PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (“GlobalX” or the “Company”) operates a US Part 121 domestic flag and chartersupplemental airline using the Airbus A320 family of aircraft (“A320”). GlobalX’s business model is to (1) provide services on an Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance (“ACMI”) using wet lease contracts to airlines and non-airlines, and (2) on a Full Service (“Charter”) basis whereby we provide passenger aircraft charter services to customers by charging an “all-in” fee that includes fuel, insurance, landing fees, navigation fees and most other operational fees and costs. GlobalX operates within the United States, Europe, Canada, Central and South America. GlobalX also plans to operatebegan operating the Airbus A321 freighter (“A321F”) commencing induring the fourthfirst quarter of 20222023 after completing all FAA certification requirements with the A321F.

The Company was originally incorporated in British Columbia, Canada on September 2, 1966 under the name Shasta Mines & Oil Ltd. On February 4, 1975, the Company changed its name to International Shasta Resources Ltd. On May 20, 1994, the Company changed its name to Consolidated Shasta Resources Inc. On November 23, 1994, the Company changed its name again to Lima Gold Corporation and on September 21, 1999, the Company again changed its name to International Lima Resources Corp. On March 1, 2004, the Company changed its name to Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. On June 1, 2004 the Company transitioned (from a provincially incorporated entity to a federally incorporated entity) under the Business Corporation Act (British Columbia) (BCBCA). On October 28, 2011, the Company changed its name to Crosshair Energy Corporation. On September 17, 2013, the Company changed its name to Jet Metal Corp. On February 28, 2017, the Company continued as a corporation governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act and changed its name to Canada Jetlines Ltd.

On June 23, 2020, the Company (at the time named Canada Jetlines Ltd.) consummated a business combination with Global Crossing Airlines, Inc.

On December 22, 2020, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Province of British Columbia, Canada to the State of Delaware (the “U.S. Domestication“). In connection with the U.S. Domestication, the Company changed its name to “Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc.”

Operations

GlobalX operates a US Part 121 domestic flag and chartersupplemental airline using the Airbus A320 family of aircraft. GlobalX will remain competitive by providing services on an Aircraft, Crew, MaintenanceACMI and InsuranceCharter basis (“ACMI”) along all in charter contracts to airlines operating within the United States and throughout North and South America, develop aircraft interchanges with leading European charter/tour operators, and ad-hocprovide ACMI and track chartersCharters for non-airline customers.

GlobalX has completed the FAA regulatory certification process and received DOT approval. We are led by an operating team with a combined 190 years’ of Airline experience.

GlobalX’s passenger aircraft fleet is built on the Airbus A320-200 fleet family andfamily. GlobalX started operations with one leased A320 in 2021 and it has a fleet of eleven aircraft as of December 31, 2023 with plans to increase to 1015 within the next 12 months.

GlobalX’s cargo aircraft fleet is based on the Airbus A321 aircraft type andtype. GlobalX expects to start operationstarted operations with one lease A321F aircraft in January 2023 and it has a fleet of three aircraft as of December 31, 2023 with plans to increase to ten A321F aircraft byfive within the fourth quarter of 2023.next 12 months.

Location of Operations Bases

GlobalX will initially operateoperates from twoone primary geographic bases:base:

Miami International Airport (“MIA”)GlobalX’s main base of operations is MIA, and, pursuant to its AirportAirline Use Agreement with MIA, (for which it has placed deposits of $110,000),GlobalX (1) it will operateoperates charter flights out of Concourse E, as well as rentand rents office space and operateoperates its ticket counters, and (2) will maintainmaintains a maintenance office for its maintenance staff and for storage of all aircraft records, as well as spare parts and consumables storage, with loading dock capabilities. While we do have an AirportAirline Use Agreement in place with MIA, it does not guarantee availability of boarding gates or landing slots at that airport.
Atlantic CityIn addition, the Company has established Airlines Use Agreements with Orlando (MCO), Nashville (BNA), Dallas (DFW), and Las Vegas (LAS).

GlobalX also maintains additional crew bases at the following locations:

San Antonio International Airport (“ACY”("SAT")GlobalX will have a northeastern U.S. base in Atlantic CitySan Antonio, Texas
Harry Reid International Airport New Jersey and intends to eventually base two A320 aircraft at ACY. ACY has below-market aircraft landing fees and aircraft parking fees, and because of its location well east and on the water, does not experience the full effect of northeastern winter storms, remaining mostly

snow/ice free("LAS") in the winter. This makes it an excellent location to base aircraft which will be used both for charters into Atlantic City on behalf of the major casinos located there, and also to efficiently move aircraft for ad hoc and last minute charters from other northeastern airports, including JFK, BOS, PHL, EWR, etc.Las Vegas, Nevada

Employees

GlobalX had approximately 200625 and 400 full time employees as of December 31,2021.31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Government Regulation

Aviation Regulation

The airline industry is heavily regulated, especially by the federal government. Two of the primary regulatory authorities overseeing air transportation in the United States are the U.S. Department of Transportation (the “DOT”) and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”) . The DOT has authority to issue certificates of public convenience and necessity, exemptions and other economic authority required for airlines to provide domestic and foreign air transportation. International routes and international code-sharing arrangements are regulated by the DOT and by the governments of the foreign countries involved. A U.S. airline’s ability to operate flights to and from international destinations is subject to the air transport agreements between the United States and the foreign country and the carrier’s ability to obtain the necessary authority from the DOT and the applicable foreign government.

The U.S. government has negotiated “open skies” agreements with many countries, which allow unrestricted access between the United States and the applicable foreign country and to points beyond the foreign country on flights serving the foreign country. With certain other countries, however, the United States has a restricted air transportation agreement.

The FAA is responsible for regulating and overseeing matters relating to the safety of air carrier flight operations, including the control of navigable air space, the qualification of flight personnel, flight training practices, compliance with FAA airline operating certificate requirements, aircraft certification and maintenance requirements and other matters affecting air safety. The FAA requires each commercial airline to obtain and hold an FAA air carrier certificate. We currently hold an FAA air carrier certificate.

GlobalX has a Part 121 Air Carrier Certification from the FAA. The FAA uses the process to ensure that the applicant (also referred to as Certificate Holder) is able to design, document, implement, and audit safety critical processes that do two things: (1) Comply with regulations and safety standards; and (2) manage hazard-related risks in the operating environment.

The purpose of the Process is to determine whether an applicant can conduct business in a manner that complies with all applicable regulations and safety standards and allows the applicant to manage the hazard-related risks in its operating systems and environment. The Process is designed to preclude the certification of applicants who are unwilling or unable to comply with regulations or to conform to safe operating practices.

The Process assures that the applicant’s processes, programs, systems, and intended methods of compliance are thoroughly reviewed, evaluated, and tested. Once completed, the Process provides confidence that the applicant’s infrastructure (programs, methods, and systems) results in continued compliance and provides the applicant with the ability to manage hazard related risks in its operating systems and environment.

The FAA will not issue an air carrier certificate until the Safety Analysis and Promotion Division management, the Certification and Evaluation Program Office (CEPO) management, and Air Carrier Safety Assurance (ACSA) Management are confident and agree that the prospective certificate holder is able to provide service at the highest possible degree of safety in the public interest.

As Title 49 of the United States Code states below, safety is both a priority and a legal responsibility of the Certificate Holder. It is up to the FAA to ensure that the Certificate Holder understands and accepts this duty prior to issuing the Air Carrier Certificate. The FAA receives its authority from:

Title 49 United States Code (USC), Section 44702, Issuance of Certificates states “When issuing a certificate under this part, the Administrator shall consider the duty of an air carrier to provide service with the highest possible degree of safety in the public interest … “
Title 49 USC, Section 44705, Air Carrier Operating Certificates, states “The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall issue an air carrier operating certificate to a person desiring to operate as an air carrier when the Administrator finds, after investigation, that the person properly and adequately is equipped and able to operate safely under this part and regulations and standards prescribed under this part.”

4


In order to assure that the policies listed above are followed, the FAA:


Verifies that the applicant can operate safely and that the applicant complies with the regulations and standards prescribed by the Administrator before issuing an air carrier operating certificate and before approving or accepting air carrier programs.
Conducts periodic reviews to re-verify that the applicant organization continues to meet regulatory requirements when environmental changes occur.
Continually validates the performance of the applicant organization’s approved and accepted programs.

Consumer Protection Regulation

The DOT also has jurisdiction over certain economic issues affecting air transportation and consumer protection matters, including unfair or deceptive practices and unfair methods of competition, lengthy tarmac delays, airline advertising, denied boarding compensation, ticket refunds, baggage liability, contracts of carriage, customer service commitments, consumer notices and disclosures, customer complaints and transportation of passengers with disabilities. The DOT frequently adopts new consumer protection regulations, such as rules to protect passengers addressing lengthy tarmac delays, chronically delayed flights, codeshare disclosure and undisclosed display bias. They also have adopted, and do adopt, new rules on airline advertising and marketing practices. The DOT also has authority to review certain joint venture agreements, marketing agreements, code-sharing agreements (where an airline places its designator code on a flight operated by another airline) and wet-leasing agreements (where one airline provides aircraft and crew to another airline) between carriers and regulates other economic matters such as slot transactions.

Security Regulation

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (the “TSA”) and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), each a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, are responsible for certain civil aviation security matters, including passenger and baggage screening at U.S. airports, and international passenger prescreening prior to entry into or departure from the United States. International flights are subject to customs, border, immigration and similar requirements of equivalent foreign governmental agencies. We are currently in compliance with all directives issued by such agencies.

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to various federal, state, foreign and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and affecting matters such as air emissions (including GHG emissions), noise emissions, discharges to surface and subsurface waters, safe drinking water, and the use, management, release, discharge and disposal of, and exposure to, materials and chemicals.

We are also subject to environmental laws and regulations that require us to investigate and remediate soil or groundwater to meet certain remediation standards. Under certain laws, generators of waste materials, and current and former owners or operators of facilities, can be subject to liability for investigation and remediation costs at locations that have been identified as requiring response actions. Liability under these laws may be strict, joint and several, meaning that we could be liable for the costs of cleaning up environmental contamination regardless of fault or the amount of wastes directly attributable to us.

GHG Emissions

Concern about climate change and greenhouse gases has resulted, and is expected to continue to result, in additional regulation or taxation of aircraft emissions in the United States and abroad. In particular, on March 6, 2017, the ICAOInternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations established to manage the administration and governance of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, adopted new carbon dioxide or CO2(CO2) certification standards for new aircraft beginning in 2020. These standards, known as the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), aim to cap net CO2 emissions from international civil aviation at 2020 levels. The CORSIA framework requires airlines to monitor, report, and offset their emissions above a certain threshold. The new CO2 standards will apply to new aircraft type designs from 2020, and to aircraft type designs already in production as of 2023. In-production aircraft that do not meet the standard by 2028 will no longer be able to be produced unless their designs are modified to meet the new standards. In August 2016, the EPA made a final endangerment finding that GHG emissions cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare, which obligates the EPA under the Clean Air Act to set GHG emissions standards for aircraft. In August 2020, the EPA issued a proposed rule regulating GHG emissions from aircraft that largely conforms to the March 2017 ICAO CORSIA standards. However, on January 20, 2021, the new presidential administration, which is expected to promote more aggressive policies with respect to climate change and carbon emissions, including in the aviation sector, announced a freeze with respect to all pending rulemaking. Accordingly, the outcome of this rulemaking may result in stricter GHG emissions standards than those contained in the proposed rule. The inclusion of CORSIA-related measures within

5


EPA regulations would align U.S. aviation emissions standards more closely with international efforts to address climate change in the aviation sector.

Noise

Federal law recognizes the right of airport operators with special noise problems to implement local noise abatement procedures so long as those procedures do not interfere unreasonably with interstate and foreign commerce and the national air transportation system, subject to FAA review under the Airport Noise and Control Act of 1990. These restrictions can include limiting nighttime operations,


directing specific aircraft operational procedures during take-off and initial climb and limiting the overall number of flights at an airport. While we have had sufficient scheduling flexibility to accommodate local noise restrictions in the past, our operations could be adversely impacted if ICAO or locally imposed regulations become more restrictive or widespread.

Other Regulations

Airlines are also subject to various other federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations. For example, the U.S. Department of Justice has jurisdiction over certain airline competition matters. The privacy and security of passenger and employee data is regulated by various domestic and foreign laws and regulations.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Operations

The COVID-19 pandemic (the “Pandemic”) has created an unprecedented opportunity for GlobalX. When looking to launch an airline there are three primary barriers to entry; certification, access to airplanes and access to crew. The Pandemic has caused immense harm to the existing airline business, tens of thousands of people have been laid off and thousands of planes have been moved to long term storage. This has created an opportunity for GlobalX to hire highly experience and qualified staff in addition to acquiring planes at rates more than half of those required before the Pandemic. Combine these two elements and it is our belief that GlobalX is positioned to secure a substantial cost advantage over existing competition in the near term.

Effect of the Pandemic on aircraft availability. Due to the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the lease terms to GlobalX for the aircraft it has leased and plans to lease have been favorablyimpacted by: (1) greater availability of aircraft in the required time frame; (2) lower lease cost; (3) a greater willingness for lessors to provide GlobalX, as a start-up airline, aircraft without onerous aircraft deposit and security conditions; (4) lessened impact of a licensing delay or other start-up delays on the cost of leased aircraft not flying; and (5) sister ship availability, which is desirable because such aircraft are configured similarly reduces the complexity of maintenance and the availability of spare parts inventory.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks RelatedRisk Factors Relating to Our Business

We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to forecast our revenue and evaluate our business and future prospects.

