QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

You received these proxy materials because you owned Class A ordinary shares, without par value, of the Company (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) as of October 15, 2026, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “record date”), and our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement describes matters on which we would like you to vote at the Annual Meeting. It also gives you information on these matters so that you can make an informed decision.

Why does the Company need to hold an annual meeting of shareholders?

The Annual Meeting is being held, in part, to satisfy the annual meeting requirement of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620 states that a listed company must have an annual shareholders’ meeting during each fiscal year. Further, pursuant to section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”), companies are required to hold an annual general meeting of shareholders at least once each calendar year and not more than 15 months after the last annual general meeting.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting online?

We will host the Annual Meeting exclusively live online. Any shareholder can attend the Annual Meeting live online and submit questions during the meeting at https://www.cstproxy.com/newhorizonaircraft/2026. To enter the Annual Meeting, you will need the 12-digit control number included in your proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials). Instructions on how to attend and participate online, including how to demonstrate proof of share ownership, are posted at https://www.cstproxy.com/newhorizonaircraft/2026. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 9:45 a.m., Eastern Time, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 67,123,941 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding. All of these outstanding shares are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on the matters described in this Proxy Statement. Each holder of Class A Ordinary Shares is entitled to one vote per Class A Ordinary Share held.

How do I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

If on the record date your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a shareholder of record. Shareholders of record may vote by using the Internet, by telephone or, if you received a proxy card by mail, by mail as described below. Shareholders of record also may attend the Annual Meeting virtually and vote during the Annual Meeting.

•        You may vote by using the Internet.    The address of the website for Internet voting is www.proxyvote.com. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 23, 2026, the day before the Annual Meeting. Easy-to-follow instructions allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

•        You may vote by telephone.    The toll-free telephone number is noted on your proxy card. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 23, 2026, the day before the Annual Meeting. Easy-to-follow voice prompts allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

•        You may vote by mail.    If you received a proxy card by mail and choose to vote by mail, simply mark your proxy card, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope. Your proxy card must be received by the close of business on November 23, 2026, the day before the Annual Meeting.

•        You may vote virtually.    You may attend the Annual Meeting virtually and vote your shares during the meeting.

When you vote by any of the above methods, you appoint Brandon Robinson, our Chief Executive Officer, and Brian Merker, our Chief Financial Officer, as your representatives (or proxyholders) at the Annual Meeting. By doing so, you ensure that your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder entitled to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or company other than the persons designated in the proxy card, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Annual Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the proxy card or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.

The securities of the Company represented by the proxy card will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and that, if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, such securities will be voted accordingly.

In addition, the proxyholder, in his discretion, is further authorized to vote (a) for the election of a person to the Board if a nominee named in this Proxy Statement becomes unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, (b) on any matter that the Board did not know would be presented at the Annual Meeting by a reasonable time before the proxy solicitation was made and (c) on other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

If you hold shares through a bank or broker (i.e., in “street name”), please refer to your proxy card or other information forwarded by your bank or broker to see which voting options are available to you.

The method you use to vote will not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you decide to attend. If you desire to vote at the Annual Meeting and hold your shares in “street name,” however, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote virtually at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote at the Annual Meeting?

We will be hosting the Annual Meeting live via webcast. Any shareholder can attend the Annual Meeting live online at https://www.cstproxy.com/newhorizonaircraft/2026. If you were a shareholder as of the record date, or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting, you can vote at the Annual Meeting. A summary of the information you need to attend the Annual Meeting online is provided below:

•        Instructions on how to attend and participate via the Internet, including how to demonstrate proof of share ownership, are posted at https://www.cstproxy.com/newhorizonaircraft/2026.

•        Assistance with questions regarding how to attend and participate via the Internet will be provided at https://www.cstproxy.com/newhorizonaircraft/2026 on the day of the Annual Meeting.

•        Webcast starts at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time.

•        You will need your 12-digit control number to enter the Annual Meeting.

•        Shareholders may submit questions while attending the Annual Meeting via the Internet.

To attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 12-digit control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. If your shares are held in “street name,” you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 12-digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker. If you lose your 12-digit control number, you may join the Annual Meeting as a “Guest”, but you will not be able to vote, ask questions or access the list of shareholders as of the record date.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the shareholder of record of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

•        You may submit a subsequent proxy by using the Internet, by telephone or by mail with a later date;

•        You may deliver a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to the Company at 3187 Highway 35 Lindsay, Ontario, K9V 4R1; or

•        You may attend the Annual Meeting virtually and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Simply attending the Annual Meeting without affirmatively voting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If you are a beneficial owner of your shares, you must contact the broker or other nominee holding your shares and follow their instructions for changing your vote.

Will there be a question and answer session during the Annual Meeting?

As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a Question and Answer (“Q&A”) session, during which we intend to answer questions from shareholders present at the Annual Meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, as time permits. Only shareholders of record as of the record date will be permitted to submit questions during the Annual Meeting. Each shareholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions should be succinct and only cover a single topic. We will not address questions that are, among other things:

•        irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Annual Meeting;

•        related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since our Annual Report;

•        related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation;

•        related to personal grievances;

•        derogatory references to individuals or that are otherwise in bad taste;

•        substantially repetitious of questions already made by another shareholder; or

•        out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting as determined by the chairman of the Annual Meeting or Compliance Officer in their reasonable judgment.

Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the “Rules of Conduct,” copies of which will be available for review at the Annual Meeting.

How many votes do you need to hold the Annual Meeting?

We will not hold the Annual Meeting unless a quorum of holders of 33 1/3 percent of the voting power of the outstanding issued shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting is represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 67,123,941 Class A Ordinary Shares entitled to 67,123,941 votes in the aggregate. Therefore, for us to have a quorum, shares entitled to 67,123,941 votes must be represented by shareholders present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you attend the Annual Meeting in person and vote at that time. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present, the meeting will stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place, and if a quorum is not present for the adjourned meeting, the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present or represented, will constitute a quorum.

What matters will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

The following matters are scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

•        Proposal 1:    To elect one Class III director nominated by our Board and named in this Proxy Statement to serve until our 2029 annual meeting of shareholders; and

•        Proposal 2:    To appoint MNP LLP as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending May 31, 2027.

No cumulative voting rights are authorized, and appraisal or dissenters’ rights are not applicable to these matters.

What will happen if I do not vote my shares?

Shareholder of Record:    Shares Registered in Your Name. If you are the shareholder of record of your shares and you do not vote by proxy card, by telephone, via the Internet or virtually at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner:    Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank. Brokers, banks or other nominees who hold our Class A Ordinary Shares for a beneficial owner in “street name” have the discretion to vote on “routine” proposals when they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner at least 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have the discretion to direct the voting of the shares. Under the rules that govern brokers that are voting shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote those shares on routine matters but not on non-routine matters. Proposal 2 is the only routine matter in this Proxy Statement. Therefore, your broker has the discretion to vote your shares on Proposal 2 but does not have discretion to vote your shares on Proposal 1.

