Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Agreement.

As previously reported, on February 13, 2025, flyExclusive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, FlyX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Jet.AI Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jet.AI”) and Jet.AI SpinCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Jet.AI (“SpinCo”). Further, as previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 6, 2025, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, which was subsequently amended on July 30, 2025, October 10, 2025, January 13, 2026, and February 11, 2026 (as amended, the “A&R Merger Agreement”).

On July 13, 2026, the parties to the A&R Merger Agreement executed Amendment No. 5 to the A&R Merger Agreement (“Amendment No. 5,” and the A&R Merger Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 5, the “Final Merger Agreement”). Amendment No. 5, among other things, modified the post-closing net cash adjustment mechanism in the Merger, as described in more detail below. The foregoing description of Amendment No. 5 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of Amendment No. 5, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On July 13, 2026, the Company closed the transactions under the Final Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Final Merger Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub merged with and into SpinCo, with SpinCo surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), automatically, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub, Jet.AI, SpinCo or SpinCo shareholders, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of SpinCo (“SpinCo Common Stock”) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than treasury shares and shares of SpinCo Common Stock held by the Company or Merger Sub, which were automatically cancelled and ceased to exist) was converted into the right to receive 3.6253 (the “Closing Date Exchange Ratio”) shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”). Subject to adjustment based on the final determination of purchase price post-closing, the SpinCo shareholders are entitled to receive an aggregate of 7,096,117 shares of Company Common Stock.

At the Merger Effective Time, 5,676,893 shares of Company Common Stock were issued and 1,419,224 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Reserve Shares”), representing 20% of the Merger Consideration Shares (as defined in the Final Merger Agreement), were reserved but not issued to the SpinCo stockholders. The number of Reserve Shares to be issued to the SpinCo stockholders post-closing, if any, will be based upon the final determination of the net cash of SpinCo as of closing and the resulting final purchase price. Pursuant to Amendment No. 5, for purposes of the final determination of net cash, the value of SpinCo’s indirect equity investment in Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (the “Equity Investment”) included in the calculation of net cash will be determined as follows: (i) to the extent the Equity Investment is sold, transferred, redeemed or otherwise disposed of (a “Liquidation”) following the closing, the value will be equal to the aggregate net liquidation proceeds actually received by the Company or its subsidiaries from such Liquidation, net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith (and, in the case of any partial Liquidation, the sum of such net proceeds and the value attributed to the portion of the Equity Investment not subject to such Liquidation in the estimated net cash statement); and (ii) to the extent there is no Liquidation of the Equity Investment, the value will be equal to the value attributed to the Equity Investment in the estimated net cash statement for purposes of calculating the net cash at closing.