GlobalX is and will be for the near future,has been in the build-out stage of the airline and as a result, investors are unable to review and consider any significant operational history to evaluate future viability or profitability. GlobalX will be subject to the risks, difficulties and uncertainties associated with a start-up airline. The likelihood of GlobalX’s success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the expansion of a business operation in a competitive industry and the development of a customer base. GlobalX could also sustain material losses in the future. GlobalX’s future performance will depend upon a number of factors, including its ability to:

maintain the safety and security of operations;
capitalize on its business strategy;
implement its growth strategy;
provide the intended services at the prices anticipated;
maintain adequate control of expenses;
attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel;

react to customer and market demands; and
generate operating revenue.

6


We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing operating expenses in the future, and we may not be able to achieve and, if achieved, maintain profitability.

GlobalX is generating operating revenue and has negative cash flow from operating activities. It is anticipated that GlobalX will continue to have negative cash flow in the foreseeable future. In addition, as we grow and become a public company, we will incur additional significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. If our revenue does not increase to offset the expected increases in our operating expenses, we will not be profitable in future periods. Continued losses may have the following consequences:

increasing GlobalX’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
limiting GlobalX’s ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, operating costs and other general corporate requirements; and
limiting GlobalX’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business.

Our ability to lease aircraft on favorable terms will have a significant impact on our operating performance, need for capital and profitability.

To operate in accordance with its business plan, GlobalX will need to acquire or lease additional aircraft. At present, GlobalX has not acquired any aircraft. However, GlobalX has entered into a lease agreements and taken delivery, as lessee, to lease sixone Airbus A319 family of aircraft, eight Airbus A320 family of Aircraft.Aircraft and five Airbus A321 family of aircraft. While GlobalX does not anticipate any difficulties in entering into satisfactory leasing arrangements for additional aircraft, there is no guarantee that we will be able to enter into leases for additional aircraft on terms satisfactory to it, or at all.

The terms of GlobalX’s leasing arrangements will impact the potential profitability of GlobalX’s business. If we are unable to acquire or lease additional aircraft on satisfactory terms, we will be unable to operate in accordance with its business plan. GlobalX’s ability to pay any fixed costs associated with aircraft lease or purchase contractual obligations will depend on GlobalX’s operating performance, cash flow, its ability to secure adequate financing, whether fuel prices continue at current price levels and/or further increase or decrease, further weakening or improvement in the United States economy, as well as general economic and political conditions and other factors that are, to a large extent, beyond GlobalX’s control.

Our business has grown rapidly, and we may fail to manage our growth effectively.

GlobalX may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of GlobalX to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operations and financial systems and to expand, train, and manage its employee base. The inability of GlobalX to deal with potential growth could result in a material adverse effect.

Any expansion of operations GlobalX may undertake will entail risks; such actions may involve specific operational activities, which may negatively impact the profitability of GlobalX. Consequently, shareholders must assume the risk that: (i) such expansion may ultimately involve expenditures of funds beyond the resources available to GlobalX at that time; and (ii) management of such expanded operations may divert management’s attention and resources away from any other operations, all of which factors may result in a material adverse effect.

If we fail to implement our business strategy successfully, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

The viability of GlobalX’s business model and its ability to implement this model is dependent on a number of inputs and assumptions, including:

the timing and receipt of all regulatory approvals required or desirable for operations by GlobalX and their impact upon expectations as to future operations of GlobalX;
the expected operations and performance of GlobalX’s business as compared to existing charter operators;
the anticipated competitive response from existing charter operators as well as potential new market entrants which may compete with GlobalX;
impact of existing or new governmental regulation on GlobalX;

future development and growth prospects;
expected operating costs, general administrative costs, costs of services and other costs and expenses;

7


the anticipated increase in the size of the airline passenger market in North America;
ability to meet current and future obligations;
treatment under governmental regulatory regimes;
projections of market prices and costs;
ability to obtain equipment, services and supplies in a timely manner, including the ability to lease or purchase aircraft; and
ability to obtain financing or leasing arrangements on acceptable terms, or at all.

Should one or more of these inputs and assumptions not be incorrectcorrect or fail to occur as anticipated, there is a risk that GlobalX’s business model may not be implemented as anticipated and GlobalX may suffer a material adverse effect.

In addition, in order to successfully implement our growth strategy, we will require access to an additional number of airport gates and other services at airports we currently serve or may seek to serve. We believe there are currently significant restraints on gates and related ground facilities at many of the most heavily utilized airports in the United States. As a result, if we are unable to obtain access to a sufficient number of slots, gates or related ground facilities at desirable airports to accommodate our growing fleet, we may be unable to compete in those markets, our aircraft utilization rate could decrease, and we could suffer a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our Airport Use Agreement with Miami International Airport does not guarantee availability of boarding gates or landing slots at that airport.

Our reputation and business could be adversely affected in the event of an emergency, accident or similar public incident involving our aircraft or personnel.

A major safety incident involving GlobalX’s aircraft during operations would likely incur substantial repair or replacement costs to the damaged aircraft and a disruption in service. GlobalX could also incur potentially significant claims relating to injured passengers and parties, along with a significant negative impact on GlobalX’s reputation for safety, adversely affecting GlobalX’s ability to attract and retain passengers.

We may face unanticipated obstacles to the execution of GlobalX’s business plan.

GlobalX’s business plans may change significantly. The execution of GlobalX’s business plan is capital intensive and may become subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. GlobalX may need to make significant modifications to any of GlobalX’s stated strategies depending on future events.

We may require additional capital, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

The ability of GlobalX to execute its build-out and growth strategy and achieve operations will depend on acquiring substantial additional financing through debt financing, equity financing or other means. Failure to obtain such financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of such growth strategy or even impact the ability of GlobalX to continue as a going concern.

There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable to GlobalX. If additional financing is raised by GlobalX through the issuance of its securities, shareholders may suffer significant dilution. If additional financing is not available, or if available, not available on satisfactory terms, this could result in a material adverse effect or could require GlobalX to reduce, delay, scale back or eliminate portions of its actual or proposed operations or could prevent GlobalX from continuing as a going concern.

GlobalX may also need to raise capital by incurring long-term or short-term indebtedness in order to fund its business objectives. This could result in increased interest expense and decreased net income. Investors are cautioned that there can be no assurance as to the terms of such financing and whether such financing will be available. The level of GlobalX’s indebtedness could impair its ability to obtain additional financing in the future on a timely basis to take advantage of business opportunities that may arise.

We rely on third-party specialists and other commercial partners to perform functions integral to our operations.

GlobalX is expected to secure goods and services from a number of third party suppliers. Any significant interruption in the provision of goods and services from any such key suppliers, some of which would be beyond GlobalX’s control, or any significant increase in


price of such goods and services, could have a material adverse effect. GlobalX will be reliant upon providers of aircraft, such as Airbus and other third party leasing companies, which will make GlobalX susceptible to any problems connected with aircraft or engines or components, including defective materials, mechanical problems or negative perceptions in the traveling community. The delay or inability of any provider of aircraft to deliver aircraft or engines or components as GlobalX requires could negatively impact GlobalX’s growth strategy and could result in a material adverse effect.

Our limited fleet size could prevent us from replacing aircraft that face unscheduled maintenance.

Given the limited number of aircraft GlobalX intends to operate,currently operates, if one or more aircraft becomes unavailable due to unscheduled maintenance, repairs or other reasons, GlobalX could suffer material adverse financial and reputational impacts.

Our business has been and in the future may be materially adversely affected by the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Unexpected increases in the price of aircraft fuel or a shortage or disruption in the supply of aircraft fuel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

GlobalX will be dependent on fuel to operate its business, and therefore, will be exposed to the risk of volatile fuel prices. Fuel prices are impacted by a host of global actorsevents outside of GlobalX’s control, such as significant weather events, market speculation, geopolitical tensions, refinery capacity, government taxes and levies, and GlobalX demand and supply. GlobalX’s fuel costs are expected to make up one of the largest anticipated expenses of GlobalX. A significant change in the price of fuel would materially affect GlobalX’s projected operating results and growth strategy. A fuel supply shortage or significantly higher fuel prices could result in a curtailment of GlobalX’s planned scheduled service. There can be no assurance that increases in the price of fuel can be offset by fuel surcharges or any potential hedging transactions.

We operate a singlelimited number of aircraft type.types.

Critical to GlobalX’s business model is a supply of modern and cost-effective aircraft that can service the various sectors required to fly GlobalX’s planned route network. Should the A319, A320 or A321 family of aircraft not be available in accordance with GlobalX growth strategy or should the aircraft lease or maintenance costs increase drastically there could be a material impact on GlobalX’s growth strategy, cost structure and potential profitability. In addition, a switch to a different family of aircraft could have a material adverse effect on our cost structure.

A critical cost-saving element of our business strategy is to operate a single-familylimited number of aircraft fleet;types; however, our dependence on the A319, A320 and A321 family of aircraft for all of our aircraft makes us vulnerable to any design defects or mechanical problems associated with this aircraft type or these engines. In the event of any actual or suspected design defects or mechanical problems with this family of aircraft, whether involving our aircraft or that of another airline, we may choose or be required to suspend or restrict the use of our aircraft. Our business could also be materially adversely affected if the public avoids flying on our aircraft due to an adverse perception of our plane type or engine type, whether because of safety concerns or other problems, real or perceived, or in the event of an accident involving such aircraft or engine.

Our intellectual property rights, particularly our branding rights, are vulnerable, and any inability to protect them may adversely affect our business and financial results.

We consider our intellectual property rights, particularly our branding rights such as our trademark applicable to our airline, to be a significant and valuable aspect of our business. We aim to protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of trademark, copyright and other forms of legal protection, contractual agreements and policing of third-party misuses of our intellectual property, but cannot guarantee that such efforts will be successful. Our failure to obtain or adequately protect our intellectual property or any change in the law that lessens or removes the current legal protections of our intellectual property may diminish our competitiveness and adversely affect our business and financial results. Any litigation or disputes regarding intellectual property may be costly and time-consuming and may divert the attention of our management and key personnel form our business operations, either of which may adversely affect our business and financial results.

Our quarterly results of operations fluctuate due to a number of factors, including seasonality.

The charter airline industry is seasonal. The demand for and the pricing of charter services does fluctuate throughout the year, as it does with most air travel industries. Historically, demand for air travel is higher in the second and third quarters, driving higher revenues, than in the first and fourth quarters, which are periods of lower travel demand. In so much as GlobalX has fixed costs relating to air crews, insurance, leases, rent and other payments, lower periods of demand, combined with lower prices, could lead to negative cash flow and earnings for a given period.


Threatened or actual terrorist attacks or security concerns involving airlines could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and subsequent terrorist activity have caused uncertainty in the minds of the traveling public. The occurrence of a major terrorist attack or attempted terrorist attack (whether domestic or international and whether involving GlobalX or another carrier or no carrier at all) and additional restrictive security measures that are implemented in response could have a material adverse effect on passenger demand for air travel and on the number of passengers traveling on GlobalX’s flights. It could also lead to

9


a substantial increase in insurance, airport security and other costs. Any resulting reduction in passenger revenues and/or increases in insurance, security or other costs could result in a material adverse effect.

The rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus and its variants has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on our business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity. A new outbreak of COVID-19 or another disease or similar public health threat in the future could also have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic causing a massive market disruption to the aviation industry. Measures such as travel restrictions, including testing regimes, “stay at home” and quarantine orders, limitations on public gatherings, cancellation of public events and many others have resulted in a decline in demand for air travel.

While most restrictions have been removed in the United States, and a recovery is underway in the domestic airline industry, additional governmental and other localized epidemicsrestrictions and regulations may be implemented or reinstated in the future in response to further outbreaks of COVID-19 or another disease, including travel restrictions (including on domestic air travel within the United States), quarantines of populations (including our personnel), limitations on aircraft capacity, testing requirements and restrictions on our ability to access our facilities or aircraft or requirements to collect additional passenger data. In addition, governments, non-governmental organizations and entities in the private sector may issue non-binding advisories or recommendations regarding air travel or other physical distancing measures, including limitations on the number of persons that should be present at public gatherings, which may significantly reduce demand. These and other restrictions and regulations, as well as the general concern about the virus among travelers, have had, and could continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

Future outbreaks of operationsCOVID-19 or another disease could have a material negative impact on demand. Reduced demand would have an adverse impact on our revenues and financial condition.

A widespread outbreaklower levels of influenzaflying can lead to higher unit costs. Actual or any other similarly communicable illness occurring in the United States, Canada,perceived risk of infection from COVID-19 or the Caribbean, or a World Health Organization travel advisory primarily relating to those countries or regions could affect GlobalX’s ability to continue full operations and could materially adversely affect GlobalX’s customer demand for air travel. The current outbreak COVID-19 has led to measures such as “shelter in place” or quarantine requirements, international and domestic travel restrictions or advisories, limitations on public gatherings, social distancing recommendations, remote work arrangements and closures of tourist destinations and attractions, as well as consumer perceptions of the safety, ease and predictability of air travel, and these measures have contributed to a precipitous decline in passenger demand and bookings for both business and leisure travel. The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens,another disease could have a material adverse effect on GlobalX duethe public’s demand for and willingness to use air travel, which could harm our reputation and business. Our operations may be further impacted in the event of additional instances of actual or perceived risk of infection of COVID-19 or another disease among our employees, suppliers or business partners, and this impact may have a material adverse effect if we are unable to maintain a suitably skilled and sized workforce and address related employee matters. In addition, supply chain disruptions may impede our cargo customers’ ability to deliver freight to the impacts of the aforementioned various measures that are implemented in response. This may adversely impactairports we serve, which could reduce their need for our services and thus have a material adverse effect on our business, and results of operations and financial condition.

The industry may also be subject to enhanced health and hygiene requirements in attempts to counteract future outbreaks of COVID-19 or another disease, which requirements may be costly and take a significant amount of time to implement, or drive additional staffing during a time when staffing shortages are common place.