We encourage you to provide instructions to your bank or brokerage firm by voting your proxy. This action ensures your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your wishes.

How may I vote for each proposal and what is the vote required for each proposal?

Proposal 1: Election of Class III director.

With respect to the election of the nominees for director, you may:

•        vote FOR the election of the nominee for director; or

•        WITHHOLD your vote for the nominee for director.

Directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, meaning we must receive a FOR vote from the holders of a majority of all those outstanding shares that (a) are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and (b) are cast either affirmatively or negatively for each director to be elected. Only votes cast FOR a nominee will be counted. An instruction to WITHHOLD authority to vote for a nominee will result in the nominee receiving fewer votes but will not count as a vote against the nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal 2: To appoint MNP LLP as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending May 31, 2027.

You may vote FOR or AGAINST or ABSTAIN from voting on Proposal 2. For Proposal 2 to be approved, we must receive a FOR vote from the holders of a majority of all those outstanding shares that (a) are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and (b) are cast either affirmatively or negatively on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will not be counted FOR or AGAINST Proposal 2 and will have no effect on the proposal.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board recommends that you vote FOR the director nominee and FOR Proposal 2.

What happens if I sign and return my proxy card but do not provide voting instructions?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted:

•        Proposal 1:    FOR the election of the nominee for director.

•        Proposal 2:    FOR the appointment of MNP LLP as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending May 31, 2027.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

We do not know of any other matters that may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. The proxyholders, in their discretion, are further authorized to vote (a) for the election of a person to the Board if a nominee named in this Proxy Statement becomes unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, (b) on any matter that the Board did not know would be presented at the Annual Meeting by a reasonable time before the proxy solicitation was made and (c) on other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

What happens if a director nominee is unable to stand for election?

If a nominee is unable to stand for election, the Board may either:

•        reduce the number of directors that serve on the Board; or

•        designate a substitute nominee.

If the Board designates a substitute nominee, the proxyholders will exercise their discretion as described above and vote for the substitute nominee.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

The accompanying proxy is being solicited by the Board. In addition to this solicitation, our officers, directors and employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Officers, directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We do not intend to send proxy materials for the Annual Meeting directly to beneficial shareholders who do not object to us knowing their identity (commonly referred to as “NOBOs” or “non-objecting beneficial owners”). We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. Upon request, we may reimburse brokers, dealers, banks, other agents and voting trustees and their nominees who are holders of record of our Class A Ordinary Shares on the record date for the reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What happens if the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned?

Unless the polls have closed or you have revoked your proxy, your proxy will still be in effect and may be voted once the Annual Meeting is reconvened. However, you will still be able to change or revoke your proxy with respect to any proposal until the polls have closed for voting on that proposal.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC no later than four business days following the conclusion of the Annual Meeting and in a report of voting results that we will file in Canada on SEDAR+ promptly following the Annual Meeting.

How can I find the Company’s proxy materials and Annual Report on the Internet?

This Proxy Statement and the Annual Report are available at our corporate website at www.horizonaircraft.com. You also can obtain copies without charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and in Canada on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca. Additionally, in accordance with SEC rules, you may access these materials at www.proxyvote.com.

How do I obtain a separate set of proxy materials if I share an address with other shareholders?

In some cases, shareholders holding their shares in a brokerage or bank account who share the same surname and address and have not given contrary instructions receive only one copy of the proxy materials. This practice is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save printing and postage costs. If you would like to have a separate copy of the Proxy Statement or the Annual Report mailed to you or to receive separate copies of future mailings, please submit your request to the address or phone number that appears on your proxy card. We will deliver such additional copies promptly upon receipt of such request.

In other cases, shareholders receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials at the same address may wish to receive only one. If you would like to receive only one copy if you now receive more than one, please submit your request to the address or phone number that appears on your proxy card.

Can I receive future proxy materials and annual reports electronically?

Yes. This Proxy Statement and the Annual Report are available at our corporate website at www.horizonaircraft.com. Instead of receiving paper copies in the mail, shareholders can elect to receive an email that provides a link to our future annual reports and proxy materials on the Internet. Opting to receive your proxy materials electronically will save us the cost of producing and mailing documents to your home or business, will reduce the environmental impact of our annual meetings and will give you an automatic link to the proxy voting site.

Who can I contact if I have any questions?

If you have any questions, would like additional proxy materials or proxy cards, or need assistance in voting your shares, please contact Investor Relations, New Horizon Aircraft Ltd., by mail at 3187 Highway 35, Lindsay, Ontario, K9V 4R1, by telephone at (613) 866-1935 or by email at IR@horizonaircraft.com.

Can I submit a proposal for inclusion in the Proxy Statement for the 2027 annual meeting?

Our shareholders may submit proper proposals for inclusion in our Proxy Statement and for consideration at our 2027 annual meeting of shareholders by submitting their proposals in writing to the Compliance Officer of the Company in a timely manner. Please see “Shareholder Proposals” beginning on page 37 for more information.

Can I submit a nomination for director candidates and proposals not intended for inclusion in the Proxy Statement for the 2027 annual meeting?

Our shareholders may nominate persons for election to the Board at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders by delivering written notice of the nomination to the Compliance Officer of the Company in a timely manner. Please see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposals” beginning on page 37 for more information.

Where can I obtain a copy of the Company’s Articles?

A copy of our Articles (as amended, the “Articles”) which includes provisions governing the notice requirements may be obtained by writing to the Compliance Officer of the Company. Such requests and all notices of proposals and director nominations by shareholders should be sent to New Horizon Aircraft Ltd., 3187 Highway 35, Lindsay, Ontario, K9V 4R1, Attention: Compliance Officer.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General

The Board is currently composed of five directors divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms as shown below.

Nominee for Election as Class III Director at the Annual Meeting

This year’s nominee for election to the Board as a Class III director is Brandon Robinson. Mr. Robinson is currently a member of our Board and serves as our Chief Executive Officer. For more information regarding the director nomination process, see the section entitled “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.”

Mr. Robinson is being nominated to serve until our 2029 annual meeting of shareholders, or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Mr. Robinson has agreed to serve as a director if elected, and we have no reason to believe that he will be unable to serve if elected.

____________

(1)      Number of other boards of directors of public companies on which the director currently serves.

Below is additional information about the nominee as of the date of this Proxy Statement, including business experience, public company director positions held currently or at any time during the last five years and the experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that caused our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board to determine that he should continue to serve as one of our directors.

