Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to Schedule 13D relates to the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on July 22, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto (“Amendment No. 1”), filed by the Reporting Person on August 15, 2023 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the last paragraph of Item 4 of Amendment No. 1 and replacing it with the following:

 

“On August 8, 2023, the Reporting Person entered into a short term interim financing arrangement in the form of a secured promissory note (the “Original Note”) under which the Issuer has borrowed $15 million from the Reporting Person. The Original Note was subsequently amended by a First Amendment to the Secured Promissory Note, dated August 15, 2023 and a Second Amendment to the Secured Promissory Note, dated August 21, 2023 (as so amended, the “Secured Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Reporting Person committed to fund additional principal amounts of $10 million and $20 million, respectively, which brought the total amount borrowed under the Secured Promissory Note to $45 million. Borrowings under the Secured Promissory Note mature on February 4, 2024 and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest will accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Secured Promissory Note, together with all other outstanding liabilities, interest, expenses, fees and other sums under the Secured Promissory Note, at the applicable rate plus an additional 2% per annum (the “Default Rate”). Any interest accruing at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand by the Reporting Person. Borrowings under the Secured Promissory Note are secured by certain unencumbered aircraft, intellectual property and other assets of the Issuer. The Secured Promissory Note contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants customary for secured financings of its type as well as customary events of default.”

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 is hereby amended by replacing the first paragraph of Item 6 with the following:

 

“The responses of the Reporting Person to Items 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D, as amended by this Amendment No. 2, are incorporated into this Item 6 by reference.”