We may take additional actions in response to COVID-19 or another disease to improve our financial position, including measures to improve liquidity, such as the operationsissuance of unsecured and secured debt securities, equity securities and equity-linked securities, the sale of assets and/or the entry into additional bilateral and syndicated secured and/or unsecured credit facilities. There can be no assurance as to the timing of any such issuance, or that any such additional financing will be completed on favorable terms, or at all. Any such actions may be material in nature and could result in significant additional borrowing. Our reduction in expenditures, measures to improve liquidity or other strategic actions that we may take in the future in response to COVID-19 or another disease may not be effective in offsetting decreased demand, which could result in a material adverse effect on our suppliers, contractorsbusiness, operating results, liquidity and service providers,financial condition.

Even as enhanced screenings, quarantine and other requirements, and travel restrictions have eased, we may continue to experience similar adverse effects to our business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity resulting from a recessionary or depressed economic environment that may persist, including increases in unemployment, and our business and operating results may not return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels on a timely basis or at all. The impact of future outbreaks of COVID-19 or another disease on our businesses, operating results, financial condition and liquidity could exacerbate the demand for our passenger charter flights.other risks identified in this prospectus.

General economic conditions may reduce the demand for our services.

The financial success of GlobalX may be sensitive to adverse changes in general economic conditions in the United States such as war, terrorist attacks, recession, inflation, labor disputes, demographic changes, pandemics, weather or climate changes, unemployment and interest rates. Such changing conditions could reduce demand in the marketplace for GlobalX’s services.

We may become involved in litigation that may materially adversely affect us.

GlobalX may be subject to litigation arising out of its operations. Damages claimed under such litigation may be material or may be indeterminate, and the outcome of such litigation may materially impact GlobalX’s business, results of operations, or financial condition.

10


While GlobalX will assess the merits of any lawsuit and defend itself accordingly, it may be required to incur significant expense or devote significant financial resources to defending itself against such litigation. In addition, the adverse publicity surrounding such claims may result in a material adverse effect.

Increased labor costs, union disputes, employee strikes and other labor-related disruption, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

GlobalX intends to have a non-unionized workforce. In the event that unionization activities occur with its workforce, GlobalX will incur increased labor costs. Increased labor costs will negatively impact upon GlobalX’s cost structure and will adversely affect GlobalX’s ability to operate an airline.

Many factors could affect our ability to control our costs and to maintain a low cost structure.

We have limited control over many of our costs. For example, we have limited control over the price and availability of aircraft fuel, aviation insurance, airport and related infrastructure taxes, the cost of meeting changing regulatory requirements and our cost to access

capital or financing. We cannot guarantee we will be able to maintain a cost advantage over our future competitors. If our cost structure increases and we are no longer able to maintain a cost advantage over our competitors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our proposed fuel hedging strategy may not reduce our fuel costs.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into fuel hedge contracts now or in the future. Our liquidity and general level of capital resources impacts our ability to hedge our fuel requirements. Even if we are able to hedge portions of our future fuel requirements, we cannot guarantee that our hedge contracts will provide sufficient protection against increased fuel costs or that our counterparties


will be able to perform under our hedge contracts, such as in the case of a counterparty’s insolvency. Furthermore, our ability to react to the cost of fuel absent hedging, is limited since we set the price of charters in advance of incurring fuel costs. Our ability to pass on any significant increases in aircraft fuel costs through fare increases could also be limited.

The airline industry is exceedingly competitive, and we compete against new entrants, legacy network airlines and cargo carriers; if we are not able to compete successfully in our markets, our business will be materially adversely affected.

GlobalX faces competition from exclusively charter airlines as well as traditional scheduled-service airlines, both ultra-low cost carriers and legacy carriers, that operate charters as a secondary line of business. In addition, our competitors may choose to commence or expand their existing charter operations, which could adversely impact our ability to obtain or renew charter contracts. This could result in decreases in our charter services market share and reduced profitability for our charter operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. All of our competitors have greater financial resources, are larger than us in terms of numbers of aircraft, and are more fully developed in their corporate infrastructure, which could negatively affect our ability to compete and which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The charter airline industry is particularly susceptible to price discounting when competing for customers. This may be mitigated to a certain extent by the aircraft type, on-board seat comfort levels and amenities GlobalX plans to operate. Nevertheless, price-sensitive charter customers may favor price over comfort, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial performance.

The ultra-competitive nature of the airline industry could prevent us from achieving the performance metrics and milestones in our business plan necessary to sustain profitable operations in new and existing markets and could impede our growth strategy, which could negatively impact our operating results.

Airlines are often affected by factors beyond their control.

Like other airlines, we will be subject to delays caused by factors beyond our control, including air traffic congestion at airports, air traffic control inefficiencies, adverse weather conditions, increased security measures, new travel related taxes and the outbreak of disease. Delays frustrate passengers and increase costs, which in turn could adversely affect profitability. The federal government singularly controls all U.S. airspace, and airlines are completely dependent on the FAA to operate that airspace in a safe, efficient and affordable manner. The U.S. air traffic control system, which is operated by the FAA, faces challenges in managing the growing demand for U.S. air travel. U.S. and foreign air-traffic controllers often rely on outdated technologies that routinely overwhelm the system and compel airlines to fly inefficient, indirect routes resulting in delays. Other countries employ their own air traffic management systems, and similar factors, outside of our control, would exist for our international service to foreign countries. Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters can cause flight cancellations or significant delays. Cancellations or delays due to weather conditions or natural disasters, air traffic control problems, breaches in security or other factors could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Similarly, outbreaks of pandemic or contagious diseases, such as avian flu, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and H1N1 (swine) flu, and COVID-19 could result in significant decreases in passenger traffic and the imposition of government restrictions in service and could have a material adverse impact on the airline.

Our business plan is heavily reliant on our ability to primarily base our operations at, and fly out of, Miami International Airport, and if we are unable to secure operating capacity at this airport, our business will be substantially harmed.

Our business plan calls for our operations to be based at MIA, which we expect to beis our centralprimary hub, with the vast majority of our projected flights consisting of daily round trips departing from and returning to MIA, initially to Havana.MIA. If we are unable to continue to secure operating capacity at MIA or Havana either for our initial operations or planned expansion our business will be substantially harmed. And, assuming that we do obtain operating capacity at MIA, there is no guarantee that the fees and other costs related to operating out of MIA will not increase. Our operating performance and results of operations could be harmed by any such increase in fees or costs charged by the airport. We have reached an agreement with Sheltair Aviation (2) for the financing and construction of a new aircraft maintenance facility at the Fort Lauderdale- Hollywood International Airport (KFLL). We expect to break ground on this new facility in Q2 2024, occupy the facility in Q2 2025, and to cost approximately $25 million to construct. KFLL will become the new base of operations at such point. However, there is no guarantee that the facility at KFLL will be completed on time or on budget and as a result any delays or cost increases could have a material adverse impact on the airline.

We will rely heavily on technology and automated systems to operate our business and any failure of these technologies or systems or failure by their operators could harm our business.

We will need to put in place a significant amount of information technology and automated systems to operate our business. The functionality and implementation of these systems will be one of the keys to achieving low operating costs. These systems are expected to include a computerized airline reservation system, flight operations system, financial planning, management and accounting systems, telecommunications systems, website, maintenance systems and check-in kiosks. An inability to implement these systems in a timely fashion could result in delays in the start of our operations. In addition, in order for our operations to work efficiently, our website and reservation system will need to be able to accommodate a high volume of traffic, maintain secure information and deliver flight


information. Substantially all of our tickets are expected to be issued to passengers as electronic tickets. We intend for our reservation system to be hosted and maintained under a long term contract by a third-party service provider and we plan to rely on this reservation system to issue, track and accept electronic tickets. If we are unable to contract with the third party service provider or otherwise are unable to implement our reservation system or our reservation system fails or experiences interruptions, and we are unable to book seats for any period of time, we could lose a significant amount of revenue as customers book seats on competing airlines.

Unauthorized breach of our information technology infrastructure could compromise the personally identifiable information of our passengers, prospective passengers or personnel and expose us to liability, damage our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our anticipated processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal data could give rise to liabilities as a result of government regulation or a significant data breach may adversely affect the Company’s business. In our regular business operations, we collect, transmit, process and store sensitive data, including personal and financial information of our customers and employees such as payment processing information and information of our business partners. GlobalX depends on the ability to use information we collect to provide our services and operate our business.

GlobalX must manage increasing legislative, regulatory and consumer focus on privacy issues and data security. For example, in May 2018, the European Union’sEU’s General Data Protection Regulation became effective, which imposes significant privacy and data security requirements, as well as potential for substantial penalties for

non-compliance. Recent penalties imposed by regulators have resulted in substantial adverse financial consequences to those companies. Also, some of GlobalX’s commercial partners, such as credit card companies, have imposed data security standards that GlobalX must meet. These standards continue to evolve. GlobalX will continue its efforts to meet its privacy and data security obligations; however, it is possible that certain new obligations or customer expectations may be difficult to meet and could increase GlobalX’s costs.

Additionally, GlobalX must manage evolving cybersecurity risks. Our network systems and storage applications, and those systems and storage and other business applications maintained by our third-party providers, may be subject to attempts to gain unauthorized access,

11


breach, malfeasance or other system disruptions. In some cases, it is difficult to anticipate or to detect immediately such incidents and the damage caused thereby. In addition, asattacks by cybercriminals become more sophisticated, frequent and intense, the costs of proactive defense measures may increase. While we continually work to safeguard our internal network systems, including through risk assessments, system monitoring, information security policies and employee awareness and training, and review and validate our third-party security standards, there is no assurance that such actions will be sufficient to prevent cyber-attacks or data breaches.

The loss, disclosure, misappropriation of or access to customers’, employees’ or business partners’ information or GlobalX’s failure to meet its obligations could result in legal claims or proceedings, penalties and remediation costs. A significant data breach or GlobalX’s failure to meet its obligations may adversely affect GlobalX’s reputation, relationships with our business partners, business, operating results and financial condition.

We intend to rely on third-party distribution channels to distribute a portion of our airline tickets, which presents challenges in terms of our ability to maintain a competitive cost structure.

We intend to rely on third-party distribution channels, including those provided by or through global distribution systems or GDSs (e.g., Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre and Worldspan), conventional travel agents and online travel agents or OTAs (e.g., Orbitz, Priceline, Expedia and Travelocity), to distribute a portion of our airline tickets.

These distribution channels are expected to be more expensive than those we intend to operate ourselves. Certain of these distribution channels also are expected to effectively restrict the manner in which we distribute our products generally. To remain competitive, we will need to manage successfully our distribution costs and rights, and improve the functionality of third party distribution channels, while maintaining an industry-competitive cost structure. Negotiations with key GDSs and OTAs designed to manage our costs, increase our distribution flexibility and improve functionality could be contentious, could result in diminished or less favorable distribution of our tickets, and may not provide the functionality we require to maximize ancillary revenues. Any inability to manage our third-party distribution costs, rights and functionality at a competitive level or any material diminishment in the distribution of our tickets could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position and our results of operations.

Failure to comply with applicable environmental regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We expect to be subject to increasingly stringent federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment, including those relating to emissions to the air, discharges to surface and subsurface waters, safe drinking


water, and the management of hazardous substances, oils and waste materials. Compliance with all environmental laws and regulations can require significant expenditures and any future regulatory developments in the U.S. and abroad could adversely affect operations and increase operating costs in the airline industry. For example, climate change legislation was previously introduced in Congress and such legislation could be re-introduced in the future by Congress and state legislatures, and could contain provisions affecting the aviation industry, compliance with which could result in the creation of substantial additional costs to us. Similarly, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a rule that regulates larger emitters of greenhouse gases. Future operations and financial results may vary as a result of such regulations. Compliance with these regulations and new or existing regulations that may be applicable to us in the future could increase our cost base and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Governmental authorities in several U.S. and foreign cities are also considering or have already implemented implemented aircraft noise reduction programs, including the imposition of nighttime curfews and limitations on daytime take-offs and landings, which could adversely affect our operations going forward, particularly if locally-imposed regulations become more restrictive or widespread.

Non-compliance with the growing Regulations and Guidelines for Minimizing Aircraft Emissions and its Impact on Climate Change.

Concerns about climate change may prompt governments to introduce regulatory changes affecting the aviation industry, potentially resulting in increased costs. These changes could involve emission reduction requirements, capital investments in specific equipment or technologies, or other additional expenses linked to emissions. Indirectly, these regulatory activities may raise operating costs, including fuel expenses.

Assets securing loans, such as aircraft, spare parts, and airport slots, may depreciate if there is a shift in customer demand towards low-carbon alternatives. Operational impacts, such as increased flight cancellations, may result in revenue loss. We may incur significant expenses to enhance the climate resilience of our infrastructure in response to the physical effects of climate change, although the materiality of such costs remains uncertain.

Growing public awareness of climate change threats might lead customers to reduce air travel frequency or opt for airlines perceived as more environmentally sustainable. Business customers may explore alternatives like virtual meetings and workspaces. The advancement of high-speed rail in markets served by short-haul flights may offer passengers lower-carbon travel options, affecting the demand for our services.

In addition, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) endorsed the implementation of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). CORSIA aims to achieve carbon-neutral growth in the global aviation sector from 2021 to 2035. It mandates airlines to offset the increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, relative to an ICAO-defined baseline, for a significant majority of international flights. This offsetting is accomplished through the acquisition of carbon offsets or the utilization of low-carbon fuels.

The future costs associated with CORSIA compliance are uncertain, influenced by variables like the availability and pricing of carbon offset credits and low-carbon aircraft fuels. We acknowledge the potential impact on our business due to the uncertain landscape of compliance costs.

Notably, we lack direct control over CORSIA compliance costs until 2032, as they are contingent on global aviation sector emissions growth. Beginning in 2033, such requirements incorporate a factor for individual airline operator emissions growth. Due to the competitive and unpredictable nature of the airline industry, we cannot assure the ability to offset CORSIA-related costs through fare adjustments, surcharges, revenue increases, or other operating cost reductions.