Brandon Robinson has served as the Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of the Company since the Business Combination, and previously served as the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Horizon and led the Legacy Horizon team since its inception in 2013. He has dedicated his life to aviation, initially as a CF-18 pilot in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) before moving into large scale military capital projects. Upon leaving the CAF, Mr. Robinson discovered his passion for the Advanced Air Mobility movement. Mr. Robinson serves on the Board of Directors of the Ontario Aerospace Council. Mr. Robinson has a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from Royal Military College, an MBA from Royal Roads University, has co-authored several successful aerospace patents, and holds an Airline Transport Pilots License. His deep operational experience alongside a passion for technical innovation has propelled the Company to the forefront of the Advanced Air Mobility movement.

We believe that Mr. Robinson, given his extensive experience as a front-line fighter pilot, mechanical engineering knowledge and adept managing acumen, is qualified to serve as a member of our Board due to the unique combination of skills he brings as our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Required Vote and Recommendation of the Board for Proposal 1

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of each director nominee. Each director is elected by a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, meaning we must receive a FOR vote from the holders of a majority of all those outstanding shares that (a) are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and (b) are cast either affirmatively or negatively for each director to be elected. You may vote FOR or WITHHOLD on each nominee for election as director. Only votes cast FOR a nominee will be counted. Shares represented by signed proxy cards and ballots submitted via the Internet at the Annual Meeting will be voted

on Proposal 1 FOR the election of Mr. Robinson to the Board at the Annual Meeting, unless otherwise marked on the proxy card or ballot, respectively. A broker non-vote or a properly executed proxy (or ballot) marked WITHHOLD with respect to the election of the Class III director will not be voted with respect to such director, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the election of Brandon Robinson to the Board.

Continuing Directors Not Standing for Election at the Annual Meeting

Certain information about those directors whose terms do not expire at the Annual Meeting and who will otherwise continue to serve on the Board is furnished below, including their business experience, director positions held currently or at any time during the last five years, involvement in certain legal or administrative proceedings, if applicable, and the experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that caused the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board to determine that the directors should serve as one of our directors. The age of each director as of the record date is provided in the following table.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Overview

The Board considers good corporate governance practices to be an important factor in the overall success of the Company. National Instrument 58-101 — Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) requires issuers to disclose their corporate governance practices and National Policy 58-201 — Corporate Governance Guidelines provides guidance on such practices. With respect to the United States, the Company is required to comply with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and the applicable rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as the applicable listing standards and marketplace rules of Nasdaq (the “Nasdaq Listing Rules”). This section sets out the Company’s approach to corporate governance and addresses the Company’s compliance with NI 58-101, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Board is responsible for the stewardship of the Company and supervises the management of the business and affairs of the Company, with a goal of enhancing long-term shareholder value.

Independent Directors

The Board has evaluated the independence of its members based on the Nasdaq Listing Rules, SEC rules, and NI 58-101 and has determined that Mr. Hearne, Mr. Janjua, Dr. Maris, and Mr. Pinsent are independent directors under the applicable rules, constituting a majority of the Board. In making its determination regarding Dr. Maris, the Board considered the Company’s relationship with 3C, of which Dr. Maris is the Chief Executive Officer. See the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Persons Transactions” for more information regarding the Company’s relationship with 3C. The Board has determined that Mr. Robinson does not qualify as an independent director under the applicable rules because he is an executive officer of the Company.

In addition, the Company is subject to the rules of Nasdaq, the SEC and applicable Canadian securities laws, including National Instrument 52-110 — Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) and NI 58-101 relating to the membership, qualifications, and operations of the Audit Committee, the compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”), and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, as discussed below.

Board Committees

The Board has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of the committees report to the Board.

During the 2026 fiscal year, each member of each committee of the Board qualified as an independent director in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules described above, SEC rules and regulations and applicable Canadian securities laws. Each committee of the Board has a written charter approved by the Board. Copies of the charters for our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are posted in the “Investors” section of our website at www.horizonaircraft.com. The inclusion of our website address in this Proxy Statement does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this Proxy Statement.

The following table provides the current membership of the committees of the Board and meeting information for each of the committees of the Board. Each member of each committee of the Board qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, SEC rules and regulations and applicable Canadian securities laws.

The primary responsibilities of each committee are described below.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Hearne, Mr. Janjua, and Mr. Pinsent, with Mr. Hearne serving as the chairperson of the Audit Committee. Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, applicable SEC rules and applicable Canadian securities laws including NI 52-110, we are required to have at least three members of the Audit Committee, and under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, applicable SEC rules and applicable Canadian securities laws including NI 52-110, all of such members must be independent. Mr. Hearne, Mr. Janjua, and Mr. Pinsent each meet the independent director standard under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and NI 52-110. Our Audit Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026.

The Board has determined that Mr. Hearne qualifies as an Audit Committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations and all members meet the financial sophistication requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and are “financially literate” within the meaning of NI 52-110. Both our independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically meet privately with the Audit Committee.

The primary functions of the Audit Committee include, among other things:

•        selecting a qualified firm to serve as the auditor and independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements;

•        helping to ensure the independence and performance of the auditor and independent registered public accounting firm;

•        discussing the scope and results of the audit with the auditor and independent registered public accounting firm, and reviewing, with management and the independent accountants, our interim and year-end operating results;

Compensation Committee

Mr. Pinsent, Mr. Hearne, and Mr. Janjua serve as members of our current Compensation Committee, with Mr. Pinsent serving as the chairperson of the Compensation Committee. Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and applicable SEC rules, our Compensation Committee must consist of all independent members. The Board has determined that Mr. Pinsent, Mr. Hearne, and Mr. Janjua are each non-employee directors, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq and are also independent for purposes of NI 58-101. Our Compensation Committee held two meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026.

The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board and reviews and approves our compensation policies and all forms of compensation to be provided to our directors and executive officers, including, among other things, annual salaries, bonuses, equity incentive awards and other incentive compensation arrangements. In addition, our Compensation Committee administers the New Horizon Aircraft Ltd. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2023 Equity Incentive Plan”), including granting stock options or awarding shares of restricted stock or performance share units to our directors and executive officers. Our Compensation Committee also reviews and approves employment agreements with executive officers and other compensation policies and

matters. Our Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate to its subcommittees such power and authority as it deems appropriate to the extent consistent with our governing documents, laws, regulations or listing standards. See the section entitled “Executive Compensation — Compensation Committee” for more information.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, guidance of the Canadian Securities Administrators and our Compensation Committee charter, our Compensation Committee has the authority and responsibility to retain or obtain the advice of compensation consultants, legal counsel and other compensation advisors, the authority to direct the Company to pay such advisors and the responsibility to consider the independence factors specified under applicable law and any additional factors the compensation committee deems relevant.

