• Second Reverse Stock Split Proposed

  The Board seeks shareholder approval for a reverse stock split at a ratio ranging from 2:1 to 6:1, to be implemented within 12 months. This follows a 7:1 reverse stock split effected in August 2024, primarily to maintain NYSE listing requirements.

• Significant Dilution Headroom Created

  The proposal does not include a corresponding reduction in the 800 million authorized shares, which will significantly increase the pool of unissued shares available for future dilutive capital raises.

• Material Related-Party Share Issuances

  In late 2025, over $4 million in shares were issued to Park Lane (an entity affiliated with a major shareholder) as consideration for credit support and settlement of aircraft lease conditions.

• High-Interest Related-Party Financing

  The company entered into a promissory note with LamVen LLC (a major shareholder) for up to $15 million at a 12.5% interest rate, plus a $1.5 million origination fee, indicating a high cost of capital.

Surf Air Mobility's proposal for a second reverse stock split in less than two years, ranging from 2:1 to 6:1, is a critical measure to maintain its NYSE listing but signals ongoing financial instability. The decision not to reduce authorized shares concurrently creates significant potential for future dilution. This comes amidst a backdrop of high-cost related-party financing and substantial share issuances to major shareholders, further highlighting the company's reliance on dilutive capital raises and related-party support to manage its 'going concern' challenges.