12


We have a significant amount of aircraft-related fixed obligations that could impair our liquidity and thereby harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We expect to lease all of our aircraft. Our ability to pay the fixed costs associated with our contractual obligations under these leases will depend on our operating performance and cash flow, which will in turn depend on, among other things, the success of our current business strategy, whether fuel prices continue at current price levels and/or further increase or decrease, further weakening or improving in the U.S. economy, as well as general economic and political conditions and other factors that are, to some extent, beyond our control. The amount of our aircraft related fixed obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Rising maintenance and repair costs could adversely affect cash flow and results of operation.

As we anticipate ordering all new aircraft fresh from maintenance, our initial maintenance costs will in all likelihood be lower at the beginning of the aircraft lease. Our fleet will require more maintenance as it ages and our maintenance and repair expenses for each of our aircraft will likely be incurred at approximately the same intervals. Moreover, because we anticipate that our current fleet will be acquired over a relatively short period, significant maintenance that is scheduled on each of these planes will likely occur at roughly the same time, meaning we will likely incur our most expensive scheduled maintenance obligations, known as heavy maintenance, across our present fleet around the same time. These more significant maintenance activities could result in out-of-service periods during which our aircraft are dedicated to maintenance activities and unavailable to generate revenue. In addition, we anticipate that the terms of our lease agreements will require us to pay supplemental rent, also known as maintenance reserves, to be paid to the lessor in advance of the performance of major maintenance, resulting in our recording significant prepaid deposits on our balance sheet. We expect scheduled and unscheduled aircraft maintenance expenses to increase as a percentage of our revenue over the next several years. Any significant increase in maintenance and repair expenses would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may face difficulties in recruiting and hiring our workforce.

From time to time, the airline industry has experienced a shortage of personnel licensed by the FAA, especially pilots and mechanics. We expect to compete against the major U.S. and foreign flag airlines for labor in these highly-skilled positions. Major U.S. airlines may offer wage and benefit packages that exceed our wage and benefit packages. If we are unable to hire, train and retain qualified employees at its anticipated costs, we may be unable to successfully execute our business plan. Moreover, in the future, we may have to increase wages and benefits in order to attract and retain qualified personnel or risk considerable employee turnover.

The airline industry is particularly sensitive to changes in economic conditions.

Negative economic conditions or a reoccurrence of such conditions would negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our business and the airline industry in general are affected by many changing economic conditions beyond our control, including, among others:

changes and volatility in general economic conditions, including the severity and duration of any downturn in the U.S. or Global economy and financial markets;
changes in consumer preferences, perceptions, spending patterns or demographic trends, including any increased preference for higher-fare carriers offering higher amenity levels, and reduced preferences for low-fare carriers offering more basic transportation, during better economic times;
higher levels of unemployment and varying levels of disposable or discretionary income;
depressed housing and stock market prices; and

lower levels of actual or perceived consumer confidence.

These factors can adversely affect the results of our operations, our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, and our liquidity generally. Unfavorable general economic conditions, such as higher unemployment rates, a constrained credit market, housing-related pressures and increased focus on reducing business operating costs can reduce spending for leisure, visiting friends and relatives, and business travel. For many travelers, in particular the leisure and visiting friends and relatives travelers we serve, air transportation is a discretionary purchase that they can eliminate from their spending in difficult economic times. Unfavorable economic conditions could also affect our ability to raise prices to counteract increased fuel, labor or other costs, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

13


Risks associated with our presence in international emerging markets, including political or economic instability, and failure to adequately comply with existing legal requirements, may materially adversely affect us.

Some of our target growth markets include countries with less developed economies, legal systems, financial markets and business and political environments are vulnerable to economic and political disruptions, such as significant fluctuations in gross domestic product, interest and currency exchange rates, civil disturbances, government instability, nationalization and expropriation of private assets, trafficking and the imposition of taxes or other charges by governments. The occurrence of any of these events in markets served by us now or in the future and the resulting instability may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We will emphasize compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and will implement and refresh policies, procedures and certain ongoing training of our employees, third-party specialists and partners with regard to business ethics and key legal requirements; however, we cannot assure you that our employees, third-party specialists or partners will adhere to our code of ethics, other policies or other legal requirements. If we fail to enforce our policies and procedures properly or maintain adequate recordkeeping and internal accounting practices to record our transactions accurately, we may be subject to sanctions. In the event we believe or have reason to believe our employees, third-party specialists or partners have or may have violated applicable laws or regulations, we may incur investigation costs, potential penalties and other related costs which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face limits on foreign ownership and control.

To comply with restrictions imposed by federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines, we will restrict voting of shares of capital stock by non-U.S. citizens. The restrictions imposed by federal law currently require that no more than 25% of our stock be voted or controlled, directly or indirectly, by persons who are not U.S. citizens and that our president and at least two-thirds of the members of our board of directors be U.S. citizens.

To be considered a U.S. citizen, you must be: (1) individual who is a citizen of the U.S.; (2) a partnership each of whose partners is an individual who is a citizen of the U.S.; or (3) a corporation or association organized under the laws of the U.S. or a state, the District of Columbia, or a territory or possession of the U.S., of which the president and at least two-thirds of the board of directors and other managing officers are citizens of the U.S., which is under the actual control of citizens of the U.S., and in which at least 75 percent of the voting interest is owned and controlled by persons that are citizens of the U.S.

No shares of stock may be voted by or at the direction of non-U.S. citizens unless such shares are registered on a separate stock record, which is referred to as the foreign stock record. Further, no shares of its capital stock will be registered on the foreign stock record if the amount so registered would exceed the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law.

We are subject to extensive regulation by the FAA, the DOT, the TSA, CBP and other U.S. and foreign governmental agencies, compliance with which could cause us to incur increased costs and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Airlines are subject to extensive regulatory and legal compliance requirements, both domestically and internationally, that involve significant costs. In the last several years, Congress has passed laws, and the DOT, FAA and TSA have issued regulations, relating to the operation of airlines that have required significant expenditures. We expect to continue to incur expenses in connection with complying with government regulations. Additional laws, regulations, taxes and airport rates and charges have been proposed from time to time that could significantly increase the cost of airline operations or reduce the demand for air travel. If adopted, these measures could have the effect of raising charter prices, reducing revenue and increasing costs.

We cannot assure you that these and other laws or regulations enacted in the future will not harm our business. Our ability to operate as an airline is dependent on our maintaining certifications issued to us by the DOT and the FAA. The FAA has the authority to issue


mandatory orders relating to, among other things, the grounding of aircraft, inspection of aircraft, installation of new safety-related items and removal and replacement of aircraft parts that have failed or may fail in the future. A decision by the FAA to ground, or require time consuming inspections of or maintenance on, our aircraft, for any reason, could negatively affect our business and financial results. Federal law requires that air carriers operating large aircraft be continuously “fit, willing and able” to provide the services for which they are licensed. Our “fitness” is monitored by the DOT, which considers factors such as unfair or deceptive competition, advertising, baggage liability and disabled passenger transportation.

While the DOT has seldom revoked a carrier’s certification for lack of fitness, such an occurrence would render it impossible for us to continue operating as an airline. The DOT may also institute investigations or administrative proceedings against airlines for violations of regulations.

International routes are regulated by treaties and related agreements between the United States and foreign governments. Our ability to operate international routes is subject to change because the applicable arrangements between the United States and foreign governments may be amended from time to time. Our access to new international markets may be limited by our ability to obtain the necessary certificates to fly the international routes. In addition, our operations in foreign countries are subject to regulation by foreign governments and our business may be affected by changes in law and future actions taken by such governments, including granting or withdrawal of government approvals and restrictions on competitive practices. We are subject to numerous foreign regulations inbased on the large number of countries outside the United States where we hope tocurrently provide service to as a US Flag Carrier.service. If we are not able to comply with thethis complex regulatory regime, in such countries, our ability to grow the business could be significantly harmed.

We have limits on our fleet expansion.

We must obtain the approval of the FAA and the DOT to operate aircraft internationally. We intend to apply for the right to fly internationally. This application will be based on a demonstration of our financial and managerial fitness and safety compliance for expanded operations. There can be no assurance that such authorization will be granted. The failure of the FAA and the DOT to grant approval to operate additional aircraft would materially restrict our ability to grow.

Risk Factors Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock

We do not know whether an active, liquid and orderly market will develop for our common stock or what the market price of our common stock will be, and, as a result, it may be difficult for you to sell your shares of our common stock.

Our common stock currently trades on the OTCQB and TSXVNEO and our Class B Non-Voting Common Stock trades on the TSXV,NEO, each with very limited daily trading volume. The market price of our common stock and our Class B Non-Voting Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

limited daily trading volume resulting in the lack of a liquid market;
our success in purchasing aircraft, obtaining regulatory approval and other authorizations for our business;
general market, political and economic conditions;
changes in fuel prices;
changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts;
our failure to meet financial analysts’ performance expectations;
changes in market valuations of our competitors; and
the expiration of the lock-up periods on shares of our common stock that were outstanding prior to this offering.outstanding.

Until our common stock is listed on a qualified national securities exchange or our common stock price exceeds $5 per share, our common stock will be considered a “penny stock” and will not qualify for exemption from the “penny stock” restrictions, which may make it more difficult for you to sell your shares.

Our common stock has traded on the OTCQB at a price of less than $5.00 per share and, as a result, is considered a “penny stock” by the SEC and subject to rules adopted by the SEC regulating broker- dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that is not listed on a qualified national securities exchange and that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, these rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made


about current quotations for the securities and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative. Finally, broker-dealers must send monthly statements to purchasers of penny stocks disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As a result of our common stock being subject to the rules on penny stocks, the liquidity of our common stock may be adversely affected.

We will require additional capital in the future and raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our business assets.

We will require additional capital in the future and we may seek additional capital through a combination of public and private equity offerings, debt financings, working capital lines of credit and potential licenses and collaboration agreements. We, and indirectly, our stockholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any future offerings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and could involve restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire additional aircraft and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Additionally, any future collaborations we enter into with third parties may provide capital in the near term but limit our potential cash flow and revenue in the future.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they publish negative evaluations of our stock, the price of our stock could decline.

The trading market for our common stock and our Class B Non-Voting Common Stock will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by industry or financial analysts. If no or few analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price of our stock could decrease. Even if we do obtain analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts covering our business downgrade their evaluations of our stock, the price of our stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover our stock, we could lose visibility in the market for our stock, and our Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

Insiders will continue to have substantial influence over us, after this offering, which could limit your ability to affect the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control.

Our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of our outstanding stock and their respective affiliates will beneficially own shares representing approximately 63%40% of our outstanding common stock and the total voting power of our capital stock.. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, will be able to influence our management and affairs and all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company and might affect the market price of our common stock and our Class B Non-Voting Common Stock.

We will register the shares of common stock issuable under our equity compensation plans and the sale of such shares could affect our market price. If any of these additional shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decline.

Our corporate charter and bylawsBylaws include provisions limiting voting and ownership by non-U.S. citizens.

To comply with restrictions imposed by federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines, our certificateCertificate of incorporationIncorporation and bylawsBylaws restrict voting of shares of our common stock by non-U.S. citizens. The restrictions imposed by federal law currently require that no more than 24.9% of our stock be voted, directly or indirectly, by persons who are not U.S. citizens, that no more than 49.9% of our outstanding stock be owned (beneficially or of record) by persons who are not U.S. citizens and that our president and at least two-thirds of the members of our board of directors and senior management be U.S. citizens. Our amended and restated bylawsBylaws provide that the failure of non-U.S. citizens to register their shares on a separate stock record, which we refer to as the “foreign stock record,” would result in a suspension of their voting rights in the event that the aggregate foreign ownership of the outstanding common stock exceeds the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law. Our bylawsBylaws also provide that any transfer or issuance of our stock that would cause the amount of our stock owned by persons who are not U.S. citizens to exceed foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law will be void and of no effect.

Our bylawsBylaws further provide that no shares of our common stock will be registered on the foreign stock record if the amount so registered would exceed the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law. If it is determined that the amount registered in the foreign stock record exceeds the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law, shares will be removed from the foreign stock record


in reverse chronological order based on the date of registration therein, until the number of shares registered therein does not exceed the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law. We are currently in compliance with these ownership restrictions.

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and plan to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include, but are not limited to: (i) exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to SOX; (ii) exemption from compliance with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; (iii) reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and (iv) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We will continue to remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of the following: (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of this offering; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenue is equal to or more than $1.07 billion; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

In addition, we are currently a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in the Exchange Act and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an “emerging growth company” may continue to be available to us as a “smaller reporting company,” including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to SOX and reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. We will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” until we have $250 million or more in public float (based on our outstanding capital stock) measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or, in the event we have no public float (based on our outstanding capital stock) or a public float (based on our outstanding capital stock) that is less than $700 million, annual revenues of $100 million or more during the most recently completed fiscal year.

As a result, the information we provide stockholders will be different than the information that is available with respect to other public companies. We have not included all of the executive compensation related information that would be required if we were not an emerging growth company, nor have we included all of the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk that would be required if we were not a smaller reporting company. We cannot predict whether investors will find our stock less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have opted to take advantage of this extended transition period for the adoption of certain accounting standards.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.

As a public company, and particularly after we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. SOX, the Dodd- FrankDodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices.

We expect that we will need to hire additional accounting, finance, and other personnel in connection with our becoming, and our effortsas we continue to grow to comply with thepublic company reporting requirements, of being,as a public company, and our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time towards maintaining compliance with these requirements. These requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time- consuming and costly. For example, we expect that the rules and regulations applicable to us as a public company may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtainmaintain director and officer liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. We are currently evaluating these rules and regulations and cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. These rules and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could


result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.