Specific responsibilities of our Compensation Committee include:

•        reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

•        reviewing and approving the compensation of our other executive officers;

•        reviewing and recommending to our Board the compensation of our directors;

•        reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

•        selecting independent compensation consultants and assessing whether there are any conflicts of interest with any of the committee’s compensation advisors;

•        if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement;

•        reviewing and establishing general policies relating to compensation and benefits of our employees; and

•        reviewing our overall compensation philosophy.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Mr. Janjua, Mr. Hearne and Mr. Pinsent, with Mr. Janjua serving as the chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and applicable SEC rules, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must consist of all independent members. Mr. Janjua, Mr. Hearne and Mr. Pinsent meet the independent director standard under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and NI 58-101. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held two meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026.

The primary functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include, among other things:

•        identifying, evaluating and selecting, or recommending that our Board approve, nominees for election to our Board;

•        evaluating the performance of our Board and of individual directors;

•        reviewing developments in corporate governance practices;

•        evaluating the adequacy of our corporate governance practices and reporting;

•        reviewing management succession plans; and

•        developing and making recommendations to our Board regarding corporate governance guidelines and matters.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including having a general understanding of the Company’s industry and market. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers other factors it deems appropriate.

In evaluating potential nominees to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a wide variety of qualifications, attributes and other factors and recognizes that a diversity of viewpoints and practical experience can enhance the effectiveness of the Board. Accordingly, as part of its evaluation of each candidate, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers that candidate’s background, experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that may complement, supplement or duplicate those of other prospective candidates and current directors.

When there is a vacancy on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will be responsible for considering various potential candidates for director. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider bona fide candidates from all relevant sources, including current Board members, professional search firms, shareholders and other persons. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will conduct any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will meet to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then select a nominee for recommendation to the Board by majority vote.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders and evaluate them using the same criteria as candidates identified by the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration. If one of our shareholders wishes to recommend a director candidate for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the shareholder recommendation should be delivered to the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at our principal executive offices, and must include information regarding the candidate and the shareholder making the recommendation as required by our Articles. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposals” for more information.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying individuals for election as members of the Board, but the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider such factors as it may deem are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Such factors may include the individual’s professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities or attributes.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The skills and knowledge of the Board as a whole are such that no formal continuing education process is currently deemed required. The Board is comprised of individuals with varying backgrounds, who have, both collectively and individually, extensive experience in running and managing public companies. Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, auditors, and technical consultants to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation, with management’s assistance. Board members have full access to the Company’s records. The Company provides continuing education to its directors as such need arises and encourages open discussion at all meetings in order to encourage learning by the directors.

Board Mandate

The Board does not have a written mandate. However, it is required to supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company and to act with a view to the best interests of the Company. The Board will actively oversee the development, adoption and implementation of the Company strategies and plans. The Board’s responsibilities include:

•        to the extent feasible, satisfying itself as to the integrity of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and that the executive officers create a culture of integrity throughout the Company,

•        the Company’s strategic planning process,

•        the identification of the principal risks of the Company’s business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage risk,

•        the Company’s succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management,

•        the Company’s major business development initiatives,

•        the integrity of the Company’s internal control and management information systems,

•        the Company’s policies for communicating with shareholders and others, and

•        the general review of the Company’s results of operations.

The Board considers that certain decisions are sufficiently important that management should seek prior approval of the Board. Such decisions will include:

•        approval of the annual capital budget and any material changes to the operating budget,

•        approval of the Company’s business plan,

•        acquisition of, or investments in new business,

•        changes in the nature of the Company’s business,

•        changes in senior management,

•        any transaction which is out of the ordinary course of business or could be considered to be material to the business of the Company, and

•        all matters as required under applicable law and stock exchange rules and regulations.

Position Descriptions

The Company does not have specific position descriptions for its Board members, as any matters which have not been delegated specifically to senior management or to a committee, are the responsibility of the full Board. The Board has not developed a written position description for the chief executive officer, given the size and scope of operations of the Company. The Company considers the chief executive officer to be primarily responsible for carrying out all strategic plans and policies as established by the Board on an executive level. The chief executive officer reports to the Board and advises and makes recommendations to the Board. The chief executive officer facilitates communication between the Board and other members of management and employees, and between the Company and its shareholders.

The Board has not developed a written position description for the Chair of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board considers the Chair of each to be responsible for setting the tone for the committee work, ensuring that members have the information needed to do their jobs, overseeing the logistics of the committee’s operations, reporting to the board of directors on committee’s decisions and recommendations, setting the agenda and running and maintaining minutes of the meetings of the committee.

Board Meetings and Attendance

The Board held four meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, each incumbent member of the Board attended 75% or more of the aggregate of (a) the total number of Board meetings held during the period of such member’s service and (b) the total number of meetings of all committees on which such member served, during the period of such member’s service.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Shareholders

Directors are encouraged, but not required, to attend our annual shareholder meetings. All of our directors who were serving at the time attended our 2025 annual meeting.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our Compensation Committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of either Pono or Legacy Horizon. None of our executive officers currently serve, or have served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers that serves as a member of the Board or Compensation Committee of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

The Company recognizes that different Board leadership structures may be appropriate at different times and under different circumstances. The Board periodically reviews its leadership structure and believes it should have the flexibility to make determinations in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board does not have a policy requiring the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board to be separate, nor do Company policies require a Chairman of the Board. When assessing its leadership structure, the Board considers a range of factors, including: the skills, experience, perspectives and qualifications of directors; the performance of directors in leadership roles at the Company and other boards of directors; the specific needs and circumstances of the Company; investor feedback; and practices at other companies. The Board currently does not have a Chairman of the Board, which allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus his time and energy on operating and managing the Company while leveraging the experiences and perspectives of all directors.

Our directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management present, usually in conjunction with regularly scheduled Board meetings. In addition, at least once each year the independent directors meet in executive session without any other persons present. One of our independent directors may be chosen by the directors at each such session of independent directors to preside over the session. The Board does not currently have a lead independent director.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of the Board is informed oversight of the Company’s risk management process. The Board administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, and the Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps its management should take to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether the Company’s compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The Board has not adopted a formal written position description for the chair of each Board committee. Instead, the Board delineates the role and responsibilities of each committee chair through the company’s governance framework, committee charters, and established Board practices. Each committee operates under a charter that defines its mandate, responsibilities, and authority, including specific duties of the chair. The chair of each committee is responsible for overseeing the effective functioning of their respective committee, ensuring that the committee fulfills its responsibilities in accordance with its charter, and reporting key matters to the Board. The Audit Committee chair leads the committee in overseeing financial reporting, internal controls, and audit processes. The Compensation Committee chair is responsible for guiding discussions on executive compensation, incentive programs, and related governance matters. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee chair oversees the identification of director candidates, governance policies, and Board evaluation processes. The Board believes that this approach provides the necessary flexibility to tailor the responsibilities of each committee chair to the company’s evolving needs while maintaining robust governance oversight.

We face a number of risks, including cybersecurity risks and those other risks described under the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report filed with the SEC and on SEDAR+ on July 16, 2026. Our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the steps management has taken with respect to cybersecurity risk exposure. As part of this oversight, our Audit Committee receives regular reports from our management, including our Chief Information Security Officer and Chief Executive Officer on cybersecurity risk exposure and the actions management has taken to limit, monitor or control such exposures.

