Rhea-AI Filing Summary

AIR Global PLC, now listed on Nasdaq as “AIIR,” filed a post‑business‑combination Form 20‑F after completing its SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners III and acquiring AIR Limited on May 15, 2026. Following the transactions, 160,386,602 Pubco ordinary shares were issued and outstanding, out of 600,000,000 authorized shares.

Before closing, 22,373,640 CAEP Class A shares were redeemed for about $234.7 million, leaving 5,226,360 CAEP Class A shares outstanding at closing. AIR operates as Pubco’s wholly owned subsidiary and is described as a leading global producer of branded flavored molasses for hookah, with an estimated 36%–44% market share in its operating markets (excluding Russia and Turkey) as of December 31, 2025.

Ownership is highly concentrated: affiliates of Kingsway Capital Partners Limited beneficially own 97,404,379 shares, or 60.73% of Pubco, while all directors and executive officers as a group hold 62.00%. The filing also notes a Dubai Court of First Instance judgment in a trademark dispute with a former Ajman sponsor, granting injunctive relief but denying $20 million in requested damages; the parties have 30 days to appeal.

Business Combination Agreement financial
"consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2025"
A business combination agreement is a detailed contract that lays out the terms for two companies to join together—covering price, how ownership will be split, the steps needed to close the deal, and what each side promises to do or avoid before closing. For investors it matters because the agreement determines potential changes in value, control, timing, and risk exposure—think of it like the playbook for a merger that shows who wins, who pays, and what could still derail the plan.
foreign private issuer regulatory
"Because Pubco is a “foreign private issuer,” it is exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act"
A foreign private issuer is a company organized outside the United States that meets tests showing it is primarily foreign-controlled and therefore qualifies for a different set of U.S. reporting rules. For investors, that means the company files less frequent or differently formatted disclosures with U.S. regulators and may follow home-country accounting and governance practices, so buying its stock is like dining at a well-reviewed restaurant that follows its home kitchen’s rules instead of the local menu — you get access but should check what standards apply.
Earnout Shares financial
"Includes 4,638,302 AIR Earnout Shares that are subject to AIR Earnout Conditions."
Earnout shares are company stock promised to sellers as part of an acquisition that only becomes payable if the acquired business hits agreed future performance targets, like revenue or profit goals. They matter to investors because they can increase the number of shares outstanding (dilution), tie seller incentives to future success, and create uncertainty about the actual cost of the deal and future ownership unless the performance conditions are clearly understood.
lock-up financial
"are subject to a lock-up that prohibits sales or other dispositions until the earlier of (a) the date that is six (6) months"
A lock-up is an agreement that prevents company insiders, early investors or employees from selling their shares for a set period after a public share offering. It matters to investors because it temporarily limits the number of shares available to trade—like a scheduled hold on extra inventory—and when that hold ends a large number of shares can enter the market, potentially putting downward pressure on the stock price and revealing insiders’ confidence in the company.
Senior Facilities Agreement financial
"Senior Facilities Agreement, dated March 5, 2025, among AIR, AIR Group Ventures Limited as borrower and the arrangers thereto."
A senior facilities agreement is a contract that sets out the main loan or credit lines a borrower must repay first if it runs short of cash. It typically gives those lenders legal priority over other creditors and spells out interest, repayment schedules and rules the borrower must follow — like a mortgage’s first claim on a house. Investors watch these agreements because they affect how risky a company’s debt is, what cash is available for shareholders, and how likely creditors are to be repaid in a default.
Forward Purchase Agreement financial
"Forward Purchase Agreement, dated May 11, 2026, by and among CAEP, Pubco and Harraden Circle Investors, LP"
A forward purchase agreement is a contract in which a buyer commits now to purchase securities or assets from a company at a set price and on a future date, much like placing a pre-order for a product to be delivered later. For investors it matters because it provides predictable funding or supply, can affect share dilution and company valuation when the purchase happens, and signals the buyer’s confidence or risk exposure to future events.

Explanatory Note

On May 15, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), AIR Global PLC (formerly AIR Holdings Limited), a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Jersey (“Pubco”), consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2025 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among AIR Holdings Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Jersey and the legal predecessor of Pubco, Cantor Equity Partners III, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“CAEP”), AIR Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Jersey (“AIR”), Genesis Cayman Merger Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Pubco (“Cayman Merger Sub”), and Genesis Jersey Merger Sub Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Jersey and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Pubco (“Jersey Merger Sub”). Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

On the Closing Date, the following transactions occurred pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”):

Cayman Merger Sub merged with and into CAEP in accordance with the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Merger”), with CAEP continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Pubco, and each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of CAEP, par value $0.0001 per share (“CAEP Class A Ordinary Shares”), including each Class B ordinary share of CAEP, par value $0.0001 per share (“CAEP Class B Ordinary Shares”) that was automatically converted into a CAEP Class A Ordinary Share at the Cayman Effective Time (other than CAEP Class A Ordinary Shares that were validly redeemed and certain CAEP Class B Ordinary Shares surrendered by Cantor EP Holdings III, LLC (the “Sponsor”)), was cancelled in exchange for one ordinary share of Pubco, par value $0.0001 (a “Pubco Ordinary Share”);
immediately following the Cayman Merger, Jersey Merger Sub merged with and into AIR in accordance with the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended) (the “Jersey Merger”, and together with the Cayman Merger, the “Mergers”), with AIR continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Pubco, and the holders of ordinary shares of AIR (“AIR Ordinary Shares”) received Pubco Ordinary Shares in exchange for their AIR Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement; and
the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Prior to Closing, a total of 22,373,640 CAEP Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate redemption value of approximately $234.7 million, resulting in a total of 5,226,360 CAEP Class A ordinary shares remaining issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions, there were 160,386,602 Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