Pursuant to Section 404 of SOX, we will beare required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting beginning with our second filing of an Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC after we becomebecame a public company. However, while we remain an emerging growth company or smaller reporting company, we willare not be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with Section 404 of SOX within the prescribed period, we will beare engaged in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants, adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented, and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that we willare not be able to conclude, within the prescribed timeframe or at all, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as required by Section 404 of SOX. If we identify one or more material weaknesses, it could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

In addition, any future credit facility we enter into,Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or debt instrumentDGCL, prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder, generally a person which together with its affiliates owns, or within the last three years has owned, 15% of our voting stock, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.

Holders of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock have no voting rights. As a result, holders of Class B Non- Voting Common Stock will not have any ability to influence stockholder decisions.

Class B Non-Voting Common Stockholders, including those purchasing Class B Non-Voting Common Stock in this offering, have no voting rights, unless required by Delaware law. As a result, all matters submitted to stockholders will be decided by the vote of holders of the common stock. Unlike holders of voting shares, holders of nonvoting shares cannot vote on: (1) the election or removal of directors; (2) the approval of extraordinary transactions, such as mergers, (3) significant asset sales, or dissolution, (4) amendments to the certificate of incorporation, which is the legal document setting forth the terms of each class of stock, except that holders of nonvoting shares are entitled to vote on amendments that would (a) unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares, (b) increase or decrease the par value of the shares, or (c) adversely alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the shares; and (5) other corporate governance matters, including say-on-pay votes and bylaw amendments put to a stockholder vote.

As a public company, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to management, and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. We believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements or insufficient disclosures due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of their business. We believe that our current proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. We record a liability when a loss is considered probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Current Proceedings

On October 1, 2021, GEM Global Yield Bahamas Limited (“GEM”LLC SCS ("GEM") commenced an action, has filed initial pleadings in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County Ofof New York, against the Company (the “GEM Litigation”). GEM claimsclaiming the Company breached a May 4, 2020 promissory note (the “Note”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to make certain payments to GEM in an aggregate amount of CDN $2,000,000 (the “Fee”) in consideration for GEM and GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (collectively the “GEM Parties”) entering into a share subscription agreement (the “SSA”) providing forbetween the GEM Parties to purchase up to CDN$100,000,000 worth of common shares in the Company upon the occurrence of certain events. GEM claims that the Company failedparties by failing to pay the first installment of the Feea $500,000 fee due on May 4, 2021 as due2021. GEM is requesting repayment in full of the CAD $2,000,000 promissory note issued by the Company to GEM plus accrued interest and thatcosts and expenses related to collection. As of December 31, 2022, the note payable to GEM is recorded in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and the Company expensed the full CDN$2,000,000outstanding amount capitalized as deferred financing costs of $2,809,031.

On January 18, 2023, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of GEM. GEM subsequently filed a motion seeking $2,000,000 CAD, plus interest totaling $218,493.87, with an additional $506.02 accruing each day after January 30, 2023 until entry of Judgment. GEM also seeks $112,584.50 in attorney's fees and $4,884.86 in costs. In 2022, interest and attorney's fees were recorded in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and other expenses non-operating on the consolidated statement of operation.

On March 29, 2023 Global Crossing Airlines and GEM entered into a final settlement which included a payment plan for the $2,000,000 CAD over nine months plus the extension of the Fee is acceleratedagreement for 12 months. Consequently, GlobalX has adjusted the current liabilities to reverse the previously accrued interest and attorney’s fees no longer due. Upon final payment GEM agrees to file a satisfaction of judgment in County of New York, effectively settling this issue. GlobalX made payments due now.

The Company claims that the GEM Parties breached the SSA by, among other things, selling the Company’s common shares when prohibited from doing so pursuant to the SSA, as part of a stock manipulation scheme,per final settlement and that such breach excuses the Company had no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2023.

The Company is opposingShorts defamation per se based on numerous false statements made by Shorts in the relief GEM seeksmarketplace. On October 4, 2023, Shorts responded in court by denying the claims made and cross-moving to stay the GEM Litigation on several bases including that (i) thecountersued all parties agreed to arbitrate any dispute, (ii) GEM’s suit is procedurally improper, and (iii) the GEM Parties’for breach of contract and theft of trade secrets. This case is currently in the SSA excuses the Companydiscovery phase.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from paying the Fee. The Company’s opposition papers were filed on November 19, 2021, at which point GEM had an opportunity to file reply papers. Given the backlog of cases at the court due to COVID and other factors, the Company has not heard from or estimate when the court will rule on the parties’ respective filings.those disclosed above in “Part I.

with GlobalX assuming the operational risk of providing a functional aircraft, trained crew, in a safe and on time manner as the ACMI operator.

Location of Operations Bases

GlobalX will initially operate from two geographic bases:

Miami International Airport (“MIA”) – GlobalX’s main base of operations is MIA, and, pursuant to its Airline Use Agreement with MIA, GlobalX (1) operates charter flights out of Concourse E, and rents office space and operates its ticket counters, and (2) maintains a maintenance office for its maintenance staff and for storage of all aircraft records, as well as spare parts and consumables storage, with loading dock capabilities. While we do have an Airline Use Agreement in place with MIA, it does not guarantee availability of boarding gates or landing slots at that airport.
Atlantic City Airport (“ACY”) – GlobalX has a northeastern U.S. base at Atlantic City Airport, New Jersey, and intends to eventually base two A320 aircraft there. ACY has below-market aircraft landing fees and aircraft parking fees, and because of its location further east and on the water, does not experience the full effect of northeastern winter storms, remaining relatively free of snow and ice in the winter. ACY serves as an excellent location to base aircraft, will be used both for charters into Atlantic City on behalf of its major casinos, and to efficiently move aircraft for ad hoc and last-minute charters from other northeastern airports, including New York – JFK, New York – LaGuardia, Newark, Boston and Philadelphia.

Reducing Operational Costs

To control costs and maintain a competitive cost per Block Hour flown, GlobalX:

Flies only one aircraft family (A320).
Maintains focus on continuous financial discipline and strict departmental budgeting.

Has implemented and utilizes highly digital operating methods for both flight and maintenance operations, using best in class aviation software operating systems from leading suppliers including dispatch (Navblue), maintenance (Trax) and training software (Mint). By capitalizing on the latest software, GlobalX can effectively eliminate most manual processes and operate effectively with fewer people than a comparably-sized airline using older software systems.
Promotes organizational culture of efficiency and high productivity.

Marketing Plan

GlobalX plans to achieve its revenue goals by flying charter operations for a variety of client groups:

Scheduled airlines that have short-term or long-term capacity needs to supplement their existing routes or fleets.
Major tour operators, resorts, cruise lines and casinos that require airlift above and beyond scheduled service to meet their occupancy needs.
Professional and collegiate sports teams
Charter brokers representing a variety of interests, including the entertainment industry, dignitary travel, political campaigns, and government programs.

GlobalX Aircraft Fleet

Critical to GlobalX’s business model is a fleet of modern and cost-effective aircraft. To achieve this objective, GlobalX has selected what it believes is the best overall single-aisle aircraft family to operate. This approach differs from traditional airlines, which purchase a variety of aircraft, often from different manufacturers, to achieve their operational flight sectors, resulting in increased training, operating and spare part costs. GlobalX conducted research to determine the best aircraft to fly in competition with other narrow-body charter airlines in the single-aisle seat market and GlobalX selected the A320 aircraft family.

The following factors support GlobalX’s choice to operate the Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft versus the Boeing family of aircraft:

Cost and Operating factors: lower fuel burn, and better aircraft and cockpit crew pool availability.

Operational Capability: the A320 has a range advantage over the 737-800 and can fly non-stop from Miami to selected airports in North America, South America, the Caribbean, and between most major destinations in Europe. The A320 has excellent maintenance dispatch reliability and strong availability of spare parts and components, making the A320, in management’s estimation, the most popular aircraft among low-cost airlines.

Passenger comfort: better seat width, cargo bin volume for carry-on baggage and cargo hold volume.

Aircraft Maintenance

Heavy maintenance checks are expected to be sourced outoutsourced to FAA-approved service providers. The "6Y"6Y and "12Y"12Y checks will be primarily paid for using funds from the accrued maintenance reserves paid to lessors under operating leases.

Strategy to Address Competitive Response

We expect the existing charter operators based in the U.S. to respond to GlobalX’s entry into the market by lowering their pricing to customers. The expected competitive response typically includes lowered ACMI rates for key contracts. We believe GlobalX’s existing relationships with potential customers and the underserved demand in the U.S., coupled with our newer planes allowing for a more cost-efficient operation, will allow us to address any competitive pressure and grow as anticipated.

GlobalX Charter Service

22


GlobalX is a charter provider that currently focuses exclusively on providing customized, non-scheduled passenger air transportservices with narrow-body Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. We expect our primary line of business and focus to be commercial charter servicesfrom MIA to destinations throughout North and South America and the Caribbean, with established several key customer including the US Government, scheduled airlines, that need additionalUS colleges and indirect air lift tosupplement their own, and established tour and travel operators that sell tour packages in and between these markets.carriers.

We provide our services through two contract structures: (1) ACMI and (2) CharterCharter.

We believe operating charter flights will largely insulate our expected profitability from fluctuations in jet fuel prices, which are typically the largest and most volatile expense for an air carrier. Under the vast majority of our commercial passenger charter arrangements, our


customers bear 100% of the cost of jet fuel. In addition, consistent with industry practice, we plan for those customers to pay us our contract price approximately two weeks in advance of their flights.

Because we expect that our ACMI customers would beare responsible for fuel costs, our expected commercial ACMI revenues would not be affected directly by fuel price changes. However, a significant increase in fuel prices would likely have an adverse effect on demand for the use of our aircraft, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and financial position.

Experienced management team

Our management team has extensive operating and leadership experience in the airfreight, airline, and aircraft

Leasing, leasing, maintenance, and management industries at companies such as Republic Airways, Eastern Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Virgin America, Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, US Airways, Atlas Air, Breeze Airways, Emirates, North American Airlines, Miami Air, AAR,Spirit Airlines, Continental Airlines, Pan Am, Atlantic Coast Airlines, and Flair Airlines, as well as the United States Army, and Air Force. In addition, our management team has a diversity of experience from other industries at companies such as KBR, Teladoc, The Home Depot, Halliburton, Lehman Brothers, and the Burger King Corporation.

Business Strategy

GlobalX seeks to become the best-in-class U.S. narrow-body, ACMI and Full Contractfull services contract charter airline, operating both passenger and cargo charter aircraft while recruiting and maintaining a dynamic team of customer-centric flight crews, ground teams and management staff.

In launching a US 121 Domestic Flag and Supplemental charter airline in the United States, GlobalX has done or plans to do, the following:

Launch passenger charter flights with A320/A321 all passenger aircraft

GlobalX operates its A320 family aircraft under ACMI/Full Contract charter operations for major airlines, tour operators, college and professional sports teams, incentive groups, major resorts and casino groups.

Deliver best in class on time performance and dispatch reliability;
Expand existing relationships and develop additional relationships with leading European charter/ our operators to provide aircraft during their peak seasons; and
Provide ad-hoc and track charter programs for non-airline customers, including hotels, casinos, cruise ship companies, tour operators.

Launch cargo charter flights with A321P2F (Passenger to Freighter)

GlobalX plans to add A321F (passenger to freighter) aircraft to its operating certificate and into the fleet commencing Q3 2022. Cargo is an important revenue stream for airlines and will be an integral part of the GlobalX operation.

GlobalX intends to operate its A321Fs under ACMI/Wet Lease charter operations with major package operators and major freight and logistics companies. Under these arrangements, customarily, these operators will take the commercial risk associated with the selling of the cargo capacity and provide all ground handling and cargo-specific operations, with GlobalX assuming the operational risk of providing a functional aircraft, trained crew, in a safe and on time manner as the ACMI operator.

The analysis of GlobalX results for the twelve months period ended on December 31, 2023 and 2022 requires an understanding of how the Company fundamentally evolved during that time period. 2022 was our first year of full operations and was a period where the company was focused on securing new customers, entering new markets and flying to new locations; primarily in the domestic and Caribbean markets. As a young company, we were learning how to operate effectively and efficiently.

By contrast in 2023, GlobalX expanded existing relationships, entered the Cargo market, expandedoperations in the European ACMI market and increased focus on operating for existing airlines once we completed our IOSA certification. Our key metric is block hours flown and block hours flown per available aircraft, which is the measure by which we track commercial activity. While other airlines discuss available seat miles and revenue per available seat mile (“rasm”), cost per available seat mile (“casm”), these metrics are not germane to our business model as an ACMI and Charter operator. GlobalX charters the entire aircraft, does not take fuel risk, and does not take third party risk therefore all results are evaluated on a block hour basis.

OperatingCharter revenue for the period increased $14.3$40.8 million or 55.7%, from $73.3 million in 2022 to $114.1 million in 2023. $33.5 million of the increased revenue is attributable to flying more block hours as the number of block hours operated increased 41.6% from 6,253 in 2022 to 8,852 block hours in 2023, driven by the increased number of aircraft available to operate.In addition, the net rate for Charter flying increased 10.0% from $11,726 per block hour to $12,893 per block hour. There are two factors impacting the net Charter rate; first is the rate that we charged customers for the ACMI portion of the contract and second was the cost of fuel. Average fuel cost was lower in 2023 so that reduced the rate by $1,027 per block hour. This was offset by an increase of $2,194 per block hour in the average rate charged to customers. The net effect was an increase of $1,167 per block hour. This increase contributed $7.3 million of the total charter revenue improvement.