Employee, Officer and Director Hedging; Insider Trading; 10b5-1 Plans and Pledging

Our Board has adopted an insider trading policy reasonably designed to promote compliance with federal, provincial, state and foreign securities laws that prohibit certain persons who are aware of material nonpublic information about a company from: (i) trading in securities of that company; or (ii) providing material nonpublic information to other persons who may trade on the basis of that information.

Our insider trading policy prohibits our Board members, officers, employees and consultants from engaging in transactions involving options on our securities, such as puts, calls and other derivative securities, whether on an exchange or in any other markets. Our insider trading policy also prohibits our Board members, officers, employees and consultants from purchasing Company securities on margin, borrowing against Company securities held in a margin account, or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

Our insider trading policy permits our executive officers and directors to enter into trading plans established according to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. These plans may include specific instructions for a broker to exercise vested options and sell our Class A Ordinary Shares on behalf of the executive officer or director at certain dates if our share price is above a specified level or both. Under these plans, the executive officer or director no longer has control over the decision to exercise and sell the securities in the plan, unless he or she amends or terminates the trading plan during a trading window. The purpose of these plans is to enable executive officers and directors to recognize the value of their compensation and diversify their holdings of our Class A Ordinary Shares during periods in which the executive officer or director would be unable to sell our Class A Ordinary Shares because material information about us had not been publicly released.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees (the “Code of Ethics”). A copy of our Code of Ethics is posted on the “Governance — Documents” portion under the “Investors” tab of our website at www.horizonaircraft.com and on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Information contained on or accessible through our website is not a part of this Proxy Statement, and the inclusion of our website address in this Proxy Statement is an inactive textual reference only. We also intend to disclose future amendments to, or waivers of, our Code of Ethics, as and to the extent required by SEC regulations and applicable Canadian securities laws, on our website and on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile. We expect that any amendments to the Code of Ethics, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website and on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Board views good corporate governance as an integral component to the success of the Company and to meet responsibilities to shareholders. The Board encourages and promotes an overall culture of ethical business conduct by promoting compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, providing guidance to management to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues, promoting a culture of open communication, honesty and accountability and ensuring awareness of disciplinary action for violations of ethical business conduct. The Board, through its meetings with management and other informal discussions with management, encourages a culture of ethical business conduct and believes the Company’s high caliber management team promotes a culture of ethical business conduct throughout the Company’s operations and is expected to monitor the activities of the Company’s employees, consultants and agents in that regard. It is a requirement of applicable corporate law that directors and senior officers who have an interest in a transaction or agreement with the Company promptly disclose that interest at any meeting of the Board at which the transaction or agreement will be discussed and, in the case of directors, abstain from discussions and voting in respect to same if the interest is material. To date, the Company has not been required to file a material change report relating to a departure from the Code of Ethics by any of its directors or executive officers. The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates in the best interests of the Company. The Board intends that it will review compliance with the Code of Ethics on an annual basis until the Company has grown to a size which warrants more frequent monitoring.

Assessments

The Board, its committees, and individual directors are regularly assessed to evaluate their effectiveness and contribution to the Company’s governance and strategic oversight. The Board conducts an annual assessment process, which may include self-assessments, peer evaluations, and/or discussions facilitated by the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The assessment process may involve a confidential questionnaire or survey completed by directors, covering areas such as Board and committee structure, effectiveness of meetings, quality of materials provided, decision-making processes, and individual contributions. The results of these assessments may be reviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which identifies areas for improvement and makes recommendations to the Board as necessary.

In addition to formal assessments, the Board satisfies itself that it is functioning effectively through ongoing dialogue, performance discussions, and feedback from directors and senior management. This continuous review process allows the Board to address governance practices, enhance its effectiveness, and ensure that each director is contributing meaningfully to the Company’s success.

Board Diversity

The Company recognizes the value of diversity among its directors and management. Our workforce is made up of individuals of varied gender, background, skills, values and experiences. The Company also believes that a Board made up of highly qualified individuals with diverse perspectives promotes better corporate governance, superior performance and effective decision-making. Diversity includes, but is not limited to, visible and invisible characteristics such as: skills, competencies, gender, age, nationality, cultural background, education, geographic representation, business and other experience, particular areas of expertise, character and merit, and other characteristics in the environment in which the Company operates.

Policies Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board

The members of the Board have diverse backgrounds and expertise and are selected on the belief that the Company and its stakeholders would benefit from such a range of talent and expertise. The Company has not adopted a policy relating to the identification and nomination of women directors but has sought to attract diversity at the Board and executive levels on the advice of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee pursuant to the recruitment efforts of management of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for recommending, as required, director candidates to be considered against objective criteria, having due regard for the benefits of diversity, to reflect the needs of the Board. The Company believes in the importance of increased diversity, including the identification and nomination of women to the Board. The Company has not adopted a target regarding the representation of women on the Board or in executive officer positions. Rather, the Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider highly qualified candidates and take into consideration additional diversity criteria including gender, age, nationality, and educational background, business knowledge, sector specific knowledge and other experience, in identifying and selecting candidates for the Board and executive positions, which the Company believes is adequate in assessing gender diversity at the Board and executive levels.

Policies and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under the BCBCA, a director of a company is jointly and severally liable to restore to the company any amount paid or distributed as a result of paying dividends, commissions and compensation, among other things, contrary to the BCBCA. A director of a company will not be found liable under the BCBCA if the director relied, in good faith, on (i) financial statements of the company represented to the director by an officer of the company or in a written report of the auditor of the company to fairly reflect the financial position of the Company, (ii) a written report of a lawyer, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by that person, (iii) a statement of fact represented to the director by an officer of the company to be correct, or (iv) any record, information or representation that the court considers provides reasonable grounds for the actions of the director, whether or not the record was forged, fraudulently made or inaccurate, or the information or representation was fraudulently made or inaccurate. Further, a director of a company is not liable under the BCBCA if the director did not know and could not reasonably have known that the act done by the director or authorized by resolution voted for or consented to by the director was contrary to the BCBCA.

We have purchased and intend to maintain director and officer liability insurance to cover liabilities our directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to the Company, including matters arising under the Securities Act.

Our Articles provide that, subject to the BCBCA, we must indemnify all current, former or alternate directors, and such person’s heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and we must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Each director and alternate director is deemed to have contracted with us on the terms of indemnity contained in our Articles. In addition, we may indemnify any other person in accordance with the BCBCA.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents in which indemnification will be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceedings that may result in a claim for such indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling the combined company, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Communications to the Board

Shareholders and other parties interested in communicating with the independent directors regarding their concerns or issues may address correspondence to a particular director or to the independent directors generally, care of New Horizon Aircraft Ltd., 3187 Highway 35, Lindsay, Ontario, K9V 4R1, Attention: Compliance Officer. The Compliance Officer has the authority to disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any inappropriate communications. If the Compliance Officer deems a communication to be appropriate, they will forward it, depending on the subject matter, to the chair of a committee of the Board, the full Board or a particular director, as appropriate.

