Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
	The aggregate purchase price of the Shares was approximately $1.6 million. The funds used to acquire the Shares were the Reporting Person's personal funds, including cash received from dividends and distributions from entities owned or controlled by the Reporting Person. No funds were borrowed or obtained from any third party in connection with the acquisition of the Shares.
Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction
	The Reporting Person acquired the Shares based on a review of publicly available information and believes that the Shares are materially undervalued. The Reporting Person is concerned that the Issuer is currently conducting equity issuances pursuant to its at the market offering program during a period of significant share price volatility and at prices that, in the Reporting Person view, may not reflect the Issuer intrinsic value, resulting in substantial and potentially irreversible dilution to existing shareholders. The Reporting Person believes that the timing, pricing, and scale of such issuances warrant heightened scrutiny by the Issuer board of directors in light of their impact on shareholder value. The Reporting Person is further concerned that such equity issuances are occurring contemporaneously with the Issuer pursuit of strategic initiatives and executive compensation arrangements that may provide for material cash bonuses of up to $3 million or similar compensation to members of management for a $13.2 million potential transaction with FlyExclusive. The Reporting Person believes that these arrangements may create conflicts of interest that influence capital allocation decisions, including the timing, pricing and structure of equity issuances. The Reporting Person believes that decisions relating to capital allocation, equity issuance and the evaluation of strategic or transactional alternatives should be conducted through a process that appropriately addresses potential conflicts of interests and ensures alignment between management incentives and the long-term interests of shareholders, including through independent oversight by the board of directors. Accordingly, the Reporting Person intends to engage in discussions with the Issuer management and board of directors regarding capital allocation practices, executive compensation arrangements, potential conflicts of interest and strategic alternatives. The Reporting Person is evaluating actions intended to protect and enhance shareholder value, which may include, without limitation, seeking representation on the Issuer board of directors, communicating with other shareholders, soliciting proxies, proposing changes to the Issuer governance or compensation practices and evaluating strategic or transactional alternatives involving the Issuer securities. As part of this evaluation, the Reporting person is actively assessing the potential for a tender offer or other transaction involving the Issuer securities. Such assessment is being conducted in light of, among other factors, the Issuer ongoing equity issuances pursuant to its at the market offering program, the timing and pricing of such issuances during periods of elevated volatility, the Issuer capital allocation practices, management incentive arrangements in connection with strategic initiatives or transactions, and the Reporting Person assessment of the Issuer intrinsic value. Any such tender offer or transaction, if pursued, could be for any amount of the Issuer outstanding securities and may be structured as a partial or full offer, subject to market conditions, financing availability, regulatory considerations, and other factors the Reporting Person deems relevant. The Reporting Person has not determined whether or when to pursue any such transaction and reserves the right to modify, suspend or abandon any such evaluation at any time. The Reporting Person reserves to right to take any actions permitted by law to further these objectives. Any such actions may be subject to change based on market conditions, discussions with the Issuer or other shareholders, financing availability and other factors the Reporting Person deems relevant. Except as described above, the Reporting person does not currently have plans or proposals that would result in any of the actions described in Items 4 a-j of Schedule 13D, but reserves the right to formulate such plans or proposals at any time. The Reporting Person may at any time reevaluate his investment and may acquire additional Shares, dispose of some or all of the Shares, or take other actions as he deems appropriate, depending on market conditions, liquidity needs, and developments relating to the Issuer.
Item 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a)	The Reporting Person beneficially owns 3950000 shares of common stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 8.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer, based on 45478249 shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer's Form S-3 filled on 28th January 2026.
(b)	The Reporting Person has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to 3950000 shares.

(d)	No person other than the Reporting Person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.
(e)	Not applicable.