Prior to the completion of the Transactions, Pubco did not conduct any material activities other than those incidental to its formation, the incorporation of Cayman Merger Sub and Jersey Merger Sub and the matters contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the making of certain required securities law filings. Upon the closing of the Transactions, Pubco became the direct parent of CAEP and AIR. AIR is a leading global producer of branded flavored molasses (commonly known as “hookah”, “shisha” or “mu’assel”), produced and sold in over 90 markets worldwide, with an estimated global market share of approximately 36% to 44% in the markets in which it operates (excluding Russia and Turkey) as of December 31, 2025.

On November 7, 2025, CAEP, Pubco, AIR and the Sponsor entered into a sponsor support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, on the Closing Date, effective immediately prior to the Cayman Merger and conditioned upon the Closing, the Sponsor agreed to (i) waive its anti-dilution rights under CAEP’s memorandum and articles of association with respect to its CAEP Class B Ordinary Shares and (ii) surrender and forfeit 3,400,000 CAEP Class B Ordinary Shares held by it. In addition, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, all amounts outstanding under the Sponsor Loan as of the Closing were repaid in the form of 102,009 newly issued CAEP Class A Ordinary Shares. The Sponsor Support Agreement also provides for (a) certain restrictions on the transfer of the Pubco Ordinary Shares received by the Sponsor in exchange for its CAEP Class A Ordinary Shares, into which the remaining outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares were converted, until the earlier of (1) the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date and (2) the occurrence of certain early release events, and (b) certain vesting conditions on 1,500,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares

received by the Sponsor at Closing, releasable only if specified price targets for the Pubco Ordinary Shares aere achieved, or certain transactions occur, prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement.

In connection with the Closing, the parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into a waiver and release agreement waiving the lock-up restrictions under the Sponsor Support Agreement with respect to 1,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to the Sponsor at Closing, in order to facilitate compliance with certain Nasdaq listing requirements.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain key shareholders of AIR representing greater than two-thirds of the outstanding AIR ordinary shares entitled to vote on the Business Combination entered into a Shareholder Support Agreement with CAEP, Pubco and AIR (the “Shareholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, such shareholders agreed (i) not to transfer their AIR ordinary shares and (ii) not to amend or revoke the special written resolution approving the Business Combination Agreement, the Jersey Merger and the other Transactions. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, at least 99.9% of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to the AIR Shareholders at the Jersey Effective Time in exchange for their AIR ordinary shares are subject to a lock-up that prohibits sales or other dispositions until the earlier of (a) the date that is six (6) months following the Jersey Effective Time and (b) the occurrence of certain early release events, in each case subject to customary permitted transfers.

In connection with the Closing, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into a waiver agreement waiving the lock-up restrictions under the Business Combination Agreement with respect to 10,400 Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to certain shareholders of AIR in exchange for AIR Ordinary Shares, in order to facilitate compliance with certain Nasdaq listing requirements.

Pubco Ordinary Shares are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “AIIR.”

risks related to internal controls, reporting and market perceptions, including failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls and compliance; previously identified or potential future material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting; and the potential for adverse equity research coverage, unfavorable commentary or downgrades to negatively impact the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, as well as the general risk that securities of companies formed through SPAC mergers may experience price declines relative to pre‑merger share prices; and
other factors discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Proxy Statement and Prospectus as amended and supplemented, (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), part of Pubco's Registration Statement on Form F-4, as amended (File No. 333-294714) (the “Form F-4”), which section is incorporated herein by reference.

Major Shareholders

The following table sets forth information relating to the beneficial ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares as of the Closing Date by:

each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares;
each of our directors;

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Except as described in the footnotes below and subject to applicable community property laws and similar laws, we believe that each person listed above has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares.

The percentage of Pubco Ordinary Shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 160,386,602 Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding on the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the voting securities beneficially owned by them.

Disputes with our former Ajman Sponsor

11


 

On May 6, 2026, the Dubai Court of First Instance issued its judgment in relation to the civil lawsuit by our Ajman free zone subsidiary against Al Fakher Tobacco Factory LLC, Al-Qumma for Tobacco Trading and Mr. Al Ghamlasi personally. The lawsuit alleged that Mr. Al Ghamlasi registered a new entity under a trade name nearly identical to that of our Ajman subsidiary and began using that name on tobacco products in the market. The lawsuit sought an order requiring the defendants to change the allegedly infringing trade name, an injunction requiring them to cease all use of our trade name on their products and joint and several damages of $20 million (AED 73,400,000).

In its judgment, the Dubai Court of First Instance ordered the registration of the tradename of Mr. Al Ghamlasi’s company “Al Fakher Tobacco Factory LLC” to be stricken off and cancelled, and for that tradename to be removed from all state records and departments, particularly the Department of Economy and Tourism of Dubai. Furthermore, the court ordered the defendants to cease using that tradename or our trademark, and remove it from all of its products. Nevertheless, the court denied our claim for damages of $20 million (AED 73,400,000). The parties have 30 days to appeal the decision.
