NOTE 6 – FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

On November 28, 2023, the Company, Volato, Inc. and Vellar Opportunities Fund Master, Ltd. (“Seller”), entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Forward Purchase Transaction”). The Seller could purchase, prior to the closing of a business combination we completed in December 2023, up to 2.0 million shares (the “Maximum Number of Shares”) of the Company from third parties through a broker in the open market. The Number of Shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement were subject to reduction following a termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares as described under “Optional Early Termination” in the Forward Purchase Agreement.

 

Under the Forward Purchase Agreement the Seller was directly paid an aggregate cash amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares as set forth in the pricing date notice and (ii) the redemption price paid by the Company on the closing of its 2023 business combination date to holders of its common stock who exercised their redemption rights in connection with the closing.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid an aggregate amount of approximately $18.9 million. The Company collected $2.4 million in December 2023 and recognized a loss on the change in fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement in the aggregated amount of $13.4 million, which was reported in other expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

In July 2024, the Seller notified the Company of the termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement, following a delivery of a notice establishing the Valuation Date (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement); upon termination, Seller was not obligated to pay the Company a cash amount. The Company recorded the impact of the notice in the second quarter of 2024. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a loss on the change in fair value of zero and $3.0 million, respectively, reported in other expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
