Special
Meeting
As
previously disclosed, on May 6, 2025, Jet.AI Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan
of Merger and Reorganization (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with flyExclusive, Inc. (“flyExclusive”), FlyX
Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive (“Merger Sub”), and Jet.AI SpinCo, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“SpinCo”), pursuant to which (i) as a condition to closing,
the Company will distribute all of the shares of SpinCo, on a pro rata basis, to the Company’s stockholders (the “Distribution”)
and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into SpinCo (the “Merger” and, together with the Distribution and all other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”) with SpinCo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of
flyExclusive.
The
Company is holding a special meeting of stockholders to vote on a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions
(the “Special Meeting”), which are each described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 4, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”). The Proxy
Statement was first mailed to the Company’s stockholders on May 13, 2026. As of the close of business on the record date for the
Special Meeting, May 8, 2026, there were 1,421,721 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the
Special Meeting.
On
June 11, 2026, the Company convened the Special Meeting and a total of 486,285 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing
approximately 34.2% of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote, were represented in person or by valid proxies. However, because
approval of the Transactions requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock
as of the record date for the Special Meeting, the Company adjourned the Special Meeting until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 23, 2026.
On
June 23, 2026, the Company reconvened the Special Meeting and a total of 688,430 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing
approximately 48.4% of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote, were represented in person or by valid proxies. While approximately
99.0% of the votes cast prior to the reconvened Special Meeting were cast in favor of the Transactions, the Company again adjourned
the Special Meeting until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 2, 2026 to permit further solicitation of proxies because there were insufficient
votes cast or the approval of the Transactions.
There
is no change to the location, record date, purpose, or any of the proposals to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. Stockholders who
have already submitted proxies or voting instructions need not take any further action unless they wish to change their vote. Proxies
previously submitted will be voted at the reconvened Special Meeting unless properly revoked in accordance with the procedures described
in the Proxy Statement.
Distribution
Record Date
As
previously disclosed, on June 5, 2026, the Company announced that it established June 15, 2026 as the record date for the Distribution.
On June 12, 2026, in connection with the initial adjournment of the Special Meeting, the Company changed the record date for the Distribution
from June 15, 2026 to June 25, 2026.
On
June 23, 2026, in connection with the second adjournment of the Special Meeting, the Company changed the record date for the Distribution
from June 25, 2026 to July 6, 2026. As such, if the Transactions are approved at the Special Meeting and the parties close the Transactions,
stockholders of record of the Company’s common stock as of July 6, 2026, will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all
outstanding shares of SpinCo prior to the completion of the Merger. Upon completion of the Merger, the SpinCo shares distributed to the
Company’s stockholders will convert into the right to receive shares of flyExclusive Class A common stock, subject to the terms
of the Merger Agreement.
The
completion of the Transactions, including the Distribution and Merger, remains subject to stockholder approval and the satisfaction or
waiver of customary closing conditions.
Press
Release
On
June 24, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the second adjournment of the Special Meeting and the change to the
Distribution record date. A copy of the press release is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference.
Forward
Looking Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the federal
securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are
not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange.
Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future performance or future financial condition. These forward-looking statements
are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our company, our industry, our
beliefs and our assumptions. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “anticipate,”
“believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,”
“intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “potential,”
“predict,” “project,” “should,” “strategy,” “will,” “would,”
or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations
and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from
the expected results, including the failure to obtain stockholder approval, the failure to satisfy closing conditions, and broader market
conditions. As a result, caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were
made. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can
be found in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the SEC. These filings identify
and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained
in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and the Company assumes
no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events,
or otherwise, except as provided by law.
Additional
Information and Where to Find It
In
connection with the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, flyExclusive has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File
No. 333-284960) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) to register the shares of flyExclusive common stock that will
be issued in connection with the proposed Transactions. The Registration Statement was declared effective on April 30, 2026 and includes
a preliminary proxy statement of the Company and a preliminary prospectus of flyExclusive. The Company and flyExclusive filed a definitive
proxy statement and final prospectus, respectively (together, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), with the SEC on May 4, 2026
and they each may file with the SEC other relevant documents concerning the proposed Transactions. The definitive Proxy Statement and
other relevant documents were mailed to the Company’s stockholders as of May 8, 2026, the record date established for voting on
the proposed Transactions, in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting. This communication
is not a substitute for the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, or any other document that the parties have filed
or will file with the SEC, or send to stockholders, in connection with the proposed Transactions.
BEFORE
MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO
THOSE DOCUMENTS, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, FLYEXCLUSIVE, AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED
MATTERS.
A
copy of the Registration Statement, Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as well as other filings containing information about the Company, may
be obtained, free of charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov when they are filed. You will also be able to obtain these
documents, when they are filed, free of charge, from the Company by accessing the Company’s website at investors.jet.ai.

therein can also be obtained, without charge, by directing a request to the Company at 10845 Griffith Peak Drive, Suite 200, Las Vegas,
NV 89135, Attention: Board Secretary, or by phone at (702) 747-4000. The information on the Company’s website is not, and shall
not be deemed to be, a part of this communication or incorporated into other filings either company makes with the SEC.
Participants
in the Solicitation of Proxies
The
Company, flyExclusive, and certain of their respective directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies
from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Transactions. The Company’s stockholders and other interested
persons may obtain, without charge, more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the proposed Transactions of the Company’s
directors and officers in the parties’ filings with the SEC, including the Company’s annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies
to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Transactions and a description of their direct and indirect interests
is included in the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating to the proposed Transactions. Stockholders, potential investors and
other interested persons should read the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus carefully before making any voting or investment decisions.
You may obtain free copies of these documents from the sources indicated above.
No
Offer or Solicitation
This
communication is for information purposes only and is not intended to and does not constitute, or form part of, an offer, invitation
or the solicitation of an offer or invitation to purchase, otherwise acquire, subscribe for, sell or otherwise dispose of any securities,
or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction, pursuant to the proposed Transactions or otherwise, nor shall there
be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. The proposed Transactions are
expected to be implemented solely pursuant to the legally binding definitive agreement, and which contains the material terms and conditions
of the proposed Transactions. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.