24


ACMI revenue for the period increased by $27.1 million or 202.6% from $13.4 million in 2022 to $40.5 million in 2023. This variance can largely be explained by a 65% increase in the number of available aircraft which resulted in an increase from 2,328 block hours in 2022 to 9,157 block hours in 2023, an increase of 293.3% or 6,829 block hours. The average revenue per block hour dropped from $5,744 in 2022 to $4,420 in 2023 due to several factors. Generally, when a customer commits to a greater minimum number of block hours in a month, there is a reduction on the revenue per block hour charged. In 2023, not only was GlobalX flying more hours, GlobalX flew more hours per month per aircraft, primarily servicing key customers in Europe. There were also several contracts in 2022 that flew under the minimum guaranteed rate, which increased the revenue per block hour flown that did not occur in 2023.Those two factors combined to reduce the average revenue per block hour by 23.1% or $1,324 per block hour.

Other revenue for the period decreased by $4.9 million from $10.4 million in 2022 to $5.5 million in 2023, due a specific contract in 2022 that GlobalX was not able to operate due to the initiationCompany's lack of regulatory approval. This contract had a guaranteed minimum amount of block hours that were paid even though GlobalX was unable to operate the flights. The associated revenue operations. Block Hours increased 1,679, alsoearned under the contract was booked as a direct result of the initiation ofother revenue service.with no operational block hours.

The total employees grew 59.0% from 393 to 625 and pilots increased from 70 to 138, or 97.1%.

Aircraft fuel is directly correlated to the number of Charter block hours which increased $3.12,599 or 41.6%, the average spot price of jet fuel which decreased by 20.2% from $3.37 per gallon in 2022 to $2.69 per gallon in 2023 and the type of aircraft being flown with A321’s burning more fuel than an A320. The consequence of all three factors was that fuel increased 28.0% from $23.0 million or N/A%, driven by our initiation of revenue service. The majority of this cost is included in our revenue.to $29.5 million.

Maintenance, materials, and repairsincreased by $833 thousand,$4.2 million, from $4.4 million to $8.6 million, or N/A%96.5%, drivenprimarily due to the increase in both the number of aircraft to 14 and the number of block hours flown which increased 108.5%. These volume drivers were partially offset by our initiationrate improvement from $505 per block hour to $476 per block hour, a 5.6% decrease. This decrease in rate per block hour was achieved through increased efficiencies and the benefits of revenue service.a larger scaled operation.

Depreciation and amortization increased $34 thousand,$1.7 million, or 27,331%276.2%, from $0.6 million to $2.3 million, driven by assets acquired to support our FAA certificationairport operations.

Contracted ground and aviation services increased by $4.9 million, or 31.4%, from $15.6 million to $20.5 million, These costs are directly correlated to the number of Charter hours operated in a specific period. Year-over-year Charter block hours increased 41.6%. This was offset by a reduction in station specific cost such as navigation expense, aircraft security expense, and ground handling due to favorable pricing and station mix.

Travel increased $3.3 million or N/A%65.9%, driven by our initiationfrom $5.0 million to $ 8.3 million, primarily due to the increase in Block Hours and a significant increase in the number of revenue service.pilots in training who require hotel accommodations during the trips.

Aircraft rent increased $18.0 million, or 115.4%, from $15.6 million to $33.6 million, primarily due to the increase in the number of aircraft during 2021from eight to fourteen aircraft in the fleet.

Operating loss increased by $4.7 million, from an operating loss of $11.2 million to $15.9 million, however operating loss as a percentage improved from (11.5%) to (9.8%), a 15% improvement. This was a direct result of GlobalX’s ability to grow its revenue faster than its cost structure as the airline works towards achieving scale and our initiationprofitability. Specifically, the Salaries, wages, and benefits rate improved by 15.4% dropping from $3,534 to $2,991 per block hour as planners and schedulers are able to achieve optimization.

The Company regularly assesses our anticipated working capital needs, debt and leverage levels, debt maturities, capital expenditure requirements and future investments or acquisitions to maximize shareholder return, efficiently finance our ongoing operations and maintain flexibility for future strategic transactions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and
changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition

We do not expectbase our estimates and judgments on our experience, our current knowledge, our beliefs of what could occur in the future, our observation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other resources. Actual results may differ from the estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified the following policies and estimates as those that we believe are most critical to pay anyour financial condition and results of operations and that require management's most subjective and complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties: allowance for credit losses, fair value measurements

for stock-based compensation and deferred tax valuation allowance. See footnote 2 of the Company's consolidated financial statements for significant U.S. federal income tax inaccounting policies.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The update requires the use of an “expected loss” model on certain types of financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to calculate credit loss estimates. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, entities will be required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction to the carrying value of the asset. ASU 2016-13 was initially effective for non- public companies for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which delayed the effective date for certain entities, such as the Company, to apply ASU 2016-13 until fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this pronouncement had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheetssheet of Global Crossing Airlines Group, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two yeartwo-year period ended December 31, 2021,2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two yeartwo-year period ended December 31, 2021,2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has limited operating history, has recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, and has a working capital deficiency and retained deficit as of December 31, 2021. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s2023, these factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regardingin regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits.audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our auditsaudit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our auditsaudit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Global Crossing Airlines Inc. (the “Company” or “Global”“GlobalX”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and continued as a Federal corporation pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act effective February 28, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed a business acquisition pursuant to which it acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Global Crossing Airlines, Inc. (“Global USA”), a Delaware corporation. For financial reporting purposes, the Company is considered a continuation of Global USA, the legal subsidiary, except with regard to authorized and issued common stock which is that of the Company, the legal parent. On December 22, 2020, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the province of British Columbia, Canada to the State of Delaware. The U.S. Domestication was required for the Company to complete its charter licensing process and will also reflect the Company’s U.S.-business and operations. The Company’s principal business activity is providing passenger aircraft to customers through aircraft operating service agreements including, crew, maintenance, insurance (“ACMI”) and charter services “Charter” serving the US, Caribbean and Latin American markets. The Company’s shares trade on the TSX VentureNEO Exchange (the “Exchange” or “TSXV”“NEO”) under the symbol “JET” and the OTCQB under the symbol “JETMF.”

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2021,2023 and 2022, the Company had a working capital deficitdeficits of $5,113,865$22,435,074 and a$16,141,322, respectively, and retained deficitdeficits of $22,262,307.$59,093,845 and $38,083,304, respectively. The Company began flight operations in August 2021. Without ongoing income generation or additional financing, the Company will be unable to fund general and administrative expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is evaluating financing its future requirements through a combination of debt, equity and/or other facilities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financingsfinancing or obtain them on favorable terms. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption deemed to be inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the virus known as COVID-19. The airline industry has been impacted significantly as many local and regional governments have issued public health orders and travel restrictions in response to COVID-19. An extended disruption may affect the Company’s ability to generate revenue and obtain additional financing. The impact of these factors on the Company is not yet determinable; however, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods may be materially affected.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions; at times, such balances may be in excess of insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these balances.

Assets held for sale

Assets held for sale consist of the purchased airframe parts from used Airbus 320 bearing manufacturer's serial number 2090 as completed on sales agreement entered on March 2, 2022. Assets held for sale are valued at the lower of the carrying amount or the net realizable value estimated at December 31, 2023. They were recorded at average cost and are expensed when sold, used or consumed. An allowance for obsolescence on aircraft airframe parts is recorded when impaired to reduce the carrying costs to lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company monitors resale values for its assets held for sale on a recurrent basis using various qualitative and quantitative matters including analysis of current sales, estimates obtained from outside vendors, physical counts, internal discussions, among others. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not identify items that were obsolete and recorded a broad range$0 allowance for obsolete items on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Intangible Assets

The Company entered in an agreement on September 21, 2023 to invest $453,600 in the purchase 54,000 carbon offsets from Karbon-X to be paid monthly over 36 months from October 1, 2023 to September 1, 2026. Carbon offsetting involves compensating for carbon emissions by investing in projects that reduce or remove an equivalent amount of information including historical information, current conditionsgreenhouse gases from the atmosphere. This initiative aligns with the Company's goal to balance its carbon footprint and forecasts. Account balancescontribute to environmental sustainability through supporting various projects such as renewable energy initiatives and afforestation programs.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $453,600 of intangible asset cost and accumulated amortization of $37,800, which is reflected in the “Deposits and Other Assets” of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The expected annual amortization for the carbon offsets intangibles is $151,200 for 2024 and 2025 and $113,400 in 2026.

The carbon offsets intangibles was initially measured at cost and will be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization. In the events or changes suggesting unrecoverable carrying values, the Company will assess Carbon-Offsets carrying amount value using the impairment model in accordance with ASC 360. The impairment test involves a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired, and an impairment loss needs to be recognized. In

Lessor Maintenance Deposits

GlobalX’s aircraft lease agreements provide that GlobalGlobalX pay maintenance reserves monthly to aircraft lessors to be held as collateral in advance of major maintenance activities required to be performed by Global. Maintenance reserve payments are either fixed, or variable based on actual flight hours or cycles. These lease agreements provide that maintenance reserves are reimbursable to GlobalGlobalX upon completion of the maintenance event in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount of the maintenance reserve held by the lessor associated with the specific maintenance event or (2) the qualifying costs related to the specific maintenance event.

Maintenance reserve payments that are expected to be recoverable via reimbursable expenses will be reflected as Lessor Maintenance Deposits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2021,2023 and 2022, Lessor Maintenance Deposits totaled $82,776$908,358 and $889,919, respectively, and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Deferred Costs and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not make or expense any maintenance reserve payments as none were due.Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Heavy Maintenance

The Company accounts for heavy maintenance costs for airframes and engines using the deferral method. Under this method, expense recognition of scheduled heavy maintenance events is deferred and amortized over the estimated period until the next scheduled heavy maintenance event is required.

Investments in partnerships and less-than-majority owned subsidiaries in which the Company does not have control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The equity method investments are included in the accompanying Balance Sheets with Deferred Costs and Other Assets. The Company’s share of earnings or losses from these investments is shown in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in Other Expense. Equity method investments are initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the equity investment is adjusted at each reporting period by the percentage of any change in its equity corresponding to the Company’s percentage interest in these equity

affiliates. The carrying costs of these investments are also increased or decreased to reflect additional contributions or withdrawals of capital. Any difference in the book equity and the Company’s pro-rata share of the net assets of the investment will be reported as gain or loss at the time of the liquidation of the investment. It is the Company’s policy to record losses in excess of the investment if the Company is committed to provide financial support to the investee.

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. Such indicators include significant technological changes, adverse changes in market conditions and/or poor operating results. The carrying value of a long-lived asset group is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than its carrying value. The amount of impairment loss recognized is the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset or asset group. Fair value is determined using various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third- party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 20212023 and 2020.2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument.

The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Estimating fair value for granted stock options and compensatory warrants requires determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option or warrant, volatility, dividend yield, and rate of forfeitures and making assumptions about them.

Estimating fair value for granted restricted share units requires estimating the number of awards likely to vest on grant and at each reporting date up to the vesting date. The estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted for actual forfeitures in the period.

Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

Income taxes

The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets and liabilities will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and liabilities is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets or liabilities, and deferred income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.

Leases

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019,Lease classification is evaluated by the Company adoptedat lease commencement and when significant amendments are executed. The Company's leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate; therefore, the guidanceCompany estimates the incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The lease term consists of ASC 842, Leases ,” (“ASC 842”), which requires an entitythe

noncancellable period of the lease and periods covered by options to recognizeextend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. For leases of 12 months or less, the Company expenses lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating Lease Right-of-Use Asset and Liabilities

For all operating leases with a term greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. Theat the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of future minimum lease payments, which includes certain lease and non-lease components, over the lease term. Operating Lease Right-of-use Assets and Operating Lease Obligations have their own lines on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Finance Leases

Finance leases are initially recorded at the net present value of future minimum lease payments, which includes certain lease and non-lease components. Finance leases generally have one of these five attributes: 1) ownership of the underlying asset transfers to the Company determines if a contractat the end of the lease term, 2) the lease agreement contains a lease at inception. Thepurchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, 3) the lease term represents the non-cancellable period for whichmajor part of the asset’s economic life, 4) the present value of lease payments over the lease term equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset, and 5) the underlying asset is so specialized in nature that it provides no alternative use to the lessor after the lease term. Finance Lease Assets are presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company depreciates Finance Lease Assets consistent with its useful life policy presented in the table above.

Leased Aircraft Return Costs

The Company's aircraft lease agreements often contain provisions that require the Company hasto return aircraft airframes, engines, and other aircraft components to the rightlessor in a certain condition or pay an amount to use an underlying asset, which may include periods covered by certain options to extend and/or terminate the lease.lessor based on the airframe and engine's actual return condition. Lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assetsreturn costs are recognized atbeginning when it is probable that such costs will be incurred, and they can be estimated. The Company assesses the commencement dateneed to accrue lease return costs periodically throughout the year or whenever facts and circumstances warrant an assessment. When costs become both probable and estimable, lease return costs are expensed as a component of a lease. Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recordedAircraft Rent expense on the balance sheet.

In addition, the Company leases office space under a month-to-month agreement. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, including renewal options when appropriate, we record the related right-of-use asset and lease liability as the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term.