Director Compensation

Decisions regarding the compensation to be paid to the members of our Board, if any, are determined and/or ratified by the Board with recommendations given by the Compensation Committee. Non-employee directors are compensated with a combination of cash and shares. Additionally, we provide reimbursement to our non-employee directors for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board and its committees. Directors may also receive equity awards from time to time. Directors who also serve as an employee of the Company do not receive additional compensation for their service as a director.

PROPOSAL 2
APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR AND INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Appointment of MNP LLP

The Audit Committee of the Board has recommended MNP LLP (“MNP”), an independent registered public accounting firm, as our independent auditors for the year ending May 31, 2027, and has further directed that management submit the recommendation of independent auditors for approval by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. MNP has served as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm since April 3, 2024.

Representatives of MNP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

If the shareholders fail to approve the recommendation, the Audit Committee of the Board will reconsider whether or not to continue to retain MNP. If the appointment is approved, the Audit Committee of the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Required Vote and Recommendation of the Board for Proposal 2

For the recommendation by the Audit Committee of MNP as the auditor and independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ending May 31, 2027, to be approved, we must receive a FOR vote from the holders of a majority of all those outstanding shares that (a) are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and (b) are cast either affirmatively or negatively on Proposal 2. Shares represented by signed proxy cards and ballots submitted via the Internet at the Annual Meeting will be voted FOR Proposal 2 at the Annual Meeting, unless otherwise marked on the proxy card or ballot, respectively. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted FOR or AGAINST the proposal and will have no effect on the proposal. Brokers holding shares for a beneficial owner that have not received voting instructions with respect to the approval of the appointment of MNP will have discretionary voting authority with respect to this matter.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR Proposal 2.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has pre-approved all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit).

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm and the fees for the services to be performed. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. Our independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.

Our Audit Committee adopted the Audit Committee charter that sets forth the authority and procedures pursuant to which the Audit Committee shall pre-approve (or, where permitted under SEC rules to subsequently approve) audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor.

The percentage of hours expended on MNP’s engagement to audit the Company’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than MNP’s full-time, permanent employees was not greater than 50%.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. Each member of our Audit Committee meets the independence requirements contained in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, SEC rules and NI 52-110. The Audit Committee recommends, subject to shareholder approval, our independent public accountants.

Our management has primary responsibility for our internal controls and financial reporting process. Our independent external auditor, MNP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our financial statements and issuing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2026.

The Audit Committee also discussed with MNP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from MNP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding MNP’s communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with MNP their independence. The Audit Committee considered with MNP whether the non-audit services that MNP provided to us during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, were compatible with their independence.

Based upon the review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report for filing with the SEC and SEDAR+.

Related Party Transactions Policy

Our Board has adopted a written Related Party Transactions Policy (the “Related Party Transactions Policy”) that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related party transactions.” For purposes of the policy only, a “related party transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we or any of our subsidiaries are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000, in which any “related party” has a material interest.

A “related party” is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons.

Pursuant to the Related Party Transactions Policy, throughout the year, directors and executive officers are required to notify the General Counsel, if any, or in the absence of a General Counsel, the Chief Financial Officer (such person, the “Compliance Officer”), of any potential related party transaction as soon as they become aware of any such transaction. The Compliance Officer shall inform the Audit Committee of any related party transaction of which the Compliance Officer becomes aware. The Compliance Officer is responsible for conducting a preliminary analysis and review of potential related party transactions and presentation to the Audit Committee.

If the Compliance Officer determines that the proposed transaction is a related party transaction, such proposed transaction shall be submitted to the Audit Committee for consideration at the next Audit Committee meeting or, in those instances in which the Compliance Officer, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, determines that it is not practicable or desirable for the Company to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting, to the Chair of the Audit Committee who shall thereafter call a special meeting of the Audit Committee to review such proposed transaction.

No member of the Audit Committee shall participate in any review, consideration or approval of any related party transaction with respect to which such member or any of his or her immediate family members is the related party. Only those related party transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its shareholders shall be approved or ratified as the Audit Committee determines in good faith.

As necessary, the Audit Committee will review each approved related party transaction on a periodic basis throughout the duration of the transaction to ensure that the transaction remains in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Audit Committee may, in its discretion, engage outside counsel to review certain related party transaction.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, certain officers and any beneficial owners of more than 10% of our Class A Ordinary Shares to file reports relating to their ownership and changes in ownership of our Class A Ordinary Shares with the SEC by certain deadlines and furnish copies of such reports to us.

Based solely upon a review of those reports and written representations provided to us by all of our directors and executive officers, except as described below, we believe that during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, our directors, executive officers and greater than 10% shareholders timely filed all reports they were required to file under Section 16(a): a Form 4 filing for Brandon Robinson reporting the vesting of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) that was due on June 13, 2025, which was filed on July 10, 2025; a Form 4 filing for Brian Merker reporting the vesting of PSUs that was due on June 13, 2025, which was filed on July 10, 2025; a Form 4 filing for Jason O’Neill reporting the vesting of PSUs that was due on June 13, 2025, which was filed on July 10, 2025; a Form 4 filing for Stewart Lee reporting the vesting of PSUs that was due on June 13, 2025, which was filed on July 10, 2025; a Form 4 for Stewart Lee reporting an open market sale that was due on July 1, 2025, which was filed on July 15, 2025; Form 4s for Brandon Robinson reporting the disposition of shares to cover tax withholding obligations on each of July 18, 2025, July 22, 2025, July 23, 2025, and August 5, 2025, each of the aforementioned dispositions which was subsequently reported on a Form 4 filed on August 8, 2025; a Form 4 for Jason O’Neill reporting the disposition of shares to cover tax withholding obligations that was not filed (the aforementioned disposition was subsequently reported on a Form 4 filed on August 8, 2025); a Form 4 for Stewart Lee reporting the disposition of shares to cover tax withholding obligations that was not filed (the aforementioned disposition was subsequently reported on a Form 4 filed on August 8, 2025); Form 4s for Brandon Robinson reporting open market sales made by Robinson Family Ventures Inc. on September 23, 2025 and September 24, 2025, each of which were not filed (each of the aforementioned dispositions was subsequently reported on a Form 4 filed on October 3, 2025); one Form 4 for Brandon Robinson related to the vesting of PSUs that was not filed (the aforementioned transaction was subsequently reported on a Form 4 filed on October 14, 2025); one Form 4 for Brian Merker related to the vesting of PSUs that was not filed (the aforementioned transaction was subsequently reported on a Form 4 filed on October 14, 2025); one Form 4 for Jason O’Neill related to the vesting of PSUs that was not filed (the aforementioned transaction was subsequently reported on a Form 4 filed on October 14, 2025); and one Form 4 for Stewart Lee related to the vesting of PSUs that was not filed (the aforementioned transaction was subsequently reported on a Form 4 filed on October 14, 2025).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Objectives and Overview

