Analysis · JTAI · Energy & Transportation
The long-pending merger with flyExclusive has closed, spinning off Jet.AI's aviation business and delivering $9.05M in flyExclusive stock at closing, with up to $2.26M more held in reserve pending final purchase price adjustments tied to the SpaceX investment's liquidation value. At the same time, a non-binding letter of intent for a $300 million reverse takeover was disclosed — a deal that would deliver roughly $10 per share in cash and stock to Jet.AI holders, alongside a planned spin-off of its data center assets into a new public entity. The pro forma financials paint a stark post-separation picture: a $18.4M stockholders' deficit and a Q1 2026 net loss of $1.39M, though FY2025 was buoyed by a one-time $14.5M unrealized gain on the SpaceX stake. With the stock trading near its 52-week low of $2.03, the reverse takeover LOI represents a potential lifeline — but it's non-binding and subject to due diligence, leaving significant execution risk.