Customer Deposits

Warrant Liability

Customer Deposits represent money we receive from our customers as a security deposit for their contract. The Company evaluates its warrantsmoney will either be returned to determine if those contracts qualify as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair valuecustomer at the end of the warrant liabilitycontract or used for payment of any unpaid invoices/debts the customer has during the contract term.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred Revenue represents revenue prepayments. Customers pay in advance of their flights and the funds are held as Deferred Revenue until the flight takes place. Charter customers typically pay a 10% deposit upon signing a contract and the remainder 30 days before the flight. If the contract is marked-to-market each balance sheetsigned less than 30 days from the date and recorded as a liability, with the change in fair value recorded in the statements of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a warrant liability, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

For warrants with a fixed conversion price and a fixed number of shares, the Company utilizes a Black Scholes model for valuation. For warrants with variability in the number of shares or conversion price (such as a down round feature), the Company utilizes the Monte Carlo Method to value the warrant liability. The reason the Company selected the lattice binomial model is that in many cases there may be multiple embedded features or the features may be so complex that a Black-Scholes valuation does not consider all of the terms offlight, the instrument. Therefore, the fair value may not be appropriately captured by simple models.entire amount is collected upon signing. ACMI customers typically pay 2 weeks in advance.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates operating revenues by providing passenger aircraft outsourcing services to customers on a Charter and ACMI basis, in exchange for guaranteed minimum revenues at predetermined levels of operation for defined periods of time. The Company also generates other operating revenue from chargebacks related to charter costs including but not limited to fuel, airport fees, navigation fees, and ground handling. Furthermore, the Company also earns other operating revenue from cancellation of flights from customers.

Our performance obligations under Charter contracts involve the provision of passenger aircraft charter services to customers, including various US Government agencies, brokers, freight forwarders, direct shippers, airlines, college sports teams and fans, and private charter customers. Our obligations are for one or more flights based on a specific origin and destination. The Company typically bears all direct operating costs for charters, which include fuel, insurance, landing and navigation fees, and most other operational fees and costs.

The time interval between when an aircraft departs the terminal until it arrives at the destination terminal is measured in hours and called “Block Hours.” Revenue from Charter contracts is typically recognized over time as the services are performed based on Block Hours

38


operated on behalf of a customer. Payment terms and conditions vary by charter contract, although the vast majority of contracts require payment in advance of the services being provided. Since advance payments are typically made shortly before the services are performed, such payments are not considered significant financing components.

Our performance obligations under ACMI contracts involve outsourced passenger aircraft operating services, including the provision of an aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance. ACMI contracts generally provide for the transfer of the benefits from these performance obligations on a combined basis through the operation of the aircraft over time. Customers assume fuel, demand and price risk. Generally, customers are also responsible for landing, navigation and most other operational fees and costs. When we act as an agent for costs reimbursed by customers, such reimbursed amounts are recorded as Operating Revenue, net of the related costs, when the costs are incurred. When we are responsible for any of these costs, such reimbursed amounts are recorded as Operating Revenue and the costs are recorded as Operating Expenses as incurred.

Revenue from ACMI contracts is typically recognized over time as the services are performed based on Block Hours operated on behalf of a customer during a given month.

The Company commenced flight operations during August 2021 upon receipt ofOther operating revenue is typically recognized over time as the final DOT and FAA approvals.

Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires entities to measure and classify share based payments to a customer, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 718. The new guidance did not impact how we account for Share based payments.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update eliminates, clarifies, and modifies certain guidance relatedcustomers. Related to the accountingcancellation fees, these are earned from customers and recognized in the period for income taxes. The amended guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The update requires the use of an “expected loss” model on certain types of financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to calculate credit loss estimates. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, entities will be required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction to the carrying value of the asset. ASU 2016-13 was initially effective for non- public companies for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which delayed the effective date for certain entities, such as the Company, to apply ASU 2016-13 until fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company evaluated the impact of ASU 2016-13 and determined the adoption of Topic 326 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITION

On February 5, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Global USA with respect to a reverse merger transaction of the Company and Global USA (the “Transaction”). On June 23, 2020, the Transaction closed and Global USA had taken over the operations of the Company. On the closing of the Transaction, the consolidated entity changed its name to Global Crossing Airlines, Inc. (“Global”) and consolidated issued and outstanding common and variable voting shares (each a “Share”) on the basis of one post-consolidation Share for every ten pre-consolidation shares. Global USA is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global. The common shares of Global commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange as a Tier 2 industrial issuer under the symbol “JET” on June 25, 2020.

For accounting purposes, the reverse merger transaction is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization as the acquisition of a non-operating public shell company does not qualify as a business for business combination purposes, as described in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Reverse recapitalization accounting applies when a non-operating public shell company acquires a private operating company and the owners and management of the private operating company have actual or effective voting and operating control of the combined company. Correspondingly, the Company recognized the issuance of the restricted and unregistered share capital based on the assumption of net monetary liabilities, along with a recapitalization.

On the date of the Transaction, net liabilities of $1,286,533 were assumed.scheduled.

The accounting for the reverse merger results in the following:

a.
The consolidated financial statements of the combined entities are issued under the legal parent, Canada Jetlines, but are considered a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary, Global USA.
b.

The Company entered into an agreement with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS ("GEM"), the private alternative investment group to provide the Company with up to CND $100$100 million over a 36-month term following the closing of the Transaction (the “Facility”). The initial CAD $100$100 Million is in the form of a capital commitment that allows the Company to draw down funds during the 36-month term by issuing shares to GEM (or such persons as it may direct) and subject to share lending arrangement(s) being in place. The purchase price of the shares to be sold is set at (i) 90% of the recent average daily closing price of the Company’s common stock on the TSX Venture Exchange or (ii) the floor price set by the company for each drawn down. The Company controlsis not permitted to make a draw-down request in an amount that exceeds (i)1000% of the timingaverage daily trading volume of the Company’s stock for the 15 trading days preceding the draw-down date or (ii) 90% of the closing price on the trading day immediately prior to the issue or the relevant draw down notice and maximum amountthen added to the aggregate purchase price of drawdown under this facility and has no minimum drawdown obligation. all the common shares subscribed for pursuant to all prior closings would not exceed the total facility. GEM may accept or reject such drawn down notice based on various conditions described in the agreement. On July 8, 2020 the TSX Venture Exchange provided approval for the Facility.

The Company entered into a promissory note to pay GEM Yield Bahamas Limited a fee equal to two percent (2%(2%) of the aggregate purchase price, being $2,000,000$2,000,000 CAD ($1,418,880 USD). The fee is payable, whether or not any draw down notices have been delivered, as follows: the first 25% of the fee shall be paid within 12 months from the date of the agreement; an additional 25% of the fee shall be paid within 18 months from the date of the agreement and the rest of 50% of the fee shall be paid within 24 months from the date of this agreement. The note bears interest at 5 percent above the base rate of Barclays Bank PLC as per the promissory note. The note was recorded as a deferred finance cost on the consolidated balance sheet.

In addition, on July 10, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Facility, the Company issued 2,106,290 warrants to GEM exercisable at a price of CAD $0.50$0.50 per share until May 4, 2023. The initial fair value of the warrants was recorded as prepaid financing fee in the amount of $1,390,151.$1,390,151. The warrants’ fair value was calculated using the Monte Carlo pricing model, assuming an expected life of 2.82 years, a risk-free interest rate of 0.18%0.18%, an expected dividend rate of 0.00%0.00%, stock price of $0.94$0.94 and an expected annual volatility coefficient of 70%70%.

On June 28, 2021, GEM and the Company agreed to adjust the terms of the warrants. Under the adjustment agreement, the exercise price of the warrants was changed from CAD $0.50$0.50 per share to USD $0.39$0.39 per share. In addition, the number warrants granted was adjusted due to the Arrangement Agreement (Note 1) under which the Company transferred 75%75% of the shares of Jetlines to shareholders of the Company. Accordingly, the number of warrants was adjusted from 2,106,290 to 2,182,553.2,182,553. The warrants were remeasured at the adjustment date using the Monte Carlo pricing model, assuming an expected life of 1.85 years, a risk-free interest rate of 0.22%0.22%, an expected dividend rate of 0.00%0.00%, stock price of $2.03$2.03 and an expected annual volatility coefficient of 74.7%74.7%. The revaluation of the warrants resulted in a fair value at June 28, 2021 of $3,475,379,$3,475,379, producing a gain of $2,650,772.$2,650,772. The warrants were initially classified as derivative liabilities due to denomination of the exercise price in a foreign currency (CAD). As described in Note 13,12, the change in currency denomination to USD resulted in reclassification of the warrants to equity. The warrants fair value of the warrant liability was eliminated on the adjustment date and included in additional paid in capital on the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

On October 1, 2021, GEM has filed initial pleadings in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County Ofof New York, claiming the Company breached the share subscription agreement between the parties by failing to pay a $500,000$500,000 fee due on May 4, 2021 GEM is requesting repayment in full of the CAD $2,000,000$2,000,000 promissory note issued by the Company to GEM plus accrued interest and costs and expenses related to collection. TheAs of December 31, 2022, the note payable to GEM is recorded in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.sheet and the Company expensed the full outstanding amount capitalized as deferred financing costs of $2,809,031.

On January 18, 2023 the Court granted summary judgment in favor of GEM. GEM subsequently filed a motion seeking $2,000,000 CAD, plus interest totaling $218,493.87, with an additional $506.02 accruing each day after January 30, 2023 until entry of Judgment. GEM also seeks $112,584.50 in attorney's fees and $4,884.86 in costs. In 2022, interest and attorney's fees were recorded in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and other expenses non-operating on the consolidated statement of operation.

On March 29, 2023 Global Crossing Airlines and GEM entered into a final settlement which included a payment plan for the $2,000,000 CAD over nine months plus the extension of the agreement for 12 months. Consequently, GlobalX has adjusted the current liabilities to reverse the previously accrued interest and attorney’s fees no longer due. Upon final payment GEM agrees to file a satisfaction of

judgment in County of New York, effectively settling this issue. GlobalX made payments due per final settlement and the Company had no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2023.

On March 4, 2024, Global Crossing Airlines and GEM decided to extend the length of the Facility by 12 months and the new expiration date is March 4, 2025.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

As of December 31, 2021,2023 and 2022, the Company has net operating losses available for deduction against future taxable income of $17.7$49 million and $2.7$32 million, respectively. The net operating losses do not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely. The amount of state NOLs available equals the amount of federal NOLs.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of the liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. It was concluded on a more-likely-than-not basis that the Company’s deferred tax assets were not realizable as of December 31, 2021.2023. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $4.8$13.5 million has been recorded to offset these deferred tax assets. The change in in valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 20212023 from 20202022 was an increase of $4.0$4.9 million.

The Company recognizes the consolidated financial statement effect of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. If applicable, the Company reports both accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of Income Tax Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States and the State of Florida.Florida, California, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to potential income tax examination by the federal and state tax authorities in these jurisdictions for tax years that are open under local statute. For U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, the Company’s 20192020, 2021 and 20202022 tax returns remain open to examination.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Under GAAP, there are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

As of December 31, 2021,2023 and 2022, the Company did not have financialCompany's assets and liabilities measured atcarrying values approximate to their fair value on a recurring basis. Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 are summarized below and disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet:values.

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out of all financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Changes in the observable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments. The significant unobservable input (probability of a down round event) used in the fair value measurement is the estimation of the likelihood of the occurrence of a change in the contractual terms of the financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood or in the volatility assumptions would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value.

WARRANT LIABILITY

On July 10, 2020,August 2, 2023, the Company issued 2,106,29010,000,000 warrants with $1.00 exercise price in connection with the financing arrangement entered into with GEM Global Yield LLC.Secured Notes. The warrants allow the holder to purchase common stock at an exercise price equal to CAD $0.50 ($0.39 USD)$1.00 per share at any time on or after their issuance date and on or prior to the close of business 3 years after the issuance date (the “Termination Date”).June 30, 2030. At time of issuance, the Company determined that the warrants had a fair value of $4,300,000 and required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 815 due toequity. On December 21, 2023, the total warrants increased by 142,874 warrants with an exercise price of theUS$1.00 per warrant in connection with Secured Notes amendment as described on footnote 12. The additional warrants which was denominated in a foreign currency. As such, the warrants were re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income in the statement of operations. As described in Note 10, on June 28, 2021, adjustments were made to the warrants, changing the strike price from CAD to USD. The Company applied the guidance under ASC 480 and determined that the outstanding warrants represent freestanding financial interests classifiable as equity. Accordingly, thehad an estimated fair value of approximately $8,047 and they were classified as equity in the warrants as of June 28, 2021 was reclassified to additional paid in capital.

As described above and in Note 10, the Company’s warrant liability was re-measured to fair value on June 28, 2021 and reclassified to additional paid-in capital. As such, the Company had no warrant liabilitiesconsolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021.2023.

it is intended that repayment by the Company of amounts owing under the Debentures will be secured by a secured lien on the tangible fixed assets of the Company.

The Company determined that the terms of the Warrants issued in the financing require the Warrants to be classified as equity. Accordingly, upon issuance, the Company recorded debt issuance costs of $2.2 million related to the Warrants along with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital. As the Warrants are classified as equity warrants the Company will not remeasure the Warrants each accounting period.

Since the Warrants may purchase a fixed number of shares for a fixed price, the Company chose to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the warrants at issuance. The inputs selected are: underlying stock price at date of issuance of $1.04 per share, exercise price of $1.24 per share, expected term of 2 years, dividends of $0, a risk free rate of -0.6%, and volatility of 143%.

The debt issuance costs resulting from the warrants along with other direct costs of the Financing will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.

On January 27, 2023, the Company announced an up to $5.0 million loan (the "Loan") with a key investor to provide working capital and additional liquidity to support GlobalX’s rapidly growing operations. The net proceeds of the Loan will be used to further the business objectives of the Company and to secure additional aircraft for charter operations. As of December 31, 2022,2023, the Company received $2.5 million from the loan and this balance was paid off in connection with the new $35.0 million secured notes closed on August 2, 2023.

This loan was paid off in connection with the new $35.0 million secured notes closed on August 2, 2023 and the outstanding balance related to debt costs and discounts of approximately $945 thousand was written off.

The terms of the promissory note (the "Note") issued in connection with Loan include:

a maturity date of 6 months from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and the principal amount and all of the Note, together with any
accrued and unpaid interest, will be payable on the Maturity Date;
the Note bears interest at the rate of 5%20% per annum, from January 1, 2023 will be dueaccruing monthly and payable on the Maturity Date;

The first tranche was advanced within one business day and the second tranche will be advanced after the Company delivers a draw down notice, but subject to the lender receiving internal approval for the second tranche; and
the Note is unsecured, is not convertible and provides for no warrants.

