Volato Group (NYSE American: SOAR) provided preliminary fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial guidance and update on its pending merger with M2i Global (OTC: MTWO). For Q4 2025, Volato expects revenue $27M–$28M. For full year 2025, the company anticipates total revenue $78M–$79M and net income $6M–$8M. As of September 30, 2025, Volato reduced total liabilities to $9.5M, meeting the debt reduction condition in the merger agreement.

Volato Group (NYSE American: SOAR) received written notice dated December 18, 2025 from NYSE American that its consolidated shareholders’ equity now exceeds the minimum required by Section 1003(a), restoring compliance with the exchange’s equity listing standard.

As a result, the .BC noncompliance indicator will be removed from the Company’s trading symbol and Volato will be removed from NYSE American’s list of noncompliant issuers, though it will remain subject to continued listing monitoring procedures.

The company said the restored equity position and a simplified operating footprint after divesting aviation assets position Volato to advance its strategic priorities, including a proposed merger with M2i Global expected to close in Q1 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory review.

Volato Group (NYSE American: SOAR) set a preliminary shareholder meeting for February 26, 2026 and a preliminary record date of January 17, 2026 to vote on a proposed merger with M2i Global (OTCQB: MTWO).

The merger would combine M2i Global’s mining, refining, and recycling platform with Volato’s aviation technology and software. Pro forma ownership is expected to be approximately 85% for M2i Global shareholders and 15% for Volato shareholders on a fully diluted, as-converted basis, excluding Volato warrant shares. The companies cite participation in an estimated $320 billion annual U.S. critical minerals market.
