Vertical Aerospace (EVTL) has entered a long-term partnership with Spanish Tier-1 aerostructures supplier Aciturri Aerostructures, effective 1 Aug 2025. Aciturri will manufacture the entire airframe—wing, empennage, pylons and fuselage—for both pre-production and, pending certification, commercial versions of the company’s VX4 electric/hybrid-electric eVTOL. The supplier will also assume engineering responsibility for several structural components and provide concurrent manufacturing-engineering support.
The agreement deepens the companies’ existing relationship and is aimed at accelerating industrialisation and regulatory certification of the VX4 ahead of planned service entry. A related press release (Ex. 99.1) was furnished on 4 Aug 2025. The filing contains customary forward-looking-statement language and incorporates the disclosed information (excluding the exhibit) into EVTL’s outstanding F-3 registration statements.
Key take-away: Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D shows that the Mudrick Capital complex (multiple affiliated funds plus Jason Mudrick) now beneficially owns 98,006,021 Class A ordinary shares of Vertical Aerospace Ltd. (EVTL), representing 69.7 % of the outstanding class. The position consists of 54.0 M already-issued shares plus the right to acquire a further 44.0 M shares through the conversion of $ Convertible Senior Secured Notes and the exercise of existing and new warrants (Tranche A & B).
On 10 July 2025 the issuer completed a $60 million follow-on equity offering at $5.00 per share. Mudrick-managed vehicles bought 2.5 million shares (~$12.5 million) in that round, increasing both their absolute holding and their percentage ownership. Mudrick entities indicate the purchase was for investment purposes but state they may buy, sell, convert, exercise or hedge their EVTL securities at any time and may influence board composition pursuant to existing consent rights.
Implications for investors:
- Control – With nearly 70 % of the vote, Mudrick Capital effectively controls EVTL’s strategic direction, governance and future capital decisions.
- Dilution overhang – 39.4 M convertible-note shares and 4.6 M warrant shares could materially dilute minority holders when exercised or converted.
- Capital support – Mudrick’s willingness to inject new equity in the July 2025 raise provides a positive signal on funding availability as EVTL progresses aircraft certification and production plans.
- Liquidity/float – High insider concentration limits free float, potentially increasing share-price volatility and reducing index eligibility.
The filing contains no operating or earnings data; its importance lies in ownership structure, potential dilution mechanics and future control dynamics.