On August 2, 2023, the Company closed the placement of $35 million senior secure notes due 2029. The proceeds from these notes were used to pay-off the pre-existing Loan and Subscription Agreement.

The terms of the senior secure notes include:

collateral substantially of all the Company's assets.

The Company determined that the terms of the Warrants issued in the financing require the Warrants to be classified as equity. Accordingly, upon issuance, the Company recorded debt issuance costs of $3.8 million related to the Warrants along with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital. As the Warrants are classified as equity warrants the Company will not remeasure the Warrants each accounting period.

Since the Warrants may purchase a fixed number of shares for a fixed price, the Company chose to use the Monte Carlo option pricing model to value the warrants at issuance. The inputs selected are: underlying stock price at date of issuance of $0.85 per share, exercise price of $1.0 per share, expected term of 6.91 years, dividends of $0, a risk free rate of 4.21%, and volatility of 50%.

The debt issuance costs resulting from the warrants along with other direct costs of the financing will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.

On December 21, 2023, the Company, and the senior secure notes due 2029 purchasers amended the original placement of $35 million senior secure notes due 2029 for the sale of an additional $5M senior secure notes due 2029 to original purchasers and the total warrants increased by 142,874 warrants with an exercise price of US$1.00 per warrant. The net proceeds from the sale of the additional notes will be used to repurchase $4.3M principal amount of senior secure notes due 2029 from an original purchaser plus payment of accrued interest due of $251 thousand, with the balance expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including the transaction expenses and deposits to expand its current fleet of aircraft. No other substantial modification to the terms of the original $35 million senior secure notes due on the note2029 was $31,416. In connection with the spinoff described in Note 3, the loan payable was includedmade in the net liabilities transferred on June 28, 2021.

The Company recognizes share-based payments expense for all stock options granted using the fair value based method of accounting. The fair value of stock options is determined by the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with assumptions for risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s shares, forfeiture rate, and expected life of the options.

There were no stock options granted during the yearyears ended December 31, 2021. The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020.2023 and 2022.

For the year ended December 31, 2020

Risk-free interest rate

0.38%

Expected life (years)

Annualized volatility

Dividend yield

0%

Restricted share units

The Company grants restricted share units (“RSUs”) to directors, officers, employees and consultants as compensation for services, pursuant to its Amended RSU Plan (the “RSU Plan”). One restricted share unit has the same value as a Voting Share. The number of RSUs awarded and underlying vesting conditions are determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion.

At the election of the Board of Directors, upon each vesting date, participants receive (a) the issuance of Voting Shares from treasury equal to the number of RSUs vesting, or (b) a cash payment equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the fair market value of a Voting Share, calculated as the closing price of the Voting Shares on the TSXVNEO for the trading day immediately preceding such payment date; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).

On the grant date of RSUs, the Company determines whether it has a present obligation to settle in cash. If the Company has a present obligation to settle in cash, the RSUs are accounted for as liabilities, with the fair value remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the period. The Company has a present obligation to settle in cash if the choice of settlement in shares has no commercial substance, or the Company has a past practice or a stated policy of settling in cash, or generally settles in cash whenever the counterpartycounterpart asks for cash settlement.

50


If no such obligation exists, RSUs are accounted for as equity settled share-based payments and are valued using the share price on grant date. Upon settlement:

a.
If the Company elects to settle in cash, the cash payment is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest (i.e. as a deduction from equity), except as noted in (c) below.
b.
If the Company elects to settle by issuing shares, the value of RSUs initially recognized in reserves is reclassified to capital, except as noted in (c) below.
c.
If the Company elects the settlement alternative with the higher fair value, As of the date of settlement, the Company recognizes an additional expense for the excess value given (i.e. the difference between the cash paid and the fair value of shares that would otherwise have been issued, or the difference between the fair value of the shares and the amount of cash that would otherwise have been paid, whichever is applicable).

Basic earnings per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing Net Income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The number of

incremental shares from the assumed issuance of shares relating to share based awards is calculated by applying the treasury stock method.

Our Chief Executive OfficerChairman and President & Chief Financial Officer, referred to collectively herein as the Certifying Officers, are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive OfficerChairman and the President & Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Certifying Officers have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2021.2023. Our Chief Executive OfficerChairman and President & Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021,2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. not effective, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

1.
Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Remediation Plans

In addition,order to mitigate the foregoing material weakness, the Company plans to take steps to develop and enhance its internal controls over financial reporting in 2024, including:

1.
Developing formal policies and procedures over accounting and reporting disclosure requirements.
2.
Provide additional training on application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
3.
Obtain checklists to ensure all application disclosures required under US GAAP and SEC requirements are included in each filing.

As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, Certifying officers and management may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary. Therefore, we cannot assure you when the Company will remediate the material weakness identified above, nor can we be certain that additional actions will not be required and what the costs of any such additional actions may be. Moreover, we cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future.

Notwithstanding the material weakness identified in our internal control over financial reporting, we believe that the consolidated financial statements in this annualquarterly report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2021,2023 and consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the yearperiod then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Executive Compensation

Our performance-driven compensation program for our NEOs consists of the following main components:

base salary;
performance-based incentives;
equity-based incentives;
benefits; and
perquisites.

We will continue to build our executive compensation program around each of these elements because each individual component is useful in furthering our compensation philosophy and we believe that, collectively, they are effective in achieving our overall objectives.

Base Salary. We provide our NEOs with a base salary to compensate them for their service to our company during each fiscal year. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation that adequately reflects the executive’s qualifications, experience, role and responsibilities. Base salary amounts are established based on consideration of, among other factors, the scope of the NEO’s position, responsibilities and years of service and our compensation committee’s general knowledge of the competitive market, based on, among other things, experience with other similarly situated companies and our industry and market data.

The Option Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options which are not intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Amended“Code”). When considering new grants of share-based or option-based awards, we intend to take into account previous grants of such awards.

Eligible Participants. Certain employees, directors and consultants are eligible to be granted awards under the Option Plan”Plan. No eligible person, participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted an award under the Option Plan. The Board of Directors is not required to treat with uniformity eligible persons, participants, or holders or beneficiaries of awards under the Plan.

Administration. The Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company. All of the powers exercisable by the Board of Directors under the Option Plan may, to the extent permitted by law and authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors, be exercised by a compensation committee of not less than three directors, all of whom shall not be employees of the Company.

Subject to applicable limitations in the Option Plan and to applicable law, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, as the case may be, has the authority to:

designate which eligible persons will be granted awards under the Option Plan;
determine the type or types of awards to be granted to each participant under the Option Plan;

amend the terms and conditions of any award or option agreement;
accelerate the exercisability of any award or the lapse of any restrictions relating to any award;
determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances awards may be exercised in cash, our common stock, other securities, other awards or other property (excluding promissory notes), or canceled, forfeited or suspended;
interpret and administer the Option Plan and any option agreement or other instrument or agreement relating to the Option Plan;

Extension of Option Plan Term. Under the rules of the NEO Exchange, it will expire on December 8, 2025, the third anniversary of the date that stockholders last approved the Option Plan.

Amendments to the Option Plan. Our Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Option Plan at any time, provided that no amendment to the terms of any previously granted award may, (except as expressly provided in the Option Plan) materially and adversely alter or impair the terms or conditions of the award previously granted to a participant under the Option Plan without the written consent of the participant or holder thereof and subject to applicable law. However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Option Plan or any option agreement, stockholder approval must be obtained for any amendment to the Option Plan that:

increases the number of common stock which may be issued under the Option Plan;

If any provision of the Option Plan or an option agreement would result in adverse tax consequences to the Company, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may amend such provision (or take any other action reasonably necessary) to avoid any adverse tax consequences. No action taken to avoid any adverse tax consequences to the Company will be deemed impair or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any holder of an award or any beneficiary of such holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board is specifically authorized to amend or revise the terms of the PSU Plan or PSUs without obtaining stockholder approval in the following circumstances:

1.
to change the termination or vesting provisions of the PSUs, except for the benefit of a Related Person;
2.
other amendments of a housekeeping nature, including the correction or rectification of any ambiguities, defective or inconsistent provisions, errors, mistakes or omissions herein and updating provisions herein to reflect changes in the governing laws, including tax laws, and the NEO Exchange requirements.

Except as otherwise permitted by the NEO Exchange, amendments to the Plan set out in Section 10.12(7) of the NEO Exchange Listing Manual, may not be made without obtaining approval of the stockholders in accordance with NEO Exchange requirements.

Amendments to Awards under the PSU Plan. Unless otherwise provided by the PSU Plan, the Board may (without stockholder approval) amend, modify or terminate any outstanding PSU, including, but not limited to, substituting another award of the same or of a different type or changing the restricted period; provided, however, that, the designated participant’s consent to such action shall be required unless the Board determines that the action when taken with any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the designated participant or is specifically permitted.

Term of PSU: The maximum term for an PSU shall not exceed that period commencing on the January 1 coincident with or immediately preceding the grant and ending on December 15 of the third year following the calendar year in which such PSUs were granted.

Vesting: PSUs granted to a participant shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule established by the Board at the time of the grant and as set out in the participant’s PSU agreement.

64


Transferability. A participant may not assign, transfer, pledge, attach, alienate or otherwise encumber an award (other than fully vested and unrestricted shares) granted to it under the PSU Plan, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Compensation Committee may permit the transfer of an award to family members if such transfer will be for no value and in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Compensation Committee may also establish procedures for a participant to designate a person or persons, as beneficiary or beneficiaries, to exercise the rights of a participant or receive any property distributable with respect to any award in the event of the participant’s death.

Change in Control. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, or unless otherwise provided in an agreement with the Company or its related entity, or in an PSU agreement, if a change in control shall conclusively be deemed to have occurred and either one of the following occurs: a) upon a change in control the surviving corporation (or any related entity thereof) or the potential successor (or any related entity thereto) fails to “continue or assume” the obligations with respect to each option or fails to provide for the “conversion or replacement” of each PSU with an equivalent PSU that satisfies the criteria set forth in the PSU Plan; or b) in the event that the PSUs were “continued or assumed”, or “converted or replaced” as contemplated in the PSU Plan, during the two-year period following the effective date of a change in control, the participant’s employment or engagement is terminated as contemplated in the PSU Plan, then there shall be immediate full vesting and redemption of each outstanding PSU.

Shares Available for Awards; Award Limits. The number of shares available for future awards under the PSU Plan, and all other stock based compensation plans, is 9,400,000 less the number of shares subject to awards outstanding on the record date of the Annual Meeting (as of December 31, 2023, 1,946,911 shares are available for future awards under the PSU Plan, and all other stock based compensation plans). Any shares subject to awards outstanding on the date of the Annual Meeting that are thereafter exercised, forfeited, terminated or cancelled will again be available for future awards under the PSU Plan. The number of shares issued or reserved pursuant to the PSU Plan will be adjusted by the plan administrator, as they deem appropriate and equitable, as a result of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar changes in our common stock.

Any shares of common stock subject to an award under the PSU Plan that are exercised, forfeited, cancelled, settled or otherwise terminated will thereafter be deemed to be available for awards.

Compliance with Applicable Laws. We intend for awards granted under the PSU Plan to be designed, granted, and administered in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

New Plan Benefits Under the PSU Plan. Future awards under the PSU Plan will be made at the discretion of the plan administrator based on such factors as the plan administrator deems relevant at the time the awards are made.

Summary of the ESPP Plan

The Company has established an Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The purpose of the ESPP is to assist eligible employees of the Company and its designated subsidiaries and affiliates (“Eligible Employees”) in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company.

The ESPP permits two types of offerings: a Section 423 Offering and a Non-Section 423 Offering. It is the intention of the Company to have each Section 423 Offering qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations issued thereunder (the “Code”) and to have each Non-Section 423 Offering be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of the ESPP with respect to any Section 423 Offering shall, accordingly, be construed and administered consistently with that intention. Except as otherwise provided in the ESPP or determined by the Administrator, each Non-Section 423 Offering will operate and be administered in the same manner as any Section 423 Offering.

The material terms of the ESPP are:

Any Shares distributed pursuant to the ESPP may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares, treasury shares or Shares purchased on the open market.
The administrator of the ESPP (“Administrator”) may from time to time grant or provide for the grant of rights to purchase Common Shares under the ESPP to Eligible Employees during one or more periods (each, an “Offering Period”) selected by the Administrator. The terms and conditions applicable to each Offering Period shall be set forth in an “Offering Document” adopted by the Administrator from time to time, which Offering Document shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate and shall be incorporated by reference into and made part of the ESPP. The Administrator may establish in each Offering Document one or more Purchase Periods within such Offering Period during which rights granted under the ESPP shall be exercised and purchases of Shares carried

65


out in accordance with such Offering Document and the ESPP. The provisions of separate Offerings or Offering Periods under the ESPP may be partially or wholly concurrent and need not be identical.
Any Eligible Employee who shall be employed by the Company or a designated subsidiary or affiliate on a given enrollment date for an Offering Period shall be eligible to participate in the ESPP during such Offering Period.
Each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted a right to purchase the maximum number of Common Shares specified in the ESPP (at the applicable Purchase Price), as is determined by dividing (a) such Participant’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such purchase date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Purchase Date, by (b) the applicable Purchase Price (rounded down to the nearest Share).
The “Purchase Price” means the purchase price designated by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document, which purchase price shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share (e.g. closing sales price for such Common Shares as quoted on an established stock exchange for such date) on the Enrollment Date or on the Purchase Date, whichever is lower.

Retirement and Other Benefits

The Company does not currently have any retirement or other benefits plans.
