending on the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
In connection with the 2024 Private Placement, certain investors agreed to cancel 3,296,470 Public Warrants in exchange for 1,318,588 shares of common stock of the Company.
As of June 30, 2025, there were 8,203,407 Public Warrants outstanding. New Warrants The Company has entered into warrant agreements with certain strategic private investment in public equity investors (“Strategic PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions of each applicable warrant agreement. The Company has issued or has agreed to issue warrants to the Strategic PIPE Investors (the “New Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price of either (i) $0.01 per share (“Penny Warrants”) or (ii) $15.00 or $11.50 per share (“Market Warrants”). Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company, if applicable conditions have been met.
Because the cash received for the common stock and New Warrants is significantly different from their fair value, management considers such warrants to have been issued other than at fair market value. Accordingly, such warrants represent units of account separate from the shares of common stock that were issued to the Strategic PIPE Investors in connection with their respective investment and therefore require separate accounting treatment. Terms related to the issuance and exercisability of the New Warrants differ among the Strategic PIPE Investors and each New Warrant is independently exercisable such that the exercise of any individual warrant does not depend on the exercise of another. As such, management has concluded that all New Warrants meet the criteria to be legally detachable and separately exercisable and therefore freestanding. Forfeitures of New Warrants within the scope of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, are estimated by the Company and reviewed when circumstances change.
Penny Warrants
Penny Warrants issued or issuable to Strategic PIPE Investors were determined to be within the scope of ASC 718 for classification and measurement and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for recognition. In accordance with ASC 718, these warrants were determined to be equity-classified.
Certain Penny Warrants have been issued and vested immediately upon Closing. The warrants were accounted for akin to a non-refundable upfront payment to the Strategic PIPE Investor and were recognized as expense when incurred as the Company had no current revenue or binding contracts when the warrants vested.
Other Penny Warrants were issued or are issuable contingent upon meeting certain future conditions or Company milestones. These warrants are recognized when certain conditions are satisfied or milestones are determined probable. The consideration will be classified as either a reduction of revenue under ASC 606 if there are related revenue transactions in place at vesting or otherwise as expense. The vesting conditions and milestones are as follows: (a) receipt of binding eVTOL purchase commitments from certain Strategic Investors, (b) receipt of the first type certification for eVTOL in compliance with certain airworthiness authorities, (c) the time at which ten vertiports that have been developed or implemented with the services of a certain Strategic Investor have entered operation or are technically capable of entering operation, (d) receipt of certain services and support agreements and (e) receipt of a binding purchase commitment from a third-party to purchase an eVTOL jointly developed by Embraer and a certain Strategic Investor.
In connection with the 2024 Private Placement, an additional 2,500,000 Penny Warrants were issued contingent upon the first type certification for the eVTOL in compliance with certain airworthiness authorities.
The Penny Warrants were measured at fair value on the grant date. The grant date is either the original grant date or, in cases where there has been a modification to the underlying agreement, the effective date of the modified agreement is used as the new grant date for determining fair value. The grant date fair value of Penny Warrants was calculated by subtracting $0.01 from Company’s common stock share price on the grant date.
As of June 30, 2025, there were 21,022,536 Penny Warrants outstanding, of which 6,000,000 were vested and exercisable.
Market Warrants
Market Warrants were issued and vested immediately at Closing and have no contingencies. These warrants were determined to be within the scope of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, for classification and measurement and were expensed when vested. The warrants were determined to be equity-classified.
In connection with the 2024 Private Placement, an investor agreed to cancel 5,000,000 Market Warrants with an exercise price of $11.50 in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 12,000,000 Market Warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $15.00.
Warrants Classified as Liabilities
Private Warrants
The Company has outstanding warrants issued in private placements (the “Private Warrants”), which are recorded in the “Derivative financial instruments” line of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Each Private Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to conditions as defined in the respective warrant agreement. The Private Warrants have similar terms as the Public Warrants, except for the $0.01 cash redemption feature. However, in the event a Private Warrant is transferred to a third-party not affiliated with the Company (referred to as a non-permitted transferee), the warrant becomes a Public Warrant and is subject to the $0.01 cash redemption feature. If this occurs, the calculation changes for the settlement amount of the Private Warrants. Since the settlement amount depends solely on who holds the instrument, which is not an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity shares, the Private Warrants are liability classified.
As of June 30, 2025, there were 14,250,000 Private Warrants outstanding. |
