Vertical Aerospace Ltd. (EVTL) Form 144: The filing notifies a proposed sale of 1,800,000 ordinary shares (par value $0.001) with an aggregate market value of $11,340,000, scheduled for 09/24/2025 through broker Winterflood Securities Limited on the NYSE. The filer’s original acquisition is reported as Founder Stock Purchase on 12/16/2021 from Vertical Aerospace Ltd., with the table showing 123,101,919 shares acquired by that transaction. The issuer’s total shares outstanding are listed as 101,677,721.

Vertical Aerospace provided updated commercial and financial targets for its VX4 and hybrid-electric variant, including an increased target cumulative aircraft deliveries of at least 175 units by end 2030 and a raised production run-rate target to greater than 225 units annually by Q4 2030. The company expects annual deliveries of approximately 900 units by 2035 and annual battery deliveries of about 45,000 units in 2035. Management projects consolidated revenues of $1.0 billion by 2030 at a 20% gross margin, rising to $10.7 billion by 2035 at a 40% gross margin, with shifting revenue and gross profit mixes across VX4, hybrid-electric aircraft, and aftermarket services.
The company also disclosed a revised free cash flow timeline targeting cash break-even by end 2029 and more than $100 million positive free cash flow in 2030. The filing reiterates forward-looking nature of these targets and highlights material risks including the need for additional capital, limited operating history without mass-produced aircraft, and certain non-binding initial production facility agreements. Regulatory certification of the hybrid-electric variant with the UK CAA is expected in 2029.
Vertical Aerospace filed a prospectus supplement to offer up to $100,000,000 of ordinary shares through an "at the market" sales agreement with Jefferies LLC acting as sales agent. The shares trade on the NYSE under EVTL; recent reported prices include $4.51 (September 4, 2025) and an assumed illustrative price of $4.85 (September 2, 2025) for offering calculations. Jefferies may receive up to a 3.0% commission and will be deemed an underwriter for Securities Act purposes. Proceeds are intended to fund R&D, testing and certification capacity expansion, and general corporate purposes. The filing reiterates material risks, including limited operating history, recurring losses, and a going concern uncertainty despite recent July 2025 equity proceeds of $69 million. The company highlights ongoing VX4 development milestones, a complementary hybrid-electric aircraft announced May 2025, and governance updates including a director appointment and incentive plan amendments.
Vertical Aerospace Ltd. entered an Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies LLC to sell its ordinary shares in an "at the market" offering program allowing aggregate sales of up to $100,000,000. Any shares sold under the program will be issued pursuant to the companys registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-287207) and a related prospectus supplement to be filed on September 5, 2025. The report lists related exhibits, including the sales agreement and legal opinion and consent from Walkers (Cayman) LLP. The filing is signed by Chief Executive Officer Stuart Simpson.