We believe that the skill, talent, judgment and dedication of our executive officers and other key employees are critical factors affecting our long-term shareholder value. Therefore, our goal is to maintain a compensation program that will fairly compensate our executive officers, attract and retain highly qualified executive officers, motivate the performance of our executive officers towards, and reward the achievement of, clearly defined corporate goals, and align our executive officers’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders. We believe that for our company, stock-based compensation is a significant motivator in attracting employees, and while base salary and the potential for cash bonuses must be at competitive levels, performance is most significantly affected by appropriately relating the potential for creating shareholder value to an individual’s compensation potential through the use of equity awards.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board is comprised of three non-employee members of the Board. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of our management in achieving corporate objectives and aims to ensure that the executive officers are compensated effectively in a manner consistent with our compensation philosophy and competitive practice. Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee may delegate any of its responsibilities to a subcommittee comprised of one or more members of the Compensation Committee. Such delegation may include, but is not limited to, the authority to review and approve compensation matters, equity awards, or other matters that require detailed analysis. The Compensation Committee may not delegate any authority that applicable law or Nasdaq listing standards require to be exercised by the Compensation Committee as a whole. In fulfilling this responsibility, the Compensation Committee annually reviews the performance of each executive officer. Our Chief Executive Officer, as the manager of the executive team, assesses our executive officers’ contributions to the corporate goals and makes a recommendation to the Compensation Committee with respect to any merit increase in salary, cash bonus and equity award for each member of the executive team other than himself. The Compensation Committee meets with the Chief Executive Officer to evaluate, discuss and modify or approve these recommendations. The Compensation Committee also conducts a similar evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer’s contributions when the Chief Executive Officer is not present, and determines any increase in salary, cash bonus and equity award.

2026 Summary Compensation Table

The following table summarizes the compensation that we paid to our Chief Executive Officer and each of our two other most highly compensated executive officers during the years ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 in $CAD. We refer to these executive officers in this Proxy Statement as our “named executive officers.”

____________

(1)      Amounts reflect awards under the Company’s short-term incentive plan. Awards in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026, were satisfied with cash. Awards in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025, were satisfied in the form of Class A ordinary shares.

(2)      Amounts reflect the granting of Performance Share Units and the Company’s contribution to each individual under the ESPP (defined below).

(3)      Options vest and become exercisable in three equal installments over a 3-year period. Options granted in the year-ended May 31, 2025, were issued with a strike price equal to $USD 0.61.

Narrative to the Summary Compensation Table

Annual Base Salary

We pay our named executive officers a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to our company. The base salary payable to our named executive officers is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities.

Equity Compensation

We have granted stock options to our employees, including our named executive officers, in order to attract and retain them, as well as to align their interests with the interests of our shareholders. In order to provide a long-term incentive, these stock options vest over three years subject to continued service.

We adopted the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, effective January 12, 2024, as amended by shareholders on December 17, 2024. The plan is designed to attract, retain, and motivate directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors (and prospective service providers) whose contributions are essential to the Company’s long-term growth and profitability.

Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Savings and Health Spending Account and Group Benefits

All of our full-time employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our pension and health plans. The health spending account program will reimburse costs that include medical, dental and vision benefits; a group benefits plan to provide for short-term and long-term disability insurance; life and AD&D insurance will be offered to all full-time employees. In May 2024, the Company established an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) whereby employees can elect to allocate between 1-5% of earnings to the purchase of Company stock in the open market, matched equally by the Company.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We determine perquisites on a case-by-case basis and will provide a perquisite to a named executive officer when we believe it is necessary to attract or retain the named executive officer. We did not provide any perquisites or personal benefits to our named executive officers not otherwise made available to our other employees in fiscal year 2026.

Executive Compensation Arrangements

Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into employment agreements with its executive officers:    Brandon Robinson (Chief Executive Officer), Jason O’Neill (Chief Operating Officer), and Brian Merker (Chief Financial Officer) (each an “Employment Agreement”, and collectively, the “Employment Agreements”).

The Employment Agreements all provide for at-will employment that may be terminated by the employee with thirty days’ notice to the Company of resignation from employment; by the Company without notice, payment in lieu of notice, benefit continuation (if applicable) or compensation of any kind, where permitted by the Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000, as amended from time to time (the “ESA”), which includes willful misconduct, disobedience or willful neglect of duty that is not trivial and has not been condoned by the Company; or by the Company with notice or pay in lieu of notice by providing the employee (i) the minimum amount of notice, pay in lieu of notice (or a combination of both), severance pay, vacation pay and benefit continuation (if applicable) and any other entitlements strictly required by the ESA, calculated from the date of the employee’s original employment

with the Company; plus (ii) such additional amount of payment of Base Salary (as defined below) in lieu of notice (“Additional Pay in Lieu of Notice”), as is necessary to ensure that the aggregate of the statutory notice, pay in lieu of notice and severance pay entitlements and the Additional Pay in Lieu of Notice under sub-section (ii), at a minimum equals twelve (12) months, and such aggregate shall increase by additional one (1) month payment of the employee’s Base Salary in lieu of notice for each completed year of service from the effective date to an overall cumulative maximum of 24 months of Base Salary; plus, (iii) payment of a prorated portion of any bonuses that the employee is eligible to receive as of the date of termination, calculated to the end of the Severance Period based upon the average incentive compensation paid to the employee in the two years prior to the year in which notice of termination is communicated. For the purposes of the Employment Agreements, the period for which an employee receives notice and/or payment, calculated from the date the employee is advised of the termination of his employment, is the “Severance Period.”

If following a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreements), the Company gives the employee Good Reason to terminate his employment and the related Employment Agreement, and provided the employee exercises that right within two years from the date of the Change of Control, the employee shall be entitled to receive the benefits set forth above, as if the employee’s employment had been terminated on a without cause basis. “Good Reason” means the occurrence of (i) a constructive termination of employment and of the Employment Agreement; (ii) any material and unilateral change in employee’s title, responsibilities, or authority in place at the time of the Change of Control; (iii) any material reduction in the Base Salary paid to employee at the time of the Change of Control; (iv) any termination or material reduction in the aggregate value of the employee benefit programs, including, but not limited to, pension, life, disability, health, medical or dental insurance, in which the employee participated or under which the employee was covered at the time of Change of Control; or (v) the employee’s assignment to any significant, ongoing duties inconsistent with his skills, position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company, which results in material diminution of such position.

