ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Volato Group, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “the Company”, or “Volato”) is a holding company for several wholly owned subsidiaries, including Volato, Inc., Fly Vaunt, LLC, Gulf Coast Aviation, LLC (f/k/a Gulf Coast Aviation, Inc.), Parslee, LLC and Modern Aero Charter, LLC. The Company’s primary operating subsidiary was founded in 2021. That year, the Company entered the private jet charter and fractional ownership market with its Part 135 HondaJet ownership program, taking delivery of its first jet in August 2021 and completing its first Part 135 charter flight in October of 2021. In March 2022, the Company acquired Gulf Coast Aviation, Inc. (n/k/a Gulf Coast Aviation, LLC), owner of GC Aviation, Inc., a Part 135 air carrier certificate holder. In March 2022, the Company placed orders for four Gulfstream G280s for delivery in 2024 and 2025. In September 2022, the Company started internal development on its full suite Flight Management Software platform Mission Control, in the fourth quarter of 2023 the Company commercially launched Vaunt, our proprietary consumer facing empty leg platform, and in the fourth quarter of 2025 the Company commercially launched Parslee, our AI based document intelligence platform. In September 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with flyExclusive, Inc., (“flyExclusive”) a leading provider of private jet charter services, to transition the management of its aircraft ownership fleet operations to flyExclusive. This move was intended to bring substantial cost savings and allow Volato to focus on its potential high-growth areas, including aircraft sales and proprietary software products. The Company has continued to generate revenue from its proprietary software, including the Vaunt platform, its empty leg consumer app. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we transferred our aircraft lease agreements to flyExclusive and have no further obligations under the aircraft lease agreements or control over flight operations. The Company has retained insider card liabilities of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2026. On February 24, 2025, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding Class A common stock (also referred to as “common stock” in this Quarterly Report), at a ratio of 1-for-25 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with no change in par value. All share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to account for the split as if it occurred at inception. On March 20, 2025, the Company sold its former subsidiary GC Aviation, Inc., which held the FAA Part 135 certificate for $2.0 million, of which $1.8 million is a note receivable. The Company is currently accruing interest on the note. On July 28, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Volato Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Nevada corporation and then wholly-owned subsidiary of Volato (“Merger Sub”), and M2i Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“M2i”), pursuant to which Merger Sub was to merge with and into M2i, with M2i surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Volato (together with all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Merger”). On June 4, 2026, the Company delivered written notice to M2i terminating the Merger Agreement and abandoning the transactions contemplated thereby. In July 2025, the Company began development of an Artificial Intelligence based software platform designed to enhance the reliability of leading large language models when analyzing contracts, SEC filings and reports, and other structured documents. On October 1, 2025, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to Aircraft Management Services Agreement (as amended the “Agreement”) with flyExclusive to bring the Agreement in line with Company’s anticipated shift in operations, new business directives, and to better accommodate the contemplated Merger with M2i. The Amendment served to (i) modify the term of the Agreement; (ii) grant flyExclusive, subject to certain terms and conditions, the right to purchase certain aviation-related assets from the Company and assume certain obligations of the Company (the “flyExclusive Asset Option”); (iii) grant the Company, subject to certain terms and conditions, the right to sell certain aviation-related assets to flyExclusive and assign certain obligations of the Company to flyExclusive (the “Company Asset Option,” and collectively with the flyExclusive Asset Option, the “Asset Options”); (iv) obligate flyExclusive to pay the Company $100,000 upon execution of the Amendment as settlement of net payables owed by flyExclusive to the Company under the terms of the Agreement (the “Net Payables Obligation”); and (v) modify the material terms of flyExclusive’s right to cause the Company to merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive (the “flyExclusive Merger Option”), including that the flyExclusive Merger Option is to be only exercisable in the event that the Company and M2i terminate the Merger Agreement. flyExclusive paid the Net Payables Obligation by issuing the Company 20,576 shares of Class A common stock. As consideration for the execution of the Amendment, flyExclusive agreed to pay $2,000,000 to the Company, in cash or shares of flyExclusive Class A common stock, in exchange for the right to receive either (i) the net proceeds that the Company receives from the sale of a certain G280 aircraft, or (ii) if, and only if, Gulfstream provides written consent, assignment of the G280 Agreement from the Company to flyExclusive subject to the execution of an asset purchase agreement relating solely to the transfer of the G280 Agreement. The G280 aircraft was later delivered to the Company pursuant to an existing agreement (the “G280 Agreement”) with Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation (“Gulfstream”). flyExclusive elected to pay all of the $2,000,000 in shares of its Class A common stock and issued an aggregate of 411,523 shares of its Class A common stock to the Company, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2025. In January 2026, the Company paid a dividend of 432,099 shares of Class A common stock of flyExclusive to Volato shareholders. On March 6, 2026, the Company signed amendment number five to the Agreement with flyExclusive, pursuant to which the Company sold certain unused intellectual property assets for $1.3 million payable in cash or shares of flyExclusive’s Class A common stock. Such assets represent a portion of the total assets which were anticipated to be sold under one of the Asset Options as described above. flyExclusive issued an aggregate of 451,901 shares of its Class A common stock to the Company in March 2026 which is recorded as Investment in flyExclusive on the consolidated balance sheets. With the sale of the asset, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of the asset of $0.8 million which is recorded in Other Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Following the sale of the intellectual property assets pursuant to the fifth amendment, there is $700,000 in remaining assets that may be sold to flyExclusive under the terms of the Agreement, as amended.