The current base salaries under the Employment Agreements are $USD 315,000 for Brandon Robinson; $CAD 288,875 for Brian Merker, and $CAD 265,000 for Jason O’Neill (each a “Base Salary”). Possible annual performance bonuses and equity grants under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, are to be determined by Horizon’s compensation committee.

Contractor Agreement

In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into a Contractor Agreement (the “Contractor Agreement”), dated January 12, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), by and among the Company, 2195790 Alberta Inc. (the “Contractor”) and Stewart Lee (the “Keyman”). Pursuant to the Contractor Agreement, the Contractor will be providing certain services (the “Services”) as the Head of People & Strategy through the Keyman. The term of the Contractor Agreement began on the Effective Date and expired on December 31, 2025. The Contractor Agreement currently continues on a month-to-month basis and may be extended by mutual written agreement of the parties. The Company will pay the Contractor for the performance of the Services fees in the amount of $CAD180.00 per hour (the “Fees”).

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Proposals to be Included in Our Proxy Statement

If you want to submit a proposal for inclusion in our Proxy Statement for the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders, you may do so by following the procedures in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Under Rule 14a-8(e), your proposal must be received at the Company’s principal executive office, at the following address: New Horizon Aircraft Ltd., 3187 Highway 35, Lindsay, Ontario, K9V 4R1, Attention: Compliance Officer, no later than June 28, 2027 (120 days before the anniversary of this year’s mailing date). If the date of the 2027 annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials, which in the Company’s opinion would be no less than 120 days before that date.

To be eligible to submit a proposal under Rule 14a-8, you must have continuously held at least: (a) $2,000 in market value of the Company’s securities entitled to vote on the proposal for at least three years; (b) $15,000 in market value of such securities for at least two years; or (c) $25,000 in market value of such securities for at least one year. Your proposal, including any accompanying supporting statement, may not exceed 500 words. You must also provide a written statement that you intend to continue to hold the requisite amount of securities through the date of the 2027 annual meeting and that you are able to meet with the Company in person or via teleconference no less than 10 calendar days, nor more than 30 calendar days, after submission of the proposal. Please refer to Rule 14a-8 for additional eligibility and procedural requirements.

Proposals Under the BCBCA

In addition to the federal proxy rules, shareholders may submit proposals under section 188 of the BCBCA. For a shareholder proposal to be eligible under the BCBCA for the 2027 annual meeting, the shareholder proposal must be received at the Company’s registered office, at the following address: Suite 2300, 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2B5, no later than August 24, 2027, which is three months before the anniversary of this year’s annual general meeting. In addition, the proposal must be in writing, accompanied by the requisite declarations and signed by the submitter and qualified shareholders who at the time of signing are the registered or beneficial owners of shares that, in the aggregate: (a) constitute at least 1% of our issued Class A Ordinary Shares that have the right to vote at general meetings; or (b) have a fair market value in excess of C$2,000. For the submitter or a qualified shareholder to be eligible to sign the proposal, that shareholder must have been the registered shareholder or beneficial owner entitled to vote at our annual general meetings for an uninterrupted period of at least two years before the date the proposal is signed.

The proposal must be accompanied by a declaration from the submitter and each supporter, signed by the submitter or supporter, as the case may be, or, in the case of a submitter or supporter that is a corporation, by a director or senior officer of the signatory: (i) providing the name of and a mailing address for that signatory; (ii) declaring the number and class or series of shares carrying the right to vote at general meetings that are owned by that signatory as a registered owner or beneficial owner; and (iii) unless the name of the registered owner has already been provided, providing the name of the registered owner of those shares. A proposal may be accompanied by one written statement in support of the proposal. The proposal and, if any, the statement, together, must not exceed 1,000 words in length (excluding signatures and the declarations referred to above).

Proposals to be Presented at the 2027 Annual Meeting but Not Included in Our Proxy Statement

For any proposal that is not submitted for inclusion in our proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (as described above) but is instead sought to be presented directly at the 2027 annual meeting, SEC rules govern when the Company may exercise discretionary voting authority over such proposals. Our Articles do not contain an advance notice provision applicable to general shareholder proposals (as distinct from director nominations). As a result, under Rule 14a-4(c)(1) of the Exchange Act, the Company may exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to any such proposal if it does not receive notice of the proposal at least 45 days before the anniversary of the date on which the Company first sent its proxy materials for the 2026 Annual Meeting. If during the prior year the Company did not hold an annual meeting, or if the date of the 2027 annual meeting has changed more than 30 days from the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting, then notice must be received a reasonable time before the Company sends its proxy materials for the current year, which in the Company’s opinion would be no less than 45 days before that date.

Even if timely notice of a non-Rule 14a-8 proposal is received, the Company may still exercise discretionary voting authority on the proposal if it includes in the proxy statement advice on the nature of the matter and how it intends to exercise its discretion to vote, unless the proponent satisfies the conditions set forth in Rule 14a-4(c)(2) regarding an independent proxy solicitation.

Director Nominations

Pursuant to Article 14.12 of our Articles, shareholders who wish to nominate persons for election to the Board at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders must deliver written notice of the nomination to the Company at New Horizon Aircraft Ltd., 3187 Highway 35, Lindsay, Ontario, K9V 4R1, Attention: Compliance Officer, not less than 30, nor more than 65 days prior, to the date of the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date (the “Notice Date”) on which the first public announcement of the date of the 2027 annual meeting was made, notice by the nominating shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the Notice Date. Adjournments or postponements of the meeting do not commence a new time period for the giving of such notice. Please refer to Article 14.12 of our Articles for additional eligibility and procedural requirements.

Proxy Access

The Company’s Articles do not provide for proxy access, meaning they do not provide shareholders with the right to have their director nominees included in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy. There is no applicable state or foreign law provision that provides for shareholder proxy access to nominate candidates for director for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials. Accordingly, shareholders who wish to nominate directors must do so in accordance with the advance notice procedures described above or by conducting their own proxy solicitation.

Solicitation of Proxies in Support of Director Nominees Other Than the Board’s Nominees

In addition to satisfying the requirements of the Company’s Articles, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Board’s nominees at the 2027 annual meeting must also provide notice to the Company in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act. Under Rule 14a-19(b), such notice must be postmarked or transmitted electronically to the Company at its principal executive office no later than 60 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the 2026 Annual Meeting date. If the Company did not hold an annual meeting during the prior year, or if the date of the 2027 annual meeting has changed by more than 30 calendar days from the prior year, then notice must be provided by the later of 60 calendar days prior to the date of the 2027 annual meeting or the 10th calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2027 annual meeting is first made by the Company. The notice must include the names of all nominees for whom such person intends to solicit proxies and a statement that such person intends to solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees.

The advance notice requirement under Rule 14a-19 shall not supersede or diminish the notice requirement under the Company’s Articles. Shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Board’s nominees must comply with both the Company’s advance notice requirements under Article 14.12 and the requirements of Rule 14a-19.
